That's a quick way to get nuked or have a massive joint American-Israeli bombing campaign destroy the entirety of Lebanon.

A few of the secondary explosions from the bombings last night definitely look as if some kind of weapons cache was hit and a bunch of ammunition cooked off. But the rest just looked like terror bombings.
The people of South Africa stand with you and your friend forever and always, we try our best to help even though we're a poor third world country on the other side of the globe. I hope one day that you can rid yourself of this horrible Israeli apartheid and live in freedom and peace in your own land. It seems impossible, but that's what they said about South Africa in the past.
As for a question, what kind of music does he like/listen to? I always find that can be helpful for the soul when going through difficult times.
It buys time for an appropriate official response, gives the people time to emotionally process the situation, and subdues any initial panicked response. It's a propaganda tactic at the end of the day. Most organisations or countries would do the same in the event of the death of a senior leader. While us news thread people (including me) would just prefer the brutal honest truth as quick as possible, this might not be the best messaging tactic when communicating to millions of people more invested in the situation than us. I know it's an overused cliché, but the first casualty of war is always the truth.
It's just the initial propaganda push that happens after events like this to calm people down and prevent panic. Same thing happened after the Raisi helicopter crash, same thing happened after the US started bombing Yemen last year.
No mention of Nasrallah, I think he's dead.
Editing to say I just refreshed the thread and saw the latest news, damn...
I don't think so, the flash was from the secondary explosion after the bomb hit, it's different from the signature "double flash" of an atmospheric nuclear explosion, which usually gets picked up on by spy satellites designed to observe such phenomena. It's how apartheid South Africa got caught testing nuclear weapons in the Indian Ocean, a US spy satellite picked up on the "double flash".
Power play, he authorised the terror bombings against Lebanon from a chair in the UN offices and even got a photo op out of it. He is mocking the world and it's institutions.
Yeah there have been so many of these terror bombings at different locations in Beirut and Southern Lebanon, it's just footage of that particular explosion spread on social media very quickly, because of the visual impact of the secondary explosion with the flash.
The main problem is Israeli nuclear blackmail and the inability for Iran to protect itself from an Israeli air campaign. But yes, this is very disappointing I agree.
A lot of it is to do with the secondary explosions from whatever the bomb hit. I think all three videos awoo linked featured a large secondary explosion with a big flash, in fact they all appear to be videos of the same explosion, just from different angles.
Realistically, the only thing that would stop Israel bombing with impunity would be for Hezbollah to confront the Israeli Air Force with modern air defence systems, and start shooting their planes down. Unfortunately Hezbollah do not have this capability. The missile threat was always an asymmetric deterrence or trump card Hezbollah and the rest of the resistance had, to try scare Israel from doing such operations. But at the end of the day if Israel wants to fly their warplanes over a country and bomb it, there is not much the resistance can do with their current capabilities to directly stop the modern US warplanes Israel has. It is important to be realistic about the current capabilities of the resistance in this regard.
