Chaos and pandemonium reigns in Lebanon and Beirut as several Hezbollah officials and fighters, some say more than 2 500, have been injured or killed in a stunning, state-of-the-art attack by Israel. Some claim that the Mossad might have been responsible for multiple pagers exploding simultaneously in the hands and pockets of the Lebanese terrorists.
What can be described as a stroke of absolute genius, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF)/Mossad has somehow infiltrated the paging devices, which were apparently sent by Iran for Hezbollah to use as a safer means of communication, using thee devices as a form of self-exploding weapons in the hands of the original aggressors. How brilliant!
As injured Lebanese terrorists run through the streets, screaming in agony, ambulance sirens ringing all over and hospitals filling with casualties, the IDF had certainly struck a huge blow to its enemies. Not only is this a huge intelligence breach for Iran’s proxies, but it also serves as an indication of who the terrorists are, as one by one they fall to their knees and are taken to hospital. Some would argue that many of the Hezbollah fighters had lost crucial fingers or body parts as the exploding pagers wreaked havoc and sent them into panic. On top of this, it is also a huge embarrassment for Iran and its terror army.
If ever there was a good time for Israel to cease control of its enemy, it would be now. With so many Hezbollah terrorists injured and distressed, Israel could possibly take advantage of the situation and continue sending a strong message to its aggressors to stop the daily rocket fires into northern Israel immediately and back off. The events are a clear indication that Israel’s intelligence capabilities should never be underestimated.
With the Biden/Harris administration continuously tieing Israel’s hands, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s brave army should advance further into Lebanon to finish its enemies, before they can regroup and launch a severe retaliatory attack on the Jewish nation. Hezbollah does not distinguish between soldiers and civilians; it simply kill what’s in front of it. It is a brutal network of killing machines, with zero conscience or respect for human life.
We can be sure that Iran will respond, we are just not sure how or when. This was a massive blow for Hezbollah and its fighters must be scared and angry. If even its so-called safe communication devices cannot even guarantee that the IDF won't track it, how on earth will its members proceed to speak to one another, with this constant fear hanging over them.
The war has turned into an ugly event indeed. The world holds its breath.
Hezbollah should surrender or at least stop the daily shelling of Israel. Thousands of Jews are stranded in other parts of Israel and have not been able to return home in months. This is wrong. And it is all because of October 7, 2023, and the continuous attacks by Iran’s ring of fire on the Jewish nation.
In Biblical terms, Israel is the apple of God’s eye. Judging by the killings of Fuad Shukr and other Iranian operatives, and the several stockpiles off rockets having been destroyed by the IDF via aerial assaults on Lebanese and Iranian soil, how much more embarrassment and failure can Iran endure? We will have to wait and see.
God bless Israel – fighter of the Free World.
