[IsraelTimes] 15-year-old boy, 47-year-old mother reported at death's door, taken to hospital by chopper; terror group says attack response to Israeli Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
s, to support Gazooks


Two people were seriously maimed when a rocket struck the northern city of Kiryat Shmona on Tuesday in an assault claimed by 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...
-based terror group Hezbollah.

The attack, which came in retaliation for a deadly Israeli strike on a Hezbollah site a day earlier, was one of several incidents in which projectiles were fired into northern Israel Tuesday morning, and came hours after La Belle France announced a proposal aimed at calming the restive frontier.

The Magen David Adom ambulance service said a 15-year-old boy and a 47-year-old woman were at death's door after being injured by the rocket, which landed on a street in the largely evacuated city.

The two, a mother and son according to Hebrew media reports, were evacuated by helicopter to Haifa’s Rambam Hospital, where doctors managed to stabilize them, the medical center said.

Hezbollah said the attack came in retaliation for an Israeli strike in the southern Lebanese town of Talloussa on Monday, in which at least two members of the Iran-backed terror group were killed.

Sirens had sounded in the northern city as the projectiles were fired from Lebanon.

After the attack on Kiryat Shmona, the IDF said it carried out strikes on Hezbollah positions, including buildings where members of the terror group were operating.

Sites hit by fighter jets in the south Lebanon towns of Houla, Qalaat Debba, Yaroun, Meiss al-Jabal, Yarine, and Chihine included several buildings, observation posts, and other Hezbollah infrastructure, according to the IDF.

Another site used by Hezbollah was also struck in the town of Ramyeh, and troops also shelled areas in south Lebanon with artillery, the IDF added.

Earlier on Tuesday, several rockets fired from Lebanon hit the northern town of Margaliot, though no sirens sounded in the area. Ynet news reported that there were no casualties, though a number of impact sites were identified and some chicken coops sustained damage.

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. So far, the skirmishes on the border have resulted in six civilian deaths on the Israeli side, as well as the deaths of nine IDF soldiers and reservists. There have also been several attacks from Syria, without any injuries.

Hezbollah has named 193 members who have been killed by Israel during the ongoing skirmishes, mostly in Lebanon but some also in Syria. In Lebanon, another 29 operatives from other terror groups, a Lebanese soldier, and at least 19 civilians, three of whom were journalists, have been killed.

On Monday, a Lebanese security source told AFP that a local Hezbollah official was seriously maimed in an Israeli airstrike in the town of Bint Jbeil in southern Lebanon earlier in the day.

Hezbollah later announced the death of four of its fighters "on the road to Jerusalem" — the phrase the group has been using to refer to bandidos forces of Evil killed by Israeli fire since hostilities began.

Two of the group’s fighters were killed in the Talloussa strike, while it was unclear where the other two were killed.

...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...
whose fighters are present in Lebanon, said two of its members were killed Monday.

They died "at the border with occupied Paleostine, in the south of Lebanon," said a statement from the group, which is fighting in Gaza as an ally of Hamas

La Belle France has delivered a written proposal to Beirut aimed at ending the hostilities and settling the disputed Lebanon-Israel frontier, according to a document seen by Rooters this week that calls for Hezbollah and other groups to withdraw 10 kilometers (6 miles) from the border.
