49.5% of the voters voted for the current government.

Which “progressive” government did Israel have in the last 30 years?
Barak and especially Rabin’s government stopped the settlements.
Olmert had the “realignment plan”, which was shelved due to the 2nd Lebanon war.

Sounds like they hit some missile manufacturing facilities. Hopefully they also hit some drone facilities.
Less missiles and drones for Russia’s attacks on Ukraine and for the Iranian militias’ attacks on the Kurds in Syria and Iraq.

Edit: Seems like they did also hit drone facilities. Less Shahed drones for Russia.

A weaker Hezbollah/Iran and Russia in Syria will also weaken Assad.
Good for both the Syrians and the Kurds.
The Kurds will have an easier time against Turkey’s attacks this way.

Russia and Turkey have been bombing in Syria for many years now. Turkey has also been bombing for years in Iraq.
None of this is actually new.

I assume the drone that took the video exploded moments later, killing Sinwar.

…leading to a gunfight during which Sinwar escaped into a ruined building.

…tank shells and a missile were also fired at the building.

It’s a Lebanese paper founded in Beirut by Lebanese.

I agree it’s more complicated, but it doesn’t change what I wrote.
A weaker Iran means a weaker Russia and vice versa.
If both are weakened, Assad is weakened.
But I guess it’s not as clear cut with Turkey. Although the Kurds will have an easier time when they won’t have to fight Iranian, Syrian and Russian forces along with Turkish ones. And a weakening of Iran will also weaken Iranian-affiliated Iraqi militias that are also attacking Kurds.

Russia didn’t let Israel, one of their bases were shot at for 40 minutes straight as a warning.
They also got a bunch of other warnings before and after. Russia won’t waste their time on this when they’re already losing so much in the war with Ukraine.

Both Russia and Iran helped Assad in the civil war.

Israel is allied with Azerbaijan because of their border with Iran.

Turkey was already assisting Hamas even before. They’ll keep trade with Israel behind the scenes for economic reasons like they’ve always done.
And at the moment Russia is assisting Turkey in bombing the Kurds.

The dentals match. They compared it to the xrays they had of when he was treated in an Israeli prison.
But I guess they want to be 100% sure with the DNA test.

Nope, he was always in Gaza.
Mousa abu Marzouk and Khaled Mashaal are the ones in Qatar (and previously, Haniyeh).

Hopefully we will also see their ally Russia dismantled in the coming year.
All which might cause the weakening of Turkish forces in Syria and the demise of Assad.

The only reported fatality was a Palestinian man who was killed when a rocket hit the West Bank town of Jericho.

Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said Iran fired 170 drones, more than 30 cruise missiles and more than 120 ballistic missiles.

In Reuters they reported the following:

Pentagon spokesperson Major General Patrick Ryder:
…
Iran’s attack was about twice the scope of Tehran’s attack on Israel on April 14

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said they used hypersonic ‘Fattah’ missiles ‘for the first time’ in attack on Israel, Iranian state TV reports

“A Palestinian worker from Gaza was reportedly killed as a result of fragments of rockets that fell in the city of Jericho in the West Bank”

There are reports about this being coordinated by Iran, which has been recruiting for a while now for this attack and possibly more.
But not from known sources, so we’ll have to wait for other ones.

Probably similar to the way they tried recruiting several months ago https://archive.md/OC1fk (Haaretz)

It will mostly be Patriot, David’s Sling and Arrow according to the Wikipedia article on their defense systems.
I think Barak is mostly for Navy assets?

The alternative is the libertarian socialist AANES (Rojava).

Those people came from other areas to chant in support of Hezbollah in areas where there’s no support for Hezbollah.

Why are you so sure these people didn’t support Hezbollah before?

I understood the point you were trying to make, hence my reply.
All those things are examples for how Hezbollah hasn’t protected Lebanon, but quite the opposite.
Without Hezbollah, Lebanon could’ve been in a much better place now.

They’re a big part of the reason Lebanon is in the bad state it is in right now.
They’ve been executing critics and opposition for years. The ammo depot explosion was also devastating.
Their assassination of Lebanon’s prime minister.
Shooting rockets at Israel since the 8th of October against the Lebanese government’s wishes.
And their continued assistance of Assad alongside Russia in butchering Syrians, which was/is not in the interest of Lebanon.
