The term 'assassination' seems a little inappropriate to a strike that destroys 4 buildings and kills countless other people, but such is the reality of the Israeli/western way of war

Mercouris with his colleague on yt’s channel “smalltownvoice” is simply dazzling at time — and less elliptical than he can be at times. The pov is similar, but not identical, to his Duran perspective which makes it required watching.

Also, Lebanon has not had sovereignty since Hezboallah took over. So the youth of Lebanon may be glad to be as glad to be rid of them as their parents are.

The way I heard it, Israel did not have access to the US bunker busters. They, instead, used a less powerful series of bombs rigged to detonate at certain times, which would chip away at the superficial layers, until deeper layers would be affected. And ultimately Nazralla was not killed by a blast, but suffocated because the area he was in was no longer receiving an air supply. The surface area had more damage than a few bunker busters. And probably more deaths.

I have seen the figure of eighty, as in 80 bombs (large 1000kg ones) dropped on top of the perceived location of the Hezbollah meeting bunker. Man, how many sorties did that take?

Is there a plan where Hezbollah is concealing their anti-aircraft defense until they conduct a counter attack on an overextended Israeli Defense Force incursion into southern Lebanon?

It has been awhile since 2006. The youth now of fighting age were not in battle then. For them and those older, have the intervening years of limited economic opportunity greased the skids for Mossad bribes?

I've long said, ignore Mercouris to your peril! Nima had Prof. Marandi on today. Always interesting... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4WYQpF80nY
