The top guy eliminated, Ibrahim aquil, was responsible for 300 deaths of American and French servicemen in 1983…why did he get to live for so long?

There wouldn't be a red line if you weren't attacking a country that's not provoking you.

[eddiecardona]

Now they need to go after the ones funding them

[TubeFlexMedia]

"Killing 37 people" OR "Killing 37 people of which 33 are suspected enemy combatants who launch missiles into Israel"

[T.Chopper_]

This is what you got for being an aggressor and messing with Israel. For God's sake, just leave Israel in peace.

How do you commit a war crime against a terrorist organisation? Terrorism is by definition a war crime in itself.

By knocking out their communications it forced them to meet in person and team blue was waiting. Team yellow really isn't good at this

[EdTex]

IDF is offering free replacement for those defective devices

Mossad designation..."Operation Nutcraker"

[MinaSchwartz-ls]

Israel is fed up ...now we mean business !! Don't mess with Israel !!

[ktmualem]

How is Israel "escalating"??? Are the more than 8, 000 rockets that have been launched into Israel (civilian areas) not an escalation? It is crazy that journalists don't mention escalation when Israel is attacked but the minute Israel strikes back, the word escalation is quickly brought up.

Israel is the only decent country in the entire middle East, from my own experience

[RobertSeemann]

You called down the thunder, and now you have it! History is not on your side. Israel always comes out on top.

[allandresner]

It’s war! don’t complain about how team blue gets its wins. why don’t you talk about the hostages? about the 1000s of rockets being sent into Israel from the north?

[KingdomIsNow]

The Iranian citizens are dancing in the streets, backing Israel all the way. They absolutely hate their terrorist regime. Life was great under the Shah.

[Squeaks-ii]

I think it is funny to hear from others (terrorists) saying we will not let this terror continue. Terrorists calling this terror. Kinda strange

[oneeggatatime]

New Zealand Christians stand with ISRAEL

[thisislaflaretv]

This whole situation is a mess. But i must say Isreal has gotten real " active"

[normanwhite]

Israel still offering free pagers replacement for the survivors.

[pickititllneverheal]

Those who says violence is never the answer have obviously never had to defend themselves.
