Hezbollah launched hundreds of rockets and drones against Israel on Sunday in retaliation for the assassination of a senior commander in Beirut last month.
The Lebanon based militant group launched over 320 Katyusha rockets towards Israel and hit 11 military targets, according to the group.
Israeli intelligence had been aware of the impending attack, causing Israeli jets to start an airstrike campaign across southern Lebanon as an act of self-defense before Hezbollah could strike first.

Prayers for God's chosen people. Praying the leaders use wisdom. Praying this war ends soon.

I'll just be glad when they all kill each other. That seems to be what they want so it will make them happy.

This would never have happened in the first place on Oct. 7th if Trump was POTUS.

As it has been since the 6th century and always will be. When you follow a religion based on hatred of everybody else in the world, what could go wrong?

Re #1: The Muslims hate the Jews just like progressive liberals hate Trump. If you ask either of them why, they'll both stare at you with a puzzled look and then mutter aspersions: "they're PIGS, they're evil oppressors, they're FASCISTS, they're DICTATORS", etc. Both Muslims & progressives want dominion over everything & everybody, regardless of what the rest of the world thinks or wants. Their hatred is part of their belief system, deeply ingrained in their psyche, planted & nurtured from birth onwards. This war between the Muslims & Jews will never end until either the Muslims wipe out Israel or Islam is reformed into something more resembling the 'religion of peace' its touted to be and not totalitarian political ideology.

If Lebanon allows Hezbollah to operate out of their country they have to be prepared to receive the repercussions of the terror they allow to persist in their country. Just as we in our country receive the demonstrations of those who continue to be on the side of Palestinian terrorists.
If we allow it we deserve it.

Until the players stop playing footsie, this nonsense will continue.
Maybe if Israel fired a rocket into a Russian city for every Russian-supplied rocket that Hezbollah fired into Israel, Russia would stop selling rockets to Hezbollah?
And ditto for any rockets supplied to Hamas by Iran.
Could such a response escalate into a larger war? Sure it could, but that's exactly what has happened with the past approach, so why not?

Hutchison's got his knickers all in a twist. This is the same old-same old that has been going on since there was ever a state of Israel. The conflict will always be a tinderbox and has been since the Garden of Eden took in boarders!

I agree with you #2, unfortunately Netanyahu really wants us to expend our blood and treasure to do the destroying for him.

What’s concerning is that we have a bunch of clueless Biden staffers running the country while Biden naps in Delaware. They’ve managed to supply Iran with enough money to build enough nuclear weapons to share with other terrorists. Israel is their enemy and so are we. I have no doubt that something worse can happen.

Good for Israel...keep them guessing...and always prepare for the worst...before it happens...I'm very impressed with the IDF and Mossad...they seem to be one step ahead of Iran via their war lords and terrorists....it is not a comfortable situation...but...thank God the Israelis are one step ahead of their enemies.....

I wish Bibi would hurry up and finish this job. It will never stop until they are annihilated. Every last one of them.

This is not a morally equivalent situation. Israel wants to live in peace and be left alone, something they have not been allowed since 1948. The Palestinians, et al, want Israel and all its people exterminated. The world has continually handicapped Israel with cease-fires, negotiations and propaganda. If Israel were allowed to do what they must to be left alone, the world would be much better off. You cannot survive a world that gives equal footing to babrbarians. As a species, we used to understand this. Unfortunately, we have become so enlightened that we have brought ourselves to the brink of annihilation.
