KABOOM!...
s against a series of Hezbollah targets in five areas of southern 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...today.
Sites hit by fighter jets in the Maroun al-Ras area included a military building where Hezbollah operatives were gathered, the IDF says.
It says secondary blasts could be seen following the strike, indicating the building was used to store weapons.
The IDF says it also hit three observation posts and another military building in Marwahin, Chihine, Taybeh, and Tayr Harfa.
