Hezbollah attacked an Israeli army base with explosive drones deployed from Lebanon on Tuesday, hitting the position for the first time in what the Iran-backed group declared part of its response to recent Israeli assassinations in Lebanon.

Also on Tuesday, an Israeli attack killed three Hezbollah fighters in south Lebanon, sources familiar with the group's operations said, adding to the death toll among its forces from more than three months of hostilities with Israel.

...

Hezbollah deputy leader Naim Qassem, in a televised speech, said his group did not want to expand the war from Lebanon, "but if Israel expands (it), the response is inevitable to the maximum extent required to deter Israel".

Sounds like a rather measured response.

“Don’t want wider war.”

When Hezbollah (piss be upon Allah) guys were kids, they would hit you and run to their mom for protection.

Yet, our LIberal media will carefully edit out the attack and instead focus on the “we don’t want a wider war” soundbite

I noticed, in the excerpt at least, there was no mention of Israeli casualties. See Tagline.

Hezbollah was started by a Cleric in Iran, fanned by his nephew Al Sadar in Iran. They are an Iranian tool of war against the Great Satan American and the Little Satan Israel. That they deal in evil should they ever look in the mirror, they might as vampires not see their own reflection, but we see it.

That greater war is that in reflection realizing that Israel is dismantling Hamas, they are next... Iran is currently being shadowed globally in order to mitigate their scorched earth against civilians, US businesses and diplomatic missions abroad. Once the assets are in place, they will be taken out as a prelude to the US hot war with Iran.

Our democrats and RINOs are warmongering parasites and pox on humanity, but I would definitly support a war dealing with Iran once and for all. Put Obama and Val Jared over there, and send their followers too.

Hitler just wants a little slice of Turkey,
And Austria perchance

He just wants a little peace (piece)

A little piece of Poland
A little bit of France

Let’s hit Hitler where he lives
America never forgives
Let’s force him to surrender
In incendiary splendor
Let’s hit Hitler where he lives
