Massive Criminal U.S./Zionist Airstrike Assassinates Hezbollah Leader

The Israeli army launched a massive airstrike targeting a residential area in the southern suburbs of Beirut on September 27. The target of the strike was Hezbollah's Secretary-General, Sayeed Hassan Nasrallah.

Israeli media reports say the Zionist regime had informed the United States of the attack shortly before it was carried out. Israeli army radio said that F-35 aircraft carried out the aggression using bunker-buster bombs. Israeli media reported that 2,000 tons of explosives were dropped on Beirut's Southern Suburb. Six buildings were razed to the ground as a result of the Israeli aggression.

Israel said on September 26 it had secured an $8.7 billion aid package from the U.S. government to support its ongoing military assaults on Lebanon and Gaza and to maintain a "qualitative military edge in the region," Reuters reported. The package includes $3.5 billion for critical military purchases and $5.2 billion for air defence systems, including the Iron Dome anti-missile system, David's Sling, and an advanced laser system.

"This substantial investment will significantly strengthen critical systems such as Iron Dome and David's Sling while supporting the continued development of an advanced high-powered laser defense system currently in its later stages of development," Israel's Defense Ministry said in a statement.

Reuters reported in late June that Israel's allies in the U.S. had sent more than 10,000 highly destructive 2,000-pound bombs and thousands of Hellfire missiles since the start of the war in Gaza last October. The news agency added that the Pentagon had transferred at least 14,000 of the MK-84 2,000-pound bombs, 6,500 500-pound bombs, 3,000 Hellfire precision-guided air-to-ground missiles, 1,000 bunker-buster bombs, 2,600 air-dropped small-diameter bombs, and other munitions.

While this is devastating fire power, the history of humankind has confirmed time and time again that it is not weapons which are decisive in battle but the justice of the cause of the Resistance fighters who stay true to their aim.
