Freeing The Lebanese People From Hamas

Posted on by

On Monday, The Jerusalem News Syndicate (JNS) posted an article about some recent Israeli Defense Force (IDF) activity in southwestern Lebanon.

The article reports:

The Israel Defense Forces on Sunday destroyed an underground Hezbollah complex in southwestern Lebanon containing hundreds of weapons and several rocket silos, the military said.

“The underground complex was constructed using technology and expertise provided by the Iranian terror regime,” according to the IDF announcement.

The operation in the Majdal Zoun area, some five miles north of the border with Israel inside the IDF-controlled security zone, was carried out after Jerusalem informed the United States, according to the Prime Minister’s Office.

“Israel updated the United States and the American representative in Lebanon in advance regarding the destruction of the infrastructure,” said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz in a joint statement.

“The tunnel, which was over 200 meters [650 feet] long and more than 25 meters [80 feet] deep, contained hundreds of weapons and several launch silos intended to target the territory of the State of Israel and its citizens,” they noted.

“IDF commanders and fighters will remain in the security zone in Southern Lebanon and will continue to destroy terrorist infrastructure, remove threats to northern communities and safeguard the security of Israel’s citizens,” the statement concluded.

Also on Sunday, the IDF attacked three Hezbollah command centers and a launch pad in Southern Lebanon in response to the Iranian proxy’s violation of the truce agreement, the IDF stated separately.

Israel and Lebanon signed a U.S.-brokered framework agreement on Friday aimed at removing Hezbollah from Southern Lebanon and dismantling “associated infrastructure” in the area.

Before 1975, Lebanon was a peaceful nation where Jews, Muslims and Christians lived in peace. It was a beautiful country before it was destroyed by terrorism and war. The war was caused in part by an influx of ‘Palestinian refugees’ (Islamists) who did not assimilate and eventually took over the government. The Lebanese people are not currently living in a country where they are in charge. They are living in a country run by a group of Islamists supported by Iran and determined to destroy Israel. That is what the tunnels are about. That is also the reason the current peace talks are currently between the Lebanese and Israel. Hezbollah is not involved in the peace talks.

Lied To Again

On Thursday, The Washington Free Beacon posted an article about Abdul Rahim “Abood” Muhammad Hamden, eight-year-old boy who was reportedly killed by Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) at a Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) site.

The article reports:

A Gazan boy alleged to have been killed by the Israeli military is alive and has been safely evacuated from Gaza with his mother, according to video footage and new reports—contradicting the allegations promoted by commentator Tucker Carlson and Senators Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) and Chris Van Hollen (D., Md.).

The eight-year-old boy, who was misidentified as “Amir” but whose real name is Abdul Rahim “Abood” Muhammad Hamden, appeared alongside his mother in a video interview with a translator asking questions provided by Fox News. The boy smiled as he talked about looking forward to his and his mother’s then-upcoming extraction from Gaza, saying, “Outside the Gaza Strip is nice,” according to a translation verified by the outlet. The boy and his mother are now in a secure, undisclosed location outside Gaza, according to Fox News.

The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) also confirmed in a Thursday announcement that the boy is “alive and safe” and condemned the false allegations. “We are overjoyed and deeply relieved that Abood is safe, and that this story ends in hope,” GHF executive chairman Johnnie Moore said. “Too many people, including in the press and civil society, were quick to spread unverified claims without asking the most basic questions.”

Tony Aguilar, an ex-contractor for the GHF, made national headlines this summer when he claimed in several media appearances that the Israel Defense Forces had shot and killed Hamden in May, as the boy sought aid at a GHF site.

The article concludes:

Tucker Carlson, a conservative-host-turned-vocal-critic-of-Israel, had Aguilar on his show in an interview released July 31. Carlson was “nodding solemnly” as Aguilar claimed Israel had killed the boy, Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas) wrote in an X post Thursday.

Sanders and Van Hollen also pushed Aguilar’s story, even after the IDF and GHF denied the claims. In late July, Van Hollen met with Aguilar and released a recording of their conversation, while Sanders featured Aguilar’s testimony in a video titled “Former U.S. Special Ops: What I Saw in Gaza.”
