PRAYER FOR THE IDF TROOPS ON THE FRONT LINES AS THE GROUND ASSAULT INTO LEBANON BEGINS



מִי שֶׁבֵּרַךְ אֲבוֹתֵינוּ אַבְרָהָם יִצְחָק וְיַעֲקֹב הוּא יְבָרֵךְ אֶת חַיָּלֵי צְבָא הֲגַנָּה לְיִשְׂרָאֵל, הָעוֹמְדִים עַל מִשְׁמַר אַרְצֵנוּ וְעָרֵי אֱלהֵינוּ מִגְּבוּל הַלְּבָנוֹן וְעַד מִדְבַּר מִצְרַיִם וּמִן הַיָּם הַגָּדוֹל עַד לְבוֹא הָעֲרָבָה בַּיַּבָּשָׁה בָּאֲוִיר וּבַיָּם.

יִתֵּן ה' אֶת אוֹיְבֵינוּ הַקָּמִים עָלֵינוּ נִגָּפִים לִפְנֵיהֶם. הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא יִשְׁמֹר וְיַצִּיל אֶת חַיָלֵינוּ מִכָּל צָרָה וְצוּקָה וּמִכָּל נֶגַע וּמַחְלָה וְיִשְׁלַח בְּרָכָה וְהַצְלָחָה בְּכָל מַעֲשֵׂה יְדֵיהֶם. יַדְבֵּר שׂוֹנְאֵינוּ תַּחְתֵּיהֶם וִיעַטְרֵם בְּכֶתֶר יְשׁוּעָה וּבְעֲטֶרֶת נִצָּחוֹן. וִיקֻיַּם בָּהֶם הַכָּתוּב: כִּי ה' אֱלֹהֵיכֶם הַהֹלֵךְ עִמָּכֶם לְהִלָּחֵם לָכֶם עִם איבֵיכֶם לְהוֹשִׁיעַ אֶתְכֶם: וְנאמַר אָמֵן

May He who blessed our forefathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, bless the soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces, who stand guard over our land and the cities of our God, from the border of Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea to the approach of the Aravah, on land, in the air, and at sea.

May the Lord cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them. May the Holy One, blessed be He, protect and deliver our soldiers from every trouble and distress and from every plague and illness, and may He send blessing and success in all the work of their hands. May He subdue our enemies beneath them and crown them with salvation and victory. And may it be fulfilled for them the verse: "For it is the Lord your God who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you." And let us say, Amen.

Biden admin preps post-election revenge on Israel

 

By Daniel Greenfield, Frontpage Magazine

Whoever wins on Election Day it won’t be Joe Biden who will head off to join Jimmy Carter in senile infamy or his top administration members who won’t be likely to stay on no matter which way the election turns out.

And the administration is taking it in the noble spirit for which it’s known for, that is to say it’s going to follow in the footsteps of the Obama administration  and avenge the outcome on the Jews.

Joe Biden claims that his real priority is a moonshot cure, but it seems like the admin’s real priority is to attack Israel.

The nearly three-month period from the November 5 presidential election to the January 20 inauguration will come with additional “political flexibility,” which will allow space for more confrontational policies vis-a-vis the Israeli government, said the current US official.

The list of steps US President Joe Biden could take would be longer if Vice President Kamala Harris wins the election since she is less likely to reverse them, a former senior US official explained.

The official added that Harris would also be shielded from any political backlash of such moves due to them being seen as part of her predecessor’s legacy.

The former senior US official acknowledged that certain steps would be less likely taken if former president Donald Trump wins the election because he would be able to roll them back upon returning to office.

The wish list includes sanctioning members of the Israeli government, sanctioning even more Jewish groups, and cracking down on Jewish products coming out of territory claimed by Islamic terrorists.

Also, there are plans for more limitations on weapons and this genius scheme to reopen a terror consulate in Jerusalem.

The former senior US official said the White House could dangle one last visit from Biden to Israel to participate in the corner-stone laying ceremony for the yet-to-be-built US embassy compound in exchange for Jerusalem lifting its opposition to reopening the consulate.

I understand the admin blaming Israel for everything because they’re radicals and terror simps, I’m baffled as to why they would think that the Israeli government (or any government on earth) is desperate for a Biden visit, let alone willing to sell out their national capital to have Biden come in to help the terrorists.

Unless I’m completely misreading this and sending Biden to Jerusalem is meant to be some kind of a threat.

But joking aside, this is a part of why Israel has stepped up its campaign. It knows that it has until Election Day to make a substantive impact before the full rage of the sore losers in the D.C. regime can be unleashed without worrying that a crackdown on Israel will make a few thousand Jewish voters in Pennsylvania realize that this administration hates Israel far more than it does any of the Islamic terrorists it’s fighting against.

Israel begins ground invasion of Lebanon to take out Hezbollah outposts

 


“These operations were approved and carried out in accordance with the decision of the political echelon,” the IDF added.

Just before the operation began, the Lebanese army withdrew, according to reports — leaving the already-battered Hezbollah alone to face the Israel Defense Forces. 

Israel said the primary goal of its operations against Hezbollah is to halt the daily rocket and missile attacks on towns and villages in the north of the Jewish state — and allow tens of thousands of displaced residents to return home.

The US was allegedly made aware of the plan just hours before it began, with President Joe Biden telling reporters Monday afternoon that he was opposed to further escalation in the region.

“I’m more aware than you might know,” Biden said of the looming incursion, “and I’m comfortable with them stopping. We should have a cease-fire now.”

US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said the US is being briefed on the incursion as it advises Israel to avoid “miscalculations” and “unintended consequences.”

“They have at this time, told us that those are limited operations focused on Hezbollah infrastructure near the border, but we’re in continuous conversations about it,” he said of the evolving situation.

But after Israeli troops rolled into Lebanon, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said he spoke to Israeli Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant and told him he supported the Jewish state’s right to protect itself. 

“I made it clear that the United States supports Israel’s right to defend itself,” Austin said in a statement. “We agreed on the necessity of dismantling attack infrastructure along the border to ensure that Lebanese Hizballah cannot conduct October 7-style attacks on Israel’s northern communities.”

Biden and Miller’s concerns were echoed by several foreign ministers in the European Union, who backed the American president’s call for a cease-fire through diplomacy.

Israel, however, has maintained that a policy of “de-escalation through escalation” is the only way to end Hezbollah’s daily attacks on northern Israel.

Hezbollah and Israel have exchanged fire on a near daily basis for almost a year — displacing tens of thousands of both Israeli and Lebanese people who live on either side of the border since the Israel-Hamas war began. 

Hezbollah has pledged to continue its rocket attacks on Israel until there is a cease-fire in the war that has decimated Gaza.

Around 10 projectiles were fired from Lebanon into northern Israel Tuesday soon after the IDF launched its ground offensive. Some were intercepted by the IDF while others fell into “open areas,” the Israeli military said. 

No direct combat between IDF troops on the ground in Lebanon and Hezbollah fighters has been reported as of early Tuesday.

However, explosions from Israeli strikes lit up southern Lebanon. An overcrowded Palestinian refugee camp near Sidon was struck by one of the strikes, according to Lebanese media. The strike reportedly targeted Mounir Maqdah, commander of the Lebanese branch of the Palestinian Fatah movement’s military wing, Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade. 

Soon after the IDF announced its ground operations in Lebanon, additional airstrikes were reported in Syria in its capital city of Damascus, where a Syrian news anchor, Safaa Ahmed, was allegedly killed by an Israeli strike, state media there said.  

Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said Israel’s latest operation was part of a new phase to end the ongoing conflict with Hezbollah.

“It will be a significant factor in changing the security situation and will allow us to complete the important part of the war’s goals, returning the residents to their homes,” Gallant said in a statement.

The ground invasion follows weeks of significant Israeli hits on Hezbollah — including an airstrike that killed the group’s longtime leader Hassan Nasrallah and a complex exploding pager operative that took out Hezbollah’s internal communication system. Israel has not taken responsibility for the pager attack, but is widely believed to be behind it. 

IDF Urges Public to Refrain from Sharing Information on Troop Movements Amid Ground Offensive

 

IDF Spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari has urged Israeli citizens to avoid sharing details about military movements, as the ground operation into southern Lebanon continues!

In a post shared on X, Hagari addressed the rising number of  reports regarding Israeli military activities near the Lebanese border. He stressed the importance of keeping sensitive information private to ensure the safety of the forces involved.

“We ask that the public refrains from circulating reports about IDF operations and adheres strictly to official updates,” Hagari stated, warning against the spread of unverified rumors.

New York Times Mocked for claiming terror boss was 'gifted orator'

 

The New York Times has been slammed for publishing an article claiming Hezbollah terror boss Hassan Nasrallah was a 'gifted orator' who wanted 'equality' for all religions. The article, titled 'Protesters Mourn Nasrallah's Death Around the World', was uploaded onto the website on Saturday and quickly began receiving a flurry of backlash, criticism, and mockery across social media.

The short article piled praise onto the Hezbollah terror boss, who the NYT claimed was a 'powerful orator' who was 'beloved among many Shiite Muslims', in part for providing 'social services' in Lebanon. It also stated Nasrallah 'maintained that there should be one Palestine with equality for Muslims, Jews, and Christians'.

But the terror leader notoriously believed in the destruction of the Jewish state and his Iran-backed militant organization carried out several deadly attacks on Jews around the world. Although he often claimed to be anti-Zionist and not anti-Semitic, Nasrallah was quoted in a Times article from May last year chillingly saying: 'If Jews all gather in Israel, it will save us the trouble of going after them worldwide'.

Nasrallah, 64, was killed in a major aerial bombardment by Israeli forces in Beirut on Friday - in an incident that came as a huge, almost unthinkable shock across the globe. 'The Times readership is now down to liberal elites, politicians, Communists and Islamists,' one X user wrote in response to a post highlighting portions of the article viewed nearly 250,000 times. 'This is so embarrassing. How does anyone take the NYT seriously anymore?' another user asked.

Confirming Nasrallah's death on Saturday, Hezbollah pledged to keep up its fight against Israel. They said: 'The leadership of Hezbollah pledges... to continue its jihad in confronting the enemy, supporting Gaza and Palestine, and defending Lebanon and its steadfast and honorable people.'

More than 20 Hezbollah members were also killed alongside their boss Nasrallah in Friday's airstrike, Israel said. Among those 'eliminated' include the head of Nasrallah's security unit, Ibrahim Hussein Jazini, and Samir Tawfiq Dib, who the IDF described as 'Nasrallah's long-time confidant and adviser'. 'Due to their proximity to him, they served a significant role in the day-to-day operations of Hezbollah and Nasrallah in particular,' the IDF said.

White House national security spokesman John Kirby (pictured) said Israel's airstrikes had 'wiped out' Hezbollah's command structure, but he warned the group will work quickly to rebuild it. 'I think people are safer without him walking around,' Kirby said of Nasrallah during an appearance on CNN today. 'But they will try to recover. We're watching to see what they do to try to fill this leadership vacuum. It's going to be tough. Much of their command structure has now been wiped out.'

Biden Approves Soros' Takeover of 200 Radio Stations

 


The Biden administration is fast-tracking approval for the transfer of more than 200 radio-station licenses from bankrupt broadcaster Audacy Inc. to a nonprofit controlled by George Soros’s progressive philanthropy empire, raising the ire of Republicans who say the Federal Communications Commission is breaking with established procedure to push the deal through.

The FCC voted 3-2 earlier this month to allow a restructured Audacy Inc., now controlled by the Soros-funded nonprofit Fund for Policy Reform, to maintain over 200 broadcast licenses as it emerges from bankruptcy proceedings. On Monday, the commission released the text of its decision, which has drawn considerable scrutiny from Republican opponents concerned about the involvement of George Soros and his son Alexander.

“In this decision, we approve the assignment of licenses held by Audacy, which has been under the control of a bankruptcy court, to the new Audacy, so that the company can emerge from bankruptcy proceedings,” said FCC chair Jessica Rosenworcel, a Democrat whom President Barack Obama first nominated to the commission. She argued that the process used to approve the Audacy restructuring is the same as recent transactions involving radio networks such as Cumulus Media and iHeart.

“To suggest otherwise is cynical and wrong, as this precedent clearly demonstrates. Our practice here and in these prior cases is designed to facilitate the prompt and orderly emergence from bankruptcy of a company that is a licensee under the Communications Act,” she added.

Republican FCC commissioner Brendan Carr issued a dissenting statement accusing the commission of expediting the licensing in an “unprecedented” fashion instead of following federal law.

“The Commission’s decision today is unprecedented. Never before has the Commission voted to approve the transfer of a broadcast license—let alone the transfer of broadcast licenses for over 200 radio stations across more than 40 markets—without following the requirements and procedures codified in federal law,” Carr said

“Not once. And yet the Commission breaks this new ground today without seeking public comment on altering our established regulations, without actually changing the rules on the books, and without seeking the feedback of other federal agencies with relevant equities.”

A Trump appointee to the commission, Carr routinely criticizes the agency’s direction and testified about the Biden administration’s policy record at a House Oversight Committee hearing earlier this month. During the hearing, Carr voiced similar concerns about the FCC’s review process for the Audacy licenses, especially given foreign ownership concerns. His comments were featured in a letter House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer (R., Ky.) and Representative Nick Langworthy (R., N.Y.) wrote to Rosenworcel last week demanding documents and communications related to the Audacy radio licenses.

Hungarian-born billionaire philanthropist George Soros and his son Alexander are among the top donors to left-wing activist organizations and Democratic Party candidates. George Soros was the leading Democratic donor last election cycle and has bankrolled soft-on-crime prosecutors in cities across America, many of whom have later faced political blowback. His son is now overseeing the Open Society Foundations, the multi-billion dollar philanthropic enterprise that controls much of Soros’s political giving.

Laurel Tree Opportunities Corporation, an LLC controlled by FPR Capital Holdings LLC, a Delaware-based corporation, will hold a controlling stake in the new Audacy, according to the FCC decision. FPR Capital Holdings is managed by the Fund for Policy Reform, a Soros-funded non-profit trust tied to Soros’s the Open Society network that contributes hundreds of millions of dollars to left-wing causes. Alexander Soros is a board member of the Fund for Policy Reform trust.

FPR also holds a stake in the Latino Media Network, LLC, a left-wing company that acquired 18 Hispanic radio stations and raised $80 million upon its launch.

Ahmadinejad: 'Head of anti-Mossad unit - was a Mossad agent'

 

In an interview with the Turkish CNN network on Monday, former President of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, claimed that a unit had been set up to fight against Mossad agents inside Iran – but the head of the unit was a Mossad agent himself.

He also claimed that in addition to the head of the unit, twenty Israeli Mossad agents were working with him and were responsible for directing significant intelligence operations inside Iran.

Among others, according to Ahmadinejad, the same Mossad agents stole documents about the Iranian nuclear program and killed several Iranian nuclear scientists.

He also claimed that all the agents managed to flee Iran before being caught and that they now live in Israel.

Ahmadinejad made this claim today for the first time, but as of now, no confirmation or, alternatively, a denial has been published by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

In recent years, Ahmadinejad has been far from the helm of power and has tried several times to run again for the position of president of Iran, but was disqualified.

The last time he ran an election campaign was after the death of President Ebrahim Raisi in a plane crash.

Lakewood Roshei Yeshiva Totally Disconnect from Klall Yisrael with Their Fake "Atzeres" Against Their Brothers and Sisters Living in Israel

 

Where are the parents of these naive clueless idiots?

Over a half million Jewish residents, Old, Young, Toddlers, and the Sick, of the North in Israel are running to shelters every couple of minutes. Some of them have gotten heart attacks because of the shock! One child was recently killed running to a shelter! 

You would think that Gedoilim from Lakewood would have a bit of sympathy and empathy for the majority of the Jewish people that live in Israel! Think again! 

First of all they keep repeating the lie:
  " The entire purpose of the medinah in Eretz Yisroel is to “oiker zein Torah, to uproot Torah.” 

This is a "bilbul" and pure unadulterated Loshon Hara by leaders of Klall Yisrael, only days  from Yom Ha'Din!

Not one Yeshiva or Kollel closed because of the draft or impending draft! 
And the draft law is only for a small percentage of boys. 
It doesn't affect 100% of those attending Kollel, it only affects those from ages 18-21, after the age of 21 one is no longer subject to the IDF draft! 
The Attorney General did stop payments for daycare Kollel guys because they don't work, but this will be reversed in the next couple of months!
But to lie and say that the "medinah in Eretz Yisroel is to “oiker zein Torah, to uproot Torah.” is a bald-faced lie!

 In fact, the opposite is true, since the medina was established more Torah is being learned in Eretz Yisrael than in any other place on earth including Lakewood! More Torah is being learned in Eretz Yisrael since Matan Torah! 

And yes, its time for the Chareidim to share in the burden of the rest of Jewish residents of Israel. Why is it ok that Children of Chilonim should die to protect those who slam their gemarras shut during "bein hazmanim" why should those chilonim work and pay taxes to pay for those who refuse to work and support their families? 

And this not "working business" is now in its third generation; the grandfather, the father and now the son doesn't work ......it is not sustainable! This will collapse very soon! 

I live in Ramat Beit Shemesh, all shuls are packed with seniors learning practically 24/7! I came home from a wedding last Thursday night at 2:00am and walked into shul to retrieve something I forgot,.... there were 22 seniors learning and they told me that they did "Tikkun Chatzois" , of course, this is not every night, but you can always find a senior in shul learning no matter the time...Is their Torah worthless? 
Is only the Torah of 18-21 year olds, whose hormones are raging, important? Let us, seniors, learn and the 18 year-old serve in the Army! Yes!! Absolutely!
If the Gedoilim are worried with their spirituality and I admit that it is a legitimate concern, then insist on meetings with the IDF to find a way to accommodate frum boys! 

Shame on all those who attended shame on those who spoke! 
אוי לה לאותה בושה אוי לה לאותה כלימה
אוי לאותה החכמה ואוי לה לאותה התבונה
אוי לו לעולם שאבד מנהיגם


An atzeres tefillah was held today in Lakewood, NJ in light of the giyus situation in Eretz Yisroel.

Roshei yeshiva and rabbonim had issued a call for people to attend the rally today, held in the heart of Lakewood, due, according to a statement prior to the event, to the “impending implementation of new Israeli draft laws that threaten to force thousands of bnei Torah into the military, posing an unprecedented threat to limud haTorah in Eretz Yisroel – the very lifeblood of the Jewish nation.”

The four roshei yeshiva of Beth Medrash Govoah, Rav Malkiel Kotler, Rav Yeruchem Olshin, Rav Dovid Schustal and Rav Yisroel Neuman, had issued a kol korei stating that men, women and children should attend the atzeres tefillah today.

Rosh yeshiva of mesivtos across Lakewood were asked to attend the event along with the talmidim of their yeshivos.

The gathering was held in a parking lot at Clifton Avenue and Ninth Street across from Beth Medrash Govoha’s Bais Aron Bais Medrash.

Other roshei yeshiva in attendance included Rav Aharon Feldman, rosh yeshiva of Yeshivas Ner Yisroel in Baltimore, Rav Elya Ber Wachtfogel, rosh yeshiva of Yeshiva Gedolah Zichron Moshe of South Fallsburg, Rav Yitzchok Sorotzkin, rosh yeshiva of Mesivta of Lakewood, ad Rav Shlomo Feivel Schustal, rosh yeshiva of Yeshiva Tiferes Yerachmiel.

Various speeches were then delivered, describing the “gravity” of the new giyus law and “the threat it poses to the Olam HaTorah.” The speakers were call up by Rabbi Mordechai Levy.

The speakers stood on a platform erected in front of the crowd, with a large attached umbrella to protect them from the falling rain. The speakers were projected on a large screen for the crowd to see and hear.

The atzeres program began with Mincha at 1:30 p.m., led by Rav Leizer Ganz, who also recited Tehillim. Tehillim was then also recited by Rav Shmuel Choueka and Rav Michel Handelsman.

The first drasha was delivered by Rav Yisroel Neuman, rosh yeshiva of Beth Medrash Govoah, who also recited Tehillim.

Tehillim was then said by Rav Mordechai Betzalel Klein, the Skulener Rebbe of Lakewood, and Rav Shmuel Halberstadt.

Brief remarks were then delivered by Rav Shalom Ber Sorotzkin, rosh yeshiva of Yeshiva Ateres Shlomo, who recited Tehillim.

Rav Shalom Ber Sorotzkin Shlitah on his Smartphone!

Rav Malkiel Kotler, rosh yeshiva of Beth Medrash Govoah, then addressed the atzeres.

Rav Elya Ber Wachtfogel, rosh yeshiva of Yeshiva Gedolah Zichron Moshe of South Fallsburg, spoke next. In his remarks, he stated that the entire purpose of the medinah in Eretz Yisroel is to “oiker zein Torah, to uproot Torah.” He said that even for those who are not learning Torah, it is forbidden to join the Israeli army.

“[The draft law] is a gezeirah that we cannot compare to any of the gezerios that there have been until now,” he said.

Remarks were then delivered by Rav Yeruchem Olshin, rosh yeshiva of Beth Medrash Govoah, who then also led the crowd in reciting Selichos.

The Novominsker Rebbe led the recital of Shema Koleinu.

Rav Yitzchok Sorotzkin, rosh yeshiva of Mesivta of Lakewood, then delivered a drasha and led the crowd in reciting Kabbolas Ohl Malchus Shomayim. Rav Dovid Schustal, rosh yeshiva of Beth Medrash Govoah, then led the crowd in the remainder of Kabbolas Ohl Malchus Shomayim and recited Kaddish.

A second minyan for Mincha was then held, led by Rav Menachem Savitz, ending after 4 p.m.

Hezbollah appoints "Hashem" as Nasrallah's successor


Hezbollah's Shura Council has chosen Hashem Safieddine as the organization's new secretary-general, following the assassination of Hassan Nasrallah in an Israeli strike on Beirut’s Dahieh district on Friday, Saudi television channel Al Hadath reported Sunday.

 

Saudi News Reports that a Substance painted on Nasrallah's hand by an Iranian facilitated tracking him

A man, who originally came from Iran, shook the hand of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and managed to smear a substance on him that allowed Israel to track him, as reported on Sunday evening on the Saudi Al Hadath news channel.

Due to the fact that the body of the Hezbollah leader was exhumed intact, there are increasing estimates that Nasrallah died as a result of suffocation, in great agony, as reported on Sunday evening by Channel 12 News.

It was also reported that as he was in a place without ventilation the Air Force bombings resulted in gases entering the room, causing him to suffocate to death.

The IDF informed earlier that twenty 20 more terrorists were killed alongside Nasrallah in the attack on Hezbollah's central headquarters.

"In a precise attack by the Air Force and under the direction of the intelligence wing, fighter jets attacked and killed the leader of the Hezbollah terrorist organization Hassan Nasrallah, and the commander of the southern front Ali Karachi, one of the senior commanders who remained in the organization before the attack," it said.

"In a precise airstrike carried out by the Israeli Air Force, directed by the Intelligence Directorate, fighter jets struck and eliminated Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of the Hezbollah terrorist organization, and Ali Karaki, the Commander of Hezbollah's Southern Front, who was one of the remaining senior commanders in the organization before the strike.

More than 20 other terrorists of varying ranks, who were present at the underground headquarters in Beirut located beneath civilian buildings, and were managing Hezbollah’s terrorist operations against the State of Israel, were also eliminated.

Among the terrorists eliminated:

* Ibrahim Hussein Jazini - Head of Nasrallah's Security Unit.

* Samir Tawfiq Dib - Nasrallah's long-time confidant and advisor on terrorist activities.

* Abed al-Amir Muhammad Sablini - Head of Hezbollah's Force-Build Up.

* Ali Naaf Ayoub - responsible for coordinating Hezbollah's firepower.

 

NYT: Israel Sent Commandos Deep In Lebanon To Execute Intel Missions


 How has Israel pulled off such stunning and far-reaching operations in Lebanon in the past two days, culminating with the elimination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah on Friday?

The New York Times revealed details about Nasrallah’s elimination, saying that Israeli intelligence had successfully penetrated Hezbollah’s inner circle.

The paper notes that within a few weeks, Israel decimated the senior and mid-level ranks of Hezbollah, leaving the organization reeling.

This success, it stated, is a direct result of Israel’s decision to invest significant effort in intelligence on Hezbollah following the Second Lebanon War in 2006. The 34-day war ended with a ceasefire brokered by the UN, allowing Hezbollah, despite heavy losses, to regroup and prepare for the next conflict with Israel.

Israel has spent the years since 2006 bolstering its intelligence capabilities. Unit 8200, Israel’s signals intelligence agency, developed advanced cyber systems to better intercept Hezbollah’s cell phones and other communications, and formed new teams within combat units to ensure that valuable information was rapidly relayed to the Air Force and soldiers.

Israel also started deploying more drones and launched a highly advanced satellite over Lebanon to photograph Hezbollah strongholds and document even the smallest changes in structures that might, for instance, reveal a weapons cache—an effort that one former Israeli intelligence official described as ‘Sisyphean.’ In the last week, the Israeli Air Force struck many of these targets.

Additionally, Unit 8200 and its American counterpart, the National Security Agency, forged stronger ties, deepening the Israeli government’s understanding of mutual adversaries like Iran and Hezbollah.

Israel took advantage of its proximity to Lebanon to insert covert undercover commando forces deep into the country to execute sensitive intelligence missions.

Most significantly, former US and Israeli officials say that Israel’s daring to carry out audacious operations sets it apart from other intelligence agencies. [The report did not mention the fact that Israel has no choice but to be daring and audacious, standing alone in the world in the sheer number of vicious enemies it faces, surrounded by hostile Arab countries suffused with radical Islamic jihadism, and facing constant attacks even from its own Arab citizens.]

“They understand this has been and will be a protracted conflict,” said Chip Usher, a former top C.I.A. Middle East analyst who has worked extensively with Israeli intelligence. “They are putting in capabilities to serve their needs for the long term.”

“The secrets of their success come down to a couple of factors. They have a fairly defined target deck. That makes it easier for them to bring a tremendous amount of focus to what they do. They’re in a shadow war with Hezbollah and Iran.”

“And they’re extraordinarily patient,” he added.

Associated Press and Washington Post Mocked and Ridiculed For Making the Mass Murderer Nasrallah Look Great!

The AP was ridiculed on social media, including by Elon Musk, after publishing a disgraceful obituary about Hassan Nasrallah, depicting the murderous subhuman monster in an overly positive light.

The article initially had the headline “Charismatic and shrewd: A look at longtime Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.” This drew comparisons to The Washington Post’s description of al-Qaeda leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi as an “austere religious scholar” in 2019.

After backlash, the AP changed its headline to “Who is longtime Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah?” but doesn't mention his decades of terrorism.
