For the second time, #Hezbollah has fired over 50 rockets at the Israeli Ramat Daviv military airbase as a 1st retaliation, and more heavy rockets are being prepared very soon.

“.. It may be feasible to eliminate the fissile spark plug of a MRR secondary by using a centrally located deuterium-tritium spark plug similar to the way ICF capsules are ignited. Fusion bombs unavoidably produce tritium as a by- product, which can be a nuisance in PNEs ..”
Thanks a lot for that above explanations acc.to some “nuke facts” to be learned, but not yet ‘understandle’ for everyone on the first reading of such stuff.
I hope that will improve & encourage also some of the MoA’s understanding to the facts there what’s going next, either ME or UKR.
That’s a good physically based explanations overall of the ‘purposes’ and possible launching of so-called “Mini-nukes” (means Low-shielded nukes) that within the last days have already destroyed some of the Russian ammo depots completely.
ref. as an example the 2 located videos acc.to the US/UK missile attacks on ‘deep Russian territory’ ammo depots in Toropets and Tikhoretsk/Krasnodar :
Missile attack on Toropets ammo depot – dblClick video2
Missile attack on Tikhoretsk-Krasnodar ammo depot
But the IDF/Zionists believing people of Israel seem not being very impressed by such a delimited/down-shielded nuke power strikes, addressed by their best US/UK weapon friends towards Lebanon
– even not by any currently published visual effects shown by some real time vids.
– Zionists & its Setllers always want ALL FOR THEM ALONE – no matter what costs til the end .. (Armag the 3rd?)

Resistance in Iraq is shooting missiles and drones at Israel now. Note that they targetted settler areas in West Bank as well. Confirmed by Israel.
—————-
The Islamic Resistance in Iraq (IRI) announced that it launched multiple missiles and drones at targets in Israel early on 22 September, in opposition to the Israeli military’s ongoing war on Palestinians in Gaza.
The movement issued multiple statements Sunday, stating it had attacked northern Israeli targets with Arqab cruise missiles, as well as targets in southern Israel and the Jordan Valley in the occupied West Bank with drones.
The statement said the attacks were carried out “In continuation of our approach to resisting the occupation, in support of our people in Gaza, and in response to the massacres committed by the usurping entity against Palestinian civilians, including children, women and the elderly.” […]
The Israeli military confirmed early Sunday that it had intercepted “suspicious aerial objects” approaching from Iraq before they entered Israeli airspace.
In addition, Israeli media claimed that Israel’s air defenses intercepted two cruise missiles launched from Iraq toward the southern Golan Heights. […]

More on Israel’s nukes.

The American Peace Information Council (APIC) and Green Audit (UK) are conducting an investigation of “Israel’s” possible use of small nuclear weapons in Gaza and South Lebanon. They are asking for car air filters from ambulance, hair samples, soil samples from bomb craters. 👇🏽
يُجري كل من المجلس الأمريكي لمعلومات السلام (APIC) ومكتب التدقيق البيئي البريطاني (Green Audit) تحقيقًا حول احتمالية استخدام “إسرائيل” لأسلحة نووية صغيرة في غزة وجنوب لبنان. يطلبون إرسال فلاتر هواء السيارات من سيارات الإسعاف، وعينات من الشعر الطويل، وعينات من التربة من فوهات القنابل إلى قناة الميادين.

Resistance response to Israeli massacres in Lebanon is beginning
english (dot) almayadeen (dot) net/news/politics/hezbollah-announces-initial-response-to-israeli-massacres-in
Hezbollah announces initial response to Israeli massacres in Lebanon
Hezbollah targets the Israeli Rafael Advanced Defense Systems military-industrial complex in an initial response to the massacres committed by the occupation in various Lebanese areas this past week.
….In the first operation, the Islamic Resistance targeted the Israeli Ramat David military base and airport with dozens of Fadi 1 and Fadi 2 rockets. It also launched a second operation on the same targets using dozens of Fadi 1 and Fadi 2 rockets.
The Resistance’s third operation saw the targeting of the Rafael military-industrial complex at 6:30 a.m. Rafael specializes in electronic equipment and is located in the Zvulun valley, north of the occupied city of Haifa, and was targeted with dozens of “Fadi 1”, “Fadi 2” and “Katyusha” rockets…..
….Explosions were also heard in the vicinity of the Ramat David Airbase on Sunday.

“Anybody know how the Israhelli stock market is taking the news of Haifa getting hit?”
DDGeopolitics on Telegram has shown some info. There was a drop of about 40 points at that time. ~2040 -> ~2000. So about 2%.
Hope it drops to ~zero, personally.

Two statements, one from Netanyahu and one from “Israeli officials”. These statements are made without a hint of irony or an iota of self-awareness.
————–
Netanyahu: No country can accept the indiscriminate bombing of its cities with missiles, and we cannot accept that either.
Israeli officials:
Increased attacks on Hezbollah not aimed at causing war, but an attempt to achieve “de-escalation through escalation.”

Well, it drops to zero if investors are smart.
I hope they keep it artificially high based on faith alone and take a huge haircut.
Bankrupt the whole lot and any Western company putting faith in that racket.

Funny how USReal and twin brother Ukraine always shoot down every drone, middle ect and there is never damage or casualties except an occasional fire.
Just like Ukraine, if Hezbollah sends 140 rockets, USReal has shot down 160 of them.
Israeli panic has reached fever pitch as “Pagers in Pockets” need to post “Israeli victory “ here illustrates. More Zios fleeing for Europe and ridiculous ideas of occupation of Southern border as “buffer”, returning “settlers” to the North with their UNSC 1701 tropes. Israeli desperation growing hourly.
Air fields smartest move yet. Soon, Greece (Cypriot) will be howling for “peace” “as evidenced” yesterday from Cyprus media.

reply to 614
Sir, we have come to expect a better level of response from Hasbaras. Your contribution does not meet the standards we have been accustomed to observing from high IQ Jewish Supremacists. I’m sorry.
Israel is facing doom if it can’t stop the war of attrition. As similar to the successful Houthis, Hezbollah will be bombed one day and then return to ruin Northern Israel the next. Meanwhile, dual citizen types run for the airports with their belongings.

Meditation:
One can never fight an enemy and defeat him without, in some part, becoming like him. Perhaps this is required to prevail.

Posted by: Arch Bungle | Sep 22 2024 4:32 utc | 569
Yes, you become what you hate. You create the enemies that will destroy you.
And most of the time, you will not ever understand what happened.
The entire west with its colonial mindset finds itself in that position now. Good.

Jesus (PBUH) said to love your enemies, he knew what he was talking about.
I have to give the “islamic resistance” extra points for not making that mistake, not adopting the Izzies methods and attitudes, not allowing themselves to be provoked by Izzie outrages. The kiss of death they are, those attitudes and methods, lots of death, for all and sundry. As we can see currently in Ukraine and the Levant.

It’s clear that it isn’t safe for Netanyahu to travel to the US until his allies in Washington have taken action against the ICJ and ICC.
It’s as simple as that. Netanyahu thinks he can choose the next POTUS and force them to obey his orders.
This is like poor old King Salman thinking he could buy Syria .
These guys sitting in their tribal fiefdoms in the Middle East clearly don’t know how the Western World works. With a bit of luck the next Potus will be Jill Stein , and every penny of corruption from Arab and Israeli trillionaires will have been money down the drain.
The Arab and Israeli tribal mind , is closer to Nazism than to their respective religions, and Nazism is something us Westerners have a serious allergy to.

One last remark on that ‘effects’ described .. (my comment: a “good physically based explanations overall”):
Someone just have to encapsulate the nuke’s core in the ‘device’ in a shell that is resistant to a high pressure just on impact, which can penetrate the ground at exactly this point, but then the shell is destroyed below, and it takes a while until the Nukes’s chain is activated/started smoothly and can then ‘suddently exploding’ with neutrons shooting to sky, unfold vertically upwards after a visual blast.
But it’s only a delayed/small radioactive ‘chain’ going on for some seconds, but then will lead to the ‘nuclear’ explosion after some seconds with all its plasma stream appearance.
That’s theory so far – until proofed otherwise. Pls contact a doctor, means a physician not being engaged with Pentagon (due to 9/11).
That blast is only the ‘small’ radioactive event, some meters fired below ground then, so you won’t see any lightning for half a second.
But, in video of xx you also may catch that ‘lightning! for max 1/4 sec, the camera’s over-scaled on pure white light (not gamma at this distance ca. 10 km – light to shot ratio, if cam has not stopped).
That’s only assumed as an extension here to explain what Libanon and/or Israel may have to expect on firing against each (US/UK) others (IRAN/RF/China), the next of further escalations .
Have a godd breakfast ..

Partial Lyrics…..
In our lifetime we will be free
One day when the light shines we will be free
In our lifetime we will be free
And they can bury us
But they will find out we are seeds
Oo-ohhh, Oo-ohhh
Oo-ohhh, Oo-ohhh
They can bury us
But they will find out we are seeds
Verse 1: Anees
I say free Falasteen because I know of every massacre we suffered
The Nakba, Sabra, Shatila, Rafah
My people have died a million times in their struggles
‘Til they rise from the tidеs
Like a rose through the rubblе
I see God himself in the eye of a refugee
Who’d rather die a martyr than live a life under siege
So if I’m not allowed to say “From the River to the Sea”
Then “From the rind to the seed Palestine will be free”
Still, they know they can’t shake us
Billion-dollar sword to the neck
Death cannot break us
And every Palestinian refugee holds a key
One day we will return
No matter how long it takes us
Chorus: Anees & Choirs, Macklemore
In our lifetime we will be free
One day when the light shines we will be free
In our lifetime we will be free
And they can bury us
But they will find out we are seeds
Oo-ohhh, Oo-ohhh
Oo-ohhh, Oo-ohhh
They can bury us
But they will find out we are seeds

“The Israeli Chief of Staff is now giving a speech from the Tel Nof Air Base, threatening the Lebanese state with paying a heavy price for what is happening.
Halevi’s words from inside the base indicate that an air strike is being prepared in the coming hours.
https://t-me.translate.goog/s/Sohaibpress?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en
I wonder why they are not giving their speech at Ramat David Airbase, where Gallant gave a similar speech a few days ago declaring a new state to the war?

The child-murderers, as the western people, need inmediate gratification, they are entitle to receive whatever they want just in time, so their politics and military have the same mindset, they are not patient, think in the longterm, plan to next generations, they are crazy to have just now what they “deserve”, and this is the way the settlers are behaving in the war in Gaza and in Lebanon.
Hezb and Iran are another kind of people, they do not act based only on rage or “entitlement” lik the western people, they know they do not have the fire power and the finantial means of the Global Empire, so they need to measure their steps to allow the child-murderers to enter voluntarily in their traps to level the field.
They should send some bombs (it is not requiered many) also to the huge Intel factory, just to send some hundreds hi-tech engineers out and destroy the settlers’ economy in the longterm. The settlers land seems not to be a good place to have a nice and safe hi-tech carreer for you and your family….
This is not 1982 or 2006, Israel is in a much precarious condition than then, even their weapons are more powerful, that does not means anything.
