Thread: Hamas Attack, breakout from Gaza many rockets fired

This was another failed attack by Iran. So much for turning Israel into glass, as you say, Willy. It will be the other way around, and the sooner, the better.

Iran fired several waves of ballistic missiles at Israel on Tuesday evening, a sudden assault that left Israel fighting simultaneously on three fronts and raised the likelihood of an all-out conflict between two of the most powerful militaries in the Middle East.

The attack was the culmination of a dizzying sequence of events over less than 24 hours that began with Israel launching an invasion into Lebanon to pursue the Hezbollah militia, an Iranian ally. Israel pounded Lebanon from the air throughout Tuesday as its troops advanced on the ground and Hezbollah fired rockets deep into Israel.

Iran fired about 180 missiles during its assault, the Israeli military said, making the barrage one of the largest of its kind and forcing millions of Israelis to take cover in bomb shelters for more than an hour. Many of the missiles were intercepted by Israel’s air defense system, while some fell in central and southern Israel, according to the Israeli military.

There were no immediate reports of casualties in Israel, but one Palestinian man was killed by falling shrapnel in the occupied West Bank.

The attack left the region on edge, uncertain about how Israel would respond. As Israel’s top commanders met to assess the situation, the chief military spokesman, Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, said Israel would respond in a way and at a time of its choosing. And Iran said it would fire more missiles if Israel counterattacked.

A senior White House official said the United States would help defend Israel and warned that a direct attack against Israel would “carry severe consequences for Iran.”

The scale of the attack upended the assumption among Israelis that Iran had been deterred by Israel’s increasingly brazen escalations against Iran and its proxies in recent months. Since July, Israel has killed Hamas’s political leader, Ismail Haniyeh, in the Iranian capital, and assassinated Hezbollah’s leader, Hassan Nasrallah, in Beirut, as well as many of his military commanders.

Those attacks prompted little response from Tehran until Tuesday evening, when Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps said in a statement that its missile attack had been in retaliation for those assassinations.

During the attack, air raid sirens sounded across Israel, including in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. Loud booming explosions were heard above both cities, as Israel’s interceptor rockets streaked across the night sky and collided with scores of missiles.

The attack came as Israel continued to fight Hamas, another Iranian proxy in Gaza, and mounted raids on Palestinian cities in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.

Iran last attacked Israel in April, but Israel, with help from the United States, Jordan and others, intercepted almost all of the hundreds of missiles and drones fired at its territory. With the United States urging restraint, Israel’s response was muted; it fired at an air base near some of Iran’s nuclear facilities, but did not hit the facilities themselves.

Iran Launches Ballistic Missiles at Israel: Live News Updates - The New York Times

An Islamic scholar from the UAE...

Iran is attacking Jerusalem, and Israel is defending this holy land, sacred to Jews, Christians, and Muslims. Once again, Israel is standing guard over the Temple, Al-Aqsa, and the surrounding churches while Iran seeks to destroy them.

The people of the Arab world firmly support the safety of the Israeli people.

Israel has the right to defend itself, whether through a targeted strike, such as the assassination style used against the evil Nasrallah, or by dismantling Iran’s nuclear capabilities, in defense of humanity and the Middle East.

The language of power is the only one this Islamic regime and its terrorists understand. This is not a war against Israel; it is a war against humanity.

I agree the language of power is the only one Iran and its terrorists understand. Israel should retaliate against military and government targets in Iran. The Americans and British should provide them with useful intelligence. Such an attack is well overdue.

I think you are missing the point. The whole region is populated by islamic camel fukin nutters who's sole purpose in life is to breed and kneel before some fictious idol, they hate jews, they hate Christians, they hate athiests, they treat women as chatlels who are only there to keep house and have the 3 sons required to spread Islam and wage holy wars against the non believing filth, they hate the west except all the technology, media and anything delevoped in the last 2 centuries or since Muslims stopped devloping culturally.

Religion is a disease on this planet but unfortunately it is allowed to play an active role in government across many societies, dictacting what people can and cannot do, sharping opinion and laws, Islam is by far the worst so as far as i'm concerned the more the merrier during the current ME solution.

take the knee to these bearded madmen and they will laugh at you before kicking you in the face and marrying (raping) your daughter.

you cant negotiate with them, they go back on their word. they are aggressive fanatics obsessed with oppression of their own people and forcing others ro submit.

martyrdom is paradise for them, they want it, they sell their sons into it, so best give it to them so the rest of us can move forward.

How ‘tree-hugging’ Hezbollah duped the UN in southern Lebanon


Environmental group claiming to plant trees was used as cover by militants for building of tunnels, firing ranges and ammunition stores


United Nations peacekeepers supposed to keep Hezbollah from Israel’s border have instead been outmanoeuvred and intimidated into allowing the militant group to build up extensive military might, their critics claim.


Hezbollah has dramatically expanded its military presence under the noses of peacekeepers, it is claimed, at times hiding behind an environmental group considered a front for the Iran-backed terrorists.


The group claiming to be protecting the natural habitat was instead covering up the building of tunnels, firing ranges and ammunition stores, the US government claimed last year.


The failings of the Unifil mission, which costs an estimated £420 million per year, have come under scrutiny as Israel has escalated its war to stop Hezbollah barrages of missiles into its northern cities.


Finding a way to somehow restore a credible demilitarised buffer zone between Lebanon and Israel has become an urgent part of American efforts to ease tensions in the region.

Israel’s military on Sunday showed media including The Telegraph what were said to be Hezbollah tunnels and attack positions built only 100 metres from UN watchtowers supposed to ensure armed groups did not operate in the area.


Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, at the weekend called on the blue helmet peacekeepers to move out of the way of an Israeli ground offensive, saying they were little more than potential hostages or human shields for Hezbollah.


Five peacekeepers have been wounded in recent days as UN positions have been hit by Israeli troops during their offensive.


Another 15 needed treatment on Sunday after being affected by what Israel said was a smokescreen.


The casualties have been widely condemned, including by Britain, which said it was “appalled” by reports Israel had deliberately fired on UN bases.


Yet, an Israeli minister on Monday denounced Unifil as a “useless force” that had failed to prevent Hezbollah harming Israeli citizens.


Eli Cohen, the energy minister, said: “The UN is a failed organisation and Unifil is a useless force.


“The state of Israel will do everything to ensure the safety of its citizens, and if the UN cannot help, at least not interfere and move its people from the combat zones.”


The peacekeeping mission was set up as a temporary measure in 1978 after Israel’s invasion that year, but has since gone on to be one of the UN’s longest-running blue helmet operations.


Originally tasked with confirming Israel’s withdrawal and restoring order, its temporary mandate went on to be repeatedly extended.


Then in 2006, its remit was expanded to enforce UN resolution 1701 which was aimed at helping end the month-long 2006 Israel-Hezbollah war.


tmg.video.placeholder.alt 1KPLphHpQfA
The resolution stipulated Israel would withdraw and Hezbollah would move north of the Litani river.


In the gap left behind, Unifil would enforce a roughly 18-mile deep buffer zone “free of any armed personnel, assets and weapons other than those of the Lebanese authorities and Unifil”.


Unifil troops, who are under strict restrictions on when they can use force, would monitor and report violations.


Both sides violated the resolution from the start. Hezbollah maintained a presence in urban areas of the buffer zone and Israel repeatedly carried out air strikes.


Hezbollah’s actions became more flagrant from 2016, the Atlantic Council think tank wrote last year, with the emergence of an environmental group called Green Without Borders.


The organisation said it aimed to protect Lebanon’s green areas and plant trees and it built camps and outposts as part of its work.


But the US government last year sanctioned the group, claiming it “served as a cover for Hezbollah’s activities” and had outposts “manned by Hezbollah operatives in more than a dozen locations”.


tmg.video.placeholder.alt rMm4ZUr-EjY
The outposts were cover for “underground warehouses and munitions storage tunnels”, the US treasury claimed and had “impeded” Unifil inspections.


Peacekeepers’ attempts to inspect the positions were blocked by the group, who said the posts were on private property and off-limits.


“Under the cover of Green Without Borders outposts, Hezbollah members conduct weapons training at firing ranges, patrol the surrounding area and maintain containerised housing units 25m from the Blue Line,” the US treasury claimed.


At the time of the sanctions, the organisation claimed it was “not an arm for anyone”.


Zouher Nahli, its leader, who was also sanctioned, said: “We as an environmental association work for all the people and we are not politicised.”


In July, the UN secretary general wrote to the security council requesting the latest 12-month extension of Unifil’s mandate, but admitting its difficulties.


He said both sides were still violating 1701. He also said there were at least five “unauthorised firing ranges outside state control” in the area “used on a number of occasions by gatherings of individuals in military-style attire with weapons”.


He said that despite repeated requests to the Lebanese government, “visits to these sites were not facilitated”.


Since hostilities escalated after Hamas’ Oct 7 attacks, peacekeepers had often been unable to patrol or fly helicopters, and were sheltering in bunkers, he said.


Analysts said peacekeepers have also faced growing hostility from the local Lebanon population, perhaps deliberately inflamed by Hezbollah which is deeply entrenched in southern Lebanon.


The hostility and the desire to avoid flashpoints and protect troops had made it more difficult to enforce the resolution.


The Lebanese government, which includes members of Hezbollah’s political wing, has also been accused of limiting the peacekeepers’ access, and keeping them out of sensitive areas.




The Atlantic Council last year reported that among peacekeepers there was “a rueful acknowledgement that force protection has come to trump mandate implementation”.


“If Hezbollah members block a patrol from accessing a certain area, the peacekeepers will log the event and return to base rather than force the issue and risk a confrontation and possible subsequent backlash.


“There is a growing sense of disillusionment among some peacekeepers.


“They privately question the point of continuing the mission when it is unable to challenge Hezbollah’s presence and actions on the ground.”

Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar killed by Israel

Israel has killed the leader of Hamas and mastermind of the October 7 massacre Yahyan Sinwar in a Gaza shoot-out.


Israel Defence Forces (IDF) troops fired upon a group of Hamas terrorists in a clash in the southern city of Rafah on Thursday.


Photographs from the scene showed the corpse of Sinwar, Israel’s most wanted man, with a bloody hole in his skull.


The assassination marks the most significant killing of the year-long war and a significant victory for Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s prime minister, who had long described him as a “dead man walking”.


Israel Katz, Israel’s foreign minister, announced the killing on Thursday afternoon in a statement to the media.


“The mass murderer Yahya Sinwar, responsible for the massacre and atrocities of October 7th, was eliminated today by IDF soldiers,” he said.


“This is a great military and moral achievement for Israel and a victory for the entire free world against the evil axis of extreme Islam led by Iran,” he added.


Mr Katz said that Sinwar’s killing created an opportunity for the immediate release of Israeli hostages and that it could bring about a Gaza “without Hamas and without Iranian control”.


The soldiers who killed Sinwar were not hunting him and came upon him in a chance encounter, Israeli media reported.


As well as Sinwar, Israel has now killed Hamas’ political leader, Ismail Haniyeh, the leader of Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, and dozens of other top commanders in the two terror groups in recent weeks.

Israel latest news: Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar killed by IDF

Love this video!

A great editorial piece about that piece of shit Sinwar.

This would never be shown on UK tv, whose grovelling reporters all suck islamist cock on a daily basis as if their lives depended on it.
Finally, a journalist not afraid of the truth, this australian reporter has nailed it.

Foreign Minister Israel Katz said on Sunday he had ordered his ministry to start legal proceedings against French President Emmanuel Macron after Paris banned Israeli firms from participating in an upcoming military naval trade show.

Israel, Hezbollah agree to ceasefire; to take effect on Wednesday

A ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon's Hezbollah will take effect on Wednesday (Nov 27) after both sides accepted an agreement brokered by the United States and France, US President Joe Biden said on Tuesday.


The accord, clearing the way for an end to a conflict that has killed thousands of people since it was ignited by the Gaza war last year, was designed to be a permanent cessation of hostilities, Biden said.

Biden, who gave remarks at the White House shortly after Israel's security cabinet approved the agreement in a 10-1 vote, said he had spoken to Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Lebanon's caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati.


Fighting would end at 4am local time, he said.


"This is designed to be a permanent cessation of hostilities," Biden said.


"What is left of Hezbollah and other terrorist organisations will not be allowed to threaten the security of Israel again.”

Israel will gradually withdraw its forces over a period of 60 days as Lebanon's army takes control of territory near its border with Israel to ensure that Hezbollah does not rebuild its infrastructure there, Biden said.


"Civilians on both sides will soon be able to safely return to their communities," he said.


French President Emmanuel Macron cheered the signing of the deal on social-media platform X, saying it was “the culmination of efforts undertaken for many months with the Israeli and Lebanese authorities, in close collaboration with the US”.


Lebanon's Mikati issued a statement welcoming the deal. Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib earlier said the Lebanese army would be ready to have at least 5,000 troops deployed in southern Lebanon as Israeli troops withdraw.


Netanyahu said he was ready to implement a ceasefire deal and would respond forcefully to any violation by Hezbollah.


Netanyahu, who faces some opposition to the deal from within his coalition government, said the ceasefire would allow Israel to focus on the threat from Iran, replenish depleted arms supplies and give the army a rest, as well as isolate Hamas, the militant group that triggered war in the region when it attacked Israel from Gaza last year.


"We will enforce the agreement and respond forcefully to any violation. Together, we will continue until victory," Netanyahu said.


"In full coordination with the US, we retain complete military freedom of action. Should Hezbollah violate the agreement or attempt to rearm, we will strike decisively."


Netanyahu said Hezbollah, which is allied to Palestinian militant group Hamas, was considerably weaker than it had been at the start of the conflict.


"We have set it back decades, eliminated ... its top leaders, destroyed most of its rockets and missiles, neutralised thousands of fighters, and obliterated years of terror infrastructure near our border," he said.

The United Nations Special Coordinator for Lebanon, Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert, welcomed the ceasefire deal in a statement, commending the parties to the agreement "on seizing the opportunity to close this devastating chapter".

"Now is the time to deliver, through concrete actions, to consolidate today’s achievement."


A senior US official, briefing reporters on condition of anonymity, said the US and France would join a mechanism with the UNIFIL peacekeeping force that would work with Lebanon's army to deter potential violations of the ceasefire. US combat forces would not be deployed, the official said.


The Lebanon ceasefire came after a change of attitudes on both sides in late October, the official said.


Biden, who leaves office in January, said his administration would continue to push for an elusive ceasefire and hostage-release deal in Gaza, where Israel is battling Hamas, as well as for a deal to normalise relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia.


HOSTILITIES CONTINUED ON TUESDAY


Despite the diplomatic breakthrough, hostilities raged as Israel dramatically ramped up its campaign of airstrikes in Beirut and other parts of Lebanon, with health authorities reporting at least 18 killed.


The Israeli military said it struck "components of Hezbollah’s financial management and systems" including a money-exchange office.


Israel issued more evacuation warnings late on Tuesday, just hours before the ceasefire was due to take effect.


Hezbollah also kept up rocket fire into Israel.


Israel's air force intercepted three launches from Lebanese territory, the military said, in an extensive missile barrage on Tuesday night that led to warning alarms in approximately 115 settlements.


Alia Ibrahim, a mother of twin girls from the southern village of Qaaqaiyat al-Snawbar, who had fled nearly three months ago to Beirut, said she hoped Israeli officials, who have expressed contradictory views on a ceasefire, would be faithful to the deal.


“Our village - they destroyed half of it. In these few seconds before they announced the ceasefire, they destroyed half our village,” she said.


“God willing, we can go back to our homes and our land."


A poll conducted by Israel's Channel 12 TV found that 37 per cent of Israelis were in favor of the ceasefire, compared with 32 per cent against.


Opponents to the deal in Israel include opposition leaders and heads of towns near Israel's border with Lebanon, who want a depopulated buffer zone on Lebanon's side of the frontier.


Both the Lebanese government and Hezbollah have insisted that a return of displaced civilians to southern Lebanon is a key tenet of the truce.


Israeli Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, a right-wing member of Netanyahu's government, said on X the agreement does not ensure the return of Israelis to their homes in the country's north and that the Lebanese army did not have the ability to overcome Hezbollah.


"In order to leave Lebanon, we must have our own security belt," Ben-Gvir said.

Far from settling for peace and reconciliation rebuild and recover Trump rages.

Trump warns Hamas: Release hostages or 'there will be ALL HELL TO PAY'



U.S. President-elect Donald Trump on Monday issued a stark warning, pledging severe consequences if Hamas does not release the hostages it holds in Gaza before he takes office in January. "Everybody is talking about the hostages who are being held so violently, inhumanely, and against the will of the entire World, in the Middle East - But it’s all talk, and no action!"

Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. "Please let this TRUTH serve to represent that if the hostages are not released prior to January 20, 2025, the date that I proudly assume Office as President of the United States, there will be ALL HELL TO PAY in the Middle East, and for those in charge who perpetrated these atrocities against Humanity. Those responsible will be hit harder than anybody has been hit in the long and storied History of the United States of America.

RELEASE THE HOSTAGES NOW!" Trump's statement followed the IDF's confirmation that Captain Omer Neutra, an Israeli-American soldier believed to have been held hostage since the October 7, 2023, terrorist attack, was killed, with his body still held by Hamas.
