HUGE!!! Oh boy! Here we go! HAMAS LEADER SALEH AL-AROURI ELIMINATED IN BEIRUT

Saleh al-Arouri, deputy head of Hamas, reportedly killed in the Israeli drone attack in Beirut a short time ago.

Hezbollah's Nasrallah has previously threatened to “retaliate with MAJOR force” to “any kind of assassination on Lebanon soil."

We’ll see.

Hebrew sources:
Great preparations for Hezbollah's response and raising the maximum alert in northern Israel...

NASRALLAH IS GIVING HIS BIG SPEECH TOMORROW ON THE 4th ANNIVERSARY OF SOLEIMANI BEING KILLED BY A US AIRSTRIKE ON JANUARY 3, 2020

Israel took out the number 2 TOP GUY in Hamas. This is a heavy blow to Hamas and a great shame to Hezbollah trying to protect him.

Hezbollah chief Hasan Nasrallah HAS NOW CANCELED his speech planned for tomorrow. The next few hours and days could become VERY EXPLOSIVE BETWEEN HEZBOLLAH & ISRAEL 🚀

So far 2024 is nuts and we’re only on day 2. Unreal.

No longer a full deck of cards,it looks like the Israeli revenge for October 7 massacre is underway. Hamas leaders are at the TOP of the list. Mossad will be VERY busy this year...

Scene of the explosion where Saleh Al-Arouri and 2 other senior Hamas officers were killed.

Iranian state media have started circulating an image of Saleh al Arouri and Khamenei. Saleh ties to Iran were probably greater than any other in the Hamas leadership.

Report in Lebanon: Saleh al-Arouri was apparently in a meeting with other terrorist representatives in the apartment building, thinking they were safe.

Back on October 25, 2023, The Israeli army requested an approval to assassinate Hezbollah's leader Hassan Nasrallah, Deputy Head of the Hamas' Political Office Saleh Arouri, and the PIJ's Ziyad Nakhala, but Netanyahu's cabinet refused at the time...

Saleh al-Arouri in his last speech: "We in the Palestinian resistance are all martyrdom projects, from Sheikh Ahmed Yassin to the lowest person in the resistance. And I feel that I have lived a long time, and I am waiting for martyrdom."

He didn't have to wait very long.

Now we will have to wait and see what the Response will be from Hezbollah and Hamas. It WILL GET UGLY.

The Israeli Air Force bombed Beirut for the FIRST TIME SINCE THE LEBANON WAR IN 2006. Israel is preparing for a response on ALL FRONTS following tonight's dramatic assassination. THIS IS BIG.

Israel’s foreign media spokesperson said Israel accepts no responsibility in the matter.

Hezbollah threatens HUMONGOUS rocket 🚀 barrage at Gush Dan, Israel's main urban metro comprised of Tel Aviv, Herzliya, Bat Yam, Netanya, and Rishon LetZion.

If this war hasn’t been considered “regional” yet it will.

Hamas
Palestinian Islamic Jihad
Al Qassem brigades
Hezbollah
Syria
Iraq
Yemen Houthis
And many more Iranian IRGC operatives all have 1 bullseye 🎯

Israel.

We are also very likely to seen a HUGE uptick in operations in the West Bank because of this. SUICIDE BOMBERS HAVE BEEN QUIETLY WAITING TO UNLEASH TERROR IN ISRAEL. Saleh Al-Arouri had massive influence in the West Bank and was seen as a hero there.

Hamas announced that it is 🛑 freezing ALL NEGOTIATIONS on the release of the 130+ remaining Israeli hostages

Channel 12 Israel:
In the wake of Al-Arouri’s assassination: Hamas informs Egyptian and Qatari mediators to freeze any negotiations with Israel.

Who is going to collect this reward from the USA?

2 points about Beirut assassination:
- Israel has VERY GOOD intel capabilities; Hamas chiefs knew they must be extra-careful. Israel still got them.
- Israel is not afraid to take extreme action in Lebanon, even at risk of escalating the fight vs. Hezbollah.

Notice how the attacks have stopped since the Neutralization of Saleh Al Arouri? Not good.

The starting back up attacks from Hezbollah and others will not be just 1 attack here or there.

They will be BOTH here AND there in Israel. Hassan Nasrallah of Hezbollah has been patiently waiting to make his move. Will it come tonight or tomorrow? It’s already 9:01pm in Israel…

The new GLOBAL NORM. 2024 is going to be HUGE in the rollout of Digital 🆔 as the switchover to everything DIGITAL takes over in 2024-25.

Israel’s Customs 🛃(PIBA) has updated its policy at Ben Gurion International Airport in Tel Aviv to favor travelers using biometric passports.

Traveler's to Israel without biometric passports will be required to meet with a PIBA supervisor on arrival to perform human verification in person.

Pakistan biometric passports with embedded electronic chips are being launched in a few weeks. The larger plan is to make the issuance of chip-enabled passports MANDATORY starting in 2027.

E-passports’ enhanced biometric security features uses 🆔 verification use by facial recognition.

Biometric passports are becoming the preferred digital ID option for authorities worldwide, and there are strong indications the technology will inevitably become the GLOBAL standard.

The calm before the storm.

🇮🇷 IRAN: THE RESISTANCE FACTIONS WILL RESPOND
Khamenei advisor: AMERICA and its allies must know that resistance factions WILL RESPOND to this assassination.

Hezbollah will respond to Israel, as Hezbollah just declared that “the assassination of Saleh al-Arouri will not go unanswered and that Israel must prepare for WHAT IS TO COME.”

Assassinated leader Saleh Al Arouri stated on August 25, 2023 that “We Want War With Israel, We Will Shut Down Israel's Airspace, Israel’s Seaports, Electricity, Water Supply, And Communications, Bringing Its Economy To A Standstill.”

First reports coming in of the transport of heavy equipment (rockets 🚀) by Hezbollah forces to southern Lebanon. Reports that Hezbollah leader Nasrallah, has arrived in Tehran to meet with Iranian leaders.

Shelters have been opened in several population centers in northern Israel and near the city of Haifa for the incoming Hezbollah attacks.

Israel warned its citizens back in October to prepare to stay in bomb shelters for up to a few weeks, and to plan accordingly with food and water.

That day might be quickly approaching.

Israel prepares for retaliation from Lebanon or Gaza in response to Beirut assassination; The IDF is ready for any option ranging from limited action to eruption of a full-scale war.

Defense analyst Ron Ben-Yishai said that Hezbollah is UNLIKELY to take drastic action but will aim to strike from southern Lebanon. Hamas will try to fire rockets at Tel Aviv, and possibly launch terrorist attacks overseas, he says.

If Hezbollah barely responds, then the assassination of this Hamas leader is a nothing burger.

Hezbollah MIGHT respond harshly, which is one reason why Nasrallah is in Iran now.

Hezbollah will respond to show strength, but based on their rhetoric in recent months and their unwillingness to escalate, the response will be more about optics.

That being said, it is very quiet right now. Not normal.

On New Year's Eve, Iran's supreme leader Ali Khamenei calls on Iran-backed militias to escalate in the region to commemorate the 4th anniversary of the assassination of Qassem Soleimani.

Time will tell.

This story caught my interest from my 15 years of being a flight attendant back in the day. Earlier today Japan Airlines flight JAL516 A350-941 burst into flames on the runway after landing at Tokyo’s Haneda Airport. It collided with a Japanese Coast Guard plane that was moving on the runway, that was on its way to deliver aid relief to victims of yesterday's major earthquake in Japan.

All 367 passengers and 12 crew members on board were able to evacuate safely, with 15 people sustaining slight injuries.

5 of the 6 people on board the coast guard plane died, with the captain sustaining severe injuries. This aircraft was a De Havilland Canada DHC-8, commonly known as the Dash 8, a turboprop-powered plane that is popular for regional airlines.

The nighttime fire ✈️🔥 videos compared to the new Daybreak is revealing in Tokyo what’s left of the A350 that was once flight #JL516.

There’s really not much left of the fuselage, and the cockpit is just kinda out there on its own detached from the front of the aircraft.

It is truly a MIRACLE 🙏 that ALL passengers and crewmembers aboard this aircraft survived.

Last one regarding this flight ✈️ This story is too crazy NOT to post. Can you imagine being on an airplane in Japan, still in flight, only to watch another airplane BURNING ON THE GROUND BELOW YOU ✈️🔥 LIVE while YOU'RE STILL IN THE AIR FLYING AND ABOUT TO LAND? Talk about PTSD.

Had this been me, I would find watching #JAL516 burning live inflight very disturbing as a passenger. Especially if you were already nervous about flying. Or if it was your very first flight ✈️ etc...

There’s so much going on and it’s only day 2 of the New Year. This year is gonna be nuts 😳

The Biden Administration is NOT HAPPY WITH ISRAEL, as Israel did NOT give the United States advance notice of the drone strike that killed Hamas deputy leader Saleh al-Arouri and several other members of Hamas earlier today in Beirut.

An Israeli official confirms to the news site that Israel did not give the US a heads-up and notified the Biden administration while the attack was underway.

Oh brother. Macron knows he will be in the headlines when he discusses Israel. French President Emmanuel Macron has called on Israel to AVOID ESCALATION, “particularly in Lebanon.”

Just like Hamas, It was Lebanon that fired rockets on Israel first.

This isn’t helping Israel’s case either. Here’s a new development in the annals of U.S.-Israel relations. The State Dept is reprimanding ministers in Netanyahu ‘s government for promoting the resettlement of Palestinians outside their current homes in Gaza because Netanyahu is refusing to do so.

However, Bibi openly said that he wants to do this as well. So we’ll see. Netanyahu said Christmas Day, Monday the 25th, that the problem is not letting the GAZANS leave, it's finding the countries that are willing to accept them”

Here’s why the Biden administration is upset. The US State Department on Tuesday called out far-right Israeli ministers Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben Gvir for advocating the RESETTLEMENT of Palestinians OUTSIDE of GAZA.

“This rhetoric is inflammatory and irresponsible,” State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said in a relatively rare, unprompted statement calling out THE PAIR of Israeli ministers by NAME.

So, Israel’s National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir hits back at Joe Biden:

"I really appreciate the United States of America but with all due respect, we are NOT ANOTHER STAR on the American flag.

The United States is our best friend, but first of all, we will do what is best for the State of Israel: the migration of hundreds of thousands from Gaza will allow the (Israeli) residents of the enclave to return home and live in security and protect the IDF soldiers."

The entire WORLD WILL SOON BE AGAINST ISRAEL 🇮🇱

Jeremiah 30:7 says “Alas! for THAT DAY is great (in importance and intensity), so that NONE is like it: it is even the time of JACOB’S (Israel’s) TROUBLE.

Zechariah 12:2 begins with “Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto ALL THE PEOPLE ROUND ABOUT”

Zechariah 12:3 continues “And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for ALL PEOPLE: all that BURDEN THEMSELVES WITH IT SHALL BE CUT in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
