2023-10-17 Syria-Lebanon-Iran
20 rocket launchers, including 4 loaded, found near Israel-Lebanon border
[NYPOST] The Lebanese army said it uncovered 20 rocket launchers near its border with Israel on Monday where Iran-backed Hezbollah has exchanged fire repeatedly with Israeli forces in recent days — stoking fears that the war could spread to a new front.

Four of the rocket launchers were already loaded with missiles and were ready to be fired when they were discovered in the Lebanese border towns of Qalila and al-Sha’iyat, the army said, adding that specialized units had quickly worked to dismantle them.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, meanwhile, also warned the terror group Monday to keep out of the escalating war with Hamas
...the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,...
or pay the price.

The discovery of the missile launchers came as Israel, who is prepped for an imminent ground invasion of Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
in the south to root out Hamas terrorists, started evacuating residents in dozens of villages close to its northern border with Leb
...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
"Don’t test us in the north," Netanyahu said Monday as he threatened Hezbollah and their Iranian backers they would pay a high price if they became embroiled in the war.

"Don’t make the mistake of the past. Today, the price you will pay will be far heavier," he added, referring to Israel’s bitter monthlong war with Hezbollah in 2006.

Since the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas that killed more than 1,400 Israelis, tensions have been on the rise along the Lebanon-Israel border.

The festivities this last week have been the deadliest in the Lebanon border area since the 2006 war.

Hezbollah fighters have already fired anti-tank missiles on Israeli army positions and Israeli troops have retaliated by shelling areas on the Lebanese side of the border.

Israel considers the powerful Iran-backed Shiite bully boy group its most serious immediate threat, estimating that Hezbollah has some 150,000 rockets and missiles aimed at Israel.

Hezbollah’s military media arm said Monday it had also started shooting at and destroying surveillance cameras on five Israeli army posts along the border, including one outside the Israeli town of Metula.
