Jonathan S. Tobin JNS, Sept. 20, 2024 “… although times and circumstances have changed, the Jews remain the primary boogeymen of Western thought.” It was the covert operation that inspired thousands of Internet memes. The simultaneous explosion of thousands of pagers in the possession of Hezbollah operatives followed a day later by a similar mass […]

Stephen Kalin, Summer Said and Anat Peled WSJ, Sept. 20, 2024 “Aqil was one of the most important figures in Hezbollah. He inherited Shukr’s role after his killing this summer, and before that maintained a low profile to avoid being targeted by Israel and the U.S.” Israel launched another major attack on Hezbollah on Friday, with a […]
Elizabeth Samson Middle East Forum, Sept. 19, 2024 “Putting aside the double standards held by the international community and the reflexive critique of Israel’s actions without acquisition of facts, and accepting that humanitarian law prohibits the intentional targeting of civilians during armed conflict, Israel’s operation nevertheless complied with international law.” Many analysts heralded this week’s […]
Michael R. Gordon and Shayndi Raice WSJ, Sept. 19, 2024 “Israel is restoring its deterrence brick by brick, operation by operation. … The message: We’ve deeply penetrated your systems and networks. We can kill any of you at any time—and will if you continue your war against us.” In a long history of audacious operations, exploding […]
Michael Doran Tablet, Sept. 19, 2024 “The great genius of the operation is that the Israelis relied on Hezbollah itself to select their targets for them. I can’t think of another case like this where the attackers just sat back and let the enemy perform a key part of their work for them.” A few […]

Zvika Klein Jerusalem Post, Sept. 19, 2024 “According to Lebanese media, Hezbollah has been busy fortifying its command posts, installing advanced defense systems, and running evacuation drills for its top brass.” Imagine you’re sitting in a dimly lit room, eyes glued to the screen, as Hassan Nasrallah, leader of Hezbollah, appears on a grainy […]
Yossi Yehoshua Ynet News, Sept. 19, 2024 “Based on statements coming from Lebanon and the depth of the damage to the organization, Israeli assessments suggest Hezbollah will respond—and in a different way than it has so far.” The second wave of strikes launched on Wednesday caused significant damage to Hezbollah, marking part of a […]
Editorial Board WSJ, Sept. 19, 2024 “… even when Israel meets that standard, as now in Lebanon, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says, “This attack clearly and unequivocally violates international humanitarian law.” She cried when funding passed for Israel’s Iron Dome that shoots down Hezbollah’s indiscriminate rocket attacks.” After Israel pulled off a covert operation against Hezbollah […]
David Horovitz Times of Israel, Sept. 19, 2024 “… even after Tuesday’s dramatic practical and psychological blow to Hezbollah, it remains conceivable that things could go either way.” Tuesday’s detonation of thousands of Hezbollah pagers across Lebanon and into Syria was a spectacular feat of intel, technology and execution — the starkest of contrasts to […]

Brendan O’Neill Spiked, Sept. 18, 2024 “The list of things that become ‘crimes’ when Israel does them grows longer every day.” Getting your balls blown off by a primed pager has got to be the most ‘f**k around, find out’ thing that has ever happened. It took place in Lebanon yesterday. To the approval […]
Israel Kasnett JNS, Sept. 18, 2024 “Lammy’s “blatant anti-Israel agenda will place the U.K.’s long-standing strategic alliance with Israel under intense strain.”” Earlier this month, the United Kingdom announced that it is imposing an “immediate” weapons embargo against Israel. The announcement came on the same day that American-Israeli Hersh Goldberg-Polin, all of 23 and […]
Daniel Pomerantz Algemeiner, Sept. 18, 2024 “There is some speculation that this “urgency” may be designed to preempt Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to the UN General Assembly later this month.” Due to the sheer volume of recent news stories concerning Israel, you may have missed two mostly unnoticed but important developments regarding Israel in the […]
