Day 3: IDF continues deadly work cleaning up Hezbollah after Nasrallah confirmed dead yesterday
|
IDF says launchers among dozens of Hezbollah sites hit overnight
Overnight, Israeli fighter jets struck dozens of Hezbollah targets in Lebanon, the IDF says. The targets included rocket launchers aimed at Israel and buildings used by Hezbollah, including where it stored weapons, according to the military. It releases footage of some of the strikes.
Trump whisperer Kushner says Israel must be allowed to finish off Hezbollah
Former president Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, an ex-White House senior adviser, says Israel must be allowed to finish off Hezbollah after assassinating its leader Hassan Nasrallah on Friday, rejecting calls for a ceasefire which have been voiced by the Biden administration.
“Anyone who has been calling for a ceasefire in the north is wrong. There is no going back for Israel. They cannot afford now to not finish the job and completely dismantle the arsenal that has been aimed at them. They will never get another chance,” Kushner tweets in rare public comments.
The post is quickly retweeted by former ambassador to Israel David Friedman, who is likely to seek a spot in the administration, as well as Wyoming Senator John Barrosso, senior Fox News analyst Brit Hume and and other influential Trump-world voices. Kushner has said he doesn’t plan to return to the White House if his father-in-law is re-elected, but his voice still has weight among Trump backers, if not the Republican candidate for president.
In the lengthy X post, Kushner brands September 27 — the date Israel killed Nasrallah — as “the most important day in the Middle East since the Abraham Accords breakthrough.”
“Iran is now fully exposed. The reason why their nuclear facilities have not been destroyed, despite weak air defense systems, is because Hezbollah has been a loaded gun pointed at Israel. Iran spent the last forty years building this capability as its deterrent,” he argues.
“Israel now finds itself with the threat from Gaza mostly neutralized and the opportunity to neutralize Hezbollah in the north. It’s unfortunate how we got here but maybe there can be a silver lining in the end,” Kushner continues.
He argues that with Hezbollah and Iran reeling, “failing to take full advantage of this opportunity to neutralize the threat is irresponsible.”
“The right move now for America would be to tell Israel to finish the job. It’s long overdue. And it’s not only Israel’s fight,” Kushner adds, noting that Hezbollah has the blood of hundreds Americans on its hands.
Jordan says rocket fired from Lebanon lands outside Amman
The Jordanian army says a grad rocket from southern Lebanon fell this evening in an uninhabited desert area near Muwaqqar, a town southeast of Amman. No people were hurt in the attack and there was no damage, it says in a statement. Muwaqqar is about 160 kilometers (100 miles) from the Lebanese border.
Earlier, the Israel Defense Forces said a missile fired from Lebanon landed in the West Bank near Jerusalem, marking what appeared to be the deepest rocket fire carried out by Hezbollah since intense fighting began earlier this month.
IDF: Missile from Lebanon lands in West Bank, sparking fire, causing power outages; none hurt
The IDF says that the missile launched from Lebanon this evening impacted in the West Bank, close to Jerusalem. Local authorities say that the missile struck an open area, sparking a fire and causing power outages in several nearby settlements. The Fire and Rescue Service says it is working to extinguish a fire near the Mitzpe Hagit outpost, sparked by the missile impact. There are no injuries in the attack.
Lebanese media reports additional Israeli strike in Beirut’s Dahiyeh
Lebanese media report a new Israeli strike in the Dahiyeh suburb of Beirut. Numerous IDF strikes have been carried out in the Hezbollah stronghold in the southern suburbs of the Lebanese capital today, since the killing of Hezbollah’s chief Hassan Nasrallah yesterday.
Meanwhile, a Lebanese security source says an Israeli strike targeted a warehouse near Beirut airport, Lebanon’s only international passenger facility. AFP live footage showed smoke billowing from the area near the runway after the strike.
UNHCR: 200,000 internally displaced inside Lebanon, 50,000 fled into Syria
Over 50,000 people have crossed into Syria from Lebanon since Israel intensified its airstrikes in various regions of the country, and 200,000 are internally displaced, according to the UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi. The figure presumably includes the 110,000 who are believed to have evacuated southern Lebanon in the months before the ongoing escalation.
Those who have crossed the border into Syria are both Lebanese citizens and Syrians who have been living in Lebanon as refugees.
Grandi says that relief operations are underway to assist those in need in collaboration with the governments of both countries.
