Katie wrote about this yesterday: Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah is dead, turned into an ashtray by Israeli airstrikes that leveled the headquarters of the terror group. Nasrallah wasn’t the only one killed—it looks like Israel got what was left of the leadership. It was a total decapitation. Reportedly, the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's trip to the United Nations in New York was part of a “diversion” to lull Nasrallah and his minions into a false sense of security (via Times of Israel):
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s decision to go ahead with his trip to the UN General Assembly despite the escalating fighting with Hezbollah “was part of a diversion” to lull Hassan Nasrallah into believing Israel wouldn’t target him while the premier was in New York, a senior Israeli official tells the Telegraph.
Bravo, Israel. As some noted, this move made the United Nations useful for once.

Look at what Israel did to Hezbollah in a week and a half.
Now imagine what it could have done to Hamas had it ignored the misguided pressure from Biden-Harris

Iran is in shambles.
