    Their command center got vaporized along with everyone in it, 3000 plus high-ranking officials got hips, faces, and asses blown off, and they have no structural command in place to compensate for that lmao.

    This is just blindly lashing out after the brain has been KOed.

      Hmm. I haven’t been following it, but was Hezbollah really that centralized? It seems like a super-bad idea if you’re aiming to fight guerrilla war.

      EDIT: This says ~300:

      The Israeli army carried out an airstrike on Hezbollah’s central command in southern Beirut on Friday, killing its longtime leader, Hassan Nasrallah, along with approximately 300 people, including other members of the group.

      I mean, that’s obviously still a really successful strike, but you’re talking maybe an order of magnitude fewer people.

        They had it in the middle of a residential neighborhood and figured they were safe. To bad the psychos at the head of the Israeli government don’t give a fuck

          It’s interesting that they call the Israeli government psychos and not those hiding behind civilians in a residential neighborhood… especially given that the letter behavior is specifically done to be able to make accusations of the former.

            One does not necessarily exclude the other. Just because they called one group psychos does not mean they don’t feel the same for the other group.

              Well it does mention the Hezbollah hiding among civilians without any notation there, so it kinda reads like “how dare these crazies fire at the terrorists hiding behind civilian shields” (without noting the terrorist part and kinda brushing over the civilian shields).

              Both sides are pretty despicable in this conflict

                Yeah, because just mentioning someone using civilians as a shield is on its own bad enough. Anyone with half a brain cell would understand that’s bad without the need for specifically pointing it out.

        Israel’s right wing nationalists are leading the charge.
