All choices have consequences. Hezbollah chose to stand by their Iranian paymaster and wage war against Israel in support of fellow catspaw Hamas. Think of it as learning experience — if y’all are smart enough to actually learn. [IsraelTimes] strong>Health workers report harrowing scenes from operating rooms after massive attacks, while anti-Hezbollah camp raises voice against escalation, calling on Nasrallah to ‘climb down’
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...
’s private medical facilities, which house 85% of all hospital beds in the country, are at full capacity following last week’s attacks on communication devices held by Hezbollah members, Sleiman Haroun, president of Lebanon’s Syndicate of Private Hospitals, has said.
Haroun told the anti-Hezbollah news outlet "This is Beirut" during the weekend that hospitals would be unable to handle additional pressure for at least three weeks, as many of those injured require intensive care and multiple surgeries.
Are there any pagers or cell phones or internet-of-things devices — or batteries — in the hospitals? Just asking for a friend. On Sunday, Israel’s Channel 12 news quoted unnamed foreign security sources as saying the attacks were deemed successful due to the high number of injuries they caused, which placed immense strain on Lebanon’s healthcare system, increasing domestic pressure on Hezbollah.
Israel has not taken responsibility for the attacks but is widely seen as being behind them.
Though the extent and gravity of the thousands of injuries sustained in the attacks remain unclear, the impact on Lebanon’s health system has been undeniable.
Haroun warned that if tensions on the Israel-Lebanon border escalate into a full-scale conflict, Lebanon’s hospitals would struggle to manage another influx of maimed.
He compared the current situation to the aftermath of the Beirut port explosion in 2020, which killed over 200 people and injured 7,000. However,
a poor excuse is better than no excuse at all...
he said injuries from the recent attacks are generally far more severe, with most victims requiring hospitalization rather than just emergency room care.
Beirut’s Health Ministry has pledged to cover the costs of treating all the injured, promising to disburse funds from the $11 million allocated by the government to deal with the aftermath of the attacks. However,
a poor excuse is better than no excuse at all...
the outlet pointed out that the cash-strapped government had made similar promises following the 2020 port explosion, but those medical bills remain unpaid.
Lebanese health workers are said to be grappling with the severe nature of many of the injuries, performing complex surgeries to restore faces and limbs. This is Beirut detailed harrowing scenes inside operating rooms, with medical professionals "reconstructing disfigured faces, saving eyes, restoring lips and noses, and repairing shredded skin and muscles."
"In some cases, the entire face was gone," said an unnamed eye specialist, while adding that "collateral victims" were often as gravely injured as the device owners.
Reports of shocking disfigurements have also been corroborated by Lebanese doctors interviewed by The New York Times
...which still proudly claims Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...
, who described gruesome injuries: "Eyes blown out of their sockets. Faces torn to pieces by burning shards of plastic. Hands and fingers so mangled that doctors had no choice but to amputate them."
Frissons for everyone in the newsroom! Pierre Mardelli, an eye doctor quoted by the newspaper, said he was forced to suture eye wounds without anesthesia. He said the blast seemed to have targeted the eyes of device owners, as pagers sent out error messages for long moments, which would encourage their owners to examine them, before they went kaboom! HEZBOLLAH UNDER PRESSURE
Since October 8, Hezbollah-led forces have attacked Israeli communities and military posts along the border on a near-daily basis, with the group saying it is doing so to support 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 ...
amid the war there.
On Thursday Hezbollah leader His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah
...The satrap of the Medes and the Persians in Leb...>
said the week’s twin attacks on the organization’s devices "could be seen as a declaration of war," accusing Israel of using them to mask its failure to achieve a military breakthrough against the terror group.
Oh no, dear boy. Your first battery of rockets shot at northern Israel on October 8th was the declaration of war. This is just what it looks like when Israel wages war seriously.
