In a precise strike in Dahiyeh in Beirut: IDF strikes Hezbollah terror organization's headquartersThe IDF struck a short while ago a headquarters of the Hezbollah terror organization in Beirut.
The Zionists' incursion into Dahiyeh has once again shown that America either lacks the will to fulfill its commitments or the ability to do so. By giving the green light to the regime, you cannot gain concessions. The game of bad cop and good cop is outdated.
