      From The Telegraph:

      Beirut’s skyline was illuminated by a large fireball and the night split by repeated explosions as the Lebanese capital endured its heaviest night of air strikes [since Israel’s war with Hezbollah escalated](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/10/01/beirut-israel-feel-like-all-out-war-lebanon/).

      The city was hit at least 30 times in the most intense bombardment in the two weeks since Israel stepped up its campaign, state media said.

      Reported targets included a petrol station on the main highway leading to [Beirut’s airport](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/09/28/iranian-plane-u-turn-beirut-airport-after-israel-warning/) and a warehouse for medical supplies.

      “Beirut just lived one of its worst nights,” said Michel Helou, secretary general of the National Bloc political party.

      “More than 30 strikes. Total silence in the international community.”

      Beirut’s southern suburbs have come under daily fire in the past fortnight, as Israel has said it is [targeting Hezbollah leaders](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/10/05/how-hezbollah-turned-lebanon-into-mafia-state/), infrastructure and arms caches.

      The ongoing onslaught has caused large numbers to flee the area, with many sleeping rough in cars, parks, or on pavements.

      “Last night was the most violence of all the previous nights. Buildings were shaking around us and at first I thought it was an earthquake,” Hanan Abdullah, a resident of the Burj al-Barajneh area, told Reuters.

      “There were dozens of strikes – we couldn’t count them all – and the sounds were deafening”

      Israel said it had been hitting “weapons storage facilities and terrorist infrastructure sites belonging to the Hezbollah terrorist organisation in the area of Beirut”.

      Some strikes were reported to be followed by secondary explosions, leading to suggestions ammunition stores had been hit.

      Still can’t get over these headlines. How about

      *Israel strikes multiple Hezbollah weapon caches hidden in residential areas*

      Instead, they mention in passing, in the middle of the article:

      > Some strikes were reported to be followed by secondary explosions, leading to suggestions ammunition stores had been hit

      By this point, there’s an ungodly amount of videos from Lebanon showing secondaries and cook off, some of them are quite spectacular.

      How in the world can you write something like “leading to suggestions ammunition stores had been hit”? Leading to suggestions? Seriously?

      Everyone knows. It’s deliberately, purposefully being downplayed by a lot of mass media.

      I have a theory Israel is using all this to get all the way to Iran, no one in the west is stopping them , and I’m sure lines are being drawn in the sand in other countries friendly to Iran, wonder if this really is the pre cursed to ww3

      Well the time to start shit with Iran and the middle east is now, Russia is too busy and Iran doesn’t have nukes yet. States will probably get involved

      How dumb is Hezb. Why get involved with this at all? For 11 months Israel told Hezb this is what would happen. Just like Hamas – they push dead civilians as clickbait and PR. And the far left eat it up thinking Hezb “supports Palestine”. Had they bothered to research anything would have found out Hezb hates Palestinians. Nasrallahs first job was killing Palestinians.

      It is truly sad, because it is a full blown war now. The same as Gaza and Ukraine. They at least warned the citizens there for what’s coming, but still. It must be awful and a nightmare for everyone including children. But this is what happens, when diplomacy and governments fail – escalation takes an edge and who knows how this will end.

      They would be just fine if they didn’t stockpile insane amounts of weapons in the city, under citizens houses. Let’s not mention the bunkers.

      So apparently as long as you don’t do things in a typical military manner and spread things out amongst your populace you’re just unattackable because it will guarantee civilian casualties. Somehow that fault falls on the people fighting back not the people that set up their infrastructure to guarantee their people will be killed if their weapons and munition storages are attacked. Maybe they shouldn’t attempt to deter incoming attacks by putting their civilians up as the shield to their militant operations. Feel bad for the people unknowingly being used as pawns by dumb fuck religious extremists thinking they’ll make Israel disappear when all they are doing is hurting the people they claim to be champions of making sure the region stays a fucking disaster for future generations.
