How can anybody justify murdering hundreds / thousands of innocent men, women and children to kill one person – can anybody imagine the outcry if Iran killed 1000 Israeli’s to kill the mass murderer Netanyahu – Mark
The Israeli Prime Minister says Israeli air strikes have killed two successors to Hezbollah’s slain leader, Hassan Nasrallah.

In Beirut at night, you hear the constant low-level hum of Israeli drones. Sometimes, when it appears two or three drones hover over a target, the sound reaches a crescendo and a massive explosion often follows. Hezbollah is unable to shoot down any of these drones which present a round-the-clock threat.
“We’ve degraded Hezbollah’s capabilities. We took out thousands of terrorists, including [Hassan] Nasrallah himself and Nasrallah’s replacement, and the replacement of the replacement,” he said, without naming the latter two.
Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant said Hashem Safieddine, the man expected to succeed Nasrallah, had probably been “eliminated”.
Later, Israeli military spokesman Daniel Hagari said Israel knew Safieddine was in Hezbollah’s intelligence headquarters when fighter jets bombed it last week and that his status was “being checked and when we know, we will inform the public”.
Safieddine has not been heard from publicly since that air strike, part of an escalating Israeli offensive after a year of border clashes with Hezbollah.
