Hezbollah has begun a massive bombardment of northern Israel and videos of rocket impacts are being shared.
Hezbollah is reportedly weakening the Iron Dome so that Iranian missiles and drones can successfully penetrate, possibly en route or about to be launched soon.… pic.twitter.com/9OIXlSIPVl

Yeah, well, Israel is entering a new phase too.
For Hezbollah, this is the “to the tunnels!” phase, because the Jews are going to invade.
The leader of Hezbollah has said that the Lebanese group’s conflict with Israel has entered “a new phrase” after the back-to-back assassinations of a senior commander and Hamas’s political chief that risk plunging the Middle East into a regional war.
In a televised address broadcast to about 1,000 mourners at the Beirut funeral of Hezbollah’s second-in-command, Fuad Shukr, Hassan Nasrallah vowed that the powerful Shia militia would seek revenge.
“The enemy, and those who are behind the enemy, must await our inevitable response … You do not know what red lines you crossed,” he said, in reference to Israel and its most important ally, the US.
Similar warnings of retaliation were made earlier in the day in Tehran, at a funeral procession for the Hamas political chief, Ismail Haniyeh. The 62-year-old was killed in the early hours of Wednesday – just hours after the missile attack on Shakur in Beirut – during a visit for the inauguration of Iran’s new president.
The Qatar-based official’s death is likely to affect progress in talks for a ceasefire and hostage release deal in the war in Gaza, which were already faltering.
Details of what happened are still unclear, but the New York Times reported on Thursday an explosive device was planted in the building weeks in advance. The publication, citing Iranian officials, also said the supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, had since issued an order to attack Israel.
Yes, clearly there is going to be some kind of attack on Israel.
Last time, Israel didn’t really even respond.
To be fair, Iran’s last attack didn’t really do any damage, but it did symbolically prove that Iran can hit inside of Israel if they want to.
Who knows what will happen next. I don’t know. Who even really gives a shit, honestly. I’m ready for this whole thing to just blow up, and for the cards to fall where they may.
Northern Israel right now: we hold the Lebanese government responsible for EVERY single Hezbollah rocket fired toward Israel.
We will not allow anyone to terrorize the people of Israel. pic.twitter.com/ZqN1tHk7cR
