Israel Update:

ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL ATTACKS EVER ON A SINGLE SPOT, THE HEADQUARTERS OF HEZBOLLAH IN BEIRUT ANDER A BUILDING.

THE TARGET : NASRALAH. THE LEADER OF HEZBOLLAH!

RESULTS? We will know soon enough. It was meant to leave no survivors.

Names of top leaders of Hezbollah who are killed starting to arrive.

Israel opens up shelters across the nation.

If they don’t respond soon it means they are crushed. Leaderless. Headquarterless.

Don’t miss the video below.

#15  IDF calls on Lebanese civilians to move away from several sites in Hezbollah bastion

[IsraelTimes] The IDF is calling on Lebanese civilians near several buildings in the Dahiyeh suburb of Beirut, a known Hezbollah stronghold, to evacuate immediately.

Col. Avichay Adraee, the IDF’s Arabic-language spokesman, publishes maps alongside the announcement, which call on civilians to distance themselves at least 500 meters from three sites in Dahiyeh.

The sites are used by Hezbollah, according to the IDF.

“You are located near Hezbollah properties, and for your safety and the safety of your loved ones, you are obliged to evacuate the buildings immediately and move away from them to a distance of no less than 500 meters,” Adraee says.

Tweeted maps at the link.

#16 It’s always interesting to be Lebanese, but today more than most.

IDF says it’ll soon strike underground Hezbollah sites in Beirut, tells citizens to swiftly flee

IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari says the military will soon strike underground Hezbollah sites in the Dahiyeh suburb of Beirut, and therefore warned civilians in the area to evacuate immediately.

“In the coming hours we are going to strike strategic capability that Hezbollah placed underground, under three buildings in the heart of the Dahiyeh,” he says

“Over the years, Hezbollah built and developed an array of coast-to-sea [missiles], that originate in Iran,” Hagari says, noting the 2006 attack on the INS Hanit, killing four sailors. “Nasrallah himself threatened Israel’s vital and strategic facilities at sea and near the coast.”

“We will now reveal how [Hezbollah] places strategic weapons under civilian buildings in the heart of the Dahiyeh,” he continues.

“These missiles are a real threat to world shipping lanes and strategic facilities of the State of Israel. In a short while, we will attack the weapons under the buildings. The intensity of the explosion of the weapons under the buildings, will lead to damage to the buildings and could lead to their collapse,” Hagari adds.

The IDF issued evacuation warnings to three buildings and their surroundings a short while ago.

I sort of agree but IMO it would be ideal if Nasrallah was gravely injured and disfigured also.
