War Hezbollah and Israel

[EasterIssland]

News seem to indicate a war between Israel and Hezbollah seems imminent , hopefully they’re wrong

Biden has said they’ll support Israel and several ships are on their way to support Israel

from what I’ve read , hezbollah has got more and stronger weapons than Hamas in Gaza

I can only think about how many innocent civilians are going to die because incompetent politicians and many times men.

I do not think all Israelis believe they are forever powerless victims who have never harmed Palestinians except in self defence.

I don't think all Israelis believe this either, but I have no idea why you are telling me this? I don't think its particularly relevant to my point about the the threat to Israel & Israelis before 7 October.

Israeli Warplanes over Beirut

This.

It's ongoing. Hopefully it won't ramp up to more of this.

Oh well. Terrorists get stung.

Hopefully they all are terrorists and not innocent civilians like in Palestine.

Yes that was my thought. 8 dead and over two thousand injured unlikely they were all Hezbollah terrorists

Ten year old girl confirmed dead.

So far 1 child confirmed dead. Civilians had pagers too and many were injured getting food at a local market.

I saw the video of the supermarket. That's terrible, the poor little girl.

Thousands injured in indiscriminate explosions...

Where are you seeing it was indiscriminate please? News I’m seeing is saying hezbollah pagers were targeted.

News over here is saying civilians' pagers were affected too.

If another group did this to people in Israel, everyone would be calling it terrorism. Because it is.

I would consider it pretty indiscriminate if the pager of someone I happened to be standing next to in a shop or market exploded.

Details are still sketchy though so I'll wait for things to be confirmed but the reports I've seen it sounds like over 2000 have been injured in explosions

It must be absolutely terrifying living there right now.

I did read that one of Israel's stated war goals, is to return residents to the north. This was re-iterared this morning, I can't see how this latest escalation ties in with that. Surely it will now lead to a retaliation?

Have just been on news and seen this reported in Israel (in times of Israel) 💔

From a journalist in Lebanon:

• All the pagers exploded at the same time. Whole incident lasted about 30 minutes.
• New batch of pagers that had been ordered prior to October 7th, however were held up in transit in Jordan.
• Rumours that a couple of weeks ago employees of the American Hospital in Beirut were instructed to change their pagers.
• Hezbollah fighters who refused to upgrade to the new pagers unaffected.
• Large number of civilian casualties with injuries ranging from minor to extremely severe.
• Lebanese health ministry is asking for blood donations and Lebanese people are queuing to help. *Lebanese government and Hezbollah have both blamed the Israeli Government.

It's really sad. This latest escalation must be concerning for you too, hope you are well and stay safe.
Everytime i open the news, it's just so bleak.

Is there any reason you haven’t provided a link to this report if it’s a verifiable source?

Yes, because it was being reported live via Twitter spaces by journalists and people in the region with direct contacts to Lebanon. I'm sure the BBC and others will catch up.
