Massive Israeli attack levels entire residential block in Beirut in reported assassination attempt on Hasan Nasrallah - eviltoast
Israel completely flattened at least six residential buildings in Beirut’s southern Dahiya district with 2000-pound bombs amid claims that Hezbollah leader Hasan Nasrallah was the target.

Israel conducted an unprecedented airstrike on Beirut’s southern Dahiya district on Friday evening in what Israeli media described as an attempt to assassinate Hezbollah’s Secretary General, Hasan Nasrallah.

The strike targeted and leveled six residential buildings. The Israeli army’s spokesperson, Daniel Hagari, released a video statement shortly after the strike claiming that the buildings contained Hezbollah’s “Central Headquarters.” Lebanese media reported that over 10 Israeli missiles were dropped in less than three minutes on the complex, situated in the Haret Hreik area in Dahiya. The Israeli army’s radio said that Israeli F-35 fighter jets dropped 2000-pound bunker-buster bombs on the residential buildings.

Lebanese first responders continue rescue efforts to pull out survivors from under the rubble. As of the time of writing, the number of civilians killed has not been specified.

The Israeli army’s radio quoted a military source saying that any person who was present in the targeted buildings “will not come out alive.” The Lebanese Health Minister, Firas al-Abyad, said that some of the buildings targeted were “full of civilian residents.”

    I just feel so depressed over this. I feel stupid because I’m some random American in a safe state and it’s nowhere near the fear and terror Israel’s victims feel on a daily basis. But shits looking really grim for the Resistance… Israel really is a sick, rotten genocidal society and no one can stand up because they have overwhelming military power. If the world was a just place, Israel would have been invaded by a coalition force and dismantled back in November

    I would be if an IDF soldier could livestream themselves dismembering a baby on live television nothing would happen. Nothing. They can do whatever the fuck they want. IDF serial rapists are celebrated in their media, they basically have a Dirlewanger Brigadee running around Gaza and it’s ALL DOCUMENTED. Entire neighborhoods that used to have the sounds of children playing and families bonding together are completely flattened.

    Meanwhile my country’s military looks on at the slaughter from offshore as a threat to anyone who might step in to stop this. Like a bully’s dad cheering on his son beating up another kid.
