A surgical #Israeli airstrike killed the most senior militant #Hezbollah commander in southern #Lebanon since #Oct7 attacks by #Hamas.

This is the second #extraterritorial #terrorist #assassination by #Israel in this conflict.

The previous one was the surgical killing of Hamas’ deputy political leader Saleh #Arouri in Beirut last week.

Hezbollah rockets hit a sensitive air traffic base in what it said was an #initialResponse to Arouri's killing.

After #Iraq failed to #rein in the #militia amid attacks against #US embassy & personnel, US killed Mushtaq Jawad Kazim #AlJawari, leader of an #IranBacked terrorist group in a precision #extraterritorial strike inside Iraq similar to that #Israel used in #Arouri's killing inside #Lebanon, even though Iraq itself is not at war with US.

Now Iraq is beginning the process to remove the US-led international #militaryCoalition from Iraq permanently.

7 weeks ago, #Nasrallah denied that #Hezbollah & #Iran had anything to with #Oct7 #Hamas attacks & said Hamas secrecy did NOT "upset anyone" in the #AxisOfResistance

Hezbollah has fought with Israeli forces across #Lebanon-Israel border on almost daily basis since Hamas went to war with Israel

#NasarallahWasCoy in that “All options are on the table” for Hezbollah’s possible military response against Israel even BEFORE the #Arouri killing
