IDF Spokesman RADM Daniel Hagari
I’ve been trying to keep y’all up to date with all of the bigger news items out of the Levant since last October 7th. You can read some of my previous reportage here, here, here and here.
Today’s story is somewhat humorous. The IDF has been going after Hezbollah finance centers and ‘banks’ in their latest round of strikes. The aim is to cripple the terrorist group by restricting their ability to pay fighters, buy arms and provide payments to ‘martyrs’. The problem is, much like the Hamass animals to the south, Hezbollah has hidden some of its facilities beneath hospitals and other sensitive civilian infrastructure.
The Israelis have come up with a clever way to deal with the banks though. They made a public announcement detailing the location of millions of dollars.
A couple of weeks ago I wouldn’t have thought anything of this announcement. However, given the scenes coming out of Lebanon over the past week or so, I think there is a really good chance some enterprising Maronite or Druze will become exceedingly rich in the next few days.
What scenes you might ask, and rightfully so. There have been a bunch of videos of the Lebanese Army actually beating up Hezbollah thugs in the streets. I’ve also seen videos of the local police doing so as well. It looks like Hezbollah is currently rudderless and drifting.
