It's Official: Hezbollah Has Raised the Red Flag of War
It is apparently official: Hezbollah units have, within the past few minutes (11:21 AM EDT Sunday), all begun raising the Red Flag of War. This is taking place over such a widespread area, and at the same time, as to logically be "official." | Given Israeli bombings all across Lebanon for the past three days, and the deliberate detonation of pocket pagers, cell phones, and walkie-talkies in the days prior to that, it has been clear to most observers that war has already been foist upon them. This gesture, with the Red Flags, is apparently acknowledgement of what has been obvious to most people, for days. Where things go from here seems obvious too: Down hill. Fast.
■ Intense "Unrelenting" Air Strikes By Israel Against Lebanon 5:30 AM EDT, Monday 23 September 2024 -- Intensive and unrelenting air strikes are taking place throughout southern Lebanon this morning, where the Israeli Defense Force is attacking. Observers say bombing exceeds that of the 2006 war. | Israeli strikes on the towns of Al-Adisa, Al-Taybeh, and Al-Khiyam in southern Lebanon, as well as in Tyre, the fourth largest city in Lebanon. Al-Manar TV correspondent Ali Shoeib describes the situation this way: "Everywhere you look there has been an airstrike." From the town of Toura in the Tyre District shows secondary explosions following an Israeli airstrike. Several airstrikes have struck Nabatieh, the main city in the Jabal Amel area of southern Lebanon. Lebanese media reports over 80 airstrikes in just Nabatieh, Lebanon. This is a massive bombing operation. After bombing near Jbeil earlier, the first time it has hit that area in the north in this war, Israel has also started bombing bridges in south Lebanon. Hostilities are clearly taking place and escalating fast. More updates as they become available.
