On Friday, Hezbollah dropped all the pretenses and openly declared full responsibility for lobbing rockets at Israel. Everyone knows that the Shiite-head organization works as mercenaries for Iran’s Ayatollah. Imperial Leader Joe Biden has been hiding because people keep expecting him to do something and he has no idea what. His handlers haven’t decided what he should say yet.
Hezbollah out of the closet
By claiming responsibility for “firing a volley of rockets over Israel’s northern frontier on Friday,” Hezbollah threw gasoline on the already blazing fire inflaming regional tension. This latest barrage was “significantly larger than previous rocket launches from Lebanon in recent weeks.”
What made everyone nearly fall over was that this attack is “the first to be directly claimed” by the terrorist mercenaries “in many years.” They finally decided to come out of the closet. That means that Iran feels confidant that the balance of power tilts in their favor.
By Friday afternoon, “Israel’s political and security leaders were holding consultations about how to respond.” Israel and Iran have been staring at each other without blinking for weeks. Meanwhile, “both Hezbollah and the Israeli military indicated that neither desired any dramatic or imminent escalation and seemed to be trying to defuse the situation.”
That’s not easy. Israel’s military refuses to allow unhindered attacks along the border. Imagine what would happen if Mexican drug cartels started shelling El Paso.
If Hezbollah wants to play, the IDF is ready. “We do not wish to escalate to a full war, yet we are very prepared for that,” assures Lt. Col. Amnon Shefler. He’s not happy about the 19 rockets launched from Lebanon.
As usual, the terrorists blew up more of their own team than the other side. Three of the rockets came right back down on their heads in Lebanese territory. Ten were shot down by Israeli air defenses and the rest harmlessly blew craters in open desert.
Israel strikes back
While reporting no casualties or damage on their side, the IDF did strike back at “the rocket launch sites in Lebanon, in what appeared to be an initial, contained response.” Basically, they blasted the goat humpers off to paradise then went for a beer.
The Israeli military told civilians in the frontier region that life “could continue as normal.” All the tourist traps were open for business. Nobody seems afraid of Hezbollah and the expectation is “no further major action.” Right now, “many Israelis are vacationing in the north of the country.”
Over the past few weeks there have been the usual back and forth rocket attacks between Hezbollah and Israel. They’re currently fighting over a disputed area known as “Shebaa Farms.
The strip of land around Mount Dov has been claimed by “Israel, Lebanon and sometimes Syria near the intersection of all three nations, adjacent to the Golan Heights.” Apparently one of the terror group’s generals went rogue and exceeded his authority.
As explained by Colonel Shefler, for Hezbollah to claim responsibility like this means they’re trying to act like “the organization still has control over the border area in southern Lebanon and that the Israeli airstrikes would not go unanswered.”
The terror group had been effectively neutralized until Iran started giving them better rockets. Given “what he described as the advancement of Hezbollah’s Iran-backed program to develop precise missiles in Lebanon,” Zvika Haimovich, a retired Israeli general, informs, “we are close to a point where Israel will have to act.”
