Killer Behind Murder Of Five US Soldiers Is Now Kaput

Fox News: IDF announces elimination of Hezbollah commander behind murder of 5 American soldiers

ELIMINATED: Ali Musa Daqduq, a senior Hezbollah commander who held a series of 5 senior positions within Hezbollah," the IDF hailed on X. "Daqduq played a central role in advancing terrorist attacks and combat operations against Israel and IDF soldiers. In 2007, he orchestrated the kidnapping and murder of 5 American soldiers." 

Good riddance to very bad rubbish.  Daqduq was behind the killing of five US troops in Karbala, Iraq in 2007.  Yes, Hezbollah, Iran, and Iraqi insurgents were working together to kill Americans then, and they still are now.

The murderer of CPT Brian Scott Freeman; 1LT Jacob Noal Fritz; SPC Jonathan Bryan Chism; PFC Shawn Patrick Falter; and PVT Jonathon Miles Millican has finally met justice.

You Really Can't Hate The Mainstream Media Enough

The New York Post:  NPR didn’t quote a single member of Michigan synagogue after attack — but interviewed terrorist’s pals in Lebanon

They didn't bother interviewing those who were there, including the security guards who stopped the attack, the teachers, or all the responders who risked their lives to make sure no further attackers were in the burning building and all children were safely extracted from it. 

Nope, they instead sent a reporter all the way to Lebanon  to talk to Hezbollah sympathizers and members about the attack. 

One might note that NPR still receives taxpayer dollars to propagandize against America and Americans. 

Something ought to be done about that. 

Possible Lebanon Ceasefire Agreement As IDF Reaches The Litani

Israel fought through Hezbollah and reached the Litani river in Lebanon yesterday.

This is rather a big deal.  The reason is that Hezbollah, per UN Security Council Resolution 1701 that ended the 2006 Lebanon War, was supposed to remain north of the Litani with nothing but the Lebanese Army and UNIFIL deployed south of the Litani.  Obviously Hezbollah ignored the resolution and it was unenforced - until now, by Israel.

So now, Hezbollah wants a ceasefire after launching thousands of rockets at Israel since October 7 of last year and finding out that was not a good choice on their part as Israel decapitated their leadership, destroyed their weapon depots and have been nailing their positions in Southern Lebanon and driving them across the Litani.

Assuming Hezbollah actually abides by the terms of the proposed ceasefire it would achieve the majority of Israel's aims in this conflict -  Hezbollah would have to actually stay north of the Litani, and stop shooting missiles at Israel so Israelis living in the north of Israel who have been displaced by the rocket and artillery fire since last October could come home. 

We will see if the ceasefire is implemented and how long it lasts before  Hezbollah starts breaking the terms - and if the world will try and stop Israel from enforcing the agreement, which is apparently a sticking point.

From De-Ballification To Decapitation

Hezbollah has now confirmed what Israel has already announced - that their leader, Hassan Nasrallah, has been killed in an Israeli airstrike that hit his bunker placed under a civilian residence in the Dahiyeh district in Lebanon.

That makes almost the entire command structure and leadership of Hezbollah being eliminated in this action, leaving the terrorist organization effectively decapitated. Thousands of their middle management have effectively been paged out of action as well.

I wonder if Hezbollah is regretting firing thousands of rockets at Israel since October 7 of last year, as well as regretting the rocket attack that killed 12 Druze children in Israel that really got Israel understandably cross with them.  Not to mention their plan for a mass rocket attack on Israel that Israel preempted, leading to this current battle.

Apparently, Iran, the puppeteer behind Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis, has just announced that their leader Ayatollah Khamenei has decided to go hide in an undisclosed "secure" location.

Hezbollah Home Depot

Hezbollah, as Arab and Islamic terrorist and military groups tend to do stores its munitions in homes, hospitals, schools, and other locations that normally would be protected under the Geneva Convention,

However, once you use these sites for military purposes such as storing weapons, launching weapons, or as a military headquarters, they lose their protected status and are valid military targets.

Here for example is a nice home south of the Litani river in Lebanon used by Hezbollah as a weapons depot. Since Hezbollah isn't supposed to be south of the Litani - they've been violating the ceasefire agreement and UN Resolution 1701 since the day it was written in 2006, these are certainly valid military targets, especially as Hezbollah has been using them to launch rockets and missiles at Israel on a daily basis.

Get a load of all those secondary explosions. They had that house packed to the gills.

But wait, there's more:

 

Lots more:

So, the next time someone claims Israel is bombing houses and thus committing war crimes you may want to point out they are not bombing houses but home depots.  That is not a war crime by Israel but the result of a violation of the laws of war by Hezbollah.

Paging Mr Terrorist

 So, in a rather ingenious operation, most likely by the Israelis, took place yesterday and today, with pagers owned by Hizballah terrorists simultaneously exploding in their hands or at their belts when they got a page.  As a result, the Israelis have now removed at least some of the balls from Hizballah given the location of many of the pagers when they went off.  The terrorist group may need to rename themselves Hizah for accuracy as their balls are gone.

Since Hizah has been firing rockets daily at Israel, it's only appropriate that Israel hit back in a smart way that may in addition to emasculating them possibly have removed some of their trigger fingers.  The Iranian ambassador to Lebanon also happend to be in possession of a Hizballah pager - funny, that.

Reuters: Hezbollah vows to punish Israel after pager explosions across Lebanon

The Detroit News:  A new wave of blasts hits Lebanon a day after pager attack. Israel declares 'new phase' of war

In addition to pagers, it now seems some of the terrorist group's walkie-talkies and even solar panels were also impacted and have been exploding.

Since the pagers were passed out by the head of Hizballah to his trusted aides and members out of fear that their cell phone network had been compromised, the pagers themselves have now been explosively compromised.

And as summed up by the Mossad Satirical page:

That's a few more high-level terrorists and terrorist associates removed from the board.  

We'll note that Hizballah does not only attack Israel. It was Hizballah that was behind the Marine Barracks bombing and the US Embassy and the kidnapping, torture and murder of CIA station chief William Francis Buckley, and more recent attacks as well.  

So, those pages were certainly on point.

Terrorist Attack In Bulgaria Has A Michigan Connection

The bombing of a bus carrying Israeli tourists in Bulgaria is looking more and more like a Hezballah operation. Vehicle bombings are their stock-in-trade and it's even more so now that there's a Michigan tie-in.

Bulgaria bombing suspect had fake Michigan ID

A lanky, long-haired man wearing a baseball cap and plaid shorts with a fake Michigan driver's license carried out a deadly suicide attack on a bus full of Israeli vacationers, Bulgarian officials said Thursday. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu blamed the attack on Iranian-backed Hezbollah, a Lebanese Shiite Muslim guerrilla group, and threatened retaliation. Seven people — five Israelis, the Bulgarian driver and the bomber — died in the blast Wednesday. .... Officials were using DNA samples to try to establish his identity. Bulgarian Prime Minister Boiko Borisov told reporters that a Michigan driver's license was retrieved, but he said U.S. officials reported that "there was no such person in their database." Michigan is home to one of the largest Arab communities in the U.S.

And the support for Hezballah is very heavy in Dearborn, and the probability of them supporting such an operation is very high indeed. In fact, as noted by Debbie Schlussel it was 18 years ago to the day of this bombing a Hezballah suicide bomber with family ties to Dearborn was one of the suicide bombers in the attack on the AMIA Jewish Friends center in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Iran and Hezballah are certainly stepping up their terrorist attacks, and this is going to get ugly if it is allowed to continue without any effective retaliation.

Update: As pointed out by Proud Hillbilly in the comments, the bomber is a released inmate of Gitmo. So much for the narrative that they're all a bunch of poor inocents locked up there. Debbie Schlussel has a lot more on this scumbag and how he happened to be set free to kill again.

Hizballah vs CIA, Spy v. Spy, and Mole v Mole.

Last Week, with much fanfare, Hizballah announced it had rolled up a CIA spy ring in its organization.

AP: Hezbollah unravels CIA spy network in Lebanon.

Michael Totten, who is always worth paying attention to, notes an interesting argument that this announcement reveals more weakness about Hezbollah and its ability to be compromised by foreign agents than it does about Hizballah's counterintelligence prowess.

I'm rather curious myself as to whether Hizballah's alleged agent at the FBI and CIA, Nadia Prouty, was a factor in providing information and intel to Hizballah that led to them detecting and rolling up the CIA spy ring.
