Israel is most assuredly not hitting first. I have a nephew who lives about a mile from the border with Lebanon, and near the beginning of the war with Hamas in the south, he and his fellow apartment residents spent the better part of two days in their bomb shelter, because Hezbollah was firing hundreds of rockets all over northern Israel. The Israeli government has been advising people to evacuate from the north for at least the last four days, and my nephew is no longer at home. There have also been rockets fired from Syria. I don’t think that was the Syrian army, I think it was one or another terror group, or perhaps Iranian army units that are stationed there. But the central point is that in the north Israel is not initiating anything, just like it did not initiate anything in the south. A more clear-cut case of responding to aggression cannot possibly be found.
supposed translation of letter from Hezbollah official:
Permission has been given to those who are being killed because they have been wronged, and indeed, God is Able to grant them victory.
In response to the Israeli attacks this Friday afternoon on the vicinity of a number of southern Lebanese towns, the Mujahideen of the Islamic Resistance attacked the following Israeli sites: the Al-Abad site, the Miskvam site, the Ramia site, and the Jal Al-Alam site, with direct and appropriate weapons, and they achieved accurate hits.
Victory comes only from God, the Mighty, the Wise
“That is no reason to start a two front war Israel didn’t really need, and that WE will get drug into. If Israel struck first this is a very dumb move. Now they just kicked a hornet’s nest without any justification. You can’t claim self defense if you are the one who takes the first swing.”

They are not starting anything, they are being shelled from that second front. It is *entirely* a matter of self-defense.
“They have been firing rockets into Israel.”
No they didn’t as of last night. That was all false propaganda. Newmax even had to back track from all those reports and their pumping up of a two front war with both Gaza and Lebanon.
Yes, but from Syria but not from Lebanon yet.
I had to look up RPAV, although I had pretty much guessed what it was:
Remotely-Piloted Airship Vehicle
Longer response...
Media relations in Hezbollah - statement:
Hezbollah media relations condemns the heinous crime committed by the Zionist enemy by targeting a number of media professionals on the Lebanese border while they were covering the Israeli attacks on Lebanon, which led to the martyrdom of fellow journalist Issam Al-Abdullah and the injury of a number who are they.
What the Israeli occupation forces did was a continuation of their criminal aggression against media institutions in Gaza, destroying their headquarters and centers, and killing a large number of their workers, with the aim of preventing the transmission of crimes and images of brutal aggression against civilians and innocents.
We extend our condolences to Reuters in Lebanon, to Al Jazeera, to Agence France-Presse in Lebanon, to all other free media professionals and to the family of the oppressed martyr Issam al-Abdullah, and we ask God to grant the wounded a speedy recovery.
We call on all media, humanitarian and legal institutions to condemn the Zionist aggression against Lebanon and to condemn the blatant and blind bias of the institutions of the so-called free world to the side of murderers, criminals and aggressors.
This heinous crime of killing Lebanese citizens and residents of Lebanese territory, and any attack on the security of our people and the safety of our country will not pass without an appropriate response and punishment.

According to Reuters, Al Jazeera , FOX, IDF, Hezbollah admitted 2 days ago to firing rockets into Israel from Lebanon.
Add France 24 to list of those reporting Hezbollah attacks on Israel from Lebanon and IDF counter attacks.
The paragliding were faulse.
Reports that Netanyahu will make a statement soon
“According to Reuters, Al Jazeera , FOX, IDF, Hezbollah admitted 2 days ago to firing rockets into Israel from Lebanon.”
You realize that none of those sources can be trusted right? Did they really admit it as being said?
And that is the problem I’m having. They are all liars who are hell bent on exacerbating this war. They all already lied about it once so they can’t be trusted.
I understand the hate for Hezbollah and Islam in general , but we got to get it right and not let false propaganda manipulate our perspectives or reality. False flags are a real thing and this mess is going to cost us the taxpayers more than it should already without making matters even worse costing our Grandchildren even more.
If we lie Islam is going to bring the fight to us here. We need to scrutinize the accusations very well or we will be giving them reason to bring it on to our soil.
To ALL....
These tweets are pretty informative and gives scope to what we are witnessing in Israel.

Funny, I live about a mile north of a General Aviation airport, and while driving into my driveway yesterday, I saw a paraglider who appeared to be on approach to the runway. Riding my bike in Concord a couple of weeks ago, I saw four paragliders more or less lazily circling overhead, near the prison (there is a prison in Concord). They were apparently landing in a soccer field in a nearby town to the west.
Good for them.
Reuters and Al Jazeera, you should have known better than to embed yourselves with the enemies of mankind.
Too stupid to see that Israel is not effing around, period.
They aren't sitting around waiting to get killed. They're being distinctively proactive and taking out the enemies as fast as they can locate them, in Israel, or anywhere around them if they're attacking or preparing to attack.
Good for Israel!
I think your concerns stated in Post #32 have now been addressed. Israel now evacuating 18 villages along border with Lebanon due to incoming fire.
Saw that, but who threw the first blow that caused it? What folks do not understand is that their are entities in our own government and our allies who have no more concern for human life than those we call brutal. They will do anything needed to produce a wanted outcome. And in this case the MIC is just giddy about making this war as hot as possible to make it as profitable as possible. We cannot trust one word they utter about who started what. This reality is historic... The Spanish did not blow up the USS Maine.
Whole the Maine actually may have been an accident, that explosion was certainly used to get the war juices flowing at fever pitch. The first casualty of war is truth, so your counsel for skepticism is warranted. No government is angelic, certainly not ours or Israel’s. Just consider what the USS Liberty incident says about both of those governments. Might look closely at the rise and funding of Hamas while you’re at it. Knowledge of actual history kind of dulls the thirst for blood that establishment institutions (including the media) work so hard to cultivate in us.
The Maine was an internal coal dust explosion. But there are many such cases like the Gulf of Tonkin as another. The reason we are in this whole thing right now is because of our own CIA throwing the first blow when they created the false flag operation that caused the Iranian coup in 1953.
WE threw the first blow and we are at fault for all the perpetual on going hate they have for us and our allies right now. And why? Because Iran wanted to Nationalize their own oil industry. We helped the British take down a democratically elected president and install a dictator in order to preserve the ability to control their oil.
Before that they were wearing miniskirts, bell bottoms, and listening to Rock and Roll.
There is whole list of these historical wrongs they try to justify as rights. “Who threw the first blow” is ALWAYS the first question to ask.
