Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon have launched a large-scale rocket attack directly on northern Israel.
Last month, Hezbollah terrorists launched a rocket attack on a children’s soccer field in Israel, killing 12 innocent children and wounding many others.
Israel needs to go into Lebanon and take care of HZBLH once and for all.
Why? This is why.

Israel vowed to retaliate, issuing a precision air strike that killed a Hezbollah leader allegedly responsible for the attack.
“Hezbollah is a global terror organization that poses a global threat,” Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari explained in a video posted to X. “Their ongoing aggression and attacks are dragging the region into a wider escalation. While we prefer to resolve hostilities without a wider war, we remain fully prepared for any scenario.”

Israel announced on August 1 that a significant attack had just been launched from Hezbollah into northern Israel, explaining in a post on X that they aren’t just going to blame the terrorist group — as they “hold the Lebanese government responsible for EVERY single Hezbollah rocket fired toward Israel. We will not allow anyone to terrorize the people of Israel.”

The rockets were intercepted by Israel’s Iron Dome.

Israel has since launched a counterattack against the launch site and the surrounding areas in a strong show of force against the terrorists.

As many commentators have noted throughout the ongoing hostilities in the Middle East, while some blame Israel for the ongoing war in Gaza because of a so-called “occupation,” there is no such excuse for Lebanon, these are simply terrorist attacks designed to massacre Israeli civilians.
160 rockets fired from Lebanon 🇱🇧 on Israel 🇮🇱 today.
There is no “occupation” or disputed territories there. The border between Lebanon and Israel is internationally recognized.
Remember this when Israel retaliates soon, and Beirut looks like Gaza…

The hostilities in the region have been escalating in the months since Hamas terrorists’ horrific attack in Israel on October 7, 2023, which left more than a thousand people dead, thousands more wounded, and hundreds kidnapped and tortured by Hamas.
Terror-supporting countries throughout the Middle East, especially Iran, have celebrated these attacks and even aided the terrorists in committing them. Israel also reportedly targeted a Hamas leader inside Iran’s capital city of Tehran, further angering the terrorist-supporting country.
Former IDF Spokesperson, Lt. Col. (Ret.) @jconricus, told me who the mastermind is behind all of Israel’s conflicts: “We are fighting Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, the Yemenites, the Houthis, Palestinians, and Iran. And the common denominator here is that it all emanates from Iran. pic.twitter.com/Y7P3VTBxaV

It is unclear at the moment how far this conflict will escalate, and whether it will end up pulling the United States and other countries into a third World War, but it appears that tensions are only going to rise in the near future.
