      Israel once again escalating

      Oops, did I wander into the “let’s pretend Hezbollah doesn’t exist” thread? My bad.

          How would you define the difference between escalation and retaliation?

            Israelclaims that was Hezbollah’s plan.

            A claim used to launch a massive military strike on a neighboring county.

            I’d call that an unprovoked act of war.

            Israel calls it a normal day. Because they pull this shit all the time.

            There’s a reason Israel has no allies in the region.

              Here’s Nasrallah bragging about his great and super secret plan to fire 340 missiles into Israel :

              “The plan was to launch 300 Katyusha rockets and disperse them across various sites. This number was deemed sufficient to overwhelm the Iron Dome and its interceptor missiles for several minutes, allowing the drones to proceed,” Sayyed Nasrallah said, adding: “No resistance platforms were hit before the operation began. The resistance successfully launched 340 missiles, and all drone sites deployed their drones despite the raids. Remarkably, no site was damaged, either before or after the operation.”

              “‘Israel’ falsely claimed to have destroyed our strategic missiles, despite knowing that we have not used them yet and may do so in the future,” the secretary general said, further stating that Hezbollah’s fighters had already evacuated all the valleys containing precision and ballistic missiles, so what the enemy bombed today were empty valleys. “The drone sites were not hit, and the missile launch pads fired their missiles without being damaged in the pre-raids,” he indicated.
