Continuing the attacks on southern Lebanon, an Israeli drone carried out a strike in Naqoura against an ambulance, killing a paramedic and wounding another in the process.
The ambulance operator, the Islamic Health Authority, identified the slain paramedic as Haider Mahmoud Jahir, saying he was from Naqoura and was born in 1979. Israel did not comment on the matter, nor indicate why they attacked an ambulance.
Israel has repeatedly targeted paramedics for no apparent reason, both in southern Lebanon and the Gaza Strip. In late March, the IDF killed seven paramedics in a single day.
The strategy in March was an attempt to rebrand the paramedics as terrorists, a process that continued even as it was revealed US-made munitions were used in attacks. Most ambulance attacks continue to come and go with no comment at all.
Earlier in the day Hezbollah targeted Iron Dome systems in Marbad al-Zaoura as well as attacking Israeli troops in the settlement of Shomera, claiming a direct hit on them.
Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah gave a speech stressing the importance of the struggle against Israel, presenting it as an “existential battle” and saying that it was crucial for the future of Lebanon as well as the nation’s sovereignty.
Israel is busy attacking virtually everyone in the region… Is their effort at peace?…. Ah,I forgot, theater word is not familiar to them at all.
Hezbollah has expended perhaps 1/10 of its arsenal. Perhaps less.
If they have use 10% of their arsenal, they have accomplished very little. That means they have about 140,000 rockets left. Meanwhile, Israel has 950 155mm guns. If each guns has just 200 rounds ammo supply, a very low number, that means Israel can toss 190,000 shells at Hezbollah. Now toss air strikes.
"If they have use 10% of their arsenal, they have accomplished very little". Not so. Hezbollah has forced the evacuation of 90,000 Israelis living near the border to accommodation further to the south, paid for by the Israeli government, which has disrupted the economy of the area. Very expensive for Israel in the short and long run..but not expensive enough.
The IDF is a mob in uniform. It is a travesty to call them soldiers.
They are Soldiers, Soldiers of the criminal organization that is zionist Israel. The Mafia has Soldiers, why shouldn't the Israeli Mob?
Nasrallah is right, it is an existential battle and crucial but for more than Lebanon or Palestine, it's bigger than both. It's a battle of what will rule this world, Good or Evil.
The US currently remains a great power, there would be no Israeli Genocide if not for the US and it could end it today, if it wasn't consumed with greed and power. Thus were there any doubt remaining, to cap it's 30-odd hegemonic years delivering WW death and destruction with Genocide eliminates all doubt, the US is not among the Good.
Good vs Evil? It is never that simple. And tell me what was good about Oct 7?
