Israel Bombs 'Hizbullah Target' on Lebanon-Syria Border, Observatory Says Missile Base Hit
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Israeli warplanes waged strikes on Monday evening near the Lebanese-Syrian border which reportedly hit a "Hizbullah target" suspected of being a "missile base."
"Two Israeli raids hit a Hizbullah target on the border of Lebanon and Syria," a Lebanese security source told Agence France Presse.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the target was a Hizbullah "missile base that is taking part in the military operations in the Syrian Qalamoun area near the border with Lebanon.
In remarks to the Associated Press, a military spokesman said the Lebanese Army had no indication of any airstrikes in the area but was investigating the reports.
Residents of al-Nabi Sheet, on the Lebanese side of the border, told AFP they saw flare bombs light up the sky ahead of the raids, which shook their houses.
Residents in neighboring areas said they heard planes flying low before the raids.
Al-Nabi Sheet is a bastion of Hizbullah and the group has a suspected weapons store and training camp there.
Quoting unnamed sources, Al-Arabiya TV said “Hizbullah members were killed in the Israeli raids in the Bekaa.”
The pan-Arab, Saudi-owned TV network said the airstrikes targeted the outskirts of the town of Brital and “Hizbullah positions in Brital, al-Nabi Sheet and Ali al-Nahri.”
Citing reports, Al-Arabiya said the Israeli raids hit two Hizbullah trucks that were headed for Syria.
And quoting other unconfirmed reports, Al-Arabiya said Hizbullah was seeking to transport “ballistic missiles” from Syria into Lebanon when the airstrikes occurred.
Earlier on Monday, MTV said "Israeli airstrikes targeted the areas of Brital, Hawrtaala, al-Nabi Sheet, al-Khodr and Ali al-Nahri" in the Bekaa.
MTV, however, said later that the strikes hit targets inside Syria.
OTV said Israeli raids struck Janta, al-Nabi Sheet and an area near Brital.
Earlier, Al-Arabiya quoted witnesses as saying that "more than two Israeli airstrikes have targeted Hizbullah posts in the outskirts of the towns of Janta, Brital and al-Nabi Sheet."
For its part, Lebanon's state-run National News Agency reported two Israeli airstrikes on "the outskirts of al-Nabi Sheet near the Lebanese-Syrian border."
LBCI television, however, said the Israeli warplanes struck targets inside Syria "in the countryside facing the towns of Janta and Yahfoufa."
And Hizbullah's al-Manar TV said "security sources have not confirmed that any Israeli airstrike has taken place inside Lebanese territory in the Eastern Mountain Range."

For goodness sake why oh why? I honestly hope this is not a prelude to another war with Israel. The country would not survive such a thing with everything else that is happening. Let's hope Hezbollah does not retaliate and things go out of control.
May God protect our beloved Lebanon

hizbullah cannot afford to enter into another war with israel. In 2006 though it lost militarily after it resisted very well against israel, it achieved a political victory in lebanon that allowed it to gain more and more power at the expense of the state institutions. Today the situation is different. It is stretched militarily on the different syrian battlefronts, and does no longer enjoy the political support apart from its base.

If there was to be a new war between the Resistance and Israel, I can tell you, the israelis will be witness to something that they never thought could happen.
25 February 2014, 06:59

'israelis will be witness to something that they never thought could happen"… what are they going to witness Mystic? Is one of the Iranian militia thugs going to actually put a foot across the Israeli line? Now that would truly be a Devine Victory!

Israelis and Takfiris, working together against Hezbollah & LAF. Not a convenience, that the Israelis attack just after the Hermel bombing. They know that the Army & Resistance are standing together now, a war far worse than the 2006 july battle is approaching.
25 February 2014, 04:37

What will they witness the israeli? The surrender of hassouna?

The Israelis, thinks this will stop the flow of arms to the Resistance.
They can think again, Tel Aviv will soon be rained with fire from the skies.

It is obvious that the Israelis & Wahabis are working together against Syria and Lebanon, if Israel works with Hezbollah as some of you ignorants in here says to cover yourselves. I will ask you this, how come Israel never fired a single missile against your beloved Al Qaeda and Al Nusra front?
I can tell you why, because it is the Resistance whom are their real enemy, and the Resistance are the only ones the Israelis fears.

Actually it's a kind of "menage à trois", while Sunnis will use Israel against Shias and Shias use Israel against Sunni. The real war which is lasting 1400 years is the one between Sunnis and Shias.
25 February 2014, 15:07

this is what israelis and takfiris want people to believe. the truth is that the real fight is from all the people of the region, whether sunni, shia, druze, maronite, orthtodox, catholic, and even the indigenous jews against the invaders and occupiers: zionists.

Ur spiritual father Assad in 3 years, killed more syrians, sunnis, palestinians, muslims that israel since '48.
Nobody cheering Israel, even if we have the reasons to do so...

you bum. it's your saudi freaks with their suicide bombers and their mercenaries and their weapons flooding from jordan lebanon and turkey who are killing syrians, sunnis, palestinians, muslims
25 February 2014, 00:53

of course, saudis are barrel bombing aleppo, besieging for 2+ years homs and starving palestinians in yarmuk camp.
Movatin go back to ur kennel, ya farsi dog.

"Nobody cheering Israel, even if we have the reasons to do so"
that's the kind of hypocrite statement we've gotten used to, from the israeli propagandists on this page.
they try to appear politically correct "nobody cheering israel", but they imply we should be cheering it "we have the reasons to do so".
but as the wimps they are, when they're not running out of the south crying, they are behind their keyboards pretending to be tough boys with their insults.
you know why your insults never bothered me? because i know you can do it here, and only here. so i feel pity for you.

There is absolutely no reason for the Zionist Regime to interfere with internal issues and conflicts in Lebanon and Syria... I understand there are Lebanese casualties, which is unacceptable! How can everyone be so blind and do not see the big picture here. The entire conflict has been orchestrated by foreigners and Arabs are killing each others in 1000s!! My prediction is that the conflict will continue until early 2017 with no winners

Really there is so much beauty about the middle east its a shame you have no knowledge of what the arabs brought to the western world.

Two possible reasons for the air raids:
1- Destroy any sophisticated weapons that got transfered from Syria to HA
2- Weaken HA in the Kalamoun battle to keep the battle raging for a very long time.

Anyone wanting to destroy Iranian arsenal, and nuclear weapons should be rewarded. it's our duty to destroy them. When Iran will nuke Israel, the radiations won't stop at the borders, they'll annihilate Lebanon as well. But of course, they couldn't care less, they won't be harmed...
25 February 2014, 01:24

there are no nukes and we wont need nukes to wipe you out, trust me, as soon as it hits the fan, israelis will be running off faster than they came.
plus nukes would kill all Palestinians, destroy all sacred places, and make Palestine inhabitable.
25 February 2014, 13:44
101
And you think that Israel won't nuke Tehran and other strategic sites in Iran.
Don't forget, Israel (and let us assume that Iran has) the capability of shooting down missiles on their way.
So what happens,:
1. They fall over Saudi Arabia, Iran and Jordan, spreading their nuclear fallout over these three countries killing who knows how many thousands (millions) of fellow moslems.
2. Even assuming that the missiles hit Israel, how many thousands of Israeli and Palestinian Moslems and Christians (forget the Jews) get
killed. (Taking a comment from another article, what will happen to Islams third holiest site in Jerusalem?
3. The nuclear cloud would cover areas within Lebanon and Egypt killing who knows how many people there.
Is this what the Arab world and Iran really want?
25 February 2014, 17:58

Do you think khomeinist really cares about Arab and Sunnis in Israel/Palestine? They are already ready to slaughter millions of Iranians and sacrifice millions of Shias...

Alternatively you could all just fucking declare stop killing and hating each other. If you spent just half the amount of mental energy, resources and time that you spend on hating and mistrusting each you would have a region and an economy that rivalled the most luxurious happiest regions on this planet. Instead you bicker and hate and you carry on like WWE wrestlers wasting your lives away. Your enemies, like the enemies in every country, if anyone, are your rulers and ultra rich who manipulate you from recognising that they take more than their fair share. Your allies are the eroding middle class in every country including the middle class of Iran as well as Israel, Saudi Arabia as well as Sweden… it's all the same.

u're right, in geoplitics it's called objective allies.
Like Israel and Iran/HA/Assad, coz they share a common main enemy.

These are the direct consequences of the Obama Administration's "lead from behind" strategy. Arguably, the relationship between the Emirates and the U.S. had historically been "Oil for Security". Now, the U.S. leading from behind, coupled with the recent engagement with the Iranians re. their nuclear ambition and other European Nations not eager to get involved, the Gulf Countries have been uncertain and uneasy about their own security and survival which brings them closer to Israel to re-balance the power. Hopefully, this new arena puts pressure on Israel to realize that their survival depends on engaging the regional problems and eventually force them to bring a resolution re. the Palestinians.

I cant but be amazed at the level of secretarian hatred being displayed here. Have we really reached the level where Lebanese cheer another country for killing Lebanese? Its not the fault of brave young men being misled by their leaders is it guys? And do you really think this will change anything? Cedre the other day you posted a video about al assir that was edited for maximum effect and I concluded that you support him in operations against the army. Really cedre? You played this terrorist out to be a victim? Shame on you guys really, breeding hate and violence, cheering when lebanese get killed, SHAME on all of you.

Roar, I do agree with your argument here, but you see, you keep focusing only on one side of the coin, and that my brother will take a lot of credibility off from your reasoning. This Dabke business you mentioned, they the M8 side did it many times too, whenever an M14 personality was assassinated, they cheered, fired into the air, danced, jubilated, distributed sweets in the streets, and even some of M8's top peers spoke wryly and bombastically about the slain victims. Please bro, this is NOT a one way street as you want us to believe, either you accept oncoming traffic, or much of the readership will keep taking your views with a pinch of salt. Sorry younger bro.
25 February 2014, 13:55

No Roar, the only one twisting what people write is you bro. Feel free to continue to refuse facts, seeing is believing, and we saw what you still refuse to accept. But as I said, till you calm down brother, right now things will not go further with you. God bless you ya man.

"whenever an M14 personality was assassinated, they cheered, fired into the air, danced, jubilated, distributed sweets in the streets, and even some of M8's top peers spoke wryly and bombastically about the slain victims"
this is not true phoenix. it was said by m14 propagandists that m8 supporters did that, to incite haterd, but nowhere will you find those pretended sweets or cheering. they are pure fabrication.
to the contrary, this is how dahiyeh reacted to the tripoli bombing for instance:

yes its sad when any Lebanese is bombed and killed. Everyone is busy blaming the other. In this example march 8 need to stop playing victim and realize their actions in Syria and disregarding the other half of Lebanese will fuel more hatred from their own. Your involvement in Syria is nothing to do with Lebanon and instead fuelling more extremism and hatred toward you...

(1) For a very long time now, I've been talking of unity between us all Lebanese. For a long time now I've been warning about the disastrous consequences of our divisions, of our ineptitude to work for national solutions. This latest of Israeli raids on what is perceived to be a Hezbollah base is a stark reminder that now we Lebanese are well out of any comfort zone we once had. Now, we have Hezbollah deeply involved in the Syrian war, the Takfiris are replicating with terrorist attacks of their own on Lebanese land, latest of which now is the LAF. Now the scope has widened with Israel resuming its attacks on us. Our new government is still divided over its statement, the presidential elections are just over the horizon, our economy is in tatters, mass migration has quadrupled, ....
25 February 2014, 13:46

"Now the scope has widened with Israel resuming its attacks on us."
I very much doubt that Israel has widened the scope to attack Lebanese civilians, but rather HA.
25 February 2014, 13:57

Oh Phil, rest assured that Israel legitimizes whatever it deems is a target, the scope of problems has now been inexorably widened and that's for sure.
25 February 2014, 11:54

(2). The influx of Syrian and Palestinian refugees is now staggering, all of which are not fully under our control, the Palestinians in Lebanon are a fast ticking time bomb, and look at what we're doing with each other, instead of rallying with each other, we are as usual slinging mud at each other. Lebanon will go and for good, because those who are taking refuge in our land are simply waiting for the odds to be in their favor. We now all must sit together, talk, talk and talk till we remove all those obstinate obstacles that pester us. Hezbollah now must leave Syria, then we must work hand in hand to make HA return its weapons within a reasonable period of time making our army a formidable one. maybe many still don't know that only our unity will save us from total obliteration, if only we know how to count to ten without losing our minds. May God have mercy on us all.
