Israelis End Beirut Bomber
Clueless
White House National Security Communications Advisor John Kirby told media the U.S. was not notified ahead of time about Friday’s strike.
Hezbollah commander involved in US embassy and Marine Corps bombings is killed in targeted Israeli strike
By Mike Brest
A senior Hezbollah commander, Ibrahim Aqil, has been killed in a targeted strike in Beirut, Lebanon, the Israeli military confirmed.
Aqil, commander of Hezbollah’s Radwan special forces unit, who had eluded capture for decades, had a $7 million State Department reward for information leading to his arrest. He played a “principal” part in the bombings of the U.S. Embassy in Beirut in 1983, which killed 63 people, as well as the bombing of the Marine Corps barracks in the same year, which killed 241 U.S. personnel. In 2019 he was listed as a “Specially Designated Global Terrorist” by the State Department.
Israel Defense Forces spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari confirmed that Aqil was the target and said that “top operatives and the chain of command of the Radwan unit were eliminated” in the strike.
The Lebanese Health Ministry said eight people were killed in the strike, a tally that could rise, and that more than 50 others were injured, according to CNN.
Israel’s strike came after Hezbollah fired dozens of projectiles, rockets, and drones and caps an extraordinary week between the two sides as the situation threatens to boil over into all-out war.
Israel is believed to be responsible for an elaborate operation to sabotage Hezbollah’s communications devices earlier this week.
Israel not notifying whoever is currently running the White House of its intentions to attack Hezbollah is why they succeeded so brilliantly. Despite this even a lapdog like Kirby would have to admit killing Aqil was long overdue.
Ironically, the Israeli newspaper Haaretz reports Aqil had been discharged Friday from a hospital after being treated for an injury caused by exploding pagers. The inconvenience didn’t keep him from the meeting, inshallah.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.
They are really kicking ass and taking names and they don’t know how to write.
It makes one wonder what the Israelis will come up with next. More importantly, it makes Hezbollah and their ilk wonder what they’ll come up with next.
They have fucked around and found out, and I’m sure they’re going to get even more!
Nice.
Break all the means of communication and force a F2F meeting and then bing, bang, boom and Mohammed calls some more home.
I was taught in SF training on clandestine communications for behind the lines ops that that face to face communications is the most dangerous method. It is how you can get your entire network compromised and rolled up.
After the walkies blew they should have figured it was part of a greater plan. Maybe the new leadership will be smarter.
They can now use their cellphones to communicate to each other. With geo location forced reporting. Will be like plucking rubber ducks from a kiddy pool.
No way I would tell the current dunces in charge. They have more leaks than the Titan Submersible.
The reason they aren’t telling anybody here in charge is because like us, they don’t know either.
They expect betrayal from the current administration, just look at how both Joe and Kamala snubbed Benjamin Netanyahu the last time he visited!
And Obama before them.
Probably now using Biden to broadcast info they want published.
In all fairness it’s looking like the thing suffered from a single leak. It then was crushed like a beer can run over by a truck, so there’s that.
Leak?
“Flooding finds you”.
(grin)
Don’t inform Biden Administration and…
Operations go on to be yuge successes.
Hmmm….
They could have told Joe Biden, but he is so out of it he wouldn’t even understand what was going on. No joke.
Telling the supposed allies is what killed many MACVSOG operators. The NVA knew where and when the teams were going before they launched because the RVN government was full of enemy spies at the highest levels.
Gee. I wonder if Netenyahu previously boasted to Biden of compromising the cellphone networks…
(grin)
Seems the Israelis don’t believe the Iran/Hezbollah/Hamas/Houthi denials of terrorists residing in their home territories and have decide to Nike-“Just Do It” them.
We’ve been trying the opposite for all but four of the last 16 years….I think their approach is proving more effective.
Israel officials say entire senior command of Hezbollah ‘eliminated’
They just keep deleting the bad guys. If I was them I’d be afraid of anything electronic, ah hell I’d be afraid of rocks, never know they might explode.

College students are going to have a bunch of new folks for PTSD studies.
“White House National Security Communications Advisor John Kirby told media the U.S. was not notified ahead of time about Friday’s strike.”
Which IMO went a long way in keeping that mission a success, telling the current cabal of clowns in charge of DC would likely guarantee the targets getting fair warning in time to evade, given how many anti-Israel lefitsts are there.
The IDF, doing the work Americans don’t want to… #notforgotten🇺🇸
SEMPER FI!
DEAD pos!
POP! Goes the weasel.
$7 million reward, huh? Israel should have given us the data on his location and then demanded payment in the form of ordnance Biden is currently stiffing them on. It should sound like this. “Your boy is at grid 12MR12345678. Standby! Correction, he WAS there. His arm is now at 12555681 and his head is at 12335634. May we have our JDAMs now?”
The scary thing is we have 4 more years of this insane foreign policy to put up with
They sure won’t let Trump serve, dead or alive.
I try to be an optimist, but I fear that you are correct.
Jes sayin’, is all.

The folks at Hezbolla have now first-hand knowledge of what the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob think of their war against His People.
And eternity to suffer the consequences.
Outstanding insight!!! I think you are correct!

Ouch.

The Marine Corps Hymn is playing loudly in my head right now.
So does the Israeli Defense Ministry get to collect on the $7M reward? Or nah?
Rest in Pieces…Mofo!
