An Israeli strike on south Lebanon on Monday killed a senior commander in Hezbollah’s elite Radwan force, three security sources told Reuters.

The security sources identified him as Wissam al-Tawil, the deputy head of a unit within the Radwan force. They said he and another Hezbollah fighter were killed when their car was hit in a strike on the Lebanese village of Majdal Selm.

“This is a very painful strike,” one of the security sources said. Another said, “things will flare up now.”

Israeli bombardment has killed more than 130 Hezbollah fighters in southern Lebanon since cross-border shelling began in the aftermath of Hamas’s attack on Israeli territory on Oct. 7. Another 19 have been killed in Syria.

Hezbollah’s secretary-general Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah warned Israel in two televised addresses last week not to launch a full-scale war on Lebanon.

    Nah, Biden’s just a spineless Democrat completely and utterly incapable of standing up for any value if it means going against “allies”, even if those monsters are committing a literal genocide. He is a spineless Democrat and fundamentally too weak to stand up to fascists. This is why real progressives fucking HATE democrats. They are sometimes genuinely worse than an openly evil enemy everyone hates because they provide room for otherwise good people to do nothing.

    Note that pointing out these truths about Democrats is in no way what so ever any kind of endorsement of Republicans. They are obviously anti-American fascists.
