Beirut: Israel Bombs Several Banks, Claiming They are Hezbollah Bases

Andrew Anglin October 21, 2024

Israel just does the same thing over and over again and if you don’t like it they’ll destroy you.

Every hospital and children’s school in Gaza was a Hamas base, now Hezbollah is building bases inside of banks.

The Guardian:

Hundreds of Beirut residents fled their homes on Sunday night as blasts were heard across its southern suburbs after Israel’s military said it was preparing strikes on branches of a banking system linked to Hezbollah, a further escalation of Israel’s nearly month-long war against the militant group.

Reuters witnesses saw dense plumes of black smoke billowing in the air in Lebanon’s capital after at least 10 blasts. Witnesses, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said a building located in the Chiyah neighbourhood in the southern suburbs was reduced to rubble and the few people in the area had fled ahead of the explosion, resulting in no casualties.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) had warned people to immediately leave areas linked to Al-Qard Al-Hassan Association, a US-sanctioned financial organisation that has more than 30 branches across Lebanon including 15 in densely populated parts of central Beirut and its suburbs.

It’s a conundrum when the Jews tell you to evacuate, because half the time they’re just trying to lure you out onto the road so they can murder you more efficiently.

The National news agency (NNA) in Lebanon reported 11 strikes in southern Beirut, many of them targeting Al-Qard Al-Hassan. Other strikes hit the association in Lebanon’s eastern Bekaa valley and in the country’s south, NNA added.

It also reported that a strike had landed near Beirut’s airport, the main entry-point of humanitarian assistance to the country and a major evacuation hub for those fleeing the conflict. AFP footage showed large plumes of smoke rising close to the facility.

There was no immediate information on what caused the blasts, or details of any casualties. Panicked crowds clogged the streets and caused traffic jams in some parts of Beirut as they tried to get to neighbourhoods thought to be safer, witnesses told Reuters.

The US says Al-Qard al-Hassan is used by Iran-backed Hezbollah to manage its finances. It provides loans and services primarily to people who live in areas where the militia group is popular.

…

Asked by journalists whether the branches could be considered military targets, a senior Israeli intelligence official said: “The purpose of this strike is to target the ability of Hezbollah economic function both during the war but also afterwards to rebuild and to rearm … on the day after.”

Yes, the purpose of this new front of the war is to completely destroy Hezbollah, just as the Gaza war is intended to completely destroy Hamas. These are not realistic objectives, but that’s fine because it doesn’t matter; this is all just about sucking the United States into the conflict, turning it into a massive, decade-long war across the region that is primarily not based around plain military objectives but rather simply creating total chaos.

Remember that Israel supported ISIS against Assad. They have no problem with complete chaos, crazies running around chopping people’s heads off and drowning people in cages. That’s considered “safe” by these paranoid Jews, and it’s a lot easier than “regime change.”
