The last time we saw Free Syrians celebrate like this was after Raisi's helicopter crash — but the reaction to Nasrallah tonight is even more energetic.

Not an important post, it's just funny whenever I see middle easterns shoot towards the sky like that

Burgers why don't you have more cool vids like this one?

Spoilers: he's actually quoted making a completely reasonable statement which is pretty much unsourced anyway but, of course, redditors didn't read the article.

Current Nasrallah news below. I'll be avoiding fluff news like retaliatory missile attacks and other happenings and just focus on the dead or alive status and related rumours or statements.

What Happened? Israel blows up some building in Beirut in an attack supposedly targeting Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah's very elusive big bad leader.

(this is somehow the best available footage lmao)

Latest:

IDF officially announced Hassan Nasrallah is kill Times of Israel

No body yet. No Hezbollah statement yet. I still consider this unconfirmed but it's extremely unlikely for the IDF to announce this without knowing for sure especially considering how long it's taken to do so.

More:

(in reverse chronology)

New York Times reports that Iranian officials expressed concern that the absence of a statement from Hezbollah on Mr. Nasrallah's status portended bad news and that "The cellphones of Iranian officials across the country beeped with text messages and phone calls asking variations of the same question: Any news from Sayyed? It was a reference to Mr. Nasrallah by his nickname and religious title." NYT

Iranian foreign minister says at UN meeting "the Israeli regime used several 5,000-pound bunker busters that had been gifted to them by the United States to hit residential areas in Beirut" Timers of Israel

(Curious that they are specifically saying bunker busters when this information would be impossible for them to confirm. It's as if the target was in a particularly protected area and that area was penetrated successfully?)

IDF says they are still investigating the results of the "very accurate" strike. Guardian

Hezbollah Health ministry says at least 6 are confirmed dead. No names given. Guardian

It's been hours since the strike and Hezbollah has made no official statement. Only info we have is from unnamed sources at low levels or outside but close to Hezbollah. Top leadership appears to be radio silent and unreachable according to sources close to Hezbollah. Times of Israel

Guardian reports sources close to Hezbollah say Nasrallah is "alive and well" Guardian

Iranian leaders are seething with Pezeshkian saying the attack is an "open and fragrant war crime that once again revealed the nature of state terrorism of this regime." Times of Israel

Ali Larijani, an adviser to Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei, tells Iranian state television that "any leader of the resistance will be replaced". - When asked what leaders he was speaking about Larijani looked panicked and changed the subject Times of Israel

Random unnamed Israeli official says "It's very hard to imagine him coming out alive from a strike like that" Times of Israel

Amos Yadlin former head of IDF intelligence says that his sources, which he does not name, are adamant that Nasrallah "is no longer with us." Times of Israel

Sources in Hezbollah claim Nasrallah is "fine".

Other aromatic redditors aren't particularly impressed but politely try avoid saying so

Buying a bottle of perfume isn't going to help Palestine.

Every bit goes a long way. Why discourage?

Please explain how buying perfume is going to help anything during a war?

It's not a war bud.

This doesn't answer the question

[OP] Of course im gonna do more than just buy perfume, you dont know me. Im just saying that i jusr want to help palestinian owned fragrance houses, which helps them (somewhat) as well as some part of palestine (if they do have the proceeds go to stopping the war). Please be careful while saying words next time

[OP] I didnt mean the war i mean the genocide sorry

Even she slips up

ou're conflating helping Palestine (as in the people in the active warzone being bombed) with helping Palestinian people outside of the active warzone as a show of support (since they are obviously struggling, & many Palestinians I know in the US are dealing with the loss of friends & family directly from this war). Being mindful of purchases & showing a small token of moral support by buying from Palestinian brands, shows thoughtfulness. If that's too complex for you to grasp, go google Kohlberg's stages of moral development.

>showing a small token of moral support

>shows thoughtfulness

So it's just virtual signalling then?

They want to think something they bought will make them feel all warm and tingly inside "I helped" whenever they look at it pet it and wear it, its so effing lame man. no you didn't help at all, but it makes them sleep better at night in their comfy warm beds. I guess that's all that matters to them.

Some people is very defensive with their brands. With that level of madurity you wonder what the heck are they doing spending so much money on expensive perfumes, but this is how the world is amd why the big corporations can do whatever they want. [...]

Says this while discussing expensive perfume brands on a perfume consoooming subreddit

The poll, conducted in early September by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research (PSR), found that 57% of people surveyed in the Gaza Strip said the decision to launch the offensive was incorrect, while 39% said it was correct.

It marked the first time since Oct. 7 that a PSR poll found a majority of Gazan respondents judging the decision as incorrect.

Odd that Iran is wasting time getting this involved in US politics when they're this close to finally building nukes.... ....ah well, we should still nuke them just to be sure
