Reports said it is a “turning point for the Middle East” that will open the door “to peace and normalization.”
“The influence of the Muslim Brotherhood and Islamist radicals is fading, and the region is on a path to a brighter future. Well done, Israel! You’ve made history and changed the Middle East for the better. Whether one supports Israel or not, it is undeniable that today, they have served humanity,” one commentary said.
Hassan Nasrallah’s daughter has arrived under heavy guard at the scene of the massive destruction of Hezbollah HQ in Beirut. We don’t know if her father is alive, but let’s just say she’s not there to pay her respects to the janitors.

“There is almost zero possibility that Hassan Nasrallah is alive, if he is alive, he will be killed in the coming days.”

Two senior Israeli officials said that the first discussion on the possibility of assassinating Nasrallah took place on Wednesday before Netanyahu’s trip to New York. The officials said it was decided to wait for an operational opportunity which arrived on Friday https://t.co/VXzio5MWTD

A report from NBC said Israel confirmed it struck Hezbollah’s headquarters in southern Beirut, after there were sightings of the smoke from a huge bomb blast in that area.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had just defended his country’s actions in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon in an address to the United Nations General Assembly.
Meanwhile, Hezbollah operatives are continuing to fire missiles into Israel, triggering sirens in the northern city of Haifa.
The report confirmed Israeli fighter jets have struck at targets deep in Lebanon, including locations from which missiles are launched at Israel.
The United Kingdom immediately urged its nationals to leave Lebanon on the “next available flight,” the report said.
Also, Israeli locations were on elevated alert should there be a response from the terrorists.
