nullagentToday 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.
Hours earlier Benjamin Netanyahu spoke in NYC at the UN (how is this guy allowed to walk free?).
He claimed again that all Lebanese people have ballistic missiles in their kitchens.
To be fair, there was hardly anyone other than press who stuck around for Bibi's genocide justification speech.
But its also pretty sad that the best the UN can do is walk out of a speech given by a war criminal.
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.
The resistance axis has today confirmed the martyrdom of Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.
He was killed when the 6 apartment buildings were bombed with bunker busting bombs.

This reporter captures the general vibes I'm seeing in Hezbollah posts and general social media from Beirut today.
Which is to say if this was meant to some how lower the risk of all out war between Israel and Hezbollah this seems not to be effective.
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.
Al Jazeera has live arabic coverage at the Lebanese border. Moments ago they could hear Israeli jets bombing Lebanese army positions.

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.
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.
This Bloomberg article from last week has a very analytical view of the looming invasion of Lebanon.

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.
There are reports of massive volleys of missiles and drones impacting military targets all around Tel Aviv.
This video is from just outside of Nevatim Air Base, where US arms shipments to the IOF are received.
The strikes were so large they were easily visible from Gaza and the West Bank.
Dudula the Dud@nullagent Bibi wants casualties. It'll make it easier to manufacture consent for further attacks.
