The IDF named the slain soldiers as Maj. (res.) Nael Fwarsy, 43, a logistics company commander in the 300th “Baram” Regional Brigade’s 299th Battalion, from Maghar, and Sgt. Tomer Keren, 20, of the Golani Brigade’s 51st Battalion, from Haifa. Fwarsy was killed and another soldier was lightly wounded after an explosive-laden drone launched by Hezbollah struck an area outside Ya’ara in the Western Galilee. Keren was killed and eight other soldiers were wounded, including one seriously, after two anti-tank missiles launched by Hezbollah from Lebanon struck a position in the Ramim Ridge area on the border in the Galilee Panhandle. https://www.timesofisrael.com/at-le...tank-missiles-and-drones-fired-at-north/After Israel completes it's ground operation in Lebanon, I certainly hope that Israel will take enough land to have a proper Buffer Zone from Lebanon and their Terrorist Hezbollah.

Israel is being lammied! Again, there is no equivalence between Democratic Israel and murderous terrorists From: BBC September 19, 2024 UK foreign secretary calls for Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire -- now that ceasefire between Israel and Hamas been achieved.... UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy has called for an immediate ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah. "Tonight I'm calling for an immediate ceasefire from both sides," Lammy tells the Reuters news agency, after meeting his French, American and Italian counterparts for talks in Paris. "We are all very, very clear that we want to see a negotiated political settlement so that Israelis can return to their homes in northern Israel and indeed Lebanese to return to their homes."

- It is hard to think of an attack more calculated to sow fear and confusion -- terrifying in their scope
- Hezbollah members were blown up in supermarkets, on the street, in their cars, at home, next to their children
- At a time when Hezbollah and Israel have been locked in a low-level war for almost a year, these attacks will have devastating consequences for Hezbollah’s manpower, communications and morale
- With large numbers of Hezbollah's personnel now injured and its vital communication network massively - and embarrassingly - disrupted, this would clearly be a tempting moment for Israel to take advantage
“Revenge is a dish best served hot with exploding pagers and walkie-talkies How can you fight such evil? unremitting dedication to the destruction of Israel such multi-pronged, collective terrorism, combined altogether Hit and Run brutal terror from ALL sides of Israel, this tiny nation especially allies hand-cuffing Israel.... and United terrorists Secretary General

World reacts to UN vote calling on Israel to end Palestinian occupationAl Jazeera and news agencies 19 September 2024 Extracts: United Nations General Assembly UNGA resolution, backed by 124 countries -- small potatoes! -- makes it clear that occupation ‘cannot be allowed to continue any longer’ - Palestine’s ambassador to the UN
Palestine’s ambassador to the UN Riyad Mansour called the vote a turning point “in our struggle for freedom and justice” “It sends a clear message that Israel’s occupation must end as soon as possible and that the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination must be realised” Mansour said - Israel’s ambassador to the UN
Israel’s ambassador to the UN Danny Danon slammed the vote as “a shameful decision that backs the Palestinian Authority’s diplomatic terrorism” “Instead of marking the anniversary of the October 7, 2023 massacre by condemning Hamas and calling for the release of all 101 of the remaining hostages, the General Assembly continues to dance to the music of the Palestinian Authority, which backs the Hamas murderers” Danon said Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas welcomed the resolution and urged countries across the world to take steps to pressure Israel to adhere to it “The international consensus over this resolution renews the hopes of our Palestinian people – who are facing a comprehensive aggression and genocide in Gaza and the West Bank including Jerusalem – to achieve its aspirations of freedom and independence and establish a Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital” Abbas said Hamas The Palestinian armed group said it “welcomes the adoption” adding that it reflected “the international community’s solidarity with the Palestinian people’s struggle” Oren Marmorstein, spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said on X that the resolution was “a distorted decision that is disconnected from reality, encourages terrorism and harms the chances for peace” The US mission to the UN called the resolution “one-sided”, pointing to its failure to recognise that Hamas “a terrorist organization” still exerts power in Gaza and that Israel has a right to defend itself “This resolution will not bring about tangible progress for Palestinians” the US said “In fact, it could both complicate efforts to end the conflict in Gaza and impede reinvigorating steps toward a two-state solution, while ignoring Israel’s very real security concerns” European Union foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said in a statement: “The UN General Assembly has forcefully reaffirmed its commitment to the realisation of the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination, including its right to an independent and sovereign State ?living side by side in peace and security with Israel? -- Democratic Israel and murderous terrorists -- in accordance with the relevant resolutions of the UN Security Council and the UN General Assembly” ?!Is EU for real?!

long dominated by countries hostile to Israel -- UN, ICC, ICJ, EU, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch ?!Are they for real?!
and the 'allies' Including Australia, Britain, Canada, Denmark, Germany, India, Italy, Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland and !Ukraine! abstained while 124 voted to demand Israel end Palestinian 'occupation' and some -- while the murderous terrorists keep raining terror on Democratic Israel
French President Macron condemned the bombings, expressing solidarity and sympathy with the people of Lebanon
newly elected British government very speedily dropped, the previous government's opposition to an international arrest warrant against Benjamin Netanyahu despite pressure from Washington not to do so
The list goes on and on....

It seems Israel is winning the battles but no sign of victory of this year long, terror war Unfortunately can't disagree No grounds for disputation.... From: Haaretz September 3, 2024 Extract: It is not Hamas that is collapsing but Israel
“The war’s goals — ‘bringing Hamas to collapse’ and ‘freeing all hostages by military pressure’ — have not been achieved.” Dime a dozen 'Top' terror leaders getting eliminated but not even making a dent.... No let up of the murderous terrorists - Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis and other terror outfits - still raining terror on Israel ONE year on

Extract: : EU and UN leaders are hypocrites at least the USA openly backs Israel no matter what. Israel and the life of the Jewish population continue to be under siege from all kinds of Arab terror dangers as well as from odious, self-serving hypocrisy, double standards and antisemitism As Israel stands alone, Israel [and us] know that the only hope for the nation’s survival, the only Democracy in the Middle East, lays in the hands of the President of the United States -- as was Franklin Delano Roosevelt FDR served as the "great arsenal of democracy" in World War II and saved Europe Israeli Prime Minster Benjamin Netanyahu quoted same in his 25 July 2024 speech to US Congress "give us the tools and we'll finish the job”

In his first televised speech since the unprecedented attacks, which took place over two days and killed at least 37 people, Nasrallah on Thursday called them a “big blow in terms of security and humanity” but said they have failed to bring the group to its knees.
He conceded the attacks were “unprecedented in the history of the resistance movement in Lebanon” as well as “in the history of our country” and “our enemy”.
But Nasrallah said Hezbollah would continue supporting Palestinians in Gaza “no matter what the consequences are, what the sacrifices are, what scenarios will unfold”.
He added that what happened did not impact the group’s command, control or infrastructure. “I reassure you our infrastructure has not been touched,” he said.
“He is down, but he is defiant,” Al Jazeera senior political analyst Marwan Bishara added, referring to the Hezbollah leader. “[But] it’s a major blow to Hezbollah. There is no doubt about that. ”
“But at the same time, there was something that felt ambiguous when he spoke about keeping the accountability or the retaliation within a very small circle. I think he spoke about the investigation within the organisation, within Hezbollah.”
“We have an answer from him that he’s definitely going to come back but without saying when and how,” Analyst Sultan Barakat, a professor of public policy at Hamad Bin Khalifa University in Qatar, told Al Jazeera, adding that the speech aimed to present a “partial win” for Hezbollah.
