On September 23, the Israeli military launched waves of heavy strikes in southern Lebanon. According to the Acting Minister of Health of Lebanon, the death toll has increased to 274 people killed as a result of strikes carried out by the Israeli Air Force on settlements in southern Lebanon.
The victims include 21 children and 39 women. Several ambulance personnel were also killed, their cars came under strikes. About 1,000 people were wounded. The death toll does not stop rising. According to the head of the Ministry of Health, the Lebanese are suffering such losses for the first time since the end of the 1975-1990 civil war.
Israeli warplanes launched the most massive bombing in 11 months of hostilities. According to preliminary reports, the Israeli Air Force launched more than 550 strikes on targets in southern Lebanon in the last hours.
The Israeli military announced the defeat of three hundred Hezbollah infrastructure facilities in Lebanon. The targets reportedly included rocket launchers, armament depots and buildings used by militants.
The head of the press service of the Israeli Defense Ministry called on the Lebanese to leave their homes in the south of the country. According to him, the militants are storing weapons and shelling Israeli territory from residential areas. The footage shows secondary detonation as a result of the strikes on warehouses:
Hezbollah responded by launching dozens of rockets and kamikaze UAVs on the Israeli territory. According to preliminary reports, at least five Israelis were wounded.

Israel is opening the second front. The ongoing hostilities escalated after a series of terrorist attacks in Lebanon. As a result of the explosions of pagers and other equipment, several thousand people were killed and wounded. Hezbollah blamed Israel for the attacks. Israel also launched an airstrike on the Lebanese capital, Beirut, which led, according to the Jewish State, to the death of 16 high—ranking members of Hezbollah. Hezbollah has promised that Israel will pay for the attacks.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu seeks to stay in power by waging a small victorious war. Israeli media called the actions of Israeli troops against Hezbollah the beginning of the Third Lebanese War, but without a ground invasion of Lebanon. However, the Israeli Defense Ministry declared its readiness to cross the border. The IDF Northern Command has approved the final plan of the operation, while it is not reported whether this will be an offensive deep into Lebanon or only in the border areas.
Massive air strikes often signal the upcoming ground offensive. Israel may indeed launch new ground operation in an attempt to fight on two fronts. However, the IDF’s insufficient numbers will not allow it to occupy Lebanon or even take and keep control of significant territories. Moreover, the ground offensive on the well-fortified Lebanese border will lead to inevitable Israeli losses. The ground operation may rather be an attempt to disorganize Hezbollah and limit its ability to conduct offensive military operations.
Most likely, the escalation will gain momentum in the near future. The anniversary of October 7th is approaching. Almost a year ago, after the Hamas attack on Israel, the bombing of the Gaza Strip began. The IDF has not yet completed its operation against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. The total number of victims in the Palestinian enclave has already exceeded 41 thousand people.

meanwhile west is silent protecting democracy.
western colonialists are the same s_h_i_t as the zionist criminals…same murderers, same racist s_c_u_m
of course. zionism is fascism.
meet the new fascism same as the old. that is also why it’s called the judeo-masonic rule. it’s satanism. and its practitioners are both kabbalist/jewish and wasp.
you mean they’re same shithole and cumhole?
news came out now that us are sending more troops to the middle east to protect “democracy”. we all have forgotten that us sold weapons to israel in august for billion of dollars, democratic weapons…
they didn’t sell them anything, they gave it to them completely free.
actually there is a lot of taxpayer grift. they do buy a lot of defense arms using american tax payer dollars gifted to them. they also make campaign donations, foundation donations, and lobbying donations using american tax payers dollars. the american lobbying system is incredible: it’s essentially a legalized form of corruption. the israel lobby is especially vile considering they are using american tax payer dollars to pay us politicians…
sold ? you mean gave.
admiral fisher in ww1 said that moderation in war is an imbecility. you can’t pull punches dealing with rabid psychos. time to target zio civilians, blood for blood.
time for the final showdown with those zionist criminals, and for iran to put it’s money where it’s mouth is we are still waiting for retaliation for the killing of iranians and hamas in beirut.
hezbollah should start bombing the israhelli citizen like the satanyahoo terrorist regime is doing thats the only way to destroy the zio regime
us air force is involved they are giving logistic support and also us airforce is bombing lebnon. israeli dont have capabilities to strike 600 target in a day.
key point: hezbollah’s/nazrullah’s/iran’s strategy of gradualist escalation has clearly failed. unlike hamas but like iran, hezbollah is in denial that this really is an existential war – the complete defeat of one side, complete victory for the other. again we see no sign that hezbollah is attacking the most important targets, namely zionist air bases.
first the war of annihilation in gaza now the terror bombing of lebanon. right out the wehrmacht play book.
can only hope russia has some iskander(s) at the ready for delivery to iran and syria…
i know for tochkas. iskanders to come also, s 125 and s 200 are in lebanon, and hezbollah knows how to operate them.
those would have to be smuggled past kiketin and chabad.
doesn’t have to be secondary explosions, it may well be, as we’ve seen in first video white phosphorus, and in last video cluster munition dropped.
i’m fed up with these hooked-nose savages. time to warm up the ovens.
kill as many jews as possible.
especially target their greasy little brats
dead jews are great, but dead jew brats are a thing of beauty.
and a thing of beauty is a joy forever…lol
ok, ok, that’s enough. back into the basement you go crazy-uncle willie…
saw your mom last night
she really craves it in her ass
lol
