| The Times of Israel gives us the thousand words for Twitter’s pictures: |
Syria’s defense ministry on Sunday accused Leb
...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....
’s Hezbollah terror group of abducting three Syrian soldiers to Lebanon and killing them there, state media reported, as Hezbollah denied any involvement in festivities.
A dramatic choice. One would have thought Hezbollah had enough trouble being wiped out by the IDF, without adding another active enemy to their daily activities, but clearly one would be wrong.
"A group from the Hezbollah militia kidnapped three members of the Syrian army on the Syrian-Lebanese border before taking them to Lebanese territory and eliminating them," the news agency SANA quoted the defense ministry as saying."The defense ministry will take all the necessary measures after this dangerous escalation from the Hezbollah militia," it added, saying the incident had occurred near the Zeita Dam, west of Homs.
I think the only answer to this deadly insult is for Hayat Tahrir al Sham the new conquerers of Syria to send a large unit into Lebanon to punish those uppity Levantine Shiite heretics with their delusions of superiority, just because they were backed by the IRGC for the past forty-something years. They need to learn their place, and only Al Nusra can teach them properly.
Meanwhile,...back at the comedy club, Boogie was cracking himself up, but nobody else seemed to be getting the non-stop jokes...
Hezbollah in a statement denied any involvement in festivities with Syrian security forces or in Syrian territory. The Iran-backed jihadist group said it "categorically denies any connection to the events taking place today on the Lebanese-Syrian border."
”Wudn’t us — really and truly, we’d never!”
It added that it "reaffirms its previous announcements that Hezbollah has no relation to any events within Syrian territory."Significant shrinkage, that. Only a few months ago they had a section based in Syria to support the Assad government and were busily setting up along the Israeli border, preparatory to causing trouble there. Ya just never know what the future brings whether you’re truly the beloved of Allah, y’know?
Lebanon’s state news agency NNA reported that rockets fired from Syrian territory had landed in the Lebanese village of Qasr near the border.It’s a start, I suppose. But hopefully not the finish.
"A number of rockets, fired from the Qusayr countryside inside Syrian territory, fell on the border town of Qasr," it said, without providing further details.A Lebanese security source told AFP that "tensions began after three Syrian general security personnel crossed into Lebanese territory at the village of Qasr, where they were shot at by local button men affiliated with a family involved in smuggling."
The source said the reason they entered was unknown.
Answering the question not yet asked. Oh well — hopefully an answer will be soon revealed.
After their death, "the button men handed over their bodies to the Lebanese army which in turn handed them over to the Syrian side."NNA also reported that the bodies of three Syrian soldiers had been handed over to Syria via the Lebanese Red Thingy.
The source said "an escalation subsequently occurred by Syrian security forces, who shelled homes in Qasr."
Hezbollah was a key backer of Syria’s former president Bashir
Pencilneckal-Assad
Horror of Homs...
before he was toppled in a lightning offensive by Islamist-led rebels in December.
Under Assad, Syria became a staging ground for the smuggling of countless Iran-linked weapons to Hezbollah, which has fought several wars with Israel and lauched tens of thousands of rockets at the Jewish state over the years, including more than a year of war sparked when the Lebanese terror group attacked unprovoked on October 8, 2023, a day after its Paleostinian ally Hamas
..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,...launched its murderous October 7 onslaught near 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 a rusty 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
oppressionand
disproportionate response...
. Hezbollah and Hamas are sworn to Israel’s destruction.
Iran’s beloved pincer movement once again failed. Maybe after five or ten more attempts, they’ll finally start plotting something else. By definition the fact that it keeps not working is proof that Allah does not want them to succeed.
Syria’s new authorities announced last month the launch of a security campaign in the border province of Homs, aimed at shutting down routes used for arms and goods smuggling.They accused Hezbollah of launching attacks, saying it was sponsoring cross-border smuggling gangs.

"A quarrel took place between members of Lebanese tribes and members of the Ali ibn Abi Talib Brigade, which ended with the stabbing of one of the tribesmen. Following this, the brigade members were lured into Lebanese territory and killed,” the UK-based war monitor reported.
