At least 20 more people were killed and 450 injured in Lebanon on Wednesday after a series of new explosions of wireless devices rocked the South, the Bekaa and the southern suburbs of Beirut, according to the Ministry of Health and the Lebanese Red Cross.
Kill, injure and seriously disrupt the communication of Hezbollah, no matter the consequences or civilian casualties. At least this time there was a tiny bit of military assassination type logic to it, and they weren’t just blatantly shooting civilians and bombing hospitals as they usually do, but they just had to trigger it during rush hour because of course they did.
Hezbollah is a legitimately elected party in Lebanon’s parliament. If this had been done by an Arab nation to a Western nation, it would be the end of the fucking world. October 7 all over again. Horrific terrorism.
But seriously, Imagine all of the members of the UK labor party being injured or killed by a coordinated attack like this. Do you think people would be talking about how cool it was then?
Hezbollah are a political party with a non-insignificant number of elected seats in Lebanon’s parliament.
This is like targeting every UK Labor MP, and successfully assassinating several of them. Wonder if people would be talking about how cool it was then…
Honestly, it’s a pretty brilliant idea. It did what it was intended to do.
Murder civilians?

When Israel does it? “Self defense”
Oct 7th and Sept 11th all over again.
And hezbollah is a fuckload more restrained in how they target Israel with rockets than how Israel bombs Lebanon.
Militia not backed by a state are classified as unlawful combatants.
Oh so they aren’t backed by Iran now?

Lots of British fascists would love to murder labor MPs, unfortunately.
