    If this is talking about what I heard on the radio driving home today. It struck two different buildings containing militia and killing some commanders and militia men.

    Thanks. We are trying to respond to their attempts so far which have killed one contractor, and many injured, likely at least one serious, but no confirmation or detail.

    They're trying to remind us of our vulnerability in Iraq and Syria and we are reminding them with even greater force of their vulnerability. Let's hope it stops.

    And I'd much rather strike at their IRGC assets in Syria then at the Houthis coming from any reasons, including the fact that the IRGC is much more a core interest for them, and I hate helping MBS

    There is information. A weapons depo and a safe house. There were secondary explosions. This time there were fatalities.

    So Hamas start a war. Hamas is hiding in schools and hospitals and using civilians as human shields. Hamas refuses to release hostages. Hamas is still firing rockets into Israel. Hamas is using schools as weapons depots and ambulance as transportation. Hamas is stealing the aide that is being sent in… and it’s us that is causing the issues?

    What do you think Iran did with much of the $150 billion+ that Obama gave them, and the $6 billion Biden game them? All Dem's in support for terrorism.

    $56 billion or $150 billion either way Obama gave money to that terrorist exporting county of Iran. And giving that terrorists organization controlling that country did not earn nor own that cash to begin with. It belongs to all the people of Iran. not the terrorist that took over that country in 1979.

    PolitiFact - Donald Trump says Iran got $150 billion and $1.8 billion in cash. That's Half True

    Might as well be given we've given massive aid to Israeli governments who've propped them up

    I have no idea, but America is the world's biggest arms dealer and funds 'terrorism' (a word that has no real meaning).

    Exactly! Obama and Biden have and dis and still do fund and sell weapons to Iran and other terrorist nations that get funneled directly to terrorists. Tell us again what happened to 20p% of American Uranium ore? Who controls that percentage? And yes, several barrels of semi-refined yellow-cake Uranium ore did disappear into Europe and probably made it's way to Iran.

    America has sold client states weapons and funded terrorism for a long time. I mean Reagan sold arms to the Iranians to fund death squads committing terrorism in Nicaragua. The Contras did everything Hamas is accused of. We love terrorists if they are on our side!

    Interesting. Curious whether there is further detailed reporting on the issue to resolve the particulars

    My favorite example of "terrorists" only being those you disagree with is former NY Congressman Peter King:

    Republican Congressman Peter King of New York defended a hearing he'll hold tomorrow titled "The Extent of Radicalization in the American Muslim Community and that Community's Response." Muslim and liberal groups are saying it unfairly vilifies Muslims in the U.S.


    NY Congressman Defends Muslim-Focused Terrorism Hearing

    King began actively supporting the Irish republican movement in the late 1970s. He frequently traveled to Northern Ireland to meet with senior members of the paramilitary group, the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA), many of whom he counted as friends.[38][63] King compared Gerry Adams, the leader of Sinn Féin, the political wing of the Irish republican movement, to George Washington, and said that the "British government is a murder machine".[64] King met Adams in person in 1984.[65]

    King became involved with Irish Northern Aid (NORAID), an organization that the British, Irish, and U.S. governments had accused of financing IRA activities and providing them with weapons.[38][66][67][68] Regarding the IRA's violent campaign against British rule in Northern Ireland, King said, "If civilians are killed in an attack on a military installation, it is certainly regrettable, but I will not morally blame the IRA for it."[69]

    King called the IRA "the legitimate voice of occupied Ireland".[70] Speaking at a pro-IRA rally in 1982 in Nassau County, New York, King pledged support to "those brave men and women who this very moment are carrying forth the struggle against British imperialism in the streets of Belfast and Derry."[38][71] In 1985, the Irish government boycotted New York's annual St. Patrick's Day celebrations in protest over King serving as Grand Marshal of the event; the Irish government condemned him as an "avowed" supporter of "IRA terrorism".[72] At the parade he again offered words of support for the IRA.[73]

    During the murder trial of an IRA member in the 1980s, a judge in Northern Ireland ejected King from the courtroom, describing King as "an obvious collaborator with the IRA".[38][74]

    Everything is a terror base according to the IDF, bakeries, ambulances, hospitals, apartment blocks, schools what have you. Its really beyond belief for anyone with any sense. They are just turning everything into rubble. If people were this credulous with Hamas propaganda, you'd lose your mind.

    From the poster who has represent spouted Hamas propaganda.
    CNN went on with them into the Childrens hospital. Your problem is that you don’t know the difference between information and propaganda where the information contradicts your anti-Israeli perspective. And you rated post 3272–the post about Hamas using a Childrens hospital for terror— as funny. What is funny about that?

    I feel like the truth is somewhere in between what you post and what Duchen posts.
