IDF: 9 troops hurt, including 1 seriously, while evacuating wounded man from church hit by Hezbollah
[IsraelTimes] The IDF says nine soldiers were maimed, one of them seriously, in an anti-tank guided missile attack in Shomera in northern Israel, after arriving to evacuate a civilian maimed in an earlier Hezbollah attack against a church.

Hezbollah fired a missile from 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...
at the Greek Orthodox Church of Iqrit, moderately wounding a civilian in his 80s.

As troops arrived to evacuate the maimed man, Hezbollah fired additional missiles, wounding nine soldiers.

One was listed at death's door, while the other eight were listed in good-to-moderate condition.

The IDF says it targeted a Hezbollah site in Lebanon, as well as a building to which the operative who launched the missile at the church fled.


The IDF says Hezbollah also fired a missile from near a mosque in southern Lebanon’s Yaroun at the Dovev area in northern Israel.

"This is further proof of Hezbollah’s cynical exploitation of Lebanese civilians and holy sites for its terrorist activity," the IDF says.

Projectiles were also fired at the Yiftah and Mount Dov areas on the border. The IDF says it is shelling the launch sites with artillery.

I expect a, no holds barred, condemnation from the Pope.
