Israel Responds With Massive Overnight Strikes as Hezbollah Escalates Drone, Missile Attacks
The IDF also hits Iran’s IRGC Air Force headquarters in Beirut.
Israel launched waves of overnight airstrikes on Hezbollah targets after the Iranian-backed terrorist group fired hundreds of drones and rockets at towns and cities in northern Israel, declaring war on the “enemies of Islam.”
On Wednesday evening, the Lebanon-based Shia-jihadist group announced the launch of Operation “Eaten Straw,” invoking Quranic verses referring to the supposed destruction of a Christian-Ethiopian army at the hands of Arabs in the sixth century.

Hezbollah, in coordination with Iran, launched the most massive missile barrage on Israel since the war began twelve days ago. “For the second time overnight, sirens sounded across northern and central Israel amid coordinated rocket and missile fire from Lebanon and Iran. Alerts were also triggered in the Eilat area,” Israel’s Ynetnews reported Wednesday night. “Sirens warning of incoming missiles and drones sounded across northern Israel earlier overnight as Hezbollah launched repeated barrages toward the Galilee and Haifa area, before expanding its fire toward central Israel, including the Sharon region and Gush Dan.”
With Hezbollah trying to overwhelm Israeli air defense systems, Iran fired at the Holy City of Jerusalem. “At the same time, Iran launched missiles toward the Jerusalem area, marking a further escalation as Israel reported it had begun a broad wave of strikes against Iranian regime targets in Tehran,” the news outlet added.

The Israeli Air Force responded to the Hezbollah aggression with overnight strikes on the terrorist group’s leadership and command centers located in the Dahieh district of southern Beirut.
“The IDF is operating with determination against the Hezbollah terrorist organization following its deliberate decision to attack Israel on behalf of the Iranian regime,” the military said in a brief statement on Wednesday night. “The IDF will not tolerate any harm to Israeli civilians and will forcibly respond against any threat posed to the State of Israel.”

Thursday morning, the IDF revealed the scale of the opening strike, saying that Hezbollah’s “10 headquarters in the Dahieh area,” within the first 30 minutes of the retaliatory operation.
“Over the past hours, the IDF has begun a wide-scale wave of strikes targeting terror infrastructure belonging to the Hezbollah terrorist organization across Lebanon,” the military disclosed.
Besides targeting Hezbollah’s command and control structure, IDF fighter jets struck active missile launchers aimed at Israel. “As part of the strikes, the IDF located and dismantled dozens of launchers which were ready to launch and neutralized dozens of Hezbollah operatives while they were preparing to launch toward the State of Israel,” the statement added. “Simultaneously, the IDF struck 10 terror structures in the Dahieh area within 30 minutes, including intelligence headquarters, a headquarters of the Radwan unit, and additional command centers.”
The Israeli fighter jet also struck the Air Force headquarters of Iran’s Islamic Guard (IRGC) in Beirut. The IDF confirmed hitting around 70 terror targets, “including terrorist infrastructure, weapons storage facilities, central headquarters, key terrorists, and an IRGC Air Force HQ in Beirut.”

same way they beat us on 9 11
low level attacks. 1970s style hi jk of planes
now they are doing it with drones
again,,,,,,, build a fighter jet a carrier etc but get those drones produced NOW..yesterday
defeat these blmplo kamikazis or we will lose more cities to the mamamadames
ok so which is it??
we are not trying to win the war
or
we are trying to win the war but dont want to offend the left and say we won it
or are trying to win the war and have pride that we stopped a worldwide ongoing communistnazi threat that has the backing of the UN/UK/france turkey etc
whats wrong with admitting this is about winning and a regime change
hit ler was a regime change
are we still so fn afraid of blmplo in this country that we have to continue to speak their language so that when we win..we dont!?!!?!?!?
yes I think that is it
Because regime changes have not only bogged the US down for many years but at a great loss of life and money
Best not to proclaim that
Let Israel and the Kurds put boots on the ground, not the US
Regardless of the way Brazil may or may not turn out
I think we should have taken control of the strait the same time we took out the Supreme leader
Take over the strait – an interesting concept that has some merit!
However, how to do that?
Sailing USN targets as escorts does not do that.
Destroying every vessel capable of launching drones, torpedoes, mines, underwater drones, etc and so forth might do it.
But vessels are easily concealed – and hear the cries of ‘you hit civilian vessels with no military value’ [see drug ‘fisherman’ claims].
Ideas? Anyone?
Well, it seems
Israel, masters at espionage, didn’t get the full lowdown on their capabilities in the area
If/when an Iranian missile lands close to or directly on the Al-Aqsa mosque, the Moslem world will erupt but I don’t think it will be the way the mullahs want. Of course they will blame Israel.
.
I’m sure that the Mossad has that on their list. Take over an Iranian drone site disable the warhead and have it crash close enough to make it look the mosque was targeted. I think that would definitely end the Iranian regime.
As well as the Iranians are doing presently, Mossad might not have to bother.
.
BREAKING: Iranian missile lands ‘a few hundred meters’ from Jerusalem’s Old City, Western Wall, Al-Aqsa Mosque and Church of the Holy Sepulchre,
Someone is reading our posts. lol
If I was Israel I’d program the iron drome to ignore drones and missiles targeting arab targets in the West Bank. Let them enjoy the fruits of their cousins efforts.
Not the offensive allusion to murdering Ethopian Christians. Just FYI, in case it wasn’t obvious enough, these people don’t just hate Jews.
It’s nauseating, witnessing totally emasculated, feckless, gullible, cowed, stupid, dhimmified and meek western, so-called “global powers,” such as Australia, Canada, the U.K., France and others, passively sit by while goose-stepping, genocidal, Jew-hating and Christian-hating Islamofascists/Muslim terrorists threaten their countries, their citizens and the world, with only the U.S. and Israel possessing the gumption and resolve to stand up to and neutralize the threat.
they will only step up on 2 conditions:
they believe that the jewish community will behave in a violent manner if they dont get their way allah blmplo tactics
or
djt stops funding them in some manner
The US military is cracking down on catching two mysterious thieves who stole four drones from a secret Army base amid fears of an Iranian drone attack on US soil.
Army investigators are offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of two masked men who stole the drones from Fort Campbell in November. The drones were stored in a secretive engineer battalion building on the base.
