Lebanese resistance forces continue successfully repelling Zionist attacks on southern Lebanon. Tel Aviv's losses are growing. Snip:

“The enemy's losses, according to what the Islamic Resistance fighters monitored, amounted to more than 70 dead and more than 600 wounded officers and soldiers of the Israeli enemy army,” the statement said.

It adds that 28 Merkava tanks, four military bulldozers, an armed vehicle, and an armored troop carrier were destroyed by the Lebanese resistance.

The toll “does not include the Israeli enemy's losses in military bases, sites and barracks in the north and depth of occupied Palestine.”

The statement confirms that Israeli forces have not been able to establish control over or occupy any villages and that the troops have only been able to advance short distances into southern Lebanese villages, given the intensity of the resistance’s operations.

I like this meme. Because it is true

Wow great read and some nice hopium!

I like this:

And America itself can't even show up, they're actually in the middle of a long retreat from the world, furiously throwing proxies in front of themselves and resorting to open terrorism.

It conjures up images of an old American style cartoon character whipping out things to put in front of them as they hastily backpedal.

I liked this part:

'Israel' depends on America for everything now, making the non-entity a non-entity. They're just delivery boys for American bombs, working on colonial commission.

I think the author might have meant "making the entity a non-entity" though

[-] nohaybanda@hexbear.net 7 points 2 days ago

Nah. He makes a point to call them a non-entity every chance he gets. Even when it sounds goofy, which is a commitment to the bit I can respect

[-] Fishroot@hexbear.net 49 points 2 days ago

People often say war is about technology and force. But modern war is about how much sacrifice you can muster.

I don’t expect a country like israel to “win” a war

[-] miz@hexbear.net 71 points 2 days ago

Weapons are an important factor in war, but not the decisive factor; it is people, not things that are decisive. The contest of strength is not only a contest of military and economic power, but also a contest of human power and morale. People necessarily wield military and economic power.

Fucking America can't win a war. Afghanistan. They don't understand how wars are won and therefore don't know when not to get into one.

[-] BeamBrain@hexbear.net 39 points 2 days ago

Fascists and sucking at war, name a more iconic duo

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 47 points 2 days ago

The Israeli army has not released an updated figure of the number of soldiers who have been killed in south Lebanon ground operations.

What is the Lebanese army doing? Is it just sitting this out while Hezbollah and Israel fight over southern Lebanon?

[-] ComradeMonotreme@hexbear.net 46 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

The Lebanese military is pretty small and technologically outdated. The most charitable assessment is they are not capable of conventionally fighting Israel and would want to be able to maintain peace after any fighting stops, because they've had to deal with opportunistic groups like ISIS in the past etc. The realpolitik is that Lebanon is a multi-faith and politically fragmented country, a bunch of Christian generals would rather Hezbollah and Israel fight it out weakening each other.

[-] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 29 points 2 days ago

I read something someone mentioned a while back that apparently the US' laws on the Lebanese government severely hampered their ability to arm themselves or to develop an army akin to Germany post WW2 (but I've no idea if they're right or not)

Dude in first clip is a chad. That is a man who signed up to fight and has absolutely no fear of death.

[-] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 11 points 2 days ago

The IOF person holding the camera in the second clip is lucky they didn't get shot with friendly fire when the other tripped lmao

[-] Fidel_Cashflow@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 days ago

heads up, your second link says "twiter", instead of twitter

[-] AssortedBiscuits@hexbear.net 10 points 2 days ago

Thanks for the heads up.

[-] Andrzej3K@hexbear.net 22 points 2 days ago

This just makes me think they're definitely going to deploy nukes 😬

[-] Teekeeus@hexbear.net 31 points 2 days ago

zionist professor martin van creveld in 2003:

"We possess several hundred atomic warheads and rockets and can launch them at targets in all directions, perhaps even at Rome. Most European capitals are targets for our air force."

thonk

Honestly, this sounds like some weirdo crank just talking out his ass. There's no strategic purpose for this.

[-] REgon@hexbear.net 16 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

There's no strategic purpose for this.

Israel is currently getting its' ass handed to it and is agitating to open more fronts. I don't know how strategic that state is

[-] Teekeeus@hexbear.net 6 points 2 days ago

muh seven front war

[-] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 13 points 2 days ago

The Zionazis will not deploy nukes on land it wants to take for itself. The treat of nukes is more towards Iran, or Euope or the US in a MAD Samson Option - I can't have it, no one can - final lash if it is not supported.

What if Israel is threatening the west? Then again why is that in any way acceptable? You'd think it would be grounds to isolate and neutralize Pissreal. Politicians act like they are under a gun any time the topic is brought up.

The reason being is Greater Israel - that is their entite motive. They think they are entitled to half the Middle East. They will not irradiate what they want to live in, despite polluting the shit out of it with heavy metals and white phosphorus.

Would Bibi deploy a nuke at the west to false flag to prolong his reign and stay out of jail? What if they toss a nuke in the ukkkraine Russia conflict? Suitcase bomb. Make it look like it came from one side to provoke another or nato-cool

Pissreal is full of fanatical fascist zealots. Think of the most insane shit and you'll probably be close to or conservative of the actual truth.

Is there any clear info on Hezbollah casualties?

[-] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 24 points 2 days ago

I think one of them broke his foot shoving it up an IOF terrorist's backside
