It is not surprising that Lebanese Christians and Sunni Muslims hate the Shi’a militia Hezbollah, that has effectively been Lebanon’s government for many years, and brought the country a world of woe, from the goose-stepping bezonians in Beirut who terrorize the non-Hezbollah members of the citizenry to the huge explosion on August 4, 2020, caused […]
What Will Keep the Peace Between Israel and Hezbollah?
Seth Mandel argues that any ceasefire or truce treaty with Hezbollah that requires the IDF to withdraw from south Lebanon will be a snare and a delusion. The only way to restore and then keep the peace in Israel’s north, he says, is through deterrence. Israel has now shown that it can wreak terrible damage […]
Israel Eliminates Deputy Commander of Hizballah Elite Unit
The Israelis continue to hit Hezbollah leaders hard. There was Hassan Nasrallah, leader of the terror group for thirty-two years, who was blown up in an Israeli airstrike in Dahieh, southern Beirut, on September 27. There was Nasrallah’s heir apparent, Hashem Safieddine, who was similarly disposed of in an airstrike by the IDF in the […]
Obama Administration Shut Down Investigation of Hezbollah as a Criminal Enterprise
One of the ways Hezbollah earns money — about one billion dollars a year — is by drug trafficking. It controls much of the sale of drugs sent from Colombia and Venezuela to customers in the United States, Europe, and the Middle East. For eight years, beginning in 2008, a wide-ranging investigation by the Drug […]
Hizballah names Naim Qassem as new leader, Israel says he won’t last long
On September 24, Hassan Nasrallah was eliminated. His cousin Hashem Safieddine, the second in command, took over. Just over a week later, on October 3, Safieddine was eliminated. A man asks Muhammad “which of men is the best?” Muhammad replies that it is the man who is always ready for battle and flies into it […]
Lebanon: Christian politician calls country a ‘Hizballah mini-state,’ tells government say ‘Enough’ to Hizballah
Lebanon is indeed a Hizballah mini-state, yet the UN and the Western world don’t dare take any official notice of what Samir Geagea is bravely stating. Samir Geagea also stated: “If the Lebanese army had been on the border, Israel would not have attacked Lebanon.” But the Lebanese army is noticeably absent, while Hizballah (like […]
Hezbollah Hemorrhaging Its Fighters
With Hezbollah’s leader Hasan Nasrallah, and then his successor Hashem Safieddine both killed by the IDF, with many of its commanders killed, including ten of the twelve members of its ruling Jihad Council, with thousands of its members severely wounded — with many losing eyes and hands — as a result of those “exploding pagers,” […]
IDF Raid on Elite Radwan Force of Hezbollah
In Lebanon, the IDF has been devastating Hezbollah at breakneck speed. It has killed Hassan Nasrallah and his successor, Hashem Sufieddine, and dozens of the group’s commanders. As of October 21, the IDF had hit more than 3,200 targets across Lebanon, destroying command-and-control centers, warehouses full of rockets and missiles, weapons manufacturing workshops (including some underground), […]
Slain Hizballah top dog Safieddine studied at Islamic seminaries in Iran before becoming jihad group leader
He studied at Islamic seminaries and yet somehow didn’t encounter the Islamic teachings of peace and tolerance that are so blazingly obvious to Western non-Muslim political leaders, but obscure to the point of nonexistent to anyone else. “Israel kills Hezbollah’s ‘new leader’ in blitz on ‘secret bunker’ in another huge blow for Iran-backed terror group,” […]
Why Israel Must Continue to Fight
Some are using the death of Yahya Sinwar as a reason for Israel to “take the win” and agree to a ceasefire in Gaza. Gil Troy thinks that would be folly, and that Israel has to continue until Hamas and Hezbollah are sufficiently dismantled as to no longer constitute a threat to Israel for many […]
