IDF: Lebanon strike targeted Iranian militia rocketeers aiming at northern Israel
[IsraelTimes] One of 3 reportedly killed said to be weapons technician in division that operates alongside Hezbollah; military says it also hit positions belonging to Tehran-backed terror group

The Israel Defense Forces said it struck a vehicle near 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...

Several thousand strong, this international stew of a unit is attached to the IRGC Quds Force for the purpose of attacking Israel. I cannot remember that it has yet achieved its purpose, but my memory is not what I like fondly to think it once was…
According to the IDF, the operatives were involved in recent rocket fire on northern Israel.

Arab media reports, citing Lebanese sources, said three people were killed in the strike on a vehicle on a coastal road. One of the men was a weapons technician, a security source in Lebanon told the Rooters news agency.

The IDF also said fighter jets carried out strikes on Hezbollah positions in Labbouneh, and two more buildings belonging to the terror group in Blida overnight.

It published footage showing the strike on the vehicle and the Hezbollah compounds.

Meanwhile,
...back at the argument, Livia had made her point with her knee to Jane's stomach...
on Saturday, Hezbollah announced the deaths of seven more members killed "on the road to Jerusalem," its term for operatives slain in Israeli strikes.

Hezbollah has named 229 members who have been killed by Israel during the ongoing skirmishes, mostly in Lebanon, but some also in Syria. In Lebanon, another 37 operatives from other terror groups, a Lebanese soldier, and at least 30 civilians, three of whom were journalists, have been killed.

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...

...not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,...
there.

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

The Israeli strikes on Iranian targets in Lebanon came a day after Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
alleged a member of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards navy serving as a military adviser in Syria was killed in an IDF strike.

Iranian media reports said Reza Zarei was killed along with two members of Lebanon’s Iran-backed Hezbollah terror group.

The IRGC have scaled back deployment of their senior officers in Syria due to a spate of deadly Israeli strikes and were relying more on allied Shiite militia to preserve their sway there, Rooters reported in February.
