Hezbollah has just released a statement this morning declaring war on Israel. The statement quotes a verse from the Koran that gives them permission to fight because they have been wronged…or something:

Below is the text from the image translated from Google Translate:
Statement issued by the Islamic Resistance
In the name of God, the most gracious, the most merciful
Permission to fight is given to those who are being fought, because they have been wronged. And indeed, Allah is competent to give them victory. God’s truth is the Most High, the Almighty.
In support of our steadfast Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and in support of their valiant and honorable resistance
In defense of Lebanon and its people
Victory comes only from God, the Almighty, the Wise.
I thought they declared war on Israel when they began firing daily missiles at them after October 7th. They claim they have been wronged, but they started this war. And Israel is going to end it.
Speaking of, check out this ridiculous tweet from Sky News promoting ‘analysis’ of this war:
Hezbollah has been provoked like never before by Israel and may be tempted to unleash its firepower

They are being mocked relentlessly:
Such interesting framing from @SkyNews. Poor Hezbollah. Why can’t they just fire rockets with impunity? Must be terrible for them. https://t.co/MMyWJgoQHy

Absolute schmucks.
Hezbollah has fired 8800 rockets since 10/8/2023. Apparently that’s not a provocation.
In addition, much of their comms, command structure, and about half their arsenal has been destroyed in the last week. Their temptation is meaningless. https://t.co/Y8ogvR1z6Y

“Provoked”? Because after 11 months of bombing Israeli civilians Israel meaningfully responded? What is wrong with you? https://t.co/GWENnF72Ba
