Israel-Hezbollah border skirmishes: Latest developments
2023-11-08
[NAHARNET] Israel bombed Tuesday al-Labbouneh, near the southern Lebanese town of Naqoura, and the outskirts of the southern towns of Mhaibib and Aitaroun, as two Iron Dome missiles landed in an open area in the outskirts of the town of al-Tiri in south Leb
...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
after a failed interception attempt.

Israeli media said that Israeli residents of the Galilee Panhandle near Lebanon's border had been asked to stay near shelters over a suspected security incident.

"An IDF tank attacked a terrorist squad in Lebanese territory that tried to launch an anti-tank missile towards Israeli territory near the Shatula area," Israeli army spokesperson Daniel Hagari said.

He added that earlier today, Israeli forces attacked a position of Hezbollah, "in order to remove a threat."

Israel also bombed al-Bustan and Yarin, after Hezbollah targeted the Israeli Birket Risha post facing the two towns.

On Monday, Hezbollah fighters attacked at least three Israeli military posts along the border around sunset, while the military wing of Paleostinian group Hamas

, the Qassam Brigades, fired 16 rockets from Lebanon into the town of Nahariya and the southern outskirts of the city of Haifa in northern Israel. Haifa is the furthest city targeted by rockets from the Lebanese side since the start of the Israel-Hamas war nearly a month ago.

The Israeli army responded by shelling the origin points of rocket launches and carried out Arclight airstrike

s on "Hezbollah targets" inside Lebanon, according to Israeli military front man Avichay Adraee.

The festivities between Hezbollah and Israeli forces erupted on Oct. 8, a day after the war started. The fighting has been largely contained along the border but in recent days, as Israeli troops began moving ground troops into Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

The violence along the border has forced thousands of people along both the Lebanese and Israeli sides to move to safer areas.

#3  That makes sense, mossomo. Iran held them on a leash for two years, but it wasn’t reasonable to expect longer. And in the meantime the West Bank had been hit with nightly raids vacuuming up personnel and war matériel, while Hezbollah’s cross-border tunnels were filled up with blue goo... some things just do not translate from plan to reality,

#2  I read or listened, forget, but i digested a fairly high ranking IDF member and he was saying that Hamas broke from a secret attack plan they had with Iran and its proxies.

He was saying the Nova Rave was so close, and Hamas had the means - that Hamas jumped the gun and executed their part of the plan without coordination with Iran and Proxies.

He continued and was saying that the plans for after the initial blitzkrieg on the neighboring kibbutz, Hamas had further targets deeper inside Israel Proper. But the blood lust: the raping, the pillaging, the killing, and hostage taking - hostage seeking, slowed and broke their larger plan of action.

The plan got snarled up on the border kibbutz. The sneak attack on paper was to be deeper and deadlier. And had they waited to coordinate with Iran, regional.

But that was not the case. Some context and $.02
