Hezbollah's Command Chain Destruction

Did you know that it was one of Hezbollah's own rockets

that set off the

destruction of their entire command chain?

Hassan Nasrallah spent 32 years turning Hezbollah, Iran's proxy in Lebanon,

into one of the most heavily armed terror organizations in the Middle East.

The day after Hamas attacked Israel on October 7th, Hezbollah decided to join

Hamas and began firing rockets at Israel.

But on July 27th, it was one rocket that changed everything.

Hezbollah shot and hit a soccer field in Majdel Shams, killing 12

children. That rocket set off a chain reaction

that would be the end of Nasrallah,

and so it began. July 30th, Israel eliminates Fuad Shukr, Hezbollah's

top military commander and Nasrallah's right-hand man.

Next, September 17th, came Mossad's pager operation.

Thousands of Hezbollah pagers simultaneously exploded across Lebanon,

killing

dozens and wounding thousands of operatives.

Then on September 20th, Israel struck Ibrahim Akil

and 15 commanders of

Hezbollah's Radwan commando force while they were gathered underground in

Beirut

planning their Conquer the Galilee attack.

On September 23rd, Operation Northern Arrows began.

The Israeli Air Force struck about 1,300 Hezbollah targets in a single day,

reducing Hezbollah's rocket firing capability by roughly 80%.

September 27th, Netanyahu was in New York preparing to address the

United

Nations when Israel's defense minister and IDF chief of staff called him.

They told Netanyahu that Nasrallah was in his bunker

and recommended they strike

before the opportunity was gone. Netanyahu gave the green light

and walked onto

that stage. He gave his speech, and the moment he walked off stage, that

countdown had ended. At 6:21 PM, 10 Israeli fighter

jets released 83 one-ton bombs on Nasrallah's bunker complex, seven

seconds from the first bomb till the last bomb dropped.

But Israel wasn't done. A week later, they eliminated Hashem Safieddine,

Nasrallah's successor and Hezbollah's next leader in an

underground bunker meeting.

And when Hezbollah held a funeral for the two men in a Beirut stadium, the Israeli

Air Force flew over their heads, the same pilots who had taken part in the

strikes. The message Israel sent was clear: You may spend 32

years building an army, but all Israel needs

is seven seconds to tear it down.
