Aftermath of Israeli strike on southern Beirut suburb | VOA News

Israel killed a top Hezbollah commander and other senior figures in the Lebanese movement in an airstrike on Beirut on Friday.

Coming on the heels of sabotage attacks on communications devices this week that killed 37 people in Hezbollah strongholds, the strike raised new questions about the Iran-backed group's security arrangements and dealt a heavy blow to its fighters' morale.

Hezbollah named the second commander as Ahmed Mahmud Wahbi, saying he had headed the group's operations against Israel from the onset of the Gaza war in October until the start of this year.

AFP journalists said Friday's strike left a massive crater and gutted the lower floors of a high-rise building.

They are deleting comments guys… silencing true voices gross

[pulldpin]

I wonder if they can buy bomb insurance on their cars over there?

[joseisrael]

I only wish that innocent people were immune to the horrors of the evil of both sides. Why must innocent people suffer. Why must we as humans be so hateful? Why must we endure this madness. I pray God unleash his wrath on the evil of this world and shield those that are of a benevolent heart.

[Ebostic]

They shouldn't have poked the sleeping bear!!

[AllenOlesen]

Can Lebanon become the new Gaza for the Palestinians?

[nghngh]

Every action has severe consequences. I pray for peace around the world.

[charlestravis]

There is no land native to Palestinians for the very name means “wanderer” or “nomad”

[stevenStampper]

Just deserts were never more appropriately served.

Are we supposed to have sympathy for them? No.

War exists because the universe is made up of two opposing forces: reception and bestowal. When these forces do not enter into a balance, then they short circuit and try to destroy each other. That mutual effort of each side to eliminate the other is war.

The root cause of war is in the clash of these opposite forces of nature: reception and bestowal. That clash of spiritual forces gives rise to wars that unfold in our material world.

Therefore, stopping war at its source requires developing a regulating sense that has the ability to bestow above our innate force of reception, which are our self-serving desires that aim solely at absorbing into ourselves. In the language of Kabbalah, that bestowing sense is called a “screen” (Heb. “Masach”). Through this new regulating sense, we can acquire a state of positive and balanced human connection.

That is the key to a war-free, harmonious and peaceful existence.
