    My recap of events for today (October 1st, 2024) on the Palestine/Lebanon front.

    Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) launched Operation True Promise II in response to the martyrdom of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyah, Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, and IRGC commander Abbas Nilforoushan. Around 200 missiles (including some Fattah-2 hypersonic ballistic missiles) struck many targets: three Zionist military bases near Tel Aviv (including the Tel Nof air base); an offshore gas platform near Ashkelon; air and radar bases; and Zionist intelligence bases used to organize assassinations. Some reports say that the strikes destroyed up to twenty F-35 fighter planes at the Zionists’ southern Nevatim air base. Tel Aviv’s propagandists are frantically denying the strikes’ severity.

    Lebanese Hezbollah forces conducted Fadi-4 rocket strikes on the Zionists’ Military Intelligence Directorate’s Unit 8200 signal intelligence division at the Glilot military base, near Tel Aviv. In addition, the resistance also struck the northern Zionist settlements of Safed and Dovev; and Zionist troop concentrations near Metula and Avivim.

    Little has been said about last night’s Zionist invasion attempt on southern Lebanon. In fact, reports are coming in that the Zionist military never actually crossed the border. However, border clashes occurred near the northern Zionist settlement of Shtula and the southern Lebanese settlements of Adaisseh and Kfar Kila.

    A recap of events from the Palestine/Lebanon front that occurred during the past 24 hours.

    Lebanese Hezbollah resistance forces conducted Fadi-3 rocket strikes on the Zionists’ Ramat David airbase and a missile strike on a target near Zionist-occupied Jerusalem (al-Quds).

    Islamic Resistance in Iraq forces conducted drone and missile strikes on the southern Zionist port city of Eilat; the northern Kiryat Shmona settlement; two military sites in the Zionist-occupied Golan Heights; and the illegal US occupation base in the Conoco gas field in Syria’s northeastern Deir ez-Zor province. The Iraqi resistance movements also stated their readiness for open war with the Zionists and US imperialists in response to yesterday’s assassination of Lebanese resistance leader Hassan Nasrallah.

    The Yemeni Armed Forces conducted a Palestine-2 ballistic missile strike on Tel Aviv’s “Ben Gurion Airport” during Zionist dictator Benjamin Netanyahu’s plane landing.

    The Russian Foreign Ministry condemned yesterday’s Zionist assassination of Hassan Nasrallah and stated that Israel is responsible for the subsequent escalation. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated, “The world must not forget that the order was given from the United States. The Americans will never be able to absolve themselves of responsibility.” Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani stated that the assassination was, “a crime that shows the Zionist entity has crossed all red lines.”

    This is ultimately US imperialism at work. Washington (via its fascist Kiev puppet dictatorship) tried the same assassination “strategy” vs numerous Donetsk and Lugansk people’s republics leaders (not to mention the West’s assassinations of an almost infinitely long list of other national liberation leaders over the past 75+ years). At the end of the day, you can not assassinate a liberation movement just by killing leadership figures. When a critical historical reason for such movements exist, new leaders will always replace the old. The Western imperialists’ plan will inevitably fail.

    That being said, Iran should definitely develop nuclear weapons, which is the only real, hard power way to counter fascist Tel Aviv and Washington’s arsenals. All the other “military imbalance” issues are trivial by comparison.

    A brief recap of events today on the Lebanon front.

    The fascist Tel Aviv regime carried out another major act of aggression. Hundreds of Zionist genocidal airstrikes on Lebanon killed 492 civilians (and wounded 1,645 others). One Zionist attack tried, but failed, at assassinating Hezbollah resistance commander Ali Karaki. Other Zionist attacks assassinated three Shia clergymen in southern Lebanon.

    Hezbollah resistance forces struck back, firing 180 rockets at the Zionists’ Ramat David Airbase (southeast of Haifa) and the Rafael Advanced Defense Systems military industrial plant (in the Zevulun area north of Haifa). Other rockets struck the Zionist cities of Haifa, Tiberias, and Safad; the Yoav barracks; the Ein Zeitim military base; and several illegal settlements in the Zionist-occupied West Bank (Bruchin, Karnei Shomron, and Maale Shomron). A resistance ATGM also destroyed a “Merkava” tank near El Marj.

    I think it would depend a lot on how big of threat these ‘long-range’ systems actually pose. If only a modest number were delivered and used, Russian air defenses and retaliatory strikes inside Kiev-controlled territory could easily handle that. Russia would then likely respond by delivering various weapons systems (like S-400 air defense systems, advanced anti-ship missiles, and modern warplanes) to the DPRK, Iran, and other allies.

    However, in the worst case scenario, if the Western imperialists actually tried overwhelming Russian air defenses, Russia would need to respond by conducting strikes of its own on Western military bases inside NATO countries that would be supplying and covertly providing operators for those weapon systems. It’s easy to then see how extremely aggressive acts by NATO could escalate into a nuclear war or “World War III” scenario. Frankly, I doubt that the US ruling class is brave enough to try that – they have far too much to lose, even with their overseas empire in terminal decline, they still have immense riches at home that they’d rather not see vaporized (not to mention their own lives).
