Biden to Hezbollah’s Rescue – Terrorists Now Safe In Beirut

T. Belman. Unbelievable. What “political echelon” is he referring to? Why would Netanyahu agree to this?

The suspension of operations in Beirut – due to a request from the political echelon, following Biden’s request

The Air Force has not attacked in Beirut for three days, due to a request from the political echelon.

This followed a conversation that took place on Wednesday between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. President Joe Biden, during which Biden asked to limit operations in the area.

The last operation in Beirut’s southern suburb occurred in the center, where, according to reports and senior officials of the Israeli Defense Forces, a senior Hezbollah operative, who was considered the right-hand man of Hassan Nasrallah, was eliminated in the operation.

  1. The Israel Defense Force states that several Precision-Strikes were carried out this morning against an Underground- Storage Site in the Dahieh Suburb of Southern Beirut, with the Site used by Hezbollah to store Strategic Weapons.

  3. On I24, Israel told, by US, to resolve quickly the Gaza issue or embargo will follow soon.
    This is blackmail!
    The US is already imposing a partial embargo. Adding insult to injury!

  4. “KAOS”! The preferred US foreign policy M O!
    According to thermodynamic principle, “chaos” is the system that consumes the LEAST amount of Energy and therefore the least UN-stable!!!
    Ukraine, Gaza and S Lebanon, three examples where this principle is applied.
    Taiwan is waiting!

  5. @Ted: your comment,

    Ministers lived over halt in strikes in Beirut: We will demand answers from Netanyahu

    looks like a badly spelled link. Unfortunately, it doesn’t lead anywhere. It might be “livid” rather than “lived”.

  6. Israel is said to be planning a “Large-Scale Response” against Hezbollah for yesterday’s Drone Attack on the Golani Brigade’s Training Base near Binyamina, which resulted in the Death of Four Soldiers.

    So will we see Beirut targets in this strike?

  8. From TOI

    Despite Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and anonymous officials issuing repeated denials of reports that the government ordered the IDF to avoid striking Beirut, the Kan public broadcaster says such an order was indeed issued on Friday, without informing security cabinet members….

    Netanyahu said today that Israel maintains freedom of operating throughout Lebanon and will strike anywhere needed, including Beirut, echoing denials issued earlier in the name of an anonymous senior Israeli official.

  9. After all the praise Netanyahu got recently, this cannot be allowed to proceed. If Biden can stop the IDF with a phone call, he can get all Israelis killed at the drop of an Iranian bomb. Bibi should tell Joe to get lost (for want of a polite word..).
    THAAD will not suffice and at best will cause many deaths elsewhere.

  10. TOI reports;

    After reports that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu instructed the IDF to stop striking targets in Beirut last week at the request of the Biden administration, a senior official says that Israel could strike in Beirut again soon.

    “Israel attacks everywhere in Lebanon, including Beirut. We proved this recently, and we will prove it again in the coming days, in accordance with operational considerations,” says the senior official.

    An Israeli official issued a similar denial of the reports yesterday.

    Hezbollah has now made use of the “pause” to hit an Israeli air base in Benyamina,

    The base in Benyamina was hit from a single drone sent from Lebanon, not unlike many thousands of drones which have been used to target Israel over the past months. I am unconvinced that the success of this attack was related to the delayed response of Israel’s attack on Iran, and notably, Israel has not paused its attacks in Lebanon where the ground incursion is not just ongoing but expanding. As explained in my comment below, Bibi denies Beirut being off limit due to pressure from the US, but we will see what takes place over the next day or so..

  12. Hezbollah has now made use of the “pause” to hit an Israeli air base in Benyamina, causing up to 67 Israeli casualties. Four soldiers killed, and more than 10 “critically” or “seriously” injured. I hope that Israel now ends the “pause,” whatever pressure they are under from Biden-Blinken-Sullivan.
