Top Hezballah Military Commander Psychologically Traumatized by Mean Tweets on Twitter and Also Physically Traumatized by a Bomb Blowing His Face Off

I am still in awe of Israel's latest operations.
They convinced Hez they were being tracked by their cellphones. They supplied Hez with "safer" pagers. Then they blew up the pagers. Hez then switched to walkies. Israel anticipated that, and pre-placed explosive walkies. Israel blew up the walkies. Hez decided all electronic comms were unsafe, so they held in-person meetings. THEN ISRAEL BLEW UP THE IN PERSON MEETINGS.
Amazing. Simply amazing.

Israel says it killed top Hezbollah military commander in Beirut strike

The Israeli military said it killed top Hezbollah military commanders, including the militia's head of operations Ibrahim Aqil, on Friday in an airstrike on a southern Beirut neighborhood. Lebanon's health ministry said at least 12 people were killed and dozens more were wounded.

All of them were women and children, particularly the head of the militia, who was a 14-year-old nonbinary Goth girl named Penelope. Rest in Power, King.

The big picture: The strike in Beirut is further escalating the fighting between Israel and Hezbollah, risking an all-out war.

It's always those Jews escalating -- never the Muslim terrorists firing rockets into civilian neighborhoods or taking young girls captive as rape-slaves.

Those Jews tend to "seize and pounce" on Muslim war crimes, don't you know.

Hezbollah has not confirmed Aqil's death.
The IDF said Aqil was the head of Hezbollah's military operations and the commander of the elite Radwan Forces, and was killed along with other commanders in the unit.
An Israeli official said the senior command of the Radwan forces -- about 20 commanders -- were killed in the strike.
IDF spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said in a press conference that Aqil and the Radwan unit commanders were killed as they held a meeting.
...
White House spokesperson John Kirby said he was not aware of any prior notice Israel gave the U.S. about the Beirut strike.

Go f*** yourself.

Kirby said the U.S. still believes a diplomatic solution for the fighting on the Israel-Lebanon border is possible. He stressed that a war between Israel and Lebanon isn't inevitable "and we are trying to prevent it."

Again, go f*** yourself.

Israel is trying to end a war too -- by killing an enemy that has not been deterred by 50 years of endless concessions. If you want the violence to end, let Israel end the violence.

The Israeli official said Israel reached the conclusion that it wouldn't be able to reach a diplomatic solution to the situation on the northern border without going through a military escalation.
"This is why we have been gradually taking our gloves off and increasing our attacks against Hezbollah," the official said.

Yes, that is accurate.

As Colonel Kurtz said, "Kill them all."

I hadn't heard this:

I don't know if it's already been posted here, but Israel liquidated the [terrorist] responsible for the bombing of the Marine barracks in Beirut that killed over 200 American military.

That asshole has been walking around since the 1980's because US intelligence agencies would rather take out innocent Americans.

Via Instapundit, Battleswarm Blog notes that the pagers, walkie-talkies, and other electronic devices rigged to explode weren't adulterated in the supply chain. Rather, Israel manufactured all of these from Jump Street. Israel was the supply chain, back to front.

The Daily Wire:

Israel has injured thousands across Lebanon, with hundreds in critical condition and dozens more dead, this week in two waves of simultaneous explosions of electronic communications equipment targeting Iranian-backed Hezbollah terrorists.
The blasts -- which may have killed 19 and wounded 150 of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) members -- started on Tuesday afternoon around 3:30 p.m. local time when pagers used by Hezbollah started beeping with a message from their leadership.
After a few beeps, the pagers simultaneously exploded across the country, blinding hundreds, tearing off limbs, and leaving gaping holes in bodies.
The messages that the devices received were not from Hezbollah leadership; they were from Israel's intelligence and military apparatus, and they were part of a multi-year plan.
There was initial confusion as to what happened when the explosions were reported. Various news reports said that malware had potentially been uploaded to the devices, causing the batteries to overheat and explode. Then reports surfaced claiming a small amount of highly explosive material had been placed into each device after Israel intercepted the devices after they were manufactured by a Taiwanese company.
However, none of those reports were accurate, according to a New York Times report that revealed that Israel never intercepted the pagers -- it made them.

57 True story, when the CIA was hellbent on killing Castro, among their efforts to get him included exploding cigars, and an elaborate plot to get him a diving suit that would be... I don't remember, I don't think it was supposed to explode, but was filled with a poison?

Whatever, the plot was foiled, when someone other than the CIA's man gave Castro a similar diving suit. I think it was for his birthday.

So his life was spared, due to the fact it would have been a social faux pas to get him the same gift someone else already got him.

Besides Hezbollah grossly covering up the true extent of fatalities from the exploding electronics, it's lkely that the death toll will keep rising for a while, due to infections and medical complications.

The complications would include, but not be limited to, suicides of men who lost their dicks, and the leadership culling operatives who are now considered liabilities or security risks.

219 Friend visiting me in DC and I went to the Giant across from the Cathedral, dead dog August days of summer, to get BBQ fixin's. We're in the dairy section, up walks VP Mondale. Very personable, we chatted about dairy prices (this was '79, so, yeah). My friend was fairly impressed. (SS was standing down at other end of aisles, store was empty).

So next we go down to the Mall to check out the just-opened East Wing of the Smithsonian. A guy in a suit (in August, yikes) is walking ahead of us as we approach the gallery, holds the swinging door open for us. Tony Randall.

So at that point I just looked at my friend, now cracking up, and laughingly said "yeah, this is all just typical".

260 There is a guy who posts videos claiming the NFL is fixed and...I mean...the videos are a thing to see.

The latest one I saw was from a Cowboy v Cards game. The Cowboy's QB fumbles and a running back picks it up. The ref was running in a way so that the running back had to run into him and the ref "accidentally" swipes the ball loose.

I don't actually the NFL is *that* fixed (though it is fixed in other ways) but...watching that video makes no sense - refs are supposed to get away from a scrum and not make weird arm gestures right at the ball as someone comes running towards them...

Posted by: CharlieBrown'sDildo at September 20, 2024 03:33 PM (d9fT1)

Also Israel is just too small to flood the country with soldiers and control things for an extended period of time.

Any "permanent" type of victory would include longterm de-islamification like Germany got for the Nazis and Japan got for Shinto/emperoro worship.

Not going to happen.

So, the best thing they can do is basically a massacre of any Hezbollah members and their support until they cry "uncle" and even then probably more killing will be required just to drive the point home.

I suspect this was a big part of the pager/electric bombing. Becoming a eunuch or blind cripple or amputee is hardly the glorious end these Hezbollahtards expect for themselves. No jihadi paradise for that.

Israel simply needs to make war against it the most unpleasant thing possible.

When he "acts" he usually reads from cue cards. You can see it in his films, he's always glancing to the side to read his next line. I watched Midnight Run last night (downloaded via torrent. fuck you, Hollywood), and yep, he does it through most of the film.

The famous coffee shop scene in Heat, he's particularly bad about it. You'd think that he'd do the work to memorize his lines, I mean it's word for word virtually the same as the original TV film that Mann did for the same story years before. It's Pacino who makes that scene work

Posted by: LizLem at September 20, 2024 03:37 PM (G/nNB)

The framing that Nike has fallen is hyperbolic. It's still one of 100 largest companies listed in the US, still has massive sales and massive profit. It simply had an exceptional two years in 2021 and 2022, but hasn't continued to grow in massive leaps since. That was enough to convince them to swap out the CEO, but it's not like it killed the brand. They're still selling tens of billions worth of shoes and raking in billions of dollars in profit each year.

400 This probably doesn't, cut I was drunk as hell and with friends and we just saw a playoff win by the TB Lightning against the scummy Flyers in Tampa. This was mid 90s and was the Lightning first playoff run. The game was in the dome in St. Pete and 30,000+ fans were there. Largest attended NHL playoff game ever. Anyway, ran into the Fox Sports crew, who covered the game. Anyway, bumped into Mike Eruzione. Friendly and patient guy. There was about 4 or 5 of us and we here hammered at that point. No idea what was said. Recall is a bit fuzzy now.

401 "White House spokesperson John Kirby said he was not aware of any prior notice Israel gave the U.S. about the Beirut strike."

Yeah, I wouldn't either. Cause the Administration would leak it for their own purposes.

402 What I find extremely funny is the last part to this story. The Israelis MADE THE PAGERS! Unmentioned anywhere is how the Hezbollah feels now knowing that they paid the Jews to blow up up their members (literally).

403 >>>Israel is trying to end a war too -- by killing an enemy that has not been deterred by 50 years of endless concessions.

THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS

404 It's funny - when we play by anything close to Hezbollah's rules, we win. These jack holes only exist because we refuse to fight as dirty as they do.

Israel has dipped a toe in the water here, and immediately killed 10% of their leadership.

405 White House spokesperson John Kirby said he was not aware of any prior notice Israel gave the U.S. about the Beirut strike.

Good grief Kirby is a dimwit. The correct answer is "no comment". You keep them fucking guessing. You make them nervous.

406 Kirby said the U.S. still believes a diplomatic solution for the fighting on the Israel-Lebanon border is possible.

Well, of course there is. Killing your enemies until they beg for mercy and surrender IS a diplomatic solution.

But you've forgotten that in your Foggy Bottom Progressive world of non-reality.
