Israel carried out air raids targeting border areas around southern Lebanon on Friday, with local sources reporting that they were hitting “anything that moves in the field.” At least 10 people were reported killed, eight of them Hezbollah members.
Strikes were reported in Tayr Harfa, Ayta al-Jabal, Mays al-Jabal, and Aitaroun. An Israeli drone strike was also reported in the Tyre District. Israel said one of the targets was named Muhammad Najam, and that he was affiliated with Hezbollah’s rocket and missile unit.
Among the slain in the Ayta al-Jabal strike was Najam, but also a young child and another person. Hezbollah issued a statement amid the strikes confirming that five of their members were killed.
Israel’s attacks were reportedly a retaliation from Hezbollah firing missiles at the Mount Meron air base. Hezbollah responded to the Israeli killings by firing more rockets against northern Israel, many of them against the area of Safed.
Israel’s military confirmed that two of the missiles fired at Mount Meron scored direct hits. They insisted that the base’s capacity and detection system remained intact after the strike, and is still in operation.
Israel and Hezbollah have been trading fired against one another since October, with the sides escalating dramatically in recent months. Lebanon reported that there have been 2,000 casualties on their side of the border since the fighting began. The report came out earlier this week, and does not include today’s casualties.
"anything that moves in the field" That is the problem Hezbollah has. They are only "safe" if they hide in the ground. Once above ground, they are dead.
As usual you ignore the fact that Israel's rules of engagement include hitting "anything that moves in the field".
And if Hezbollah was supported by the superpower, they'd have bases in the wide open with state-of-the-art weaponry protecting them while the IDF would be hiding under ground wetting themselves since they've been so used to shooting fish in a barrel. But you keep bringing that up as if it's cowardly not to put themselves out in the open and be sitting ducks.
"And if Hezbollah was supported by the superpower" They are not and they will not be. So stop with the fantasy talk.
And for the rules engagement, if the IDF sees terrorists they take the shot. If terrorists are using civilians as shields that is on terrorists.
It wasn't fantasy talk moron. Every time I think you can't be denser than I thought you were, you prove me wrong.
And once more you described what Israel does as legitimate but claim that Hezbollah are terrorists for doing the same thing. BOMBING CITIES. And that's AFTER 10 months of Israel dropping 14,000 2,000 lb. bombs on cities that are densely populated with mostly women and children.
I believe Tim Burns might be the second coming of Don Julio as it seems that no two people could be that naive.
Is Don bydone now…?!
Tim:
What are your thoughts on a true and lasting peace, in the region?…. … …
How can you think of peace with someone who practices rectal torture? … and who know what more?
And how can one have peace with people that hold bodies of the dead just to mentally torture their love ones? Both sides are guilty of crimes.
Projection, just like all Hamas “atrocities”.
Peace will come in the region when the Palestinians love their children more than they love killing Israelis. As Oct 7 shows, the Palestinians put their desire to kill Israelis over the safety of their own people. The leaders of Hamas knew that Israel would hit Gaza very hard and they didn't care.
“The Palestinians” followed by a negative claim is a slur based on based on race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, disability, sex, sexual orientation or gender identity.
It’s no different than “the Jews” followed by a negative claim.
If you want to continue commenting on this site, knock it off.
I don't think he knows how…!
You really believe it’s a deliberate IDF policy to kill civilians in a effort to punish the resistance ?
WTF?!………..!?!?…………
Tic Toc, tic toc! Where are the hands on the nuclear clock?!

What the difference between a "Pre-emptive Strike" and an "unprovoked attack"? The bias of the journalist and the propaganda machine, of course. No matter, the western media machine will somehow fully justify this horrible attack by Israel as they continue so fan the flames of war all around the Middle East.
Most of the world isn't buying anything that the Western Press puts out about the Middle East war. I would imagine that even D.C. s flunkies know the truth just can't say as they are aware that 'Sanction Nation' might put some sanctions on them as well. C'mon Brics.
Bibi just had to make a pre-emptive strike on any possibility of even the brief ceasefire he was being gently cajoled towards. In that sense the threat of peace was eliminated.
A couple of Palestinian acquaintances of mine mentioned to me some while ago well before the Gaza invasion started something I found surprising. They said, "We are not against the Israelis living here. They can live here, and we are not concerned. We are more concerned about the other Arabs. The only thing we ask of the Israelis is that they quit behaving like Arabs." Well, that threw me.
I think of the time after World War II when the Allied nations had a program in place to starve out what was left of Germany, when a greater threat than Germany was realized in the form of the communist Soviet Union; that Germany could be an ally serving as a bulwark against the Soviet threat, and thus the Marshall plan came to be.
In a similar sense, I perceive the Israelis passing up an opportunity. Instead of destroying so much land and people, the real possibility exists that they find an ally in the Palestinian folk to make a greater nation together. Right now all the Israelis are doing with all their spoliation is destroying Israel itself.

Who is negotiating for us in the Middle East? Bombs are dropping all over the place! Sleepy Joe is sleeping on a Beach in California, viciously Exiled by the Democrats, and Comrade Kamala is doing a campaign bus tour with Tampon Tim, her really bad V.P. Pick. Let’s not have World War lll, because that’s where we’re heading!

The Biden admin, along with US media stenographers, has provided cover for Israel's methodical assault and destruction of Gaza's hospital system. Now Israel is targeting Gaza's last functional hospital, Al-Aqsa. The rest, as Palestinian nurse Ahmed Kouta says, have been reduced to barely functioning first aid stations.
Dr Mohammed Al Najjar – – This is the last photo from ICU in Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital. We have been forced to evacuate hospital, there will be no doctor or nurse, and patients will be left to inevitably. (Die?)
Please any one can see this post do any thing to stop this genocide
I will not leave the hospital
