Hezbollah and the Hamas Movement launched more attacks against Israel from southern Lebanon on October 19, in a sign that the front will remain open as long as the war in the Gaza Strip is ongoing.
In two separate statements, Hezbollah said that its fighters fired anti-tank guided missiles (ATGM) at the Israeli Al-Manara site and targeted the sites of Jal al-Alam, al-Bahri, Zarit, Shumira barracks and a watchtower in Habd al-Bustan with direct fire. All these positions are located within the occupied Lebanese Shebaa Farms.
The group’s Military Media also released video footage from an attack that targeted the Jal al-Alam site, which serves as a signal intelligence and electronic warfare base for the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), the previous day. Most of the site’s equipment was destroyed in the attack.
Separately, the Hamas Movement announced that its fighters fired a salvo of 30 rockets from southern Lebanon at Israeli settlements in the Western Galilee, including Nahariya and Shlomi. The IDF Iron Dome air defense system intercepted at least one rocket. An impact was reported in the settlement of Kiryat Shmona, wounding three Israelis.

The IDF said that it had responded to the attacks from southern Lebanon with artillery fire, without providing any further details.
Hezbollah and its allies, including Hamas Movement and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, have fired dozens of rockets and ATGMs from southern Lebanon over the past week. Clashes on the front broke out just a day after the October 7 surprise attack from the Gaza Strip.
The IDF tost five soldiers and an Israeli civilian was killed in recent attacks on the Lebanon Front. Heavy material losses were also reported.
According to the Lebanese Al-Mayadeen TV, at least ten Merkava main battle tanks were destroyed or damaged by Hezbollah in recent attacks. The tanks, most of which were of the more advanced Mark IV version and equipped with Trophy active protection systems, were all targeted with Russian-made Kornet anti-tank guided missiles.
Clashes on the Lebanon front will likely heat up in coming days, especially if the IDF launches its planned invasion into Gaza. The United States, United Kingdom and several European countries have already called on their citizens to leave Lebanon. This might be a sign that Israel is planning to step up attacks on the country.

interesting to see how red hot bellicose iran’s lines in the sand were, and how israel has crossed each one, the last one being a pending incursion into the gaza strip. how does the muslim world save face? the whole muslim world is too divided and compromised for a meaningful war effort. imo they will be doomed after this war. they will lose face (if they had any left)
obviously iran dous not want a wider war in the middle east. and it is not in their interest. its israel who wants escalation so that they can annex land for their greater israel project. their ideal is to drive the gaza palestinians into egypt en terrorize and starve them until they achieve this as their greatest ally and goyim lacky aliyev has done exactly that to the armenians of artsakh with israels weapons and intelligence.
the israelis saw that they can do this without russian and iranian intervention now they think they can do it to gaza and later the west bank. then syria ,the sinai southern lebanon and iraq everything between the nile and the euphrates has to be ethnically cleansed so israelis can settle the land. kurdistan will be created as a buffer state to protect their north and eastern flank.
greater azerbaijan will be their ally annexing armenia and the syunik province it will serve for israel as a silk road corridor allowing them to play off west and east and reap the riches from indian and chinse trade. turkey will be divided loosing all kurdish provinces and will loose antakya to israeli colonizers. this is their goal and the yinon plan is already partly implemented in syria and iraq to some extend.
it sounds like they got a little carried away playing conquest the table top game. the greater israel project died in syria and ukraine. while they were still able to ethnically cleanse hundreds of thousands, they did not achieve their geopolitical aims. now the empire is in decadence with waning influence on the sunni emirates including their long time ally house of saud
they won’t succeed. scott ritter had an interesting take on israel on redacted.
yes, listened to it myself and have to give a hats off to ritter. also, the youtube channel “historylegends” had a great analysis the other day mirroring and going into more detail than what ritter said.
what is the “muslim world”? millions of people divided and ruled by degenerate us satraps, living in poverty. iran has existed under us sanctions ever since the cia pulled the plug on the shah and set up the theocracy to murder the secular nationalists, a playbook they have used everywhere they have influence over the muslim elites, beginning in indonesia. should iran directly confront the us in a conventional war? please.
i am not disagreeing. but the last time the playbook was in syria, the most secular country in the middle east prior to the regime change games in 2010 — and russia and iran put a stop to it. that is the inflection point. now the us has lost influence even over its long time saudi ally. things change.
empires come and go
usa sanctions no longer matter. an entitled sulky child punishing and ostracising itself.
“….muslim world is too divided and compromised for a meaningful war effort…” . that changed when iran and saudi arabia re-established diplomatic ties. the shia / sunni divide that usa + uk exploited for decades was brought to an end. full cohesion will take time but the ‘too divided’ is over. another sign is jordan and egypt refusal to bow to usa /israel threats to take in the gaza people. big change considering they are usa financially supported vassals.
you are delusional like the rest of the “leaders” of the anglozionazi empire of excrement. brace for incoming and stay in yer bunker, schlomo.
feel sorry for us taxpayers.
yes we have alot of people who are homeless and living in poverty in our own country yet we give billions of tax dollars to a state who has attacked our us liberty ship in the past and who has assassinated president kennedy because he was about to investigate the israeli nuclear program.
911 was an inside job the mossad agents on the spot danced and cheered. as israelis are doing now as hospitals are bombed in gaza killing many infants.
and still our people want to to believe israel is our greatest ally.
isn’t about time that you figured out that in a mass society of 360 million, ruled by a tiny plutocratic elite, there is no “our people”?
all those events required significant complicity from us actors. the us state apparatus was in bed with organized crime, and thus with the jewish supremacist state, long before kennedy was killed. the liberty was set up by elements in the us command structure, and the 9/11 theatrics and ensuing fairy tale could not have occurred with out us state actors at many levels.
wonder where oryx jew boy is who loves to count armor losses? he hasn’t posted a single damanged/destroyed israeli tank, mrap or helicopters since the war began. maybe because it hurts his little jewish feelings
hamás predsa deklaroval, že nepotrebuje pomoc hizballáhu. tak neviem. že by tu niekto chcel zatiahnuť, ďalšieho významného hráča na bv do konfliktu?
glória poder e vitória ao hezbollah, invencível!
