Explosion hits Beirut suburb as Israel says it has 'targeted' Hezbollah commander | BBC News

At least one explosion has hit a southern suburb of the Lebanese capital, Beirut, which is a base for the Iranian-backed Lebanese group Hezbollah.

Israel's army said it has carried out a strike, which it said targeted the Hezbollah commander responsible for a deadly attack in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights on Saturday.

Israel blamed Hezbollah for that strike - the group has denied involvement - and an Israeli reaction had been expected following the incident over the weekend.

The one-sided reporting concerning Israel versus Hezbolla, Houthis and Gaza has become sickening.

The U.N. ordered Hezbollah out of Lebanon 20 years ago. Why are they there?

There is no such thing as Palestine:

1. British mandate, not Palestine.
2. Turkish Empire
3. Malmuks
4. Kurdish-Arab
5. Franks and the Christian Kingdom of Jerusalem ruled there
6. Kingdom of the Fatimids and Umayyads ruled there
7. Before the Fatimids and Umayyad, the Byzantine Empire ruled there
8. Before that, Sassanids ruled there
9. Before Byzantium
10. Romans with
11. Hasmonenes
12. Seleucids
13.Alexander
14. Persia
15. Babylon
16. Israel and Judea
17. Before Israel and Judea there was no kingdom there
18. Before the Kingdom of Israel there was only theocracy and 12 tribes
19. Before this theocracy there was the theocracy of the twelve tribes of Israel,
there were city-states of Canaan.

„Palestinian“ was a word used by Romans for the Jews 3.000 years ago. It never was or has been a real state.

It’s basically an Iran Hamas proxy. They had billions of dollars but didn’t want to build schools and infrastructure, they spent it on rockets fired at Israel.

Furthermore Israel is the only country in the region where Muslims Jews and Christians live happy together and peaceful. Jordan also made peace.

The all-time, best-selling book has been read by too few. Thank God, we know how this mess ends! Israel's enemies are God's enemies, and they will pay. Come quickly Lord Jesus!

I find it peculiar everytime Israel bombs something, the press is always giving us very detailed information/intelligence why it was targeted, and if anything bombed within Israel its always innocent civilians.

[deechey]
