Hezbollah's deputy leader Sheikh Naim Qassem declared on Monday that the Lebanese militant group will continue its fight against Israel. ‘We are ready for an (Israeli) invasion with ground troops,’ he said in a speech recorded in advance, ’and we will emerge victorious.’ Israel is ‘currently’ conducting ‘limited ground operations’ in Lebanon. The US State Department confirmed this on Monday evening, following reports by The Washington Post. ‘They have informed us that they are currently conducting limited operations targeting Hezbollah's infrastructure near the border,’ spokesman Matthew Miller said. Israeli ground operation in Lebanon may begin ‘within hours’

What is their task ?

To evacuate US citizen it takes a lot more than marines to actually get involved in this war, this is normal US policy. And there are also there to protect the oil in the region, defence for embassies and US military bases.

The Israeli army has begun its ground offensive in Lebanon. It involves ‘limited and targeted’ operations against Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon, the army said in a statement. But on every hill they will be fired upon, so the Israeli army will have to take those hills before you know it you are in Beirut.

Make hay while the sun still shines.

Take part of this war, was never on my mind. However I was thinking more like are they there to prevent Iran from doing something stupid.

IDF spokesman claims Herzbollah planned ground attacks into Israel in 10-7 style.

US spokesman tells CBS that Iran is preparing imminent ballistic missile attacks on Israel.


If one of them, a ballistic medium range missile, slips through and really devastates its target area and causes many (maybe even civilian) killings, things will get very - interesting... Israel will retaliate directly against Iran and not just its proxies then, I have little doubt.

If I was the leader of Israel I would ask myself how reliable these information is and if they are 110 % reliable I would make a preemptive strike on these batteries where the Ballistic is going to be fired from.

Following is a statement from the Danish Prime Minister

Iran conducted a missile strike on Israel.

And it was a massive strike at that.

I'm not talking about the massive attack in April, but the information we got today.

Edit
Just heard that Iran have send up to 200 ballistic missiles against Israel and huge explosion can be heard in Jerusalem or was it Bethlehem.

Will Israel counter this attack ?

Iran is estimated to have fired some 180 ballistic missiles at Israel tonight. This is according to an initial assessment by the Israeli military. Fars News Agency, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps news agency, is warning of a second wave of ballistic missiles to be fired at Israel. If Israel will retaliate yes, Israel expected this Iranian attack so they have plans ready to strike back.

There were contradicting information on the size of the attack. CNN, CBS, BBC said it were up to 500 missiles in 3 or 4 waves, later seemed to have scaled down their count. German state television ARD and ZDF as well as German N-TV and PhoeniX TV said it were around 200 missiles in 2 waves.

The attack in April was 120 smaller missiles/rockets/drones, and 30 cruise missiles-style weapons, I think.

However, Iran back then and aswell again today did not fire them all simultaneously, but nicely set them up like pearls on a string so that the Israelis, the US forces and Jordanians had best chances to take them out one by one. A few missiles came through however. Still: This was not a major strike with determination, but the Iranians are - communicating. To Israel. And to their own fans: "See: we did somethinh, we struck them".

If all of these missiles or maybe even more would have simualteously arrived and flooded the defences, overwhelming their ready ammo stacks and calcuation centres by their numbers, then we would look at another situation tonight. Even the Israeli defence system is not invincible.

No reports on anythign major hit, no repports on many casualties. One dead, a few wounded. I am not making any prediction on whether this is already enough for Israel to strike back into Iran and "all in". Probably not.

Again, I dont think Iran does not have thje capability to launch bigger strikes and then coordinate the arrivals of all warheads in a way that they do more damage. This is not an unlimited strike carried out with bitter determination, but its more stage thunder, a symbolic reaction, and a warning. They do not want right now the big war with Israel. But they had to do something after the imminent past and its series of Israelis scores against Hamas and Hezbollah and Iran.

I would aim for their nuclear facilities with a few ballistic missiles as a revenge for the attack tonight.

Biden directed US military to aid Israel, and am sure the countries that aided Israel last time will give aid now. Pentagon says US navy destroyers fired about a dozen interceptors against Iranian missiles headed to Israel. Jordan allowed American forces to use its airspace to shoot down Iranian missiles.

Jordan and Saudi-Arabia two joker in this Iran-Israel conflict.
