At this point, does anyone want to become a big wig in Hezbollah and Hamas? Because Israel keeps bumping them off with impunity

Nasrallah’s presumed successor Hashem Safieddine killed in Israeli strike in Beirut – Al Hadath

Hashem Safieddine, the presumed successor of former Hezbollah secretary-general Hassan Nasrallah, was killed along with those with him in an Israeli strike in southern Beirut on Friday, the Saudi news organization Al Hadath reported on Saturday morning.

The Saudi outlet claimed that Israel had confirmed the elimination, but The Jerusalem Post has not yet been able to verify the Saudi report.

A Lebanese security source told Reuters that Safieddine was “unreachable” since Israel struck the area on Friday. Additionally, according to three security officials, repeated Israeli strikes have blocked rescuers from searching the site where Safieddine was believed to be.

Israeli media estimated that Safieddine was wounded in the attack, but there is still no official information regarding his fate.

The assessment, similarly to Nasrallah’s case, is that anyone in the underground complex would not make it out alive, including senior Hezbollah officials that were present in the complex, Kan reported.

Is he finding out if the 72 virgins thing is correct? Well, Sinwar may soon learn

Sinwar, Hamas, have no intention of reaching hostage deal with Israel – NYT

Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar reportedly seeks a wider regional war and has hardened his stance on a hostage deal, US officials told the New York Times on Saturday.

Sinwars’ attitude has “hardened in recent weeks,” US officials told NYT, and they believe that Hamas currently has no intention of reaching a hostage deal with Israel.

These US officials said Hamas has not shown any engagement or desire to continue talks in recent weeks. US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller, while speaking at press briefings on Tuesday and Wednesday, stated that Hamas has refused to take part in hostage deal negotiations over the past several weeks.

If that’s the case, then Sinwars’ usefulness may have come to an end. Israel may very well say “he’s not needed anymore” and wack him.

Biden Opposes Israel Striking Iran’s Oil Fields

During the first Friday press conference of his presidency, President Joe Biden has indicated that he opposes any attacks on Iran’s oil fields, as a retaliatory strike by Israel appears imminent.

“The Israelis have not concluded what they are going to do. That’s under discussion. If I were in their shoes, I would be thinking about other alternatives than striking Iranian oil fields,” Biden said in a press conference at the White House.

You mean the oil fields which make Iran a lot of money, particularly after Biden-Harris removed all those sanctions? And then use the money to attack Israel and America? Biden just needs to keep his mouth shut, he’s not helping.

Biden also yammered about Israel not hitting Iran’s nuclear program, which is designed to produce weapons, not power

‘Hit the nuclear first and worry about the rest later’: Trump urges Israel to strike Iran

Former president Donald Trump stated that Israel should target Iran’s nuclear facilities while speaking at a campaign event in Fayetteville, North Carolina, on Friday.

Trump’s comments came in response to US President Joe Biden’s earlier statements cautioning Israel against striking Iranian nuclear facilities.

Wouldn’t be the first time. Hey, maybe this time Israel will simply decapitate Iran’s government, from Khamenei down.
