IDF Names Offensive Against Hezbollah “Northern Arrows” After It Carries Out 1,300+ Airstrikes [VIDEOS]
September 23, 2024 4:30 pm Yeshiva World News – The IDF has officially named its military offensive against Hezbollah in Lebanon “Northern Arrows,” according to IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi.
The announcement comes after a major escalation in hostilities over the past 24 hours, with the IDF launching extensive airstrikes targeting Hezbollah positions across Lebanon. According to military reports, more than 1,300 sites linked to the Iran-backed terror group have been hit in the ongoing operation.
One of the airstrikes targeted senior Hezbollah commander Ali Karaki in Beirut. If his death is confirmed, it would leave Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah increasingly isolated, as Israel has systematically eliminated much of the group’s leadership over the past 11 months. However, in a statement released Monday night, Hezbollah dismissed rumors of his death, insisting that Karaki was “fine and, God willing, in full health and wellness and has moved to a safe place.”
The IDF has yet to provide further details on the strike, which marks the fourth such operation in Beirut since Hezbollah-led forces began launching near-daily attacks on Israeli communities and military posts along the northern border, in solidarity with Hamas during the ongoing war in Gaza.
The IDF on Monday night released images that purportedly show Hezbollah storing munitions inside civilian homes in southern Lebanon. One of the images depicts a long-range missile housed in the attic of a residential home in the village of Houmine al-Tahta. The missile, mounted on a hydraulic system, is reportedly ready to launch from an opening in the roof, with a Lebanese family living on the first floor directly beneath the weapon.
“This is an immediate and real threat to Israeli civilians, and we have an obligation to remove it,” IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said during a press conference.
Traffic Jam: Lebanese citizens no longer have any room to flee northwards.
[Ed.: No where to run… They would have been better off walking, but they’re safe for now, anyway! Israel wouldn’t hit them, anyway!. Night:
⚠️ HEZBOLLAH’S ESCALATING THREATS TO ISRAEL AND THE IDF’S STRATEGIC RESPONSE TO PROTECT CIVILIANS ⚠️
September 23, 2024 @ 5:38 pm ET ISRAEL REALTIME
Since October 8th, Hezbollah has launched over 9,000 rockets, missiles, and UAVs targeting Israeli families, homes, and communities. In the past week alone, more than 700 rockets and UAVs have struck deep inside Israel, forcing hundreds of thousands of citizens into bomb shelters. For years, Hezbollah has been planning to replicate in northern Israel what Hamas did in the south on October 7th—an invasion, infiltration of civilian communities, and the massacre of innocent civilians. To accomplish this, they devised a strategy called “Conquer the Galilee.”
On Friday, the IDF launched a precise strike in Beirut, targeting Ibrahim Aqil, the architect of this plan, along with other senior commanders of Hezbollah’s Radwan Force. These commanders were planning a similar attack in northern Israel.
In order to prevent Hezbollah from carrying out such an attack, and to ensure the safe return of 60,000 Israelis displaced from northern Israel, the IDF has acted aggressively against the threat posed by Hezbollah, which is just a few hundred meters from Israeli communities. Based on accurate intelligence, the IDF has conducted extensive strikes on Hezbollah targets in Lebanon. So far, 1,300 targets have been hit, including long-range missiles, rockets with 1,000 kg warheads, and UAVs—all capable of reaching deep inside Israeli territory and causing significant damage.
Despite efforts to minimize civilian casualties by providing warnings to residents in Lebanon where Hezbollah has embedded its military assets, Hezbollah has prevented civilians from evacuating, using them as human shields. Hezbollah strategically stores long-range rockets in civilian homes, such as in the village of Houmin Al Tachta in Southern Lebanon, where rockets are hidden in attics under homes where families reside.
Secondary explosions have been observed following IDF strikes, indicating that Hezbollah’s weapon storage in civilian areas has caused significant damage. One example is a house used by Hezbollah to store weapons that exploded after an IDF strike, triggering a nearby rocket launch. Hezbollah bears responsibility for this dangerous situation, as they have turned southern Lebanon into a battlefield, storing weapons in civilian homes and using them to attack Israeli communities.
The international community must condemn Hezbollah’s blatant violation of international law, which endangers civilians on both sides of the border. The IDF continues to make every effort to avoid harming civilians while targeting Hezbollah militants and their weapons.
Israel faces threats on all fronts. The IDF must continue its operations to dismantle Hamas’s capabilities in Gaza, ensure the release of hostages held by Hamas, and secure the safety of all Israeli citizens in the north and south.
IDF: “Let me be clear: Hezbollah is responsible for this situation. This is Hezbollah’s plan – to turn southern Lebanon into a battlefield for its attacks on Israel. We cannot accept a terrorist group storing weapons inside people’s homes, and using them to fire at other civilian communities.”

Sirens in Galilee & near Tiberias: Over 300 Hezbollah targets struck in Lebanon Chana Roberts
IAF conducts two waves of strikes on Monday morning, targeting Hezbollah weapons and infrastructure in southern Lebanon; terror group returns fire, launching missile barrages towards Galilee. One injured.
Sep 23, 2024, 12:36 PM INN – The IDF on Monday carried out two waves of strikes in southern Lebanon, hours after striking over 150 terror targets. According to the IDF, since Monday morning, Israel has hit over 300 Hezbollah targets in Lebanon.
Prior to the start of the attacks, IDF Arabic spokesman Avichay Adraee warned Lebanese civilians: “The strikes will begin soon. Immediately evacuate the homes in which weapons are hidden. Hezbollah is lying to you and sacrificing you. The organization is saying that you are its members and that you are important to it, but it seems that their missiles and UAVs are more important to it.”
Reuters reported that Israel took control of a number of Lebanese radio stations, through which it is sending warnings to Lebanese civilians.
According to reports, Lebanon’s Culture and Public Diplomacy ministers have been instructed to leave their offices, and the country’s Health Ministry has demanded that hospitals reschedule non-urgent operations in order to allow treatment for those wounded in the strikes.
Lebanon’s Health Ministry has reported 100 dead and over 400 injured in the Israeli strikes.
Early on Monday afternoon, multiple barrages of missiles were launched from Lebanon towards Israeli territory, activating sirens in wide swaths of northern Israel.
Several interceptions were reported over Tzfat (Safed). Reports in Kahal said that a missile had fallen in the area, though it could potentially have been falling shrapnel from an interceptor. A direct strike was reported on a home in Givat Avni; no one was injured.
“Following the sirens that sounded at 12:24 in the areas of Ami’ad and Safed, approximately 25 projectiles were identified crossing from Lebanon into Israeli territory,” the IDF reported. “The IDF Aerial Defense Array successfully intercepted a number of projectiles. Numerous falls were identified in open areas and adjacent to the area of Ami’ad.”
“Following the sirens that sounded at 12:43 in the Lower Galilee area, approximately 10 projectiles were identified crossing from Lebanon into Israeli territory. Numerous falls were identified.
“Following the sirens that sounded at 12:19 in the area of Elkosh, the details are under review.”
Several blazes ignited near Ami’ad, and were extinguished by firefighting teams.
Magen David Adom (MDA) reported: “Magen David Adom (MDA) paramedics are providing initial medical treatment to a 50-year-old man who suffered light injuries following the missile barrage on northern Israel. The teams are evacuating the victim to a local hospital, fully conscious and with shrapnel injuries to his limbs.”
Later reports raised the number of injured to five, among them three who had suffered shock.
MDA EMT Fadi Ottman said: “We were called to a driver who had stopped on the side of the road during the sirens and who was injured by shrapnel in his lower limbs. He was fully conscious. We provided him with medical treatment and evacuated him via ambulance to the hospital, with very light injuries.”

💩LEBANESE SAY.. Lebanese commentator Johnny Munir told the “Al-Jadid” channel: “Hezbollah’s response reached the highest level, but under the limit of precision missiles because these missiles pave the way for a wide war.”
💩HEZBOLLAH DEFINITION OF CIVILIAN.. killed in the IDF attacks this morning in southern Lebanon is Ali Hossein Adel. Lebanese sources claim that he is a civilian but his body was wrapped in the flag of Hezbollah and the flag of the Shia Amal movement.
💩UN WARNS.. Jeanine Hannis Plashart, the UN’s special coordinator in Lebanon, warned that the region is on the brink of an “imminent catastrophe”. (( But apparently firing rockets at Israeli civilians for 11 months was NOT a catastrophe, or even worth talking about. Strange that. ))
🇮🇱(Ch. 12) Military sources: the situation with Hezbollah has escalated significantly. Developments suggest that Israel is now closer to a full-scale war. In response, Prime Minister Netanyahu has instructed government ministers to refrain from giving media interviews. Foreign Minister Katz: Hezbollah leader Nasrallah, is “burning Lebanon” to serve Hamas’ interests in Gaza. He warned that if the international community does not take action to remove Hezbollah forces north above the Litani river, Israel will be forced to do so.

▪️POLITICS.. PM Netanyahu to the ministers at the cabinet meeting: there are many important issues, but now we are at a fateful crossroads for the State of Israel, the other issues should be left for a later time.
▪️MAN ACTING STRANGE ARRESTED IN TEL AVIV.. Security forces arrested an illegal resident walking Levinsky Street in Tel Aviv wearing a vest “in the service of the city”. Security approached after he was behaving suspicious, and because no road works were taking place. Arrested, he is an Arab from of Shechem without a permit.

Israel will obliterate Lebanon – Hezbollah stronghold will be a death zone with NOTHING left [VIDEO 10:38]
September 21, 2024 – ISRAEL will turn southern Lebanon into a “death zone” with nothing left standing, an ex-spy has warned.
Tel Aviv appears to be preparing to invade its northern neighbour as it shifts its focus north from Gaza with a new “phase” and war goal.
Tensions have skyrocketed after Israel blitzed the country with exploding pagers and walkie-talkies that left at least 37 dead and 3,600 wounded.
The Wall Street Journal reported US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has told senior Pentagon officials he feared Israel could soon invade.
A Lebanon invasion to fight Hezbollah has wide support in Israel, with one poll finding it had 71 per cent of the country’s backing.
Former Mossad spy Avner Avraham said his country should create a 10km “death zone” inside Lebanon by invading it and forcibly displacing locals.

⚠️ ISRAEL AND HEZBOLLAH ON THE BRINK OF ALL-OUT WAR AMID ESCALATING TENSIONS ⚠️
September 21, 2024 @ 4:35 pm ET ISRAEL REALTIME
⚠️ Israel’s Defense Minister Yoav Gallant is currently holding assessments with IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi and other top defense officials to evaluate the rising tension. Reports from Israeli media suggest that the Israeli army is on high alert, anticipating a potential Hezbollah attack. Channel 12 news reports that Israel is preparing for a possible large-scale missile barrage from Hezbollah in the north.
⚠️ Israeli Army Radio has confirmed that preparations are underway for an immediate escalation, citing unnamed sources. The political leadership in Israel has decided to continue its significant strikes on Hezbollah, despite knowing this could escalate into a full-scale war.
⚠️ According to Yedioth Ahronoth, a security source warns that Hezbollah may launch an attack within the next 24 hours, leading to an intense period of tension. Meanwhile, France has issued a message to Lebanon, stating that any potential conflict will not just be a third Lebanon war but could be the final one.
⚠️ Rambam Hospital in Haifa has announced a partial suspension of services in several departments as it prepares for potential security measures in light of the threat of war.
◾In the midst of this, US officials are concerned that Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon are undermining diplomatic efforts to prevent a war. They fear that an all-out conflict between Israel and Hezbollah could erupt in just a matter of days or even hours, according to reports from Politico.
