Arab World happy with the elimination of Nasrallah
Listen to this guy being interviewed explain why he didn't put on the resume that he went to Stanford University
Make sure you are not holding a cup of hot coffee while listening to this genius!
No Western nation has achieved anything 'remotely close' to what Israel has accomplished against Hezbollah in the last 2 weeks,
Colonel Richard Kemp, the former commander of the British military forces in Afghanistan, spoke to Israel National News - Arutz Sheva about the assassination of longtime Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah on Friday.
"Israel’s rapid attrition against Hezbollah in the last two weeks is unprecedented in any military campaign that I know of. Certainly, no other Western country has achieved anything even remotely close in any modern war," Col. Kemp said.
"The damage done to Hezbollah’s leadership by precision airstrikes as well as the pager attacks must be added to repeated strikes by the IDF since Hezbollah began its unprovoked war of aggression nearly a year ago. Key leaders have been progressively eliminated throughout that time as well as destruction of significant quantities of Hezbollah’s weapons capability.
Hezbollah still retains a large number of missiles and drones, as well as fighters to operate them and attempt to attack Israel on the ground. But any military or terrorist organization does depend heavily on a command structure and the elimination of so much of that will have seriously undermined the capability to launch large-scale coordinated attacks," he said.
Col. Kemp noted that "Nasrallah has probably already been replaced. But he has headed Hezbollah for over three decades and it will take his successor a long time to become anything like as effective — assuming even that he survived for very long himself.
Lower-level leaders can also be replaced but the collective knowledge and experience that has been lost so rapidly represents an immense blow to Hezbollah. This is especially true when we consider that terrorist groups in the Middle East operate on the basis of personal networks and personal connections with their sponsors — in this case Iran. There is also a psychological element for those who might be thinking of stepping up. They were stunned by the pagers episode and are reeling daily from what is befalling their bosses. How many will want to step up to the plate against the fear that they will be next."
When asked how close Hezbollah is to being permanently eliminated as a threat, Col. Kemp responded, "Israel has much more work to do before Hezbollah is effectively neutralized, and it is in the process of doing it. If they are able to maintain the current intensity of operations there is every prospect they will succeed. We shouldn’t forget also that Hezbollah is deeply unpopular among large sections of the population of Lebanon, including Christians and Sunni Muslims many of whom have been celebrating Nasrallah’s demise. It may be that some of them will take advantage of Hezbollah’s weakened state and take their own action against the group in parallel with what Israel is doing."
Addressing Iran's reaction to the damage Hezbollah has taken in the last two weeks, Col. Kemp stated, "Iran will also be shocked by what is happening to their number one terrorist proxy. The ayatollahs certainly could not have foreseen this situation or anything like it. Out of fear, Iran failed to react to the killing of [former Hamas leader Ismail] Haniyeh in Tehran. They also know their April 14th missile attack on Israel failed miserably and their proxy in Gaza is on its last legs. Taken together this may paralyze the regime. It remains to be seen how they will react to all this. One thing they will know is that they are now the subject of ridicule across the Middle East and they will find this intolerable. Not only that but they can ill afford to allow such weakness to prevail amidst so much opposition and dissent inside the country. They must now be beginning to fear for the future of the entire regime, especially if Israel turns greater attention to them."
He advised against agreeing to a ceasefire now that Hezbollah is reeling, "It is not time for Israel to 'take the win'. When an enemy is on the back foot that is the time to press forward with even greater intensity. The timid and pusillanimous critics in the US and France, who have forgotten the meaning or the need for victory should be politely disregarded by Israel as it decides on its plan of action."
When asked if a ground operation is even necessary in Lebanon given the successes of the IAF's aerial operation against Hezbollah, Col. Kemp responded, "Only the IDF and Israel’s political leaders can judge whether or not a ground offensive will be needed. That depends on two things: how much more damage can be achieved from the air and how Hezbollah reacts. I would counsel against attempting to rely on what has been achieved so far as deterrence against Hezbollah. That can only be short lived. There can be no substitute for large-scale destruction to deny the terrorists the means to continue their attacks, whatever they might wish to do."
"Decimation of Hezbollah — as well as for Hamas — is important not just for the immediate protection of Israeli citizens but also to demonstrate Israel’s strength across the Middle East both as a warning to those who would turn on Israel and also as a means of securing greater confidence among those who see Israel as protector against the common enemy: Iran," Col. Kemp concluded.
Jared Kushner Calls for Israel to Finish Off Hezbollah, Criticizes Ceasefire Proposals
Former president Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, a former senior White House adviser, has voiced strong opposition to a ceasefire with Hezbollah. Following the assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah on Friday, Kushner insists that Israel must be allowed to eliminate the group completely, despite calls for a ceasefire from the Biden administration.
“Anyone advocating for a ceasefire in the north is mistaken,” Kushner tweets in a rare public statement. “Israel cannot afford to stop now; they must dismantle the arsenal aimed at them. This opportunity won’t come again.”
His post was quickly retweeted by prominent figures such as former U.S. ambassador to Israel David Friedman, who is likely eyeing a role in a future administration, Wyoming Senator John Barrasso, senior Fox News analyst Brit Hume, and other key Trump-world voices.
Though Kushner has stated that he does not plan to return to the White House if his father-in-law is re-elected, his influence remains significant among Trump supporters.
In his lengthy post on X (formerly Twitter), Kushner describes September 27—the day Israel killed Nasrallah—as “the most important day in the Middle East since the Abraham Accords breakthrough.”
“Iran is now fully exposed,” Kushner asserts. “Their nuclear facilities have not been destroyed, despite weak air defense systems, because Hezbollah has been their deterrent, a loaded gun pointed at Israel for 40 years.”
He goes on to say that Israel now has the chance to neutralize both the Gaza and Hezbollah threats. “It’s unfortunate how we got here, but perhaps there’s a silver lining,” Kushner writes, urging the U.S. to support Israel in finishing the job. He stresses that Hezbollah, responsible for the deaths of hundreds of Americans, poses a global threat.
“The right move now for America is to tell Israel to finish what they’ve started. This fight isn’t only Israel’s.”
September 27th is the most important day in the Middle East since the Abraham Accords breakthrough.

I have spent countless hours studying Hezbollah and there is not an expert on earth who thought that what Israel has done to decapitate and degrade them was possible.
This is…
Iran confirms: Abbas Nilpourshan, a commander in Iran's Quds Force, was killed alongside Nasrallah in yesterday's strike on Dahiya.
A prominent general in Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard died in an Israeli airstrike that killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut, Iranian media reported Saturday.
The killing of Gen. Abbas Nilforushan marks the latest casualty suffered by Iran as the nearly yearlong Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip teeters on the edge of becoming a regional conflict. His death further ratchets up pressure on Iran to respond, even as Tehran has signaled in recent months that it wants to negotiate with the West over sanctions crushing its economy.
Nilforushan, 58, was killed Friday in the strike in Lebanon in which Nasrallah died, the state-owned newspaper Tehran Times reported. Ahmad Reza Pour Khaghan, the deputy head of Iran’s judiciary, also confirmed Nilforushan’s death, describing him as a “guest to the people of Lebanon,” the state-run IRNA news agency said.
Khaghan also reportedly said that Iran had the right to retaliate under international law.
Nilforushan served as the deputy commander for operations in the Guard, a role overseeing its ground forces. What he was doing in Lebanon on Friday wasn’t immediately clear. The Guard’s expeditionary Quds Force for decades has armed, trained and relied on Hezbollah as part of its strategy to rely on regional militias as a counterbalance to Israel and the United States.
Nilforushan, like other members of the Guard that view Israel as Iran’s main enemy, long mocked and criticized the country.
“The Zionist regime has many ethnic, cultural, social and military rifts. It is in vulnerable and in doom status more than before,” Nilforushan said in 2022, according to an IRNA report.
The U.S. Treasury sanctioned Nilforushan in 2022 and said he had led an organization “directly in charge of protest suppression.” Those sanctions came amid the monthslong protests in Iran over the death of Mahsa Amini following her arrest for allegedly not wearing her headscarf, or hijab, to the liking of police. At the time, Nilforushan accused Iran’s enemies abroad of stoking the demonstrations led by Iranian women that challenged both the mandatory hijab and the country’s theocracy.
Nilforushan also served in Syria, backing President Bashar Assad in his country’s decades-long war that grew out of the 2011 Arab Spring. Like many of his colleagues, he began his military career in the Iran-Iraq war of the 1980s.
In 2020, Iranian state television called him a “comrade” of Gen. Qassem Soleimani, the head of its expeditionary Quds Force who was killed in a U.S. drone attack in Baghdad that year.
Nilforushan’s death comes as Iran in recent months has been signaling it wants to change its tack with the West after years of tensions stemming from then-President Donald Trump’s unilateral withdrawal of America from Tehran’s nuclear deal with world powers in 2018.
In July, Iranian voters elected reformist President Masoud Pezeshkian following a helicopter crash that killed President Ebrahim Raisi, a hard-line protege to 85-year-old Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
While critical of Israel, Pezeshkian has maintained that Iran is willing to negotiate over its nuclear program, which now enriches uranium to near weapons-grade levels. While Iran has been able to sell oil abroad despite sanctions, it likely was at a steep discount and energy prices have fallen further in recent weeks.
Meanwhile, Iran still threatens to retaliate for Soleimani’s killing and the suspected Israeli assassination in Tehran of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in July. Iran hasn’t explained why it hasn’t struck yet, though an unprecedented direct attack it launched in April on Israel failed to seriously damage any major target.

Evil Biden Reacts to Nasrallah Death by Calling for Ceasefire Deals Despite Israel’s advance toward Victory
Joey Biden issued a statement on Saturday welcoming the death of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in an Israeli airstrike, but repeating his call for ceasefire deals in Gaza and Lebanon, despite Israel’s advance toward victory.
The Times of Israel reported that the Biden administration was angry about the airstrike because Israel did not inform it until the operation was in progress, and appeared to have strung the White House along about a ceasefire.
Israel had reason to worry that the White House might not keep the operation secret. The head of intelligence at Biden’s National Security Council, Maher Bitar, is a former radical pro-Palestinian activist. Moreover, President Barack Obama was thought to have leaked information to the media about a potential Israeli strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities in order to warn the Iranians and prevent the Israelis from attacking.
The Biden administration has tried, throughout the war that erupted with the Hamas terror attack last October 7, to prevent Israel from destroying terrorist organizations. Vice President Kamala Harris warned Israel against entering Rafah to destroy Hamas.
Israel Blockades Lebanon After Eliminating Nasrallah and the Entire Hezbollah High Command!
The entire Hezbollah high command was eliminated together with Nasrallah, the IDF confirmed, including Ali Karki, the Commander of Hezbollah’s Southern Front, and additional Hezbollah commanders. Several senior members of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), including IRGC Quds Force in Lebanon commander Abbas Nilforoushan, were also killed.
Following the strike, the IDF imposed a military blockade on Lebanon to prevent the rearming of the terrorist organization by Iran, via Syria.
Over the last day, Lebanese bulldozers were attacked from the air trying to restore the six land border crossings between Lebanon and Syria that were bombed by the Israeli Air Force earlier this week. The Israeli military officially informed Lebanon that it will not allow planes arriving from Syria or Iran to land in Beirut.
An Iranian cargo plane was advised Saturday morning not to land in Beirut and Iranian ships may also be stopped off the coast of Lebanon. Civilian movement will be allowed, the IDF said.
For years, the Hezbollah terrorist organization systematically operated to build up its capabilities and increase its stockpile of weapons. Weapons and components have been smuggled from the east into Lebanon and delivered to manufacturing sites, where a range of weapons are produced—including precision-guided missiles—to be used in attacks against the State of Israel.
On Friday night, following precise intelligence, the IDF intensified its operations against Hezbollah’s force build-up through a series of targeted strikes on key weapons manufacturing sites. The targets included a facility used to produce and assemble missile and rocket launchers in southern Lebanon, as well as another site in the Beka’a Valley that was intended to support Hezbollah’s force build-up efforts.
IDF strikes were also carried out earlier this week (Thursday) on several smuggling routes used to transfer weapons from Syria into Lebanon.
Nasrallah’s bunker, which served as the Central Headquarters of the Hezbollah terrorist organization, was located underground embedded under a residential building. A total of six buildings were leveled with 83 tons of explosives dropped in Friday afternoon’s surgical strike monitored from the Israeli Air Force Command center by IDF Chief of General Staff LTG Herzi Halevi and IAF Commander MG Tomer Bar.
Nasrallah and Hezbollah joined the war against Israel launched on October 7, 2023 by fellow Iranian proxy Hamas in Gaza, the very next day — on October 8, 2023 — and since that time ordered and coordinated daily rocket, missile and explosive drone attacks on Israel.
The IDF said Saturday night that its forces are “continuing to act to degrade Hezbollah’s capabilities, which pose a threat to the citizens of Israel and the entire region.”

Coward! Iran’s supreme leader moved to secure location
Nassralla Kissing Khamenei's Ring |
Iran’s terror-supporting Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was moved to a secure location on Saturday, even as he urged the Muslim world to “stand by” Lebanon and Hezbollah following Israel’s killing of Hassan Nasrallah.
Presumed next on Israel’s target list after the deaths of the leaders of both Hezbollah and Hamas — the latter inside Iran in July — Khamenei, 85, was moved to an undisclosed location in Iran with heightened security efforts in place, according to two regional officials briefed by Tehran.
Iran is in constant contact with Hezbollah in Lebanon and other regional proxy groups as it works to determine the next steps following Israel’s announcement that Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah was killed in a strike in Beirut Friday, the source said.
Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar and other Hamas officials in Gaza also ceased their movements Saturday as a precautionary measure, the Times of Israel reported, citing the Saudi-owned Al-Arabiya news outlet.
Hezbollah confirmed Nasrallah’s death on Saturday, several hours after the initial IDF report claiming his demise.
In a statement issued Saturday, Khamenei urged Muslims in the region “to stand by the people of Lebanon and the proud Hezbollah with whatever means they have and assist them in confronting the… wicked regime [of Israel].”
“The fate of this region will be determined by the forces of resistance, with Hezbollah at the forefront,” the supreme leader insisted, according to state media reports.
Nasrallah’s killing prompted international concerns about an escalation of the conflict in the Middle East, which has been steadily growing since Hamas’ terror attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.
On Saturday, the European Commission and European Union Aviation Safety Agency cautioned airlines to avoid Lebanese and Israeli airspace until at least Oct. 31 due to “an overall intensification of airstrikes and degradation in the security situation.”
Hezbollah responded to the strikes that killed Nasrallah and several other higher-ups in the terror group by launching a volley of rockets into Israel, the Times of Israel reported.
Several rockets fired over the Western Galilee, the West Bank, and the Golan Heights set off warning sirens before being intercepted by air defenses.
Israel also continued its strikes against Lebanon, the IDF confirmed.
Since Friday night, the IDF said it had hit about 140 Hezbollah targets, including dozens of rocket launchers aimed at Israel.
Mass Murderer Hassan Nasrallah eliminated in airstrike
On Friday afternoon, shortly before Shabbat, the IDF conducted a precise strike, eliminating Hezbollah's leader, Hassan Nasrallah, IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi confirmed.
The strike took place in Hezbollah’s underground headquarters in the heart of Beirut, along with other senior officials in the terrorist organization.
Halevi stressed, "Nasrallah indiscriminately murdered Israeli civilians and aimed to end this war with the destruction of the State of Israel. We made sure that did not occur. We eliminated him, and we will continue to grow stronger."
He added, "Hezbollah has murdered innocent people worldwide, hiding his weapons under the homes of families, women and children and turning them into human shields."
"As we have shown, we will not allow such a threat to our citizens! We are determined to continue destroying the Hezbollah terrorist organization and to keep fighting. We have more missions ahead on all fronts—destroying terrorist organizations and their capabilities, returning our hostages—the mission is constantly before our eyes! As well as the safe return of the residents in the north and south to their homes.
"This week, the year comes to an end—a year where IDF commanders and soldiers fight bravely and work to put an end to the hardships of the past. The IDF stands with the bereaved families. We will continue to honor the path of the fallen.
"With the fighting spirit and resilience of the entire nation, the IDF will continue to safeguard our security!”

Biden Trying Hard to Make Netanyahu Look Like a Liar.. But it is backfiring!
On Friday morning, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Office issued a statement saying: “Due to a lot of misreporting around the US-led ceasefire initiative, it is important to clarify a few points. Earlier this week, the United States shared with Israel its intention to put forward, together with other international and regional partners, a ceasefire proposal in Lebanon. Israel shares the aims of the US-led initiative of enabling people along our northern border to return safely and securely to their homes. Israel appreciates the US efforts in this regard because the US role is indispensable in advancing stability and security in the region.”
The statement concluded: “Our teams met Thursday, Sept. 26, to discuss the US initiative and how we can advance the shared goal of returning people safely to their homes. We will continue those discussions in the coming days.”
Hezbollah cease-fire plan proves Joe Biden, Kamala Harris are both naïve AND heartless
Team Harris-Biden’s approach to the Middle East isn’t just naïve — it’s devoid of any sense of right and wrong: Just look at Wednesday’s fantasy-land push from the White House, along with France, for a cease-fire between Hezbollah terrorists and Israel.
Since the day after Hamas’ Oct. 7 terror attack, Hezbollah has launched nearly 9,000 rockets, missiles and drones into Israel, forcing the evacuation of 60,000-plus people from the north.
A week ago, commanders of Hez’s elite Radwan Force met to advance an Oct. 7-style invasion of Israel that would have made Hamas’ attack look like an interfaith picnic.
Israel is finally fighting back: It wiped out the Radwan commanders in an airstrike and is moving to destroy Hezbollah’s rocket launchers and missile stocks.
Has it no decency? What choice does Israel have?
And President Biden’s statement with French President Emmanuel Macron didn’t even cite Hezbollah by name as a party to the fighting.
“It is time for a settlement on the Israel-Lebanon border that ensures safety and security to enable civilians to return to their homes,” the message reads. “We call for . . . the immediate support of the Governments of Israel and Lebanon.”
Sorry: The Lebanese government has nothing to do with it: It’s Hezbollah that’s the problem — and it’s not going anywhere voluntarily.
Indeed, Israel has warned Hez repeatedly that if it doesn’t quit the rocket fire and retreat north of the Litani River (about 18 miles from the Israeli border), the IDF will act.
The terrorists have ignored those warnings for a year, and now Israel is making good on its threat (a foreign concept for Harris-Biden) so its people can return home.
How clueless — and callous — for Biden and Kamala Harris to expect Israel to suddenly stand down now.
Heck, the idea itself was such a nonstarter for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that he didn’t even bother to respond, his office tweeted.
Instead, Bibi vowed to “continue to hit Hezbollah with all our might.”
If Biden-Harris had any true compassion, any desire for real peace and not just a three-week joke of a cease-fire for the benefit of anti-Israel voters, they’d encourage Israel to finish off the terrorists — and maybe even help.
Instead, the Pentagon says the US military won’t provide intelligence or other support for Israeli operations in Lebanon.
It’s beyond pitiful.
But it goes a long way toward explaining why the entire world is aflame.
