Additional Hezbollah devices explode across Lebanon

Lebanese media reported that at least 500 people were wounded on Wednesday as another round of explosions rang out throughout the country at midday.

Axios started to report significant details about Israel’s involvement in the attack, while The Jerusalem Post (which also has extensive Western sources) has also been able to independently confirm large aspects of details related to the attack.

Nine people had been killed, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry. 

According to Reuters, citing a Lebanese security official, those wounded sustained wounds primarily to the stomach and hands. 

The Lebanese Health Ministry issued a statement earlier saying over a hundred people had been wounded and one person had been killed, according to a preliminary toll. 

Hezbollah missile strikes IDF vehicle near Israeli base on Israel-Lebanon border

Al-Manar, a Hezbollah-affiliated TV channel, has released footage of a missile strike on an Israeli military vehicle near IDF’s Avivim military base on the Israel-Lebanon border. The video shows two Kornet anti-tank missiles fired from different positions and narrowly miss the vehicle which then led to massive artillery fire in retaliation. IDF reported no casualties in the incident. Tension has run high on the border since a drone attack on a Hezbollah stronghold in Beirut last week which could be conducted by IDF.

Report: Israel gets ready for ‘short, sharp war’ against Hezbollah

From UPI.COM:

TEL AVIV, Israel, Dec. 19 (UPI) — Israeli generals are preparing for a decisive — and probably brief — war against Hezbollah, one of Israel’s most implacable foes, with plans to smash the Iranian-backed Lebanese movement’s military power, a study says.

The Israelis’ primary objective will be to eradicate Hezbollah’s reputedly massive arsenal of missiles and rockets “for years to come,” the report by the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies in Tel Aviv said.

Recent arrests in Quebec and Hizb’allah activity

There are certain specific methods that Iran’s proxy army and terrorist group, Hizb’allah (‘party of god’) have been using for some time to raise cash for their operations world wide.

I hope to be able to post an interview with a well known expert on this exact subject within a couple of days. Meanwhile, have a look at the following links all from within the last 36 hours or so from Quebec, keeping in mind that Hizbollah is an Iranian terrorist organization that funds its activities with credit card fraud, drugs, counterfeiting and not just cash (which they do a lot of) but even of prescription medications which they distribute world wide including a very popular (older) one used to treat ‘hyper-kinetic children’ among other things.

First, the arrest yesterday of an Iranian ex-pat who already spent 10 years in a Canadian jail for drug offenses, and then was arrested yesterday for attempting to board an aircraft with all the components of an explosive device including bullets and some as-yet unnamed powder.

Now, this string of busts today in Quebec:

Bombshell Revelations Revealed About Alleged Ex Hezbollah Commander Arrested in Texas

Counterterrorism officials on Wednesday revealed stunning details about 44-year-old Wissam Allouche, an alleged former Hezbollah commander who was arrested in Texas after being indicted on charges of not disclosing his affiliation with terrorist groups.

During Allouche’s bail hearing in San Antonio Wednesday, the prosecution said the FBI recovered documents they claim he fabricated to falsely show he had security clearances. It was also alleged that Allouche tried to “hook up” with women at Fort Sam Houston to possibly to gain access to sensitive material, MySanAntonio.com reports.

And that’s not all.

As previously reported by TheBlaze, Allouche was arrested last week for failing to disclose his membership in the Amal militia and Hezbollah in Lebanon in the 1980s and lying about issues concerning his marriage to a U.S. citizen. He is also charged with failing to disclose his ties to the terror groups when he applied for a Defense Department position that required security clearance.

Rockets hit Hizb’allah in Lebanon, probably fired from Al Qaeda in Syria

Two wounded men were treated on Sunday by their friends after two rockets hit their houses in Beirut.

BEIRUT — A pair of rockets slammed into a car dealership and a residential building in strongholds of Lebanon’s Hezbollah militia in southern Beirut on Sunday, wounding four people and raising fears that Syria’s civil war is increasingly spreading into Lebanon.

Follow @nytimesworld for international breaking news and headlines.

Lebanon’s sectarian divide mirrors that of Syria, and Lebanese armed factions have taken sides in their neighbor’s civil war.

There was no claim of responsibility for Sunday’s attack. However, a Syrian rebel commander threatened earlier this week to strike against Hezbollah strongholds in retaliation for the militia’s military support for Syrian President Bashar Assad. Hezbollah is a Shiite Muslim group, while most of the rebels are Sunnis.

Israel bombed a weapons shipment headed for Hizbullah on Friday, an Israeli source confirmed Saturday. The source spoke after American media outlets reported the strike.

Israel has not officially commented on the alleged strike.

A diplomatic source in Lebanon told the AFP news agency that the operation destroyed surface-to-air missiles recently delivered by Russia that were being stored at Damascus airport.

The Israeli source confirmed that the strike targeted “game-changing” weaponry, but not chemical weapons.

Lebanon’s army said pairs of Israeli airplanes entered Lebanese airspace three times overnight. The first two entered over the southern city of Sidon at 7:10 PM (1610 GMT), followed three hours later by a second pair that entered over Jounieh north of Beirut, a statement said.

Israel is justified in protecting itself from advanced weapons shipments to Lebanon-based militant group Hizbullah, United States President Barack Obama said Saturday, the AFP news agency reports. Obama spoke following reports that Israel had bombed a weapons shipment bound for Hizbullah.

Obama joined Israeli officials in declining to comment on the reported strike, saying he would let Israel “confirm or deny whatever strikes they have taken.”

“What I have said in the past and I continue to believe is that the Israelis justifiably have to guard against the transfer of advanced weaponry to terrorist organizations like Hizbullah,” the president told Spanish-language Telemundo television during a trip to Mexico and Central America.
