Israel bombs car killing 2 Hezbollah members as clashes continue

W460

Two Hezbollah members were killed Saturday in an Israeli drone strike on their car in the southern town of al-Bazouriyeh near Tyre, some 20 kilometers from the nearest point of the border with Israel.

An Israeli drone also targeted a house in Marwahin, which has been repeatedly bombed since the eruption of the fighting, as Israeli warplanes carried out two strikes on Adaisseh.

Israeli artillery shelling meanwhile targeted the outskirts of Alma al-Shaab and al-Dhayra as well as the Marjeyoun plain and the al-Hamames hill.

Hezbollah for its part announced fresh attacks on Israeli forces at the Hounine, al-Dhayra and Zar'it Israeli posts.

The violence has killed around 197 people in Lebanon, including at least 144 Hezbollah fighters. On the Israeli side, 15 people have been killed, of whom nine were soldiers and six civilians, according to the Israeli army.

They’re extremely well informed , they have deeply infiltrated Hezbollah up to the top.

It would be good news if we yet learn that it was the Lebanese Army, stationed at the checkpoint Fadel Shaar passed, who confirmed the occupant of the car for targeting. It would be a sure sign that the Republic of Lebanon has the ability to govern and defend itself.

Chemotherapy to Lebanon’s cancer

Alas more senseless death. They are being picked off like fish in a barrel. To say that Hezbollah and it's community has been infiltrated is a gross understatement. But have no fear folks, hassin is on the case. He's even given his elite unites a new name; "The Disposables". Catchy eh? It's been reported that hassin's named them after the Persian empire's elite troops. Yes, yes, you and I know those were called "The Immortals", but don't tell hassin this. His error describes Hezbollah's elites better than what he intended to name them.

To me, it seems like while Hezbollah and their Iranian masters har prioritized larger and larget quantities of rockets, the Isarelis have chosen to raise the standard of the gathering of intelligence. The precision, the amount and the quality of their targets says it all really.

These precise hits cannot be achieved without intelligence on the ground. Hassan Nasrallah is probably very worried right now.
My suggestion is for him to flee the country in order to save Lebanon the pains of a full out war which results could be foreseen based on what has happened in Gaza.
