Maybe this is why Bibi is invading Lebanon -
he has to stop the source of rockets as Israel is running out of Iron Dome missiles?

Can Iron Dome stand up to Hizballah's arsenal? with Ali Abunimah

At 2000 rockets a year and a 100k a piece and in some cases requiring two of them the israelis will be running low by now which explains the ground invasion and them desperate to drag the US into it by egging on Iran. Won't happen though. Iran just has to sit back and eat popcorn and watch their stockpile of rockets being launched at israel from a remote location !!

That's right sir Nail.

Jovial Monk,

QUESTION;
Why is it, ....that you do NOT directly identify that group ?

ISLAM - IS THE CULT WHICH ENCOURAGES,

Hezbollah’s Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah

Quote:

".....On the one hand, Israeli culture values life in all its aspects, including the sanctity of the life of others. Their soldiers take risks to spare civilians on the other side, unprecedented in the history of warfare. Aware of Israeli inhibitions, Jihadi groups use their own people as human shields in fighting the Israelis.
Over the last few years, these Jihadi groups have developed a full-blown death cult in which they raise their children to want to die killing others."

Quote:

"We have discovered how to hit the Jews where they are the most vulnerable. The Jews love life, so that is what we shall take away from them. We are going to win, because they love life and we love death."

THE DEATH CLAUSE IN THE CONTRACT, OF ALLEGIANCE TO ALLAH's RELIGION...

"Say: "...If ye think that ye are friends to Allah, to the exclusion of (other) men, then express your desire for Death, if ye are truthful!" "
Koran 62.06

Koran 62.06 is admonishing the believer, that his only true love, in this life [if he is a true moslem], is to die, fighting in Allah's cause. !!!

as per........
"O ye who believe! what is the matter with you, that, when ye are asked to go forth in the cause of Allah, ye cling heavily to the earth? Do ye prefer the life of this world to the Hereafter? But little is the comfort of this life, as compared with the Hereafter.
Unless ye go forth, He will punish you with a grievous penalty, and put others in your place; but Him ye would not harm in the least. For Allah hath power over all things."

Hezbollah Reaches Out To U.S. For Advice On How To Govern With A Dead Leader

BERUIT — Following the death of their leader Hassan Nasrallah, members of the militant group Hezbollah asked the U.S. for advice on how to govern with a dead leader.
"It's a unique problem," Senior Whitehouse staffer George Corinado commented. "We've been managing for almost four years now but it does come with some specific problems. These guys are resourceful though, they'll figure it out."

As of publishing time, Hezbollah announced they would be asking the U.S. to send over Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib to replace Nasrallah due to her extensive experience running Hezbollah in America.

The Israeli military estimated that Iran fired 180 “projectiles,”

but stressed that it was not the final count. CNN teams saw dozens of missiles over the cities of Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Haifa. CNN’s Jim Sciutto said he saw multiple missiles intercepted. Meanwhile, Jordan’s military said in a statement that “hundreds of Iranian missiles were launched toward Israel,” citing a military source in its armed forces general command. Some Iranian missiles made direct impact in central and southern Israel, an Israeli military spokesperson said.

No injuries reported as people bunkered: Sirens blared in Israel as people were told to bunker as the missiles came down, including the Israeli security cabinet, according to an Israeli source. There were no injuries following Iran’s attack, Israel Defense Forces spokesperson Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said.

The damage is being covered up:

https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/iran-claims-90-of-its-missiles-hit-...

Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard says 90 percent of the missiles
it launched against Israel hit their targets successfully.

The statement broadcast on state TV claims the attack targeted air and radar bases as well as security apparatus that planned the killing of senior Hamas and Hezbollah figures.

It says Iran has a right to defend itself under international regulations. The TV station shows footage of missiles being launched in the darkness from unidentified locations in Iran.

Despite the hundreds of missiles, the only injuries in Israel were two people who were lightly wounded by shrapnel in Tel Aviv. A Palestinian man was killed by shrapnel near Jericho.

A number of impact sites have been identified across Israel, with images of missile fragments circulating on social media.
The exact locations of such impacts and damage are barred from publication by the IDF censor.

According to the Jerusalem Post Iran fired at Israel about 400 missiles.
Iran's sources claimed 500 with 80% got through.

Quote:

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claims that a military base and gas platforms in the Mediterranean were among the targets hit by Iranian missiles.

Some of the Iranian missiles hit the Netzarim region of the Gaza Strip, “hitting a large number” of Israeli tanks, the IRIB TV channel reports.

The Iranian agency Shafaqna claims that more than 20 Israeli 5th generation F-35 fighters were destroyed as a result of Iran’s missile attack

- sounds like bs.

The F-35s are stored underground in bunkers so that does sound like bullshit. Undecided

For internal consumption plus for others as attempt to save reputation after decimation of Hezbollah leadership.

Or it could be remnants of decoy missiles.
