Israel launched a precise 5 AM preemptive strike on Hezbollah this morning who then launched hundreds of missiles and drones back at the Jewish state

At the breaking of the dawn this morning in the Middle East, Israel launched a bold 5 AM preemptive strike on Hezbollah in Lebanon after receiving intelligence of a multiprong attack from the terror group. It defused the bulk of the attack, but Netanyahu said as good as this was, it is ‘not the end of the story’ as both sides are now settling in for a much-larger conflict.

“Go up to Lebanon, and cry; and lift up thy voice in Bashan, and cry from the passages: for all thy lovers are destroyed.” Jeremiah 22:20 (KJB)

Hezbollah terror leader Hassan Nasrallah has talked very tough against Israel for quite some time, and indeed, the cache of missiles they possess are nothing to sneeze at. But when they returned fire against Israel this morning, it was underwhelming to say the least. The JPost reported that the relatively low-key impact and damage of the attack sparked a wave of online comments from users around the Arab world mocking Hezbollah for its actions, and focusing especially on reports of damaged chicken pens in the Galilee region. A Jordanian commenter added, “Iranian Hezbollah takes revenge for Fouad Shukr and Haniyeh by striking an Israeli chicken coop, killing a number of chickens?!!” One user named Omar compared the high-ranking leader assassinated by Israel and Hezbollah’s response, showing the burning chicken pen, while another user named Adel wrote, “Hezbollah excels in its precision in killing chickens.” Ouch! Though the conflict is far from over, this round absolutely goes to Israel who clearly ate Hezbollah’s lunch for breakfast this morning. Am Yisrael Chai!

Netanyahu warns ‘this is not the end’ after Israel and Hezbollah exchange heavy fire in major escalation

FROM THE INDEPENDENT UK: Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned that “this is not the end” as Israel and Iranian-backed Hezbollah exchanged heavy fire in southern Lebanon in an escalation of the Middle Eastern conflict. The cross-border firing of missiles, rockets and drones was the largest day of attacks since the conflict between Hezbollah and Israel was reignited last October, after fellow Iran-backed group Hamas led a deadly incursion into Israel.

The Israeli military said it had struck Lebanon, the south of which is controlled by Hezbollah, on Sunday morning with around 100 jets to thwart an attack from the Iran-backed militia.

Hezbollah then fired hundreds of projectiles and drones at Israel, claiming they fired 320 Katyusha rockets and hit 11 military targets in what it called the “first phase” of its retaliation for Israel’s assassination of Fuad Shukr, a senior Hezbollah commander, last month.

“What happened today is not the end of the story,” said Mr Netanyahu. “Hezbollah tried to attack the state of Israel early this morning with rockets. We instructed the Israeli military to carry out a powerful pre-emptive strike to remove the threat.

“The Israeli military destroyed thousands of short-range rockets which were all intended to harm our citizens and our forces in the Galilee. In addition, the [Israeli military] intercepted all of the UAVs [unmanned aerial vehicles] that they sent to a strategic target in the centre of the country.

“We are hitting Hezbollah with surprising blows. Three weeks ago we eliminated their chief of staff and today we thwarted their attack.”

Referring to the leader of Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, and the ruler of Iran, Ali Khamenei, Mr Netanyahu added that the pair “should know this is another step on the way to changing the situation in the north”. Hezbollah denied Mr. Netanyahu’s claims that they had been planning to fire thousands of rockets and that the Israeli attack had reduced the scope of their aerial assault. ​​Mr. Nasrallah, speaking late on Sunday, claimed that Hezbollah had not used precision missiles in their strikes but that they could use them in the near future.

“We will assess the impact of today’s operation. If results are not seen to be enough, we will respond another time,” he said.

In a lengthy speech, he added that Hezbollah had targeted an Israeli military intelligence base just outside Tel Aviv and had ruled out targeting civilian infrastructure. Photos from the Israeli coastal town of Acre, however, showed several homes had been damaged by the salvo of rockets, though no civilians were reported killed.

Missiles were visible curling up through the dawn sky, leaving dark vapour trails behind them, as an air raid siren sounded in Israel and a distant blast lit the horizon, while smoke rose over houses in Khiam in southern Lebanon. READ MORE

Hezbollah is ready to launch a huge attack on Israel after a decade of evil plotting and building a miles-long tunnel network and a missile city

We have been told for many weeks now that ‘an attack on Israel is imminent’, and yet each day comes and goes and so far no substantial attacks have come forth. Lots of little skirmishes but nothing close to what has been threatened. In the meantime, Israel continues to make very good progress in eliminating terror cells of both Hamas and Hezbollah. The declared death toll of Hezbollah fighters is now at 427, leading one to wonder what will it take for Hezbollah to declare war?

“Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the uttermost sea shall your coast be.” Deuteronomy 11:24 (KJB)

The AhlulBayt News Agency said “Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement has unveiled a sophisticated underground missile facility at the same time as addressing a strong warning to the Israeli regime. The movement revealed the “Imad 4” facility in a video released by its Military Media outlet on Friday. The facility features a convoluted tunnel network, missile launchpads, and blast doors opening outwards that could be used for launching the projectiles towards predetermined targets.” You can watch this new video by reading this article on our web site.

Hezbollah ready to launch huge October 7-style attack on Israel after 10 years of plotting & building miles of tunnels

FROM THE SUN US: Analysts monitoring years of military activity in southern Lebanon warned that October 7 could soon look “like a picnic” if and when the Lebanese terrorists unleash hell. Hezbollah’s tunnels are said to serve multiple purposes, including military operations, smuggling, and the storage of weapons.

A recent video posted by the terror group even revealed chilling snippets of hidden terror tunnel network from which missiles can be launched. But the exact extent and current state of the underground networks are still not fully known to the public despite the eerie previews.

Lieutenant Colonel Sarit Zehavi, a former Israeli Defence Force intelligence analyst who has been studying Hezbollah for decades, told The Sun: “The risk has never been greater.

“Hezbollah has ten times the firepower of Hamas, with a total military force of 50,000 and up to 5,000 elite troops ready to storm across the border.

“They have built miles of tunnels connecting their forces and more attack tunnels to storm into Israel. They are cut into solid rock and bigger than the Hamas tunnels — some big enough to drive a truck through — with electric power and even air conditioning. But the biggest threat is posed by the sheer volume of their weapons arsenal. They have more than 200,000 rockets, guided missiles and drones.”

Lieutenant Colonel Zehavi fears that Hezbollah may now have enough weapons to overwhelm the Iron Dome and David’s Sling air defences, which protect Israeli towns and cities.

“And once their attack starts, it could go on for months — at the same time as others from Iran, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, and from Gaza and the West Bank inside Israel,” she said. “All this is pointed towards us — we are already in a fight for our very existence.” READ MORE

Furthermore, Hezbollah launched around 30 rockets into northern Israel on the same day, with portions toward the Golan and portions toward the Galilee.

Although the IDF intercepted some drones and rockets, other drones penetrated the IDF’s defense shield, striking south of Nahariya and wounding many civilians, the IDF said. The strikes come as tension remains high between Israel and Lebanon’s Hezbollah after Israel killed Hezbollah’s military commander, Fuad Shukr. 

Israel’s strike on Shukr came following a Hezbollah rocket launch, which resulted in the deaths of 12 children from the Druze town of Majdal Shams. In addition, Iran has vowed to attack Israel directly following the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran in the early hours of Wednesday last week. READ MORE
