Attack in Lebanon Continues: 

Around 60 buildings, 15 cars, dozens of motorcycles, and hundreds of mobile devices were affected, according to Lebanese sources.

Hezbollah's walkie-talkies, which exploded across Lebanon today, were reportedly purchased by the group about five months ago, similar to the pagers that exploded a day earlier, according to a security source cited by Reuters. The latest blasts have left dozens of people injured.

Israel won't let them die in peace!

What Experts Make of Israel’s ‘Ingenious’ Hezbollah Pager Attack

 

Israel’s astonishing attack on Hezbollah in Lebanon on Tuesday culminated in the explosion of thousands of Hezbollah terrorists’ pagers. It left at least nine dead and 2,800 injured, according to the latest reports.

But it left many wondering why it wasn’t followed by a larger offensive incursion into Lebanon, from which Hezbollah has for the past 11 months launched near-daily rocket and drone attacks that have driven tens of thousands of Israeli civilians from their homes in northern Israel. For months, Israelis have been bracing for a second-front war against Hezbollah, the Washington Free Beacon‘s Andrew Tobin reported in March, and Tuesday’s events raise obvious questions about what Israeli officials intended to communicate about their intentions.

 

We asked some of the smartest foreign policy experts we know what they made of the situation. Here’s what they said.

• Elliott Abrams, senior fellow, Council on Foreign Relations, former U.S. Envoy to Iran: “Israel has been re-establishing deterrence since it was badly undermined last Oct. 7. Like the recent assassinations in Lebanon and Iran, and Israel’s attack on some Iranian air defense sites in April, this attack is meant to remind Hezbollah of Israel’s technical sophistication and its willpower. Israel is trying to make it clear to Hezbollah and Iran that it does not fear escalation. Hezbollah will respond, but this attack will make them realize they are more vulnerable than they think.”
• Jonathan Schanzer, senior vice president for research, Foundation for Defense of Democracies: “It was obviously a major feat to pull off this technology. The Mossad was able to manipulate the Hezbollah supply chain when they purchased these pagers. This was what I consider to be a zero-days exploit—use it or lose it. And now there are thousands of injured Hezbollahis. The question now is whether this leads to escalation. The northern border has been on a knife’s edge for eleven months since Oct. 8, when Hezbollah began shooting rockets, missiles, and drones at Israel. Does this bring us closer to war? Nobody knows.”
• Gabriel Noronha, fellow, Jewish Institute for the National Security of America, former State Department official: “Hezbollah’s security vulnerabilities run deep. This latest incident demonstrates the extent to which Israel has penetrated their networks. The psychological damage will be just as immense as the physical damage to Hezbollah operatives.”
• Joe Truzman, research analyst, Foundation for Defense of Democracies: “It’s certainly possible the attack on Hezbollah can escalate into a full-blown war. Israel demonstrated that it could have attacked Hezbollah further by targeting strategic sites following the mass confusion created by the pager blasts. However, it chose not to. It’s in Israel’s interest not to initiate a full-blown war, and I think Hezbollah is avoiding such an escalation as well. If Hezbollah responds, I don’t think it will be a knee-jerk reaction, and it will try to limit the response so that it won’t trigger an escalation of the ongoing conflict. However, mistakes often happen in conflict. It’s a slippery slope for both actors.”
• David Schenker, former State Department assistant secretary for Near Eastern affairs: “This appears to be a well-conceived interdiction of supply chains that was done not only conceptually well, but executed with great competence. Israel did the operational preparation, laid the groundwork, and when you have these things in place, if you don’t use it, you might lose it. This is another in the growing list of Hezbollah’s humiliations. Hezbollah is asking itself today whether it wants this war. All they have to do is fire a missile into Tel Aviv and we’re there. Israel itself is demonstrating that it is willing to climb the escalatory ladder.”

Israel has a long history of using explosive phones and other devices to kill terrorists, according to Ronen Bergman’s Rise and Kill First: The Secret History of Israel’s Targeted Assassinations. In 2001, Israel blew up a pay phone used regularly by Iyad Haradan, an Islamic Jihad commander. In a 1996 operation, the Mossad planted an explosive cell phone on Yahua Ayyah, Hamas’s top bomb maker at the time. As far back as 1972, Israel planted a bomb in a telephone used by Mahmoud Hamshari, a terror leader who was assassinated in Paris.

'Harshest blow to the Islamic resistance': Lebanese media shocked at blow to Hezbollah

 

Reflecting on the pager attack that reportedly killed around nine and wounded thousands of Hezbollah operatives in Lebanon, the Hezbollah-affiliated Lebanese newspaper Al-Akhbar exposed the extent of the damage in its editorial, calling it one of the most severe blows dealt to the terror organization since it began launching attacks on Israel last October.

“In just one minute, the enemy managed to deliver the harshest blow to Islamic resistance since the onset of the conflict,” the article stated, adding it was “an exceptional security operation in terms of the ability to reach targets and means, and in demonstrating elements of Israeli technological and intelligence superiority."

The article detailed the damage, stating the operation “led to the injury of more than three thousand resistance fighters and civilians from Hezbollah units, who were crowded in hospitals in the south, the Bekaa, Beirut, and the suburbs.”

Hezbollah’s worst nightmare: Chaos in its ranks

 

Hezbollah is known as a disciplined group. Highly trained, the group invests heavily in its recruits. It is not known to waste them as cannon fodder. It views itself as an elite organization, and within its own structure, there are centers of terrorist excellence, such as the Radwan force.

Hezbollah has achieved this through decades of fine-tuning its capabilities. It has built itself up slowly, first in the 1980s and then in the last two decades as it came to dominate Lebanon. Now, the group faces its worst nightmare: Chaos.

Hezbollah is facing chaos because a large number of its alleged members were wounded on September 17 by exploding communications devices. The full details of this incident are not yet known, and they will only be known over time. However, video and images from Lebanon show men, many of them in their forties, wounded in the hands and faces by exploding communications devices.

The devices are alleged to be pagers. The video shows at least one man pulling his pager from his pocket, only to have it explode in his hand. Gruesome videos, apparently from hospitals in Lebanon, show a large number of men missing parts of their hands or wounded in the legs, stomach, or face.

Hamas Leader Says Biden Will Let Group Stay in Power: ‘They’re Practically Recognizing Hamas’

 Khaled Meshal, one of Hamas’s most senior leaders, expressed confidence that President Joe Biden will allow the Palestinian terror group to remain in control of Gaza.

In an interview with the New York Times published on Tuesday, Meshal noted that Biden has stopped echoing Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s commitment to Hamas’s eradication and has pushed indirect negotiations with Hamas for a permanent ceasefire in the Gaza war.

“The Israeli-American vision wasn’t talking about the day after the war, but the day after Hamas,” Meshal said, referring to the initial U.S. position.

Now, he said, the Biden administration is saying, “We’re waiting for Hamas’s response.”

“They’re practically recognizing Hamas,” he added.

Meshal, speaking from Doha, Qatar, where he is based, also expressed confidence in the interview that Hamas is winning the war against Israel.

“Hamas has the upper hand,” he said, echoing similar comments by another senior Hamas official to AFP on Sunday. “It has remained steadfast” and brought the Israeli military to “a state of attrition.”

The Israeli military says it has killed over 17,000 Hamas terrorists in Gaza during the war, more than half of the estimated total number. Netanyahu said earlier this year in a podcast interview that “total victory” over the group will likely take years.

Israeli defense minister Yoav Gallant said last week that Hamas “as a military formation no longer exists.” He separately told Israeli troops to prepare for a ground invasion of Lebanon amid escalating conflict with Hezbollah, a Hamas ally and fellow Iran-backed terror group in the country.

Kalman Leib Lustig of Beit Shemesh is the rapist that was Arrested in Miron

Police disclose name of the pedophile from Beit Shemesh  

The investigation shows: this is how Lustig raped a guy, 7 months after he was investigated for assaulting a minor* 📢

 Remember the dramatic arrest in Miron, and the clashes that broke out in the cave? So today the name of the pedophile was disclosed: 

Kalman Leib Lustig, 24 years old from Beit Shemesh.

He was investigated for sexual offenses and rape. The testimonies of the complainants in the case were revealed after Lustig was indicted this week. 

The investigation showed  that there is an additional case against him from about 7 months prior on suspicion of committing sexual offenses against a minor.

The affair was revealed after boys complained that Lustig had committed sexual offenses, and raped one of them in a spring after the Yurzeit of the Holy Ari,  making acquaintances with them through a telephone dating line. Lustig denied the suspicions against him during the investigation.

"He asked to meet them at the spring at three in the morning. Not far away," one of the 14-year-old boys repeated, "he told us to undress. At one point he grabbed my friend and I yelled at him: 'What are you doing to him? Leave him alone. . . .

The boys' testimony also shows that Lustig slapped them because he couldn't reach a climax, he asked them to come with him to the cave on Keren Hayesod Street in Safed. He asked the two to sexually undress one of the other boys until he finally climaxed.
