The chief of Iran-backed Lebanese militant group Hezbollah praised the Oct. 7 Hamas assault on Israel and vowed to step up military pressure on Israel in coming days but said he didn’t plan on waging a large-scale attack now, as regional leaders sought to assess the risks of a widening war.

Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah’s secretary-general, spoke for the first time since the Hamas attacks that killed 1,400 people in southern Israel and sparked a war in Gaza and as Hezbollah and Israel have been engaging in tit-for-tat exchanges of fire across Israel’s northern border.

Hezbollah faces growing pressure from its own ranks and Palestinian groups inside Lebanon to respond more forcefully to Israel’s offensive in Gaza, which has killed thousands and devastated large parts of the enclave of two million people.
“For those who say that Hezbollah should start a war in the entire region, I say wait. These are the beginnings,” he said. “More actions will be taken against Israel from several different fronts and this issue will become more obvious in the next few days.”

2. Israel has fighter jets, ballistic missiles and nukes.

The United States is only as an add show of force.

Hesbala and Iran should tread softly.

And even Saudi Arabia has been intercepting hesbala missiles.

A regional war is bad for business.

[revmclaren]

5. So...you would rather the United States left

and let Hezbollah, Iran and Israel...plus any other countries that decide to join in duke it out?

Do you have a fully stocked bunker with enough food, water, and medical supplies to last about a decade?

Do you like freezing weather world wide for years at a time?

The United States reminds countries in the middle east that we've got Israel's back and also reminds Israel that we are closely watching.

So there is that...

12. I dont understand what you mean by irony.

But it is thought provoking and sobering.

If Israel deems a threat to their existence, they WILL consider the Samson Option.

The Samson Option...

The Samson Option was almost used in 1973 during the Yon Kippur war.

Israel And Nuclear Weapons...

I have posted this numerous times in threads you have posted in. But I guess I'll just have to keep posting it.

You seem very glib about it.

4. Fuck the Terrorists.. There was a "Ceasefire" and HAMAS

broke it on October 7.

Israel

6. Was there actually a ceasefire between Hamas and the IDF?

I thought Hamas missiles were a regular occurrence.

8. Yes.. thank you for asking..

Israel and Palestinians agree to cease-fire ending days of fighting and bloodshed

May 13, 2023

TEL AVIV — Israel and Palestinian Islamic Jihad have agreed to a cease-fire ending five days of fighting between the two sides, one U.S. official and one Israeli official told NBC News on Saturday.

The cease-fire was mediated by Egypt and will start at 10 p.m. local time.
“Now, this agreement has been reached thanks to continuous Egyptian effort. We appreciate this effort,” Mohamad al-Hindi told the Al Kahera Wal Nas channel.

9. Palestinian Islamic Jihad isn't Hamas, though.

PIJ joined in on 10/7, and it was their missile that landed in the Hospital Parking lot, IIRC.

[Beastly Boy]

15. And your point is?

Hamas is so more reliable than Palestinian Islamic Jihad to not violate the cease fire when it suits them?

Just a pathetic whack a mole game with the whole alphabet of terrorist cells, one pointing at the other.

[maxsolomon]

17. my point is that the ceasefire wasn't with Hamas.

ultimately, it doesn't matter if there was one or not, but DUers keep saying Hamas broke it.

[Beastly Boy]

18. Your point is a technicality that doesn't address the issue.

A difference without distinction.

But if it makes you feel any better, sure, you won on a technicality.

[maxsolomon]

19. i wasn't trying to win,

i was trying to understand what the facts are.

[Beastly Boy]

20. The facts are, there will always be a terrorist group that has no cease fire agreement with IDF.

They can take turns making agreements and braking them, and point fingers at each other.Which terrorist group is breaking the agreement at any given moment does not make the situation any mire stable.

[maxsolomon]

7. I think Israel is prepping for Hezbollah to open a 2nd front.

Pre-emptive strikes against their artillery woudn't suprise me at all.

Lebanon's Government is pathetic.

[EX500rider]

13. Not so sure, what I have read is that the Lebanese govt warned Hezbollah not to join in..

..and if they did they would be attacked from the rear by the Lebanese military also.

[oldsoftie]

22. Hezbollah will get a good dose of F-16s/15s & 35s

As they should.

11. From the safety of his suite in Quatar.

[EX500rider]

14. Some more of his deluded nonsense:

Nasrallah made the false claim that Israeli civilians in Gaza border communities were killed on October 7 by Israeli forces who were “acting insanely as they were caught by surprise and were ‘drunk’” — and not by Hamas.

16. Um, Mr. Nasrallah

YOU’RE NOT HELPING!

Kindly sit down and shut the hell up.

[oldsoftie]

21. Cant believe Israel hasnt been able to take out Nasrallah after all these years.

Or the prick in Qatar that heads Hamas
