You are funny bro...!!
The bait is for Iran and her proxies and the proxies have swallowed it already remaining Iran...!!

Infact the main target is Iran but seems they are more smarter than their proxies...!! They prefare to settle for the title of world champion in issuing of threat...!!!

Southern Lebanon in the coming days would be hell for hezbollah, Hamas is already surrounded and been squeeze d of life at the moment with clearance operation been carried out in gaza....so concentration would now be shifted to hezbollah to treat them of their insanity...!!!

The main goal is Iran and they are waiting for them to make a single mistake by shooting any projectile from Iran into Israel...!!

Algeria who were chest beating and been approved by their parliament to enter the war have not shown face yet and don't know whats keeping them or probably they are having a rethink of their stupidity..!! grin

As for houthi, they are by the way and Saudi and other allied moslem countries are there to play ludo with them so not even worth wasting time on...!!
Fanfare fantasy. cheesy

Iran cannot be the target because Israel can never wage a direct and successful war with Iran. That's a fact. You overrate Israel too much. cool cool

Israel does not have the stomach to wage war against Iran, not to mention on multiple fronts against Islamic radical groups. There is a reason why the US quickly rushed two of its aircraft carrier strike groups to the Med immediately the IDF started it's operation against Hamas. Israel does not have the ability to wage war on multiple fronts at the moment, which the US knows and which is what exactly the Iranian side through its proxies is looking for.

Uncle Sam has been sending backdoor messages to Iran that it does not seek to engage it militarily. Man, Iran is no joke militarily otherwise, the US and its proxies would have created an excuse to invade and wage war on it since time immemorial.

What Hezbollah is doing in the South of Lebanon is "baiting" Israel to escalate further deep into Lebanon, a trap and the consequences of which the US understand perfectly, hence the recent US warning to Israel not to take that route.

It's funny how some of you simply write off Iran's ability to wage war of any type. cool

Be informed. cool

All the war games scenarios that the US war planners have gamed against Iran turned out to be a disaster for them. In all, they could not win a direct war with Iran without massive damage to itself and it's interest across the region.

When Trump took out Suleimani and dares Iran to retaliate and touch any of its asset in the region, the Iranian called their bluff and even told them where the missiles would hit. They struck all the way from Iran deep into Iraq, targeting the US military base over there. Well, we were told by the US presstitude that there were no casualties. cool But it later turned out that there were indeed casualties and the US shamefully swept it under the carpet because they knew they cannot afford to wage a direct war with Iran. cool That incident was one of the reasons General Miley never had a good relationship with Trump. cool

So, if Iran could do it then, what makes you think they cannot do it now?. Touch them and find out. cool

The US is currently mounting pressure on the IDF war room not to escalate tensions with Lebanon for obvious reasons: Iran will simply have a reason to enter the war via full supply to Hezbollah, something that the US wants to avoid by every means. Even Netanyahoo in his madness knew it would be catastrophic for Israel to have a second front on the north, especially against a better armed and stronger Hezbollah. But Gallant and his crazy IDF war room mosquitoes are pushing Netanyahoo to take it further into Lenanon, another disaster that's waiting to happen.

Just the little skirmishes with Hezbollah across the border, and they have already lost about 40 soldiers and dozens of military machinery. Currently, Israel is spending around $260 million a day waging war against Hamas, a militant group that has no airforce or navy force, no real air defense system, and no APCs or tanks. Imagine if Lebanon decides to back Hezbollah to enter the war in full swing? Even if Israel would prevail at the end, at what cost? War in the modern era is no joke.

One thing that is helping Israel right now is the lack of consensus among the key Arab nations in the region (and I sincerely hope it continues that way for the greater good). But when push comes to shoves, some of those countries like Qatar, Jordan, pulling back their feet right now may be forced to act because the likelihood that their government would be overrun by their angry citizens is higher on a scale than not. It's then you would understand the massive influence Iran has in that part of the world.

As per Algeria, nobody expects them to enter into the war. What happened in the Algerian paliament was more of a symbolic move, an emotional response to the footage of massive civilian death of women, children directly targeted in Gaza by the IDF. But again, that also is sign of how fragile the region is at the moment. Anything can happen.

Hamas is being surrounded? grin

You mean to say all of Hamas fighters are in or under the hospital where they can be wiped out like flies? cool

So where are those rockets still flying from massively in Gaza into Israel if Hamas is already surrounded or if most of them have been killed already? You need to learn more about war of attrition. I would not be surprised if it's just a pocket of Hamas terrorists (if any) that are within that area.

Truth be told, Israel still has a long way to go in eliminating Hamas fully.

Modern Warfare no be joke.

⚡Israel is dropping leaflets over southern Lebanon, according to Al Mayadeen

It reads:

"An urgent message to the residents of South Lebanon.

The actions of the terrorist organization Hezbollah push the Israeli Defense Forces to act against it in the areas where you live.

For your safety, you must evacuate your homes immediately and head to the safe areas in northern Lebanon.

The IDF is not interested in harming you or any of your family members. Anyone who is near Hezbollah terrorists or the organization's facilities will put their lives in danger. A house used by terrorist organizations will be a target.

Adhering to the IDF's instructions will prevent you from being exposed to danger"
This is exactly what Hezbollah wanted, for Israel to escalate the fight by itself to give excuse for other actors to join dejure. Unfortunately, Netanyahoo is taking the bait. The only nation I pity the most is the US because its interest would suffer very much in the region once shite start hitting the fan.

Dangerous times ahead.

They believe the Jews are God's chosen people, despite all they do. That God's covenant with Abraham still stands.
It's only ignorant folks that reason like that.

Ask them what do you think is the blessing of Abraham? What is the Covenant of Abraham that so many Christians usually reference all the time?.

I will tell you, and it's not what they usually think it is.

The Blessings and the Covenant of Abraham that the Bible often talks about is nothing but the Lord Jesus Christ incarnated as Savior to redeem the world back to God. I know so many will find this strange because they don't even know their Bible. cool

Jews are not the only children of God in the world. That belief by so many is straight out of false teachings. The Jews as a tribe or let's say a nation are just the medium through which God made Himself known more to the whole world (for those in believe in Christianity and the doctrine of Salvation).

Jew when used as a term presupposes a state of righteous standing with God in the spiritual sense, not just in the abstract meaning of the term as a nation.

There were people who were never recorded as "Jewish" yet had personal relationship with God way before the Jewish nation was born.

You can't say the first man Adam was a Jew, yet he is the father of all living.

His sons, Cain and Abel were never Jews, yet they had encounter with God.

God is not a racist nor does he threat or judge people unequally.

Those who advocate without boundary that the Jews only are God's own children presupposes that all other races or group of people are by definition not children of God, which is a lie from the pit of hell.

You are a child of God by what you are inwardly, and not by the race or color you originate from.

In Romans 2:28-29, the person that God recognize as a real Jew is one that keeps the laws of God in deed, and not by the Jewish race or tribe they emanated from.

The Scribes, Pharisees, Sadducees, and Herodians (all religious sects) were all Jews yet, guess what Christ called them to be.

"Ye are of your father, the Devil". John 8:44-45.

Watch it. He called them children of the devil because they were doing the work of the devil, which was murder.

Now, check what the IDF is currently doing in Gaza in the name of self defense... Murdering innocent civilians, deliberately targeting hospitals, schools, and even shooting at ambulances and news crew vehicles in so much that it has triggered anger all across the world. What they accused Hamas of doing is what they're doing now, and even worst And you can tell that the Devil still has its children around in the character some of our religious bigots and shameless religious fanatics here devoid of any sense of human feelings are projecting, chanting and hailing on the IDF in their crime that is both against nature and man-made laws, just as the Bible described them... Romans 1:32.

That is why I don't bother to answer most of them here or elsewhere because in their warp beliefs, they think they're doing God a service by blindly supporting Israel even when Israel is on the wrong.

What is even funnier is that some of these people here thinks that by supporting Israel, they would be blessed and eventually make it to heaven. But they forgot that the same God that promised to bless those that blessed Israel and cursed those that cursed Israel also laid down rules for Israel to follow and curses upon Israel (including on those that support them blindly) where they violate such rules and openly rebelled against Godly principles. Deutoronomy 28:15-48.

I just dey laugh. cool

Most of those claiming to be Jews today and those supporting them are nothing but of the church of Satan. Revelation 3:9.

It's by their fruits you know them. cool

Are you shocked? The word "Jew" is what the artificial state of Israel is using to gain sympathy from the ignoramuses who roam the earth. When you hear the word "jew" then The Holocaust comes to your mind then you start pitying them.

When a Christian who is an ignoramus hear the word "jew" he sees them as the biblical jews who descended from father Abraham and there comes the pity and support again. So a Christian proselytizing and trying to convert them to Christianity is a threat their existence and must be dealt with.

That is why Christianity will never thrive in the country and Christians will continue to be endangered specie there.

Meanwhile the British military were awed at how Russia managed to destroy 7 Ukrainian fighter planes in the space of 15 hours, despite the fact that NATO has an overwhelming SINGIT and 24 hours rotational AWACS over the skies in the Baltic and Black Sea coast, which acts as cover for the Ukrainian fighters and air defense systems whenever Russian planes takes off from their bases or when missiles are incoming from Russia land and sea based stand-off strike assets. cool

Well, it turns out out that one of the purported completely new systems that Russia is using to render ineffective NATO's 'all-seeing eye' over the Ukrainian war theatre is the SU-57. cool The Brits grudgingly admitted that Russia has been using this stealth fighter to inflict pain on the Ukrainian airforce since January this year. Considering how the west earlier ridiculed the SU-57 in it's production stages, it's funny seeing how they're admitting its superiority on the battlefield, being the only Stealth fighter that has successfully tasted 'real combat' and recorded multiple kills in a 'near peer' capable and highly contested environment. Unlike the F-22 and F-35 that has only seen combats against farmers and horse riders. cool

In a nutshell, the SU-57 vis-a-vis it's hypersonic air-to-air R-37M missile ranged up to 400km has successfully confined the Ghost of Kiev to the fictional books of history while looking down ridiculously at the overhyped F-22 raptor and the flying coffin F-35--two projects that has proven to be a waste of taxpayers money, and has the uneviable records of turning into submarines at their own will when they're not snapping off their pilot's neck. grin

But why am I not surprised? Well, let's do the maths: cool

F-22 + F-35 = SU-57. grin grin

Russia will surround Europe with military bases:

The Russian military and the Libyan National Army (LNA) of Khalifa Haftar have renewed contacts and relations.

According to reports, the parties intend to conclude a defense agreement, which could lead to the creation of a naval base on the Libyan coast.

In this case, Russian ships will be close to Italy and Greece, they will control the south of Europe. This means that Russia will also suround Europe militarily.


Due to the experience of the Russians from the war in Ukraine that Europe has lost its independence and is under the strong command of the US, Russia now does not seem to sit idly by and will put maximum military pressure on Europe.

And now instead of NATO on the borders of Russia, it seems that there will be Russia on the borders of NATO.

Libya is located in a very favorable geographical position in the Mediterranean Sea and from here Russia can have a huge influence in the Mediterranean.
