— ❗️🇱🇧 Hezbollah full statement on the death of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah:

In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful:

'His Eminence, the Sayyed, the Leader of the Resistance, the righteous servant, has moved to the abode of his Lord and His pleasure as a great martyr, a brave, heroic leader, a wise, insightful and faithful believer, joining the immortal caravan of martyrs of the luminous Karbala in the divine journey of faith in the footsteps of the prophets and martyred imams.

His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, Secretary General of Hezbollah, joined the great and immortal martyrs, whose journey he led for nearly thirty years, during which he led them from victory to victory, succeeding the master of the martyrs of the Islamic Resistance in 1992 until the liberation of Lebanon in 2000 and until the divine, sustaining victory in 2006 and all the other battles of honor and redemption, until the current battle of support and heroism in support of Palestine, Gaza and the oppressed Palestinian people.

We offer our condolences to Imam Saheb al-Zaman, Imam Mahdi (may God bless him and grant him peace), and the Leader of the Muslims, Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei, God protect him, the great religious scholars, the Mujahideen, the believers, the nation of resistance, our patient and jihadi Lebanese people, the entire Islamic Ummah, all the free and oppressed in the world, and his honorable and patient family.

We congratulate His Eminence the Secretary General of Hezbollah, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah. May God grant him the highest divine honor, the Order of Imam Hussein, peace be upon him, fulfilling his most precious desires and the highest levels of faith and pure belief, as a martyr on the road to Jerusalem and Palestine. We condole and bless his fellow martyrs who joined his pure and sacred procession following the treacherous Zionist raid on the southern suburb.

The leadership of Hezbollah pledges to the highest, holiest and most precious martyr in our journey, full of sacrifices and martyrs, to continue its jihad in confronting the Zionist enemy, in support of Gaza and Palestine, and in defense of Lebanon and its steadfast and honorable people.

And to the honorable mujahideen and the victorious and courageous heroes of the Islamic resistance, you are the trust of our beloved martyr, and you are his brothers who were his impregnable shield and the crown jewel of heroism and redemption. Our leader, His Eminence, is still among us with his thought, spirit, line, and sacred approach, and you are in the pledge of loyalty and commitment to resistance and sacrifice until victory.'

🇮🇱❌🇮🇷🇮🇷 — ✴️ Founder of Eurasian Movement of Russia, Alexander Dugin on Telegram:

It is unpleasant to admit, but Israel's radical determination in the ruthless destruction of its enemies clearly contrasts with the behavior of not only these enemies, but also ourselves in relations with the Kyiv regime. Israel is playing ahead, and it is now clear that it provoked Hamas to attack, which did not bring any fruits to the Resistance at all, and Israel managed to destroy the leadership of the forces antagonistic to it in the Middle East and easily carry out a large-scale genocide of the Palestinians in Gaza. Again - whoever is faster is right.

Whoever acts more decisively and recklessly wins. But we are cautious and constantly wavering.

By the way, Iran is the same. This is a road to nowhere.
Gaza is gone.
Hamas's leadership is gone.
Now Hezbollah's leadership is gone.
And Iranian President Raisi is gone.
And their pagers are gone.

But Zelensky is here. And Kyiv stands as if nothing had happened.
We either enter the game for real, or... I don't want to think about the second option.
But in modern wars, timing, speed, dromocracy decide everything. The Zionists act quickly, ahead of the curve. Boldly. And they win. That's what we should do.

🇺🇸❌🇷🇺 — 🇬🇧 Reuters | NATO Plans for Large-Scale Transport of Wounded Troops in Case of Russia War | September 25, 2024:

"BERLIN (Reuters) - NATO plans to coordinate the transport of a large number of wounded troops away from front lines in case of a war with Russia, potentially via hospital trains as air evacuations may not be feasible, according to a senior general.

The future scenario for medical evacuations will differ from allies' experience in Afghanistan and Iraq, Lieutenant-General Alexander Sollfrank, the head of NATO's logistics command, told Reuters in an interview.

In a conflict with Russia, Western militaries would likely be faced with a much larger war zone, a higher number of injured troops and at least a temporary lack of air superiority close to the front lines, the German general said."

🇬🇧🗯🔫📈 — 🇬🇧 The Telegraph | Civilians must be ready to fight because Britain’s military is so small, warn peers | Damning report says evidence suggests size of Army is inadequate and urges country to think of itself as ‘a nation under genuine threat’ | September 26, 2024:

"Civilians must be ready to fight because Britain’s military is too small, a House of Lords committee has warned.

The Armed Forces “lack the mass, resilience, and internal coherence necessary to maintain a deterrent effect and respond effectively to prolonged and high-intensity warfare”, a damning report by the Lords international relations and defence committee found.

The report said all evidence it had heard “points to the current size of the British Army being inadequate” and questioned “whether the British Army is prepared to meet the growing threat posed by Russia to European security”.

(...)

Under the previous Conservative government, troop numbers were cut to their smallest size since the Napoleonic era as they reduced the British Army by 10,000 to 72,500.

(...)

The report warned that while there was a risk that conversations around civilians “could end up veering into discussions around connoscription”, Labour had “an opportunity to broaden this out and consider how it could incorporate the whole of society in building resilience”

🇮🇱🇱🇧🇸🇾 How Israeli spies penetrated Hezbollah

In its 2006 war with Hezbollah, Israel tried to kill Hassan Nasrallah three times.

One air strike missed — the leader of Hezbollah had earlier left the spot. The others failed to penetrate the concrete reinforcements of his underground bunker, according to two people familiar with the attempted assassinations.

On Friday night, the Israeli military fixed those mistakes. It tracked Nasrallah to a bunker built deep below an apartment complex in south Beirut, and dropped as many as 80 bombs to make sure he was killed, according to Israeli media.

What changed, said current and former officials, is the depth and quality of the intelligence that Israel was able to lean on in the past two months, starting with the July 30 assassination of Fuad Shukr, one of Nasrallah’s right-hand men, as he visited a friend not far from Friday’s bombing site.

These officials described a large-scale reorientation of Israel’s intelligence-gathering efforts on Hezbollah after the surprising failure of its far more powerful military to deliver a knockout blow against the militant group in 2006, or even to eliminate its senior leadership, including Nasrallah.

For the next two decades, Israel’s sophisticated signals intelligence Unit 8200, and its military intelligence directorate, called Aman, mined vast amounts of data to map out the fast-growing militia in Israel’s “northern arena”.

Israeli intelligence widened its aperture to view the entirety of Hezbollah, looking beyond just its military wing to its political ambitions and growing connections with Iran’s Revolutionary Guards and Nasrallah’s relationship with Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad.

As Hezbollah grew in strength, including in 2012 deploying to Syria to help Assad quell an armed uprising against his dictatorship, it gave Israel the opportunity to take its measure. What emerged was a dense “intelligence picture” — who was in charge of Hezbollah’s operations, who was getting promoted, who was corrupt, and who had just returned from an unexplained trip.

While Hezbollah’s fighters were battle hardened in Syria’s bloody war, the militant group’s forces had grown to keep pace with the drawn-out conflict. That recruitment also left them more vulnerable to Israeli spies placing agents or looking for would-be defectors.

“Syria was the beginning of the expansion of Hezbollah,” said Randa Slim, a programme director at the Middle East Institute in Washington. “That weakened their internal control mechanisms and opened the door for infiltration on a big level.”

The war in Syria also created a fountain of data, much of it publicly available for Israel’s spies — and their algorithms — to digest. Obituaries, in the form of the “Martyr Posters” regularly used by Hizbollah, were one of them, peppered with little nuggets of information, including which town the fighter was from, where he was killed, and his circle of friends posting the news on social media. Funerals were even more revealing, sometimes drawing senior leaders out of the shadows, even if briefly.

A former high-ranking Lebanese politician in Beirut said the penetration of Hizbollah by Israeli or US intelligence was “the price of their support for Assad”.

“They had to reveal themselves in Syria,” he said, where the secretive group suddenly had to stay in touch and share information with the notoriously corrupt Syrian intelligence service, or with Russian intelligence services, who were regularly monitored by the Americans.
