CONFIRMED: Hezbollah's 'new leader' met his 72 virgins

Israel has killed Hezbollah's 'next leader' in a fatal blitz on a hidden bunker in the latest blow for the Iran-backed terror group.

Hashem Safieddine was killed in an Israeli airstrike in southern Beirut in early October, the Israeli military said today.

Safieddine was a powerful cleric within the Hezbollah ranks and was anticipated to succeed Hassan Nasrallah.

According to Israel, Safieddine was killed during their airstrikes in early October within a southern suburb of Beirut.

About 25 other Hezbollah leaders were also reportedly killed during the airstrike.

As the head of Hezbollah's executive council, Safieddine oversaw the group's political affairs. He also sat on the Jihad Council, where he helped manage military affairs.

His key role in the terror group made him a prime target for Israel.

Safieddine was groomed for the leadership role by Nasrallah before he was also killed in an Israeli precision airstrike on Beirut.

He wore a black turban denoting descent from Islam's Prophet Mohammed, and his physical resemblance to Nasrallah - who led the Lebanese Shi'ite group for more than three decades - also marked him as a favourite for the succession.

Safieddine hails from a prominent Lebanese Shi'ite family, and was born in the country's predominantly Shi'ite south.

He studied at religious seminaries in the Iranian city of Qom before returning to Lebanon in the 1990s to assume leadership responsibilities in the group.

Safieddine maintained strong ties to Hezbollah's backers in Iran.

His son, Rida, was married to the daughter of the late Iranian general Qassem Soleimani, head of Iran's Revolutionary Guards' Quds Force, until he was killed by a U.S. drone strike in Baghdad in 2020.

His brother, Abdullah, serves as Hezbollah's representative in Tehran.

As executive council chief, Safieddine played a role some likened to that of prime minister of a government, responsible for an array of Hezbollah institutions involved in health care, education, culture, and construction, and other activities.

He led efforts to rebuild the Hezbollah-controlled southern suburbs of Beirut following the group's 2006 war with Israel, when swathes of the area were flattened by Israeli airstrikes.

As a “policy advisor,” I’m trying to imagine what her need was to know something like the details of an ally’s military operational planning. Is this yet one more example of the failure of defense officials to follow that most fundamental of security principles? How many times must that be demonstrated for it to start sinking in?

18 USC Section 793 applies to activities such as gathering, transmitting to an unauthorized person, or losing, information pertaining to the national defense, and to conspiracies to commit such offenses.

Section 794 applies to: (1) persons who deliver, or attempt to deliver, information pertaining to the national defense of the United States to agents or subjects of foreign countries, with intent or reason to believe that it is to be used to the injury of the United States or to the advantage of a foreign nation; (2) wartime espionage; and (3) conspiracy to commit espionage.

Seems like espionage not treason.

These two seem to fit close enough for me.

In league with an entity we have deemed to be terrorist and an enemy of the US covers “Adhering to the enemy”

Providing classified information to an our, and our allies enemy of our allies plans seems to “give aid”.


“Treason” - “Espionage”. “Tomato” - “Tomahto”

So long as she is executed, I won’t quibble…

These were strongly emphasized:

1. The appropriate clearance.

and

2. THE NEED TO KNOW.

The answer to your question: It sure looks that way.

I won’t attempt to find the exact language and ruling, but the Supreme Court has ruled that treason must involve “waging war” against the United States. The unauthorized disclosure of information classified as relating to the national defense is an offense, but treason, especially as it relates to the war plans of another nation? I believe it’s not treason just because some pundit says it is—or even if it should be.

In scholarly discussions of the offense, it’s regularly pointed out that treason is the only crime defined in the US Constitution, and that’s supposedly because by defining it the Framers wanted to prevent its broad application to many things that the government wanted to suppress as had been so common in prior British practice. I believe that fundamental principle was the reason for the Supreme Court’s later ruling about waging war.

I have a hard time believing Israel would give the U.S. their exact plans knowing the history of leaking plans by the U.S.
I wouldn't trust anyone in the current administration with the lives of IDF.

I think they tested this administration, and forced us to find the leaker.

Israeli Forces Attack Iran With "Precise Strikes On Military Targets" In Retaliatory Response

https://www.zerohedge.com/geop...-attack-against-iran

Israel attacked Iran early Saturday morning local time with what it's referred to as "precise strikes on Iranian military targets," weeks after the Islamic Republic fired around 180 ballistic missiles towards Israel on Oct. 1. Blasts were reported near the headquarters of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.

In a rare announcement, the Israeli military said its strikes are underway, and that their "offensive and defensive capabilities are fully mobilized," while the WSJ reports that Israel gave the US advance notice.

"We were aware in advance," said a US official.



According to unconfirmed reports, several explosions have been heard in Tehran. According to journalist Reza Rashidpour, five large explosions were heard in the city within around 10 seconds, while Iranian Air Force jets have taken off in the western part of the country, the NY Times reports.

According to the Times:

Residents of Tehran reported hearing multiple explosions in and around the Iranian capital, and Iranian state media sites said the explosions were near or at Imam Khomeini international airport.

Maryam Naraghi, an Iranian journalist, said she heard large explosions in the eastern part of Tehran, where she lives. “It was the sound of bombs and explosions,” she said. “It was very close to where I am in the eastern part of the city.” The area includes military bases and the secretive military site Parchin.

Another Iranian journalist, Reza Rashidpour, said five massive explosions were heard in Tehran within about 10 seconds. He said Iranian air force jets had taken off in the western part of the country.

Iranians have also reported hearing explosions in Isfahan, Mashhad, and Kurdistan province, while two senior Arab officials told NBC News that the initial strike on Tehran targeted barracks and a weapons depot.

You would think that these loons would eventually figure out that Israel will wreck them every time.

Fanatics are not rational.

I'm curious how these strikes are carried out. Are they ground based missiles launched from Israel, or is their Air Force launching these attacks and flying into Iranian airspace?

Sounds like they took out air defenses in Syria and Iraq as well.
