    Hezbollah has been quiet for an hour now. Response from them is likely over. I felt they would limit the strike to avoid an all out war. Israel response now matters and if they expand their military operations Hezbollah will strike back again. Its a tit for tat situation.

    I hearing some Israeli soldiers were injured, no deaths. It something at least to avoid a major war..

    One single vehicle was supposedly hit , Israel saying no casualties , hizbolla saying they killed all on board the vehicle , Israel hit back hizbolla hit fields ,

    Irish defence forces caught in the cross fire and are currently in secure bunkers .


    Nothing new unfortunately hizbolla fires a few rockets and Israel hit back harder ,
    Hizbolla retreat for a few months and off we go again

    Nothing new, Israel attacks Lebanon, Hezballa fights back, Israel then attacks again.

    Would it be true to say it was a failed attack from Lebanon (no Israeli casualties)? or will they see this as best case outcome (revenge somewhat got and war unlikely)?

    Failed attack by hizbolla ,it's them shooting at Israel ,I'm not buying the story about a failed drone attack as Lebanon came out and said they didn't shoot down the Israeli drones neither did hizbolla ,

    But this is the regular shooting season between hizbolla and Israel they fire a few rockets do next to no damage and Israel hits them pretty hard in return ,
    No real winners

    IDF admits four kornet anti tank missiles were fired by Hezbollah. Two hit near an Israeli base. One missed and one allegedly hit a troop transport or jeep. Correct there was no deaths, but injuries still uncertain.

    Hezbollah was going to limit its response to avoid an all-out war.


  • Registered Users Posts: 40,291 ✭✭✭✭Gatling

    So they fired 4 anti-tank missles hit one vehicle ,no serious casualties ,or death's .
    And missed with the other 3 or were neutralised by the Israeli vehicles .

    Hizbolla were holding back ?

    That's a new one

    I told you last week i expected a carefully planned, yet limited attack on Israeli military positions.

    Hezbollah was firing these missiles from inside Lebanon. Its hit and run job. You failing to see the big picture, it was done to avoid an all out war. If Hezbelloh wanted a war they give Israel one and IDF soldiers will be killed. Missing shots may actually be done on purpose to avoid killing IDF soldiers.

    Missing on purpose? Somethings missing alright, but it's not Hezbelloh ordnance.

    That's not true. Hezbelloh released pictures of the drones. One Isreali drone was loaded with TNT and blew up outside an Hezbelloh office in Beirut. Another one got shot down.

    Next night a drone took off from a Israeli ship and attacked a PMU base in Lebanon. Israel claimed it was factory building precision guided missiles for Hezbelloh.

    Hezbelloh denies the claim this was a missile factory, they don't deny the attack.

    So they fired an expensive missles at targets and missed on purpose according to your opinion,

    Or the Israeli vehicles neutralised the majority of the missles leaving hizbolla scratching their heads .


    Hizbolla fighter A - b you tell ze boss we missed everything

    Hizbolla fighter b- no A i told them last time and lost my hand

    Hizbolla fighter A - tell them it was the Iranians this time

    Hizbolla fighter b - there worse than us they haven't hit the broadside of a barn since the 70s

    Second Lebanon war started over two Israeli soldiers been killed on Lebanon war. The Isreali response was massive. Hezbelloh did this to avoid casaulties, it was enough of a response for its supporters to be happy and celebrate.. IDF response was limited the also are aware this was not an attempt by Hezbelloh to start an all out war.

    They carried out a limited revenge attack and called it a day. IDF response was limited also. It save face exercise. I don't believe the IDF truly wants an all out war with Lebanon either. Hezbelloh held their own in 2006 and killed over 100 IDF soldiers and damaged 50 tanks and damaged other military vehicles. Hezbelloh is lot stronger today and can fire thousands of missiles at Israel each day. A nightmare for the Israel population.

    Best outcome for both sides right now. IDF soldiers got killed- Israel will have no choice, they'll will respond massively. Not saying it all over now. Israel has opened a new front and has started attacking Lebanon, so conditions are new.

    Israel has not targetted Hezbelloh military positions yet with military jets.

    Drones attacks can be denied.

    PMU base is run by a Palestinian group in Lebanon. Israel claims they were making weapons for Hezbelloh, and a drone attacked it. The drone attacks in Beirut, still unknown what the aim or intention of this operation was.

    I don't think this Hezbelloh attack failed, i think it just an operation to save face and show its supporters they fight back. Nobody truly knows what the IDF and Hezbelloh are planning next and if attacks will cease. This operation that occurred yesterday is over for now.


  • Registered Users Posts: 40,291 ✭✭✭✭Gatling


    Hezbelloh held their own in 2006 and killed over 100 IDF soldiers and damaged 50 tanks

    And lost several thousand of their own men and hundreds of pieces of equipment .

    And yet here we are in 2019 and four missles with one hit and the other neutralised likely by isreali defenses ,
    It seems the new kornet missles are no longer effective against isreali armour.

    You don't know what hizbolla are doing or what they are thinking maybe leave filling in the blanks till we have facts about hizbolla plans

    Is this another false stat by gatling? I know i should not ask for it because i never recieve anything to verify your wild claims, but please provide a source 7,000 hezbelloh soldiers were killed in 2006.

    There was no attack stopped by Israeli forces. They launched four missiles and left the area, they attacked them from.

    Kornet missiles rarely miss the targets. So it obvious to me they were just doing damage and was not meant to be a precise strike, to wipe out soldiers. They probably hit a Israeli vehicle from a far distance and then escaped.

    Nasrallah backed himself into a corner in his speech but a Hezbollah reaction to local and regional events was inevitable.

    It was a measured response against Israel for the Hezbollah/Iranian members who were killed by Israel in Damascus last week.

    Israel fired a number of ordnance near the Israel/Lebanon border on Saturday night some of which landed in Lebanon and the Cheeba Farms.

    Sunday morning, they did it again. Then Hezbollah fired a number of Kornet missiles at the Israeli patrol.

    Hezbollah were expected to make the move in order to de-escalate the situation and avoid another war, which neither wants.

    Each side are happy with the event, it dissipated the tensions which were rapidly rising. The only concern is if Iran direct Hezbollah to strike again, Iran may not be too happy with the limited strike.


  • Registered Users Posts: 40,291 ✭✭✭✭Gatling


    but please provide a source 7,000 hezbelloh soldiers were killed in 2006.
    IDF lost 45 Kia
    Hizbolla lost 700 kia

    Where did I say 7000 exactly lol .....

    No your making that all that up .
    You obviously don't know anything about the kornet missle system ,

    They choose to miss did they tell you that or just putting it out there for whatever reason

    Your answer is vague. You said thousands of their own men were killed? If less than 7000 how many?

    Your answer is vague.

    I know exactly what I said and I definitely didn't say 7000 ,
    But you did so trying to attribute something as misleading

    You said thousands. I still trying to find how many you think died.

    You for some reason have 700 KIA in my quote post?

    It only hundreds then not thousands?

    Maybe you got mixed up with civilians, the Israelis managed according to Amnesty kill over 1000 Lebanese Civilians plus they murdered 5 UN. The Lebanese government said that 250 Hezballah were killed. So the most sophisticated army in the middle east killed 4 times as many civilians as soldiers. You would almost think the did it on purpose.

    Bolton gone, big blow to the cheerleaders for death and destruction. This guy has to be one of the most malevolent influences on US foreign policy ever. He is responsible for the deaths of countless men women and children.

    A good day for humanity and I think a shift in US policy. Hopefully he will never see power again
