Apparent retaliation for Israel’s murder of Lebanese and Palestinian leaders begins
Within the last half hour or so, a barrage of more than fifty rockets has been fired at northern Israel from southern Lebanon, in what is believed to be an act of retaliation for Israel’s murder of a senior Hezbollah official in Beirut – along with a large number of innocents, including children – and of Hamas peace negotiator Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran.
Israel’s ‘iron dome’ air defence system activated but it is unclear whether all the rockets were intercepted and the regime has told residents to spend the night near bomb shelters.
Earlier on Saturday, the occupation regime killed a large number of women and children in a multiple missile attack on a school in Gaza where refugees were sheltering.

My only fear is that Hezbollah’s completely understandable retaliation against Apartheid Israel might unintentionally improve Netanyahu’s very low standing with Israeli voters (about 70pc of whom want him gone).
Well – quite qwertboi ..
Plus WHEN is the UK going to stop sending arms to Israel?
Margaret Thatcher had no qualms about doing so after Israel
diverted from (as she saw it) acceptable behaviour
plus there was the question of hypocrisy***
She said so quite firmly and followed up with
words to the effect that :
“We still support you – but this is for your own good!”
*** She realised she had to – after our war in the Falklands ..
