  1. At least 10 injured in northern Israel, after Hezbollah launches attack from Lebanon
    From CNN's Tamar Michaelis and Jonny Hallam

    At least 10 people were injured in northern Israel on Wednesday following a drone assault from the militant group Hezbollah in Lebanon, according to Israeli authorities.

    One person was severely injured, one moderately and eight lightly, Israel's Magen David Adom (MDA) emergency service said. An MDA ambulance driver was also injured by shrapnel when he arrived at the scene of the attack.

    Several launches identified from Lebanon fell in Hurfeish, a town in northern Israel, according to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), which said, "No sirens were sounded, the incident is under review."

    An Israeli military source told CNN their initial assessment was that Hezbollah militants launched at least one explosive unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in the assault.

    Tensions ramp up: The Iranian-backed-Hezbollah has increased attacks on Israel's border in recent months, saying they are in protest at Israel's war in Gaza. Just this week, cross-border attacks from Lebanon led to large fires blazing through Israel’s northern region, burning through patches of land and triggering evacuations.

    Uncle Joe is no cold warrior like Richard Nixon who resupplied Israel during the 1973 war.

    In other news, there was a war and people died.

    But because they are not Jews, we don't give a flying fuck about them.

    Trump can stop the Russia - Ukraine war in 24 hours.

    Trump can probably stop the Israel - Hamas (& Lebanon) war in 24 hours too.

    "US incredibly concerned" means American taxpayers will give many more billions to Israel to do whatever they want. Must be good to be Israeli, US taxpayers pay for your defense and you just enjoy life and count money.

  8. Yeah, for sure! But for now Trump needs train in MMA and lift weights, so he can avoid gang rape by a pack of convicts in the Rikers bathroom.

    95 %+ of aid money buys weapons from American Defense companies, thereby creating well paid manufacturing jobs for Americans. Furthermore, the weapons are then battle tested and info. shared with the US.
