A source close to Lebanon’s Hezbollah says the Israeli strike in Beirut’s Dahiyeh neighborhood killed Ibrahim Aqil, a senior commander in the terror group’s elite Radwan unit.

“The Israeli air strike killed Radwan Force commander Ibrahim Aqil, its armed force’s second-in-command after Fuad Shukr,” who was killed by an Israeli strike in July, also in Hezbollah’s southern Beirut stronghold, says the source who requested anonymity to discuss sensitive matters.

How the hell did Israel track down Ibrahim Aqil in a population in Beirut of over 2 million?

Hezbollah must have piss poor security.

At least eight people have died and 59 others have been injured and taken to the hospital, Lebanon’s health ministry said.

At least eight of the hospitalized are in critical condition, it said.

The strike flattened a multistory building in a residential neighborhood.

A CNN team at the scene saw a frantic mass effort to rescue people from underneath the rubble.

WASHINGTON -- The U.S. has kept an increased military presence in the Middle East throughout much of the past year, with about

spread across the region both to protect allies and to serve as a deterrent against attacks, several U.S. officials said.

As attacks between Israel and Hezbollah sharply spiked this week, worries are growing that the conflict could escalate into an all-out war, even as Tel Aviv keeps up its nearly yearlong fight against Hamas militants in Gaza.

Hezbollah says Israel crossed a “red line” with explosive attacks on its communications devices and vowed to keep up the missile strikes it’s launched since fellow Iranian-backed militant group Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7, setting off the war in Gaza.

Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant — who has spoken repeatedly this week to U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin — has declared the start of a “new phase” of the war, shifting its focus to the northern front against Hezbollah in Lebanon.

So far, the U.S. hasn't signaled a troop increase or change as a result of the latest attacks, and there is already a beefed-up force in the region.

“We’re confident in the ability that we have there right now to protect our forces and should we need to come to the defense of Israel as well," Pentagon spokeswoman Sabrina Singh said Thursday.

what a surprise

Spot

Israel is attempting to provoke a war.

The opposition forces are biding their time keeping the heat on Israel while waiting for the right moment to strike which will likely be after the US POTUS election in the lame-duck period of Joe Biden.

Israel is depleting their weapons, munitions, and missiles. Israel used ~20 missiles to stop the Houthi hypersonic missile and failed.

Israel has a shortage of military equipment in terms of tanks and transporters from the losses during the Gaza genocide.

There is a build-up of Houthi and Iraqi resistance fighters in Syria which will likely enter the West Bank in support of a Palestinian uprising.

Meanwhile, the Israeli Jewish population is stressed and tired from the constant tension and threat of war.

What is going on in Pakistan with their nuke missiles?
Allah's missiles.

We know that in Oct 1962 Russian commanders had the option of loading co-ordinates
for the nuke missiles in Cuba and firing them independently of the Kremlin's orders.
That is done in a time of war in case contact is lost with the chief of the nuclear forces.
An EMP strike above an area can take out all communications so that
is a necessary feature to have.
Does Pakistan do that too? -
perhaps their nuke missiles can only be programmed for Indian targets?

My bet is that Israel and the US are very worried about it -
they must watch Pakistan closely with satellites and they most likely always
have an Aegis equipped ship stationed in the Persian Gulf to try and shoot down
any nuke missiles in space from Pakistan,  heading Israel's way.

But still - I searched using Google and nothing about it is mentioned.
It's almost as if there's a permanent secret war going on that we're not told about.
