the same way that Bill Clinton grips an intern's butt.

I mean, like that is, they must control the straight.

It is the only way.

So they're looking for an excuse and a way to blame Israel for continuing to maintain control of the straight.

So what they did is they decided they were going to blame Israel, of course, for maintaining control of the straight.

So let's start with this.

Hezbollah is an Iranian proxy.

Hezbollah has launched 6,400 rockets against Israel over the course of the last month.

Hezbollah has been greatly damaged since 2024.

That is when the Israelis did the famous beeper operation, Operation Grim Beeper, where they took out a bunch of Hezbollah people and then they did an invasion of southern Lebanon and they cleared a lot of that territory.

Well, since then, Hezbollah has been attempting to reconstitute.

And so Hezbollah started firing in solidarity with Iran because they are an Iranian proxy terror group.

They started firing rockets over the border into northern Israel by the thousands.

by the thousands.

And so Israel decided they'd had enough and they walked over the border and they bombed the living hell out of Southern Lebanon.

And they moved all the population that is not Christian, by the way, up past the Latani River, which is about a hundred kilometers into the country.

And then because Hezbollah had increased its launches, Israel decided that it was going to just end Hezbollah entirely.

They decided that they were going to just bomb the living hell out of them over the course of Wednesday and Thursday.

There are also rumors that Hezbollah was going to attempt some sort of action against the very weak Lebanese government to try and create another pressure point for Iran on behalf of Iran.

So Israel goes in, they hit.
