Summary

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz announced that Israel has “defeated Hezbollah” following a series of operations, including the assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.

The campaign included a September attack on Hezbollah communication devices, where thousands of pagers exploded in Beirut, killing 39 and injuring over 3,400.

Israeli media reported that Prime Minister Netanyahu personally approved the pager attack despite internal opposition.

Israel now hopes an international coalition encourage Lebanon to normalize relations with Israel.

      They have mom and dad to thank for that. It’s tragic, but how does one fight an evil embedded with children?

        When you strike people arbitrarily with booby traps that tends to happen.

        American soldiers go home too, is it ok to blow up their families?

        “Embed with children.” It’s an interesting way to describe being with your civilian family while not actively engaged on the battlefield.

        When soldiers get to board my plane early I’ll be sure to expect it to be shot down, since I’m just a human shield in that scenario.
