The IDF: We have detected Hezbollah's preparations to fire missiles at the State of Israel - we are attacking to remove the threat. After the launchers have been eliminated, the IDF approves the re-opening of Ben Gurion airport, starting at 7:00. Amir Tsarfati, August 25: Hezbollah claims they targeted a military facility in Israel. One day in the not too distant future, someone in the Middle East is going to push things too far, and it will set off a tsunami of destruction that will shock the entire planet. Israel is armed to the teeth, and Israel’s enemies are armed to the teeth. An all-out war in the Middle East should not be an option for anyone, but we are now dangerously close to such a conflict. Very early on Sunday morning, Hezbollah was preparing to fire an enormous number of rockets at targets deep inside Israel in response to the assassination of Fouad Shukur in Beirut last month. The Israelis figured out what was going on, and a massive pre-emptive strike against Hezbollah hit rocket launchers all over southern Lebanon. According to the Times of Israel, thousands of targets were struck during this operation… This was only possible because the IDF has had large numbers of aircraft in the air on a constant basis in recent weeks. If these aircraft had not been on alert, things could have turned out very differently. Could you imagine the scenario we would be facing right now if thousands of rockets had successfully reached major Israeli cities? Following the success of the IDF operation, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu boldly declared that “thousands of rockets that were aimed at northern Israel” had been destroyed… But some rockets did get through. The IDF and Hezbollah are giving us different numbers, but they both agree that large numbers of rockets and drones were fired into northern Israel… Needless to say, this was not the massive retaliation that Islamic militants throughout the Middle East were anticipating. This attack is being widely viewed as a “failure”, and Hezbollah is being ruthlessly mocked on social media. In particular, some Arabic social media accounts are finding humor in the fact that some chicken farms in northern Israel were damaged… For now, an all-out war has been avoided. Hezbollah is able to claim that it got “revenge” for the killing of Fouad Shukur, and Israel feels no need to respond with overwhelming force because not much damage was done. But both sides continue to prepare for the “final showdown” that they both know is coming. Of course when an all-out war erupts, it won’t just be Hezbollah that Israel is fighting. Syria has an army of approximately 170,000 soldiers, and Iran has an army of approximately 420,000 soldiers. If push comes to shove, the IDF is going to have a serious challenge trying to contend with a combined force of that size. In addition, Hezbollah, Syria and Iran all have vast arsenals of very sophisticated missiles. If Tel Aviv, Haifa and Jerusalem are being pummeled by thousands of missiles, Israeli leaders would not just sit back and do nothing. They would respond with overwhelming force, and Beirut, Damascus and Tehran would be flattened. So we should be very glad that all-out war has not erupted yet, but the truth is that it is coming. It is just a matter of time. Amir Tsarfati. August 26: Amir Tsarfati, August 27: Mark Zuckerberg just admitted three things: The President emotionally said to him: “Dear Farhan, how moving it is to hear your voice! Our brother has come home. Our brother has returned!”
Amir Tsarfati:
.....
IDF to the residents of southern Lebanon - your lives are in danger, evacuate north.
.....
Israel’s Ben Gurion airport is closed.
.....
More than 200 launches towards the north in the last two hours.
.....
Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defense Minister Galant preside over the event from the underground command center in Tel Aviv’s Kirya base.
.....
The White House: President Biden is following the events in Israel and Lebanon.
.....
As part of the latest assessment of the situation, Defense Minister Yoav Galant has now declared a special situation in the home front throughout the country.
The declaration of the state of emergency will allow the IDF to set special instructions for the population, limit gatherings and close sites in the relevant places.
.....
This is what the northern sky looks like in the last hour - Hezbollah at this stage manages to launch more than 150 rockets and UAVs into areas relatively close to the border.
.....
New York Times from a Western source: Israel destroyed launchers in Lebanon from which Hezbollah planned to launch missiles towards Tel Aviv and the central region, at 5:00 in the morning.
.....
Estimates in Israel:
Hezbollah will try to attack Tel Aviv in the coming hours.
.....
Based on foreign reports: Israel has so far been very successful in thwarting the attack planned by Hezbollah - launching about 1,000 rockets at a large number of targets, also deep in Israel.
The shocked Hezbollah launched about 200-300 rockets only into the northern region, and now the ball is in its court- if they will try to carry out another broad attack - they will get hit hard.
If they will choose to finish - we are back to yesterday.
.....
From what I hear - enormous U.S. pressure is applied on Israel NOT to broaden the strikes.
Not for nothing the United States Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Charles Brown, is here!
.....
France arrested Telegram founder Pavel Durov tonight.
Durov, who holds dual French and Russian citizenship, was arrested after arriving in France on his private plane.
He is charged with crimes of supporting terrorism, child exploitation, drug trafficking, money laundering and fraud - this is against the background of Telegram's non-cooperation with the French authorities to prevent activities carried out through Telegram.
The punishment for the charges against him reach up to 20 years in prison in France.
Basically, France is angry that there is no censorship on Telegram!
.....
The Israeli Air Force Strikes in Lebanon continue even now. Hezbollah seems to have been hit hard, and is confused. The launches towards the north of the country also continue.
.....
IDF: We hit thousands of launchers, a hundred planes were in the air at the same time.
According to the estimate, Hezbollah planned to launch 6000 rockets and drones towards Israel.
.....
NYT: With fears rising that a wider war could break out in the Middle East, the United States has steadily been moving Navy forces closer to the area, including two aircraft carrier groups and an attack submarine.

I guess that’s the secret training Why? It’s the only thing that was attacked and hit…. A chicken coop.
....
The New York Times:
The US provided Israel with an advanced underground vision radar to locate Sinwar and other Hamas leaders.
.....
Almost all Inbound Flights to Rafic Hariri International Airport in the Lebanese Capital of Beirut have been Canceled, due to the possibility of Major Escalation in the Region.
.....
Both Hamas and the Houthis live in a parallel universe, and both congratulate Hezbollah this morning for "the high-quality and great response it carried out against strategic targets in the depths of the Zionist entity."
Who is going to tell them about the chicken coop?
.....
Hezbollah is being mocked mercilessly on Arab social media. And the chicken AI memes won't stop.
.....
We are not going anywhere! Israel began to pave with asphalt the Philadelphi corridor!
.....
Surprise surprise!
Hamas rejects (for the 20th time) Israel’s terms for a ceasefire!
.....
Senator Lindsey Graham:
"Israel should warn the Ayatollah: 'If the hostages, whether alive or dead, aren't returned, we'll destroy your refineries.'"

Did Israel’s Massive Pre-Emptive Strike Delay The All-Out Apocalyptic War That Is Coming To The Middle East?
1. Biden-Harris Admin "pressured" Facebook to censor Americans.
2. Facebook censored Americans.
3. Facebook throttled the Hunter Biden laptop story.

.....
Widespread operations in Judea and Samaria have begun.
This is likely the largest operation in Judea and Samaria in 20 years, with air support available when necessary.
.....
The military operation in the West Bank today was needed because the levels of terrorist infrastructure in the area could no longer be ignored. Due to Iranian efforts to arm and train terrorists in the region, Hamas and other organizations are believed to have been weeks away from being able to launch suicide attacks inside Israel proper similar to those seen in the Second Intifada: buses, cafes, etc. This operation is designed to prevent that eventuality.
.....
