The Israelis took out Nasrallah Friday. The Wall Street Journal reported yesterday:
Israel killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah with a massive airstrike on Beirut’s southern suburbs Friday, flattening part of a neighborhood to eliminate the cleric who led the group for three decades and built it into a fearsome foe.
The strike was Israel’s most aggressive move yet in two weeks of elaborate intelligence operations, targeted killings and bombardments aimed at stopping the U.S.-designated terrorist group from attacking across the Lebanese border into Israel.
Nasrallah’s death is an enormous blow not only to the group he led but also to its main backer, Iran, and the network of aligned militias that Tehran has built across the Middle East to confront Israel. It is also the strongest signal yet that Hezbollah has been penetrated by Israeli intelligence.
Senior officials from Hezbollah and Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps were also at the site, people familiar with the matter said. Israel’s military said the strike also killed Ali Karaki, a Hezbollah commander whom Israel targeted earlier this week. Rest of article.
It was about damn time . May the bastard burn in hell. Erick Erickson summed it up nicely in his newsletter Friday:
Growing up overseas, our school was only a few blocks from the beach. We could see the Persian Gulf from the third floor windows. Our school, the Jumeirah American School, was funded mostly by the oil company my father worked for, Dubai Petroleum Company.
The school was very cosmopolitan. While most of the kids were Americans, I went to school with Swedes, Chinese, British, Pakistani, Indians, Singaporeans, French, Canadians, Australians, Brazilians, etc.
One day, in fifth grade, I was in science class with Mr. Bruskas and the other fifth grade teacher came in. She whispered in his ear. She passed him a piece of paper. He adjourned the lesson and told us to pack up our stuff because we were going to the field.
The school had a huge field. In first grade, it was covered in sand. By third grade, it was landscaped, irrigated, and turned into an American football field. Now, in fifth grade, it would serve as base of operations for a departure strategy. We were evacuating.
School officials had reason to believe a group called Hezbollah intended to blow up the school and kill us.
Several days later, when we returned to school, guards were stationed at each entrance. They would inspect all our stuff — even opening our lunch bags to check out the sandwiches. Down the road, in Abu Dhabi, the kids there got to witness a tank parked outside and even more armed operations.
Our class trips, which always were to other countries, were canceled. Security became an issue.
Today, the man who tried to kill me has, himself, been killed. Hassan Nasrallah is dead.
My friends from Lebanon who I grew up with are beside themselves with joy. Nasrallah took a city, once called the Paris of the Mediterranean, and turned it into a war zone. Hezbollah is a fundamentally evil organization. It has killed more Arabs than any other entity. It has killed Jews and Americans. So many of my friends growing up were refugees from Iran and their Hezbollah puppets.
Nasrallah and his minion orchestrated the execution of American Marines in Beirut and the United States never hunted him. Israel has done what we did not.
Good riddance. The fires of hell give me comfort here. Nazrallah may have departed this world, but he cannot depart the next. The pain of his final seconds in this world will only be the beginning for him. But others now have justice.

Dear nutjob whose comments I don't approve: All you're doing is making a fool of yourself and wasting your time. They are pretty funny actually. It's particularly funny when you speak in gibberish.
"Senior officials from Hezbollah and Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps were also at the site."
And recently a top Hamas commander was killed in Tehran. All roads, it seems, lead back to Iran.
KF, thank you for not posting the anti-Sematic diatribes.
May each and every islamofascist puppet of Iran burn in a hell that is hotter than the fire of a thousand suns.
KF you are a true fiend of the Jewish people! A regular Oskar Schindler!
"Nasrallah and his minion[s] orchestrated the execution of American Marines in Beirut and the United States never hunted him." Why not? Was the Marine barracks bombing not an act of war against the U.S.?
As I read somewhere yesterday, "Iran is prepared to fight down to the last Lebanese!"
Another one bites the dust, done in by Washington and its weaponsmakers.
Remember when we took out Bin Laden and Al Qaeda splintered into even more radical and brutal groups?
Hizballah is more of a paramilitary organization than AQ is. As for that comment about weapons makers, Nasrallah had it coming. How many Marines has Hizballah killed? If you oppose his killing, the blood of the 241 Marines is on your hands.
I’ve been to Israel. It’s a shithole. Certainly not worth dying for.
11:02, Go tell that to the Muslim Brotherhood.
AP reported about 6 hours ago “Biden calls for 'a cease-fire now' amid Israel's strikes in Lebanon” says “comfortable with them stopping we should have a ceasefire now,” then walks out.
DailyMail reporting now Breaking News “Israel goes in: IDF confirms boots on the ground in southern Lebanon as bombs rain down from the sky after day of ratcheting tensions”
“It came after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a stark warning to Iran, whom Hamas and Hezbollah are both backed by. He said: 'There is nowhere in the Middle East Israel cannot reach. There is nowhere we will not go to protect our people and protect our country.”
Let’s let Israel do what chicken s__t Biden Harris could never do.
I have been to Israel twice for extended stays. I loved it there. It has beauty, history and freedom.
On my last extended trip to Israel, we took break to visit Petra in Jordan. While Petra is impressive to see, I was so glad to get out of Jordan that I kissed the ground when I got back into Israel. I've always heard Jordan was one of the best Muslim countries to visit. I have no plans to ever return as Jordan was awful. I was so happy to get back to Israel.
I suspect 90% of Mississippi Republicans agree with Kingfish's opinion on the issue, which is why anti-war Republicans who supported Trump in 2016 and helped him win the electoral votes of PA, MI, and WI will stay home this year and allow Kamala to win.
