Today Israel committed a massive act of terrorism by bombing multiple city blocks of Beirut using American built F-35s and enormous bunker busting bombs on ordinary civilian apartments.
Israel claims they were attempting to kill Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in these strikes. Hezbollah hasn't put out a statement yet but there's reports of up to 8 collapsed buildings in one strike alone. Which kinda leads me to believe Israel doesn't have a clue where Nasrallah is.
One of the few long form interviews Hassan Nasrallah was able to do with Western media in recent times was this 2012 session with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.
It's important to underscore the US involvement in the massive strikes on civilians in Beirut this past week.
American AWACS aircraft were seen approaching the Lebanese coast and then turning off their transponders right as the dozens of bombing runs began throughout Beirut on the 27th. Airplane spotters suggest these craft were deployed to aid with radar support for the fighter jets and possibly to conduct electronic surveillance of Hezbollah's reaction to the strikes.
Israeli tanks have been seen massing on the border with Lebanon hours ago. Under the cover of darkness media from both Israel and Lebanon claim a IOF ground invasion has begun as of 30min ago.

Meanwhile earlier this summer and again yesterday French diplomats have indicated that they will increase aid to the Lebanese military if Israel invades. Making proxy war opponents out of the US and France 😬
This article from earlier this summer suggests France's interest is in the Lebanese army pushing both Israel and Hezbollah away from the border so not exactly support for Hezbollah but certainly a rebuke of Israel's reckless strikes.
A French official told Breaking Defense that Paris "must be ready" to aid Beirut should it attempt a historic deployment to secure Lebanon's southern border, where Hezbollah could play spoiler.
So far Hezbollah is claiming no IOF ground assault has yet begun. Largely the proofs of activity on the Lebanese border I've seen so far appears to be Israeli artillery strikes along the border. Deeper in Lebanon, cities and towns have continued to be hit with IOF air strikes largely targeting civilian centers like apartment buildings.
These two phenomenal infographics floating around the tubes this morning. The death toll continues to climb in Lebanon and the second image is now a significant undercount but shows a greater death toll in the last week than there was in the entire 2006 war between Hezbollah and Israel.
Major response, likely from Iran, flooding the feeds.
This is breaking just now so, lots of allegedly and as reported.
It's claimed Iranian missiles have rained down on Israeli oil and gas platforms.
Iran has been expected to respond to the death of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah who died along side Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Deputy Commander Abbas Nilforoushan.
There'd been debate all weekend if the current 🇮🇷 administration would go for a military response.
In footage filmed near Tel Aviv its clear there is no Iron Dome response at all.
The last time Iran launched missiles at Tel Aviv the IOF fired nearly a billion dollars worth of Iron Dome interceptors to stop around $100 M worth of incoming missiles.
According to Reuters Iran moments ago signaled that their strikes are complete and it's safe for Israeli civilians to leave shelters.
The Israelis say 200 ballistic missiles entered their air space that Iron Dome defended their territory. They say they will retaliate.
The Iranians say they fired a dozen missiles and that this was a legitimate response to the recent aggressions in Lebanon. The urge the Israelis not to retaliate or next time there will be more missiles.
Around the same time as the Iranian missiles strikes on Tel Aviv two attackers armed with assault rifles opened fire on civilians in a busy neighborhood.
Five are confirmed dead but videos circulating online show dozens of people injured.
No clear indication yet if this was linked to this missile strikes or even aligned with the resistance axis.
Fires rage near Mossad HQ. Iran claims they have thousands more missiles in reserve. There are claims that the strikes on IOF airbases destroyed 20 IOF F-35 fighters, time might tell. It appears strikes primarily targeted key highways, two airbases and mossad hq.
Meanwhile Jordan claims they attempted to shoot down missiles that flew over their air space(which seems to have done fuck all).
Booster segments which appear to be from the Fattah-1 missile system have been found throughout the West Bank and parts of Jordan. Lots of selfies and celebrations with the boosters on socials.
There are reports that a small number of Iranian missiles struck IOF targets in Gaza along the Netzarim Corridor in a direct blow against the forces enacting genocide.

Iran's Armed Forces Chief of Staff, Mohammad Bagheri, reported on the strikes on Tel Aviv:
"Among our targets were israel’s 3 main airbases, Mossad’s terror HQ, Radar sites, and gathering sites of armoured vehicles around the Gaza Strip, responsible for the genocide in Gaza.
Only military sites were targeted. If Israel is not contained by US & Europe, and takes action against our sovereignty & territorial integrity, tonight's operation will be repeated in much greater size."
"Obviously this is a significant escalation by Iran - we are now going to look at what the appropriate next steps are to secure first and foremost American interests and then to promote stability to the maximum extend possible as we go forward"

But its also pretty sad that the best the UN can do is walk out of a speech given by a war criminal.
