Another Hezbollah bunker, busted

The New Neo Posted on by

Nasrallah’s likely successor and a whole bunch of other Hezbollah higher-ups were meeting in a bunker, and then:

A series of huge explosions rocked the densely populated neighborhoods just south of Beirut at midnight on Thursday as Israel kept up its bombing campaign aimed at Hezbollah leaders and weapon stores. …

Three Israeli officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence, said the explosions were Israeli airstrikes intended to destroy an underground bunker where senior Hezbollah leaders were meeting. The group included Hashem Safieddine, the presumed successor to Hassan Nasrallah, the longtime Hezbollah chief who was assassinated in a similar attack last week, the officials said.

The modus operandi seems similar to the approach that took out Nasrallah.

As Netanyahu said:

There is no place—there is no place in Iran—that the long arm of Israel cannot reach. And that’s true of the entire Middle East. …

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 homes safely, and that’s exactly what we’re doing.

Just this week, the IDF destroyed large percentages of Hezbollah’s rockets, which were built with Iran’s funding for three decades. We took out senior military commanders who not only shed Israeli blood but American and French blood as well.

And then we took out their replacements. And then the replacements of their replacements. And we’ll continue degrading Hezbollah until all our objectives are met.

You can’t say they weren’t warned.

    Oh, hello fellas, and Bye-bye!

  2. And Biden/Harris can’t do donkey about it, with Biden drooling on the beach, Harris trying to string words together for the election, and the Cabal out of their depth without a front man or woman..

    Israel has had enough and then some. Now they are determined and free to destroy the Ring of Fire around them.

    This is good for Israel, that they can for once finish the war. But it’s pretty terrible for the US. I think it takes too long for China to mass shipping for an invasion of Taiwan, and Russia seems to have its hands full in Ukraine, but there’s plenty of other bad actors out there who might be tempted to move because they can see no one is in charge.

  4. But it’s pretty terrible for the US.

    Niketas Choniates:

    That’s why I said “Pray ’em, if you got ’em,” in a different topic.

    I’m a pretty nervous, myself.

  5. Don’t worry General “White Rage” Miley trained his back up before he left (be very worried).

  6. Every time Hezbollah honchos are Gettin’ Together, those darned Israelis are crashing the party. Must be rather discouraging for Hezbollah to have all their parties being crashed. 🙂

    Interesting CNN article about Nasrallah allegedly wanting a ceasefire.
    Hezbollah leader agreed to temporary ceasefire days before assassination, says Lebanese foreign minister.

    Lebanon’s Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour that Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah had agreed to a 21-day ceasefire just days before he was assassinated by Israel.

    The temporary ceasefire was called for by US President Joe Biden, his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron and other allies during last week’s UN General Assembly.
    “He [Nasrallah] agreed, he agreed,” Habib told Christiane Amanpour in an interview aired on Wednesday.

    “We agreed completely. Lebanon agreed to a ceasefire but consulting with Hezbollah. The [Lebanese House] Speaker Mr. Nabih Berri consulted with Hezbollah and we informed the Americans and the French what happened. And they told us that Mr. [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu also agreed on the statement that was issued by both presidents [Biden and Macron.]”

    But what does the Biden administration- certainly no lackey of Netanyahu- say about this alleged agreed ceasefire?

    However, an official from the Biden administration told CNN that Nasrallah himself agreeing to the deal is “not something we have heard before. If true, [it] was never communicated to us.”

    State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller did not rule out that it had happened, but also said the US was not aware.
    “I can’t speak to whether he ever agreed to it and told somebody inside Lebanon. Obviously, that could be something that happened that we wouldn’t be aware of. I can tell you that, if that’s true, it was never communicated to us in any way shape or form,” Miller told CNN at a press briefing Thursday.

    “We were having a number of diplomatic engagements to talk about the proposals that we were going to put forward. I think all of the parties were well aware of the proposals that we were going to put forward, but at no time in those conversations did we get a message that Hezbollah had agreed or was going to agree to it,” Miller said.

    Hezbollah never officially announced their position publicly. It appeared Hezbollah was waiting to see what Israel would do once the US, France and the other allies put out the statement on Wednesday night announcing the ceasefire.

    It would appear that the Lebanese government, “consulting with Hezbollah,” didn’t bother to inform the US that Hezbollah was in favor of the ceasefire. That appears to be what Hezbollah wanted- to not publicly come out in favor. Why should Israel agree to a ceasefire without any evidence that Hezbollah also wanted one? Unfortunately for Hezbollah, their being coy didn’t work this time.

  7. I wonder how many other surprises Israel is going to pull out of their operations planning books going forward.
    It’s very clear they could have ended the attacks from Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran any time they chose in the last couple of years, or maybe even decades.

    They just chose not to, until now.

  8. The vacuum at the top of the Biden regime has been warned to be dangerous in various ways. Who knew Don Netanahu would use it to settle all family business?

  9. Thanks neo. It’s been too long since we had just a feel-good, heart-warming story around here. This one made me well up a bit.

  11. There’s a term of art for the tale that the Leb FM told Amanpour, but one jealously guarded by the State Dept spokesman, almost as if he doesn’t want this term of art used by mere non-diplomatic onlookers.

    Can anyone guess what it is?

    Yeah, it’s Bullshit.

  13. Nabih berri is still around that bastard bedeviled us in the 80s

    I think you mixed it up with those fiendish mossad dolphin

  15. since avon is no longer a thing,

    now the bbc needs a visit from a school of landsharks,

    they aired the ayatollah’s speech on the anniversary of october 7th without commentary,

  16. Sdferr

    Every big shot not at that meeting should be considered a Mossad asset. Hope the real ones are on their way out of town.
    The rest…enjoy the interview.

  17. sometimes you are lucky like the kingpin in present danger, or real life example Saddam who was near an impact site,

  18. “Lebanon’s Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour that Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah had agreed to a 21-day ceasefire just days before he was assassinated by Israel.”

    Not to disparage your point, but…who cares?

    Had Nasrallah agreed to an unconditional surrender? If not, it’s irrelevant.

    Israel should settle for no less than an unconditional surrender.

    They were attacked. They are fighting back and winning decisively. Why settle for less? To give their enemies time to regroup and rearm? That would be quite stupid at this point. You can call Netanyahu a lot of things, but stupid isn’t one of them.

  19. Um, and one should believe “Lebanon”’s foreign minister just why, exactly?

  20. well we know not to, hes nominally an independent, but he knows he’s the poodle of person TBA, since they keep dropping like morque attendants at the opening of quincy, of course they regard Bibi who is the hero in precisely the opposite way,

    there is a certain dark humour that ‘serious’ publications don’t indulge in, they can’t really show satisfaction at accountability being meted out to Iranian proxies, we saw how the BBC treated Khamenei’s address like that of a legitimate statesman, and not a robed malefactor,
