IDF says Hezbollah launched 30 rockets into Israel, no casualties reported

Fighting between Hezbollah and Israeli forces in the north has intensified in recent weeks

Hezbollah launched 30 rockets from Lebanon into northern Israel early Monday, though no casualties were reported, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed.

"Following sirens that sounded a short while ago in northern Israel, approximately 30 projectiles were identified crossing from Lebanon toward the area of Kabri, a number of which fell in open areas," an IDF spokesman said. "No injuries were reported."

The barrage came amid anticipation of retaliatory strikes by Iran and its proxy forces in the region against Israel for the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran late last month.

Fighting between Hezbollah militants in Lebanon and Israeli forces in the north has intensified in recent weeks, sparking fears that the month-long conflict in Gaza will spread.

Hezbollah, late last month confirmed the death of Faud Shukr, its "No. 2" commander who was involved in the 1983 Beirut bombings of a Marine barracks bombing that killed 241 U.S. military personnel.

The IDF strike served as a response to an attack that killed a dozen youths in Israel's Golan Heights, but Hezbollah continues to deny any involvement in that attack, while the IDF identified Shukr as the mastermind behind the attack.

Meanwhile, U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has ordered a guided missile submarine to the Middle East and is telling the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier strike group to sail more quickly to the area, the Defense Department said Sunday.

The U.S. and other allies are pushing for Israel and Hamas to achieve a cease-fire agreement that could help calm soaring tensions in the region following the assassination of Haniyeh and Shukr.

Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder, Pentagon press secretary, said in a statement that Austin spoke with Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant earlier in the day, and reiterated America's commitment "to take every possible step to defend Israel and noted the strengthening of U.S. military force posture and capabilities throughout the Middle East in light of escalating regional tensions."

If this is going "hot" why not send a first salvo and sink Abraham Lincoln sitting duck aircraft carrier. Oh - it would be easy peasy.

After that - send some drones underwater to take out all the support vessels.

After then send a volley towards Israel - they are the enemy of humanity - are they not - the zibaboos who reside there and get off on killing innocence?

Well - ain't it time to take the battle to them direct? What is there to lose?

Cause if they KILL innocence in one place and it goes without response, then all innocence will die - and so will all of humanity.

Seems an easy choice to make.

Buffalo_Ken - Abraham Lincoln was NOT a great president - he defiled the founding principles and that is that. So, wouldn't it be ironic after that sitting duck Aircraft Carrier is sunk - and then those thought they were exceptional learn the hard way - central authority is a dead end road.

Buffalo_Ken - a few links for consideration you fools:

[Link]

Chinese researchers claimed in a May 2023 research journal report that the country’s hypersonic missiles could destroy a U.S. carrier group “with certainty.” This capability threatens to sideline U.S. aircraft carrier groups in the Pacific, potentially shifting the strategic balance of power and leaving the U.S. with limited options for assisting Taiwan in the event China invades.

[Link]

Russian Navy ships currently deploy only one weapon system dedicated to sinking US aircraft carriers – the P-700 Granit (SS-N-19 ‘Shipwreck’) missile.The 7,000 kg Granit is a giant with a 750 kg warhead and a 500 kt yield. It can fly at speeds up to Mach 1.6 at low altitude and Mach 2.5+ at high altitude. The Granit can also be armed with a thermonuclear warhead and has a maximum range of 625 km.A single Granit hit, even with a conventional warhead, would most likely cripple an aircraft carrier.Russian Navy Kirov-class heavy guided-missile cruisers/battlecruisers are armed with the Granit missile. The nuclear-powered cruisers have a full load displacement of 28,000 t and can carry a complement of 20 x P-700 missiles.

Uh - sinking an aircraft carrier is often worth the effort and do it when the planes are taking off and landing for maximum effect.

My guess is a single hypersonic missile coming in so fast it can't be defended against is all it will take - and odds are the folks in Yemen already have one in their hands. As well as the folks in Iran, North Korea, and other places you elitist fools. Hard lessons on the way. Turkey, the forces in Syria, and maybe the ones in Iraq probably already have said missiles, as do the ones in Egypt and probably South Africa as well. Nigeria, Brazil, and France as well - seriously - aircraft carriers are sitting ducks.

Buffalo_Ken Hypersonics rule the sky...thus far !

Buffalo_Ken · 2024-08-14T00:20:41Z

Gator - correct and aircraft carriers 20th century war machines are sitting ducks!

Gator · 2024-08-14T00:21:37Z

Buffalo_Ken Yes, agreed. And not at all the bastion of safety an aircraft carrier once was....ha ha. Bombs away !

Buffalo_Ken · 2024-08-14T00:28:21Z

Gator - I think tis time to sink one of them and then lets see if they can hide that refutation of the ignominy. I doubt they can - and perhaps there ought be drones to create a video of it all - but don't let the drones potentially disrupt the mission of the intent to send a hypersonic missile into a carrier - if that is the intent don't try to turn it into narrative above and beyond - just let the missile speak for itself. Others will likely capture images of the event - and let it be a total unexpected event with a message of determination for peace.

If I was on an Aircraft Carrier I'd be asking for some shore leave just now - cause who wants to die for ideas misbegotten?

Bunch of fools....faggots....eff em. Sorry for those gonna end up on the bottom of the ocean - seems damn near inevitable. That sucks - I blame those never been in a war direct and making choices out of hubris.

Buffalo_Ken sinking a carrier would take some next level balls. You gotta admit that Mr. Ken.

Buffalo_Ken · 2024-08-14T21:41:49Z

Giant Meteor 24 - well - something has to be done.....

Giant Meteor 24 · 2024-08-15T03:20:30Z

Buffalo_Ken True- but who is willing to deal with the ensuing nukes?

Buffalo_Ken · 2024-08-15T03:36:18Z

Giant Meteor 24 - this was foreshadowing about the way to get rid of bullies - there may be something to it and there may not - but at the end of the day - those who love humanity ought do anything in their power - in their will - to keep weapons of destruction from destroying us all - so the die is cast - and is it a surprise to you that bullies would go "nuclear" - it ain't to me - cause they don't know how to do anything besides doubling-down on ideas wrong - the rest of the world knows better and we sit and watch and wait....meanwhile babies continue to die in Gaza...

Tis a war of ideologies I reckon - and may the best ideas prevail - and if anybody think nuclear elimination of all humanity is a good idea, then that is most telling - you are wrong.

[Link] - Israel is in Trouble

Buffalo_Ken · 2024-08-15T03:44:33Z

Giant Meteor 24 - just like so much happens today when the Aircraft Carrier gets "sunk" it will be shrouded in mystery to prevent citizens from knowing all the money spent on military foolishness has been wasted in graft and deception because - War is a Racket.

And for good measure - if the missile is sent to knock out an Aircraft Carrier, might as well get another the next day and another the day after that - even if it is in port - and at the same time have the missiles targeted upon the heads of those individuals directly responsible for keeping humanity from waking up to our shared past and are shared responsibility. Tis time to send these juvenile delinquents back upon the portal from wence they came. Their harm is evident - and so if there is no response - then that speaks to Plan B, which frankly means once again, humanity has failed as a species.

Giant Meteor 24 · 2024-08-15T04:57:18Z

Buffalo_Ken Wise you have become Mr Ken. I think your words are true...but i dont think anything is going down without a lot of grief and pain for most of humanity. We here have front row seats to the main event seems about to start. I'd say being more awake and aware has taken a lot of fear away but also being cognizant of the implications and knowing that most of my fellows are deeply asleep makes it more difficult.

Buffalo_Ken · 2024-08-15T18:37:41Z

Giant Meteor 24 - yeah.

I saw something Dr. Yeadon said recently that resonated with me - he said we can't stop bringing up topics some would just assume not discuss because it almost is "our duty" to tell it as we sense it - and maybe some will take note - and really - learning is a two way street.

I feel blessed to have friends and family who on par are not "so delicate" that we let opinions harm long-time relationships - my friends and family know that I " put it on the table " best I can - but I'm more the willing to say "I'm sorry" if I offend without thinking, and we all got a lot to learn - that is the beauty in a way ain't it - learning...

Best to you,

Ken
