Rocket sirens sound in northern West Bank for second time since war, just five days after previous attack; large interception fragments cause damage in Palestinian town of Huwara, south of Nablus
The Israeli army carried out an airstrike on Hezbollah’s central command in southern Beirut on Friday, killing its longtime leader, Hassan Nasrallah, along with approximately 300 people, including other members of the group.
I mean, that’s obviously still a really successful strike, but you’re talking maybe an order of magnitude fewer people.
They had it in the middle of a residential neighborhood and figured they were safe. To bad the psychos at the head of the Israeli government don’t give a fuck
It’s interesting that they call the Israeli government psychos and not those hiding behind civilians in a residential neighborhood… especially given that the letter behavior is specifically done to be able to make accusations of the former.
Well it does mention the Hezbollah hiding among civilians without any notation there, so it kinda reads like “how dare these crazies fire at the terrorists hiding behind civilian shields” (without noting the terrorist part and kinda brushing over the civilian shields).
Yeah, because just mentioning someone using civilians as a shield is on its own bad enough. Anyone with half a brain cell would understand that’s bad without the need for specifically pointing it out.
Hmm. I haven’t been following it, but was Hezbollah really that centralized? It seems like a super-bad idea if you’re aiming to fight guerrilla war.
EDIT: This says ~300:

The 3000 plus were from the exploding pager and walkie-talkies.
Ah, okay, fair enough.

One does not necessarily exclude the other. Just because they called one group psychos does not mean they don’t feel the same for the other group.

Both sides are pretty despicable in this conflict
