A phrase from the 80’s, “this place looks like Beirut,” is coming back into style. Hezbollah and Lebanese Officials just learned an important lesson. Stashing a military headquarters in the basement of an apartment block won’t prevent it from being bombed. Israel doesn’t give a flying fig about human shields. It’s the terrorists who shoulder the entire blame for intentionally putting civilians in harm’s way. Israel was after Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. It appears they didn’t get him but they’ll try again.
Beirut HQ bombed
While Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was speaking at the UN, the IDF was busy bombing the Dahieh neighborhood of Beirut. All the smarter citizens were on “vacation.” Everyone who lives there knows where Hezbollah’s central headquarters was located.
It’s amazing that the casualty count wasn’t a whole lot higher. One of the goat humpers’ favorite tactics is to put their high profile targets in the middle of, or under, civilians. Schools and hospitals are their favorite shelters.
Joe Biden can shove his ceasefire negotiations, Benjamin Netanyahu informed the world on Thursday. He doesn’t care what the Ayatollah says or does, Israel will “defeat Hezbollah.”
It was crystal clear to Lebanon’s caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati that Thursday’s Beirut bombing showed Israel “does not care” about “U.S.-led efforts to bring about a ceasefire.”
The “series of huge air strikes” killed “at least two people.” 76 others were injured. A whole bunch more will be looking for a new apartment when they get back from vacation, if they come back.
According to reporters with the BBC stationed in Beirut, “explosions continued for more than a minute followed by chaotic scenes with nearby roads packed with people fleeing.” It’s not like they hadn’t been warned ahead of time that the Israelis were coming.
Nasrallah is fine
Hezbollah is looking for a new apartment building to house their headquarters but their leader, Hassan Nasrallah was “fine.” Israeli media had reported him as the target of the Beirut airstrike. They aren’t saying how he missed his appointment with death. After all their pagers and radios blew up, they’re well aware “Israel has sharply escalated its campaign.”
They’ve been trading rockets, drones, artillery shells and small arms fire back and forth across the border for a year. The little game started by European bankers and global arms dealers was supposed to go on forever. That way, they could keep selling rockets and other munitions to both sides. Netanyahu doesn’t want to play that game. He’s going to end it once and for all.
This week alone, “air strikes on southern and eastern Lebanon” vaporized “nearly 800 people, many of them civilians.” Civilians who should have known not to be anywhere near where they were. Hezbollah won’t back down. They “continued firing at Israel.”
Meanwhile, over in Iran, the Ayatollah is poking them with a stick to ramp things up. To back their play, he gave the green light for a “salvo of Fadi 1 missiles” on Friday morning. Those “hit the Ilaniya area” inside Israel. Beirut is about to get a flashback of what life was like for them in 1982. That’s when the Israelis had them under siege, like they’re about to do to Gaza.
In New York, Netanyahu promised “returning about 70,000 displaced Israelis to their homes in northern Israel.” He’ll keep bombing Lebanon until it’s free of Hezbollah goat humpers. “As long as Hezbollah chooses the path of war, Israel has no choice. And Israel has every right to remove this threat and return our citizens to their home safely. And that’s exactly what we’re doing.” Decisively, he emphasized, more than once.
Thursday in Beirut is only a sample. Half wars got them into this mess. As soon as he stepped away from the podium he headed for the airport to get back to Israel. He couldn’t wait to get the stench of Democrats out of his nostrils.
