Kidnapping far from the frontline? Currently frontline is in the south, that happened in the north. Now they do what usually have been done to Palestinian, to Lebanese.

And by Hezbollah leader they mean 14yo brown child.

"" The officials said an investigation is looking into whether the man is linked to Hezbollah or working for an Israeli spy agency and an Israeli force came to rescue him.""

Probably a spy in need of rescue, why would Israel save him if he wasn't an agent??

.

Taken a senior hezbollah operative alive means he is not a dead martyr.

They can question him, unlike a dead body.

.

Or they were rescuing a spy.

.

Israel must get their information from sources deep in hezbollah for the past raids in which top hezbollah commanders were killed.

.

Will we find out, spy or terrorist ?

Most likely never find out.

Meanwhile Iran, the sponsor of Hezbollah, announces its intention to launch a new strike, much bigger than the two former strikes.

If Iran and its proxies demolish Israel then they will be demolished too. The demise of the Iranian, Lebanese, Yemenite and Palestinian children will not be less painful than the demise of the Israeli children. If the cities and villages of Israel will be set in fire then Tehran, Mashhad, Isfahan, Beirut and Sanaa will become the new Bikini Atoll, and the Palestinian towns will become the new Dresden.

Donald Trump could have prevented the catastrophe in the Middle East, and could have safeguarded the lives and the rights of all nations in the region – Arabs, Israelis and Persians. Just as he could have prevented the catastrophe in Eastern Europe.

The second to the last paragraph in this article is very interesting

https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/middle-east/israel-captures-hezbollah-naval-commander-in-northern-lebanon-reports/articleshow/114885649.cms

"The operation was conducted with some level of coordination with German naval forces operating under UNIFIL"

Iran under the mullahs is the key to putting a lid on the conflict, as they are the sponsors of both Hamas and Hizballah. The Sunni Arab states would have been Ok, as shown by the Abraham accords, which Biden stupidly scuttled. Without a regime change in Iran, the conflict will go on. Remember that under the Sha, Iran was allied with Israel. No demand to "wipe out the Jewish entity".

We need a competent person at the helm to deal with such a dangerous place as the Middle East (as well as with other problems which are a threat to world peace). I am afraid that persons such as Biden and his continuers are not competent enough.

NB big words. Israel will be attack very soon and it will put another nail in Zoinist coffin. Unlike the other pollutions in the Middle East, Israel citizen have no where to go but either into the IDF or on a jet out of Tel-Viv which fights will soon cease. and the latter is the prefer method. You can believe your source of info but the truth is Hezbollah have push another 60,000 Occupiers from the north since the IDF try crossing into Lebanon.

Along with getting handed a hammering in the north the IDF are getting severely hammered in North Gaza. The IDF are now excepting any ultra orthodox scholars they can round up. When you start forcefully recruiting this mob of no hopers you know Israel is in big trouble.

Funny all these calls, all of a sudden, for a regime change in Iran, when the regime change was indeed orchestrated in 1953 by the usual suspects (Washington), until something did not work out.

Is it too difficult to mention that Israel is occupying another sovereign state as we speak after a genocide in Gaza? Or maybe is just too convenient to shift the attention to another actor?

It is inconceivable to blame Iran for any of the ongoing death and destruction in the Middle East. The same type of accusations should be directed by the major sponsor of weapons used by IDF on the ground: United States of America.

No it is inconceivable not to blame a country with a policy of supporting under the table all of the entities attacking Israel and also now doing direct attacks.

We are now 70 years after that fact. It is time for Iran to grow up,

I know but Barack Obama can't run again and people have something against Hillary.

The problem lies in Jerusalem with Mr. Natanyahu and his far right coalition partners. They are reprehensible barbarians who ignore the advice of the US to behave with moderation and who seem determined to commit outright genocide against Arab Muslim and Christian residents of the Occupied Territories. and those in Jerusalem. Their treatment of Armenian Christians and Greek Orthodox in Jerusalem is detestable.

Also, there is no consensus within the US regarding support for Israel and / or the Palestinians. The US is divided on the subject and that leads to legislative and political paralysis. Imagine if Mr. Biden decided to cut off aid to Israel. If only ! It is a political impossibility in this country today. Anyone who openly supports the Palestinian cause is shouted down as a terrorist. But there is enough opposition to Israeli policies and enough support for the Palestinian cause within the US to make supporting Israeli policies on the Occupied Territories likewise impossible.
