  5. Of course the headquarters was in a bunker, protected by human shields above. That's all they know how to do, using civilians' deaths as their protection. Don't mess with Israel.

  8. Acountry is not fighting with you but you send rockets for a whole year.
    You trigger retaliation then play victim card 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

  20. If you play host to a terrorist movement that makes war on you nearest neighbour, then don't complain when you neighbour fights back.

  26. Please give Iran some credit for their restraint and moderation. They seem quite happy to throw Hezbollah under the bus.

  27. We’ll see what happens when you build military installations in residential areas…….. there’s a reason why the United States of America has the 3rd amendment in our constitution……. 🤨

  36. Tell me; what kind of fool would possibly imagine that one nation could provide evidence of what target was hit in another nation so soon after the attack?

  37. HQ of "irregulars" are not manned like conventional HQ. However there is a possibility of financial and administrative data / staff being adversely affected. However the timing of attack on Friday ( sabbath equivalent of Islam) could also mean attendance in mosques and low staffing.

  39. The civilians living above military bunkers know the risks they face. I feel sorry for the civilians, not sure what i would do in their situation, especially if i had no money. Probably many are there because the rents are subsidised, or they are families of Hezbollah fighters (still civilians though). Probably be safer living on the street tbh, at least until things calm down. It's not winter yet.

  40. @DW News please do a story on the civilians who chose to live above a military target, why they chose it, whether they know the risks, are they Hezbollah families? Can they go anywhere else? Are the wives coerced by their husbands? Is it poverty that forces them to have no choice? Sure these bunkers are valid military targets, but why do people still choose to live there, even after the war has started?

  43. It would be nice if Lebanon could actually be liberated, but hard with that rotten religion ruling everything. Then again, maybe the Sunnis are ready to wake up and the Iranian Shia are the only problematic ones.

  44. O People of the Book! Why do you argue about Abraham, while the Torah and the Gospel were not revealed until long after him? Do you not understand?
