A day after the Hamas Massacre in October 7th, hezbollah began attacks against israel which forced more than 60,000 israelis on our northern border to leave their homes.

We do have Breaking News out of lebanon where israel just struck the headquarters of hezbollah. U. S. Designated terror group. You can see this in video that the strike was big, hitting a building in southern beirut. An israeli official tells Nbc News that the target was the iranbacked leader, Hassan Nasrallah.
