Netanyahu tells Israel ‘We are at war’ after Hamas launches an unprecedented attack, killing at leas

^^^reminds me of Sheriff Grady Judd's quote:

"Sheriff, why was the suspect shot 59 times?"

"We ran out of bullets".

 

Reader context at the bottom said all these videos are from Gaza not Lebanon. Still not sure how they got those shots but it would make more sense in Gaza.

 

…and to gather more intel on where the remaining roaches scramble to hide.

IDF invades Southern Lebanon:

Israeli Forces Have Invaded Lebanon (townhall.com)

Lebanon Army withdraws from the border wanting no part of taking on the IDF.

Hezbollah is alone in their advanced positions facing the IDF unless they have withdrawn to the cities wanting to draw the IDF into urban warfare. I'm not so sure that is a good idea as Israel has proven they can handle urban warfare in the IDF taking of Rafah:

We have reports that Israeli forces have invaded Lebanon. It was a military operation many observers foresaw even in the immediate stages of the ground war in Gaza after the October 7 attacks. The rocket attacks from Hezbollah have led to an internal displacement crisis within Israel.

For months, it was assumed that at some point, Israel would have to invade Lebanon. It couldn’t come at a better time: the terror group’s entire leadership was decapitated in a massive airstrike last week. Hassan Nasrallah and his minions were turned into an ashtray, and his replacement was killed hours after he assumed control of the terror group.

The ground operations come after Israel conducted limited cross-border raids for intelligence purposes. The primary goal is overrun Hezbollah positions from which they've launched endless rocket attacks for months.

 

Not sure if this is new thread worthy, but Iran supposedly just attacked Israel with dozens of ballistic missiles. Looks like only a few were intercepted.

Iran has launched a ballistic missile attack on Israel

 

Israel will in turn retaliate against Iran. We shall see how far this spirals.

 

I would not want to be in the Iran leadership right now.

Israel's Netanyahu says Iran made a big mistake and will pay (msn.com)

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Iran's missile attack on Israel failed and vowed retaliation.

"Iran made a big mistake tonight - and it will pay for it," he said at the outset of a political-security meeting. "The regime in Iran does not understand our determination to defend ourselves and our determination to retaliate against our enemies."

 

Israel responds to UN demand for ceasefire:

There will be consequences…We will respond wherever, whenever and however we choose, in accordance with the directive of the government of Israel.” Watch IDF Spokesperson RAdm. Daniel Hagari regarding Iran’s large-scale https://t.co/A8pyC7eawI" / X (twitter.com)

 

Apparently a number of missiles did impact although nowhere near a majority of the 180 or so. Retaliation by Israel is a virtual certainty.
Videos verified by The Times show missiles exploding across Israel.

Videos from across Israel show dozens of missiles launched from Iran exploding on Tuesday evening, according to a New York Times analysis. The Israeli military said that Iran had fired about 180 missiles. While some were intercepted by Israeli air defense, several hit locations in Israel, the videos show.

The Times has verified social media videos of explosions in Tel Aviv, along with the aftermath. Two clips capture explosions near the headquarters of Mossad, Israel’s intelligence service, on the northern outskirts of Tel Aviv. Another verified clip shows a damaged restaurant in the city.

Videos also show missiles exploding in other parts of Israel. In Ramat Gan, east of Tel Aviv, a video filmed outside a shopping mall shows two missiles falling toward the ground, at least one of which explodes on impact. Farther south, in Gedera, a crater was left in the grounds of an elementary school.

A video taken from the Western Wall in Jerusalem and published by the Israeli military shows about a dozen missiles in the distance. It is unclear where those missiles were heading.

Iranian missiles also rained on the Israeli air base of Nevatim, in the Negev desert in the south of the country. In one video, at least nine apparent missile explosions are visible. In the immediate aftermath of the barrage of missiles, there were no reports of casualties in Israel. One Palestinian man was killed by falling shrapnel in the occupied West Bank. Missile remnants seen in videos and photographs suggest Iran used some of its most advanced weaponry in the attack.

Message exchange between Ayatollah Khamenei and Speaker of Israel's Knesset:

Speaker of Israel's Knesset Sends Blunt Message to Ayatollah Khamenei About What Is Coming Next – RedState

Ayatollah Khamenei: "With God's help, the blows of the uprising front will become stronger and more painful on the worn and rotting body of the Zionist regime," the Ayatollah said, with typical nasty fervor.

Speaker Amir Ohana: "Say hello to the end," Ohana declared, responding to him in Persian.

 

Diplomacy breaking down, war looks inevitable now.

If ever there was a time for cool heads, this is it.

 

No question that Israel will retaliate against Iran. Question is what will that action look like and will Iran counter that in a way that leads to an escalation or will it resemble what happened earlier this year? Iran has to know what Israel is capable of and unless they are suicidal, they have to know an all out war will not end well for them. That said an all our war will be bad for everyone, even beyond that region.
A wildcard are Iran's homies in Russia, North Korea, and elsewhere.

 

Fact Check ?

 

What is meant by “ all out war” ?

 

It's one confirmed screw up after another for the Biden/Harris administration:

Israeli Amb. to U.N.: U.S., World Need Stronger Sanctions on Iran, 'We Feel the Results' of Iran Having 'So Much Money' (breitbart.com)

The democratic administration ended Trump's sanctions on Iran resulting in Iran having the money to make war against Israel.

Israeli Amb. to U.N.: U.S., World Need Stronger Sanctions on Iran, ‘We Feel the Results’ of Iran Having ‘So Much Money’

On Wednesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Outnumbered,” Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon stated that it’s crucial that the United States, along with other democracies, “will impose sanctions, crippling sanctions against Iran, because today they have so much money to spend on their proxies, and we feel the results. We are being attacked from all fronts, from…Lebanon, from Gaza, from Yemen, from Iran,” and these attacks are an attack against Western Civilization as a whole.

Danon stated, “What happened last night was unprecedented, the attack against Israel, 200 ballistic missiles. We will retaliate. We will not wait for anyone else. It will be painful for Iran. I said it very clearly in the Security Council, I told the Iranian ambassador, you will pay a price for what you did. I think it’s important that the U.S. and other democracies will also — will impose sanctions, crippling sanctions against Iran, because today they have so much money to spend on their proxies, and we feel the results. We are being attacked from all fronts, from…Lebanon, from Gaza, from Yemen, from Iran, and it’s an attack, not only against Israel, it’s an attack against Western Civilization.”
