    Yeah, saying these attacks took hezbollah 20 years backwards is a massive exaggeration.

    I wish it was true, but attacks on weapons depots is not enough to counteract the massive amounts of underground infrastructure, tunnels and manpower they have built over the past 20 years.

    Yeah Hizbollah are probably still strong. But people need to calm down over this rhetoric that they will still do something massive. Every day these air strikes continue, hell every hour that they do, Hizbollah gets massively weakened. This won’t be 2006 all over again, Israel has learnt that lesson.

  4. Does anyone have a quick tldr article explaining Hezbollah’s occupancy In Lebanon? I keep seeing Lebanese friends of mine crying out for help the way the Palestinians have been but I’m like… they’re a terrorist organization firing projectiles into another country… what do you expect Israel to do? Not fire back just because?

  5. Iran news showing OLD videos and pictrues of Drones hitting Ukraine power stations and claim its Hezbollah hitting Israeli grid lmao. actually idiots.

    This is what happens when a country’s government and people, like Lebanon, do not have sovereignty with their administration or military. They are held hostage to a proxy group funded by Iran’s money, ideology, and self interest.

  7. Well, considering they were using pagers when this started, that should put them around…. 1960?

  8. Good. Those terrorists need to be held accountable for their crimes. Instead of trying to hold Israel back, the US should be congratulating and thanking Israel for taking out terrorists who have American blood on their hands.

  9. “Iran” wanted this war and the initial Hamas raid. But why? Iran pulls the strings of Hamas and Hezbollah. Who is pulling Iran’s strings? How does an Israeli/Muslim war support that whole axis of power? Are they just risk free trying to spread resources and see what happens? Is there a larger play related to global strategy that I’m not getting?

  10. Now would be a great time to get to the negotiating table, Israel and Lebanon, to strike a long term peace deal, like Egypt and Jordan. Priority number one for Lebanon is to eject Hezbollah.

  11. Good, we should be encouraging destabilizing or neutralizing terrorist organizations around the world
