As tensions flare up across the Middle East, Israel has once again found itself in the crosshairs of radical terror groups. Ever since Hamas’s brutal massacre on October 7th, where innocent Israeli civilians were slaughtered and more than 100 hostages were taken, the situation has only escalated. And while the world is still grappling with the horror of that attack, Hezbollah in Lebanon decided it was their turn to jump into the fray.
Rockets and missiles started raining down from Lebanon into northern Israel, forcing the evacuation of tens of thousands of Israelis. But here’s where Israel shows why it’s always three steps ahead: its retaliation against Hezbollah has been nothing short of brilliant.
In the past week, Israel struck back at Hezbollah in a way that didn’t just demonstrate military strength, but also pure ingenuity. For decades, Israel has had to defend itself against enemies who use civilians as shields, launch rockets from residential areas, and hide weapons in schools.
But this time, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) took an approach that was as genius as it was effective, proving once again why the IDF is the most capable defense force in the region.
As always, the Democrats in the U.S., like Kamala Harris, Tim Walz, and Joe Biden, will probably stay silent or issue their usual weak-kneed statements about “restraint.” Let’s be real—when it comes to standing with Israel, the Biden administration has been more interested in appeasing Iran and its proxies, like Hezbollah, than actually backing our most important ally in the Middle East.
Israel’s Targeted Strikes Against Hezbollah
Hezbollah, a terror group that has essentially turned southern Lebanon into its own personal military base, decided to escalate the situation by planting electronic explosive devices across Lebanon. After two rounds of deadly explosions, Israel responded swiftly and decisively.
From Fox News:
Israel launched a series of overnight strikes on sites in Lebanon where the Israeli military says Hezbollah terrorists operated. The strikes follow two waves of deadly electronic device explosions across Lebanon.The Israeli strikes targeted infrastructure sites in southern Lebanon, including the areas of Chihine, Tayibe, Blida, Meiss El Jabal, Aitaroun and Kfarkela, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said Thursday. Israel also struck a Hezbollah weapons storage facility in Khiam.
Now, let’s talk about these strikes. Israel didn’t just lob a few missiles over the border and call it a day. No, Israel targeted key Hezbollah infrastructure—everything from weapons storage facilities to command posts.
And while the IDF was busy dismantling Hezbollah’s military capabilities, Hezbollah was dealing with something much more humiliating on their end: their own devices were blowing up, killing their operatives (in some cases, blowing off their man parts) and injuring thousands of their own people.
Hezbollah’s Own Devices Turn Against Them
It turns out that Hezbollah’s arrogance has led to their own undoing. In what can only be described as a stroke of military genius, Israel found a way to trigger explosions in hundreds of electronic devices used by Hezbollah operatives. The result? Absolute chaos for Hezbollah.
From Fox News:
Hundreds of pagers used by Hezbollah members exploded on Tuesday, killing 12 people, including two children, and wounding some 2,800 others.Another wave of electronic devices detonated on Wednesday, killing at least 25 and wounding more than 450. Hezbollah officials said the devices included walkie-talkies and solar equipment.
Just think about that for a second. Hundreds of Hezbollah operatives were taken out, not by airstrikes or missiles, but by their own devices—pagers, walkie-talkies, and even solar equipment. While Hezbollah was busy planning their next attack on Israel, they were suddenly hit by a wave of explosions, leaving their ranks decimated and their leaders humiliated.
And who can they blame? Themselves, for getting outsmarted by the IDF.
This wasn’t just a military victory for Israel; it was a massive psychological blow to Hezbollah. Imagine being a Hezbollah fighter, armed with what you think are tools for communication and coordination, only to have them turn against you. It’s enough to shake the morale of even the most hardened terrorist.
Biden and the Democrats Stay Silent—Again
Now, you’d think that such a decisive and ingenious victory by Israel would get some applause from the international community, especially from Israel’s supposed allies in the West. But, as usual, the Democrats are either silent or issuing their standard, half-hearted calls for “restraint.”
President Biden, Kamala Harris, and their friends in the Democratic Party have spent the last few years cozying up to Iran, the same regime that funds Hezbollah and Hamas. Instead of unequivocally backing Israel’s right to defend itself, they’re more interested in reviving the Iran Nuclear Deal, a deal that would only further embolden Iran’s terrorist proxies.
While Biden and Harris may not want to admit it, Israel is fighting a battle that’s not just about its own survival, but about defending Western values in one of the most volatile regions of the world. And yet, time and again, Democrats hesitate to stand with Israel, opting instead for some ridiculous idea of “moral equivalence.”
Key Takeaways
- Israel’s strikes on Hezbollah in Lebanon not only targeted infrastructure but used Hezbollah’s own devices to cause devastating explosions, showing military ingenuity.
- Hezbollah suffered massive losses, including 37 dead and thousands wounded due to their own devices turning against them.
- The Biden administration and Democrats remain mostly silent, failing to fully support Israel as they prioritize appeasing Iran and its proxies.
