University Professor Deported To Lebanon After Attending Funeral Of Hezbollah Leader

/3 Comments/in , /by

Rasha Alawieh, an assistant professor at Brown University’s medical school, was deported to Lebanon after attending the funeral of former Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.

According to the Department of Homeland Security, Alawieh, 34, admitted both her support of Nasrallah and her attendance at the February funeral to Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers.

“A visa is a privilege not a right—glorifying and supporting terrorists who kill Americans is grounds for visa issuance to be denied,” DHS posted on X. “This is commonsense security.”

DHS pointed out that Nasrallah — who was killed by an Israeli air strike in July — was a “brutal terrorist” who was “responsible for killing hundreds of Americans over a four-decade terror spree.”

Alawieh, a Lebanese citizen and doctor, was on a H-1B visa, which is given to foreign workers working in “specialty occupations.” Her visa was issued on March 11, a few days prior to her arrival, according to a federal complaint filed.

Iran Calls Emergency Meeting After Israel Hits Hezbollah Leader’s HQ With Massive Airstrikes

/3 Comments/in , /by

Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is convening a high-level security meeting after Israel launched massive airstrikes in Beirut targeting the leader of Hezbollah, according to The New York Times.

Khamenei will be meeting with members of the Supreme National Security Council at his compound in Iran after Israeli forces launched a major airstrike in the southern suburbs of Beirut in an apparent attempt to eliminate Hezbollah’s Hassan Nasrallah, who helms the Iran-sponsored terrorist group, according to the NYT. It is currently unclear whether Nasrallah was killed in the strikes, which have reportedly killed at least two people and injured dozens more with the toll expected to rise.

Israel reportedly believed Nasrallah to be present at a headquarters facility located beneath buildings in the Lebanese capital city, according to the NYT. The major strikes appear to have essentially flattened at least four buildings, with nearby cars also being damaged or destroyed.

Hezbollah Walkie-Talkies Explode in Second Day of Surprise Attacks

/2 Comments/in , , /by

By Washington Examiner. Hezbollah walkie-talkies exploded across Lebanon on Wednesday in a second round of electronic communications device explosions just one day after 12 people were killed and thousands were injured in similar explosions Tuesday.

Lebanese media reported several explosions in Beirut and Dahiyeh, a Hezbollah-dominated suburb of the capital. Pictures and videos posted on social media showed large fires resulting from the explosions, which were apparently hidden in devices other than the pagers used in Tuesday’s attack.

Lebanon’s Health Ministry said that nine were killed and over 300 wounded in Wednesday’s explosions. Both numbers are expected to grow.

One picture showed what appeared to be a detonated walkie-talkie. (Read more from “Hezbollah Walkie-Talkies Explode in Second Day of Surprise Attacks” HERE)

19 Iranian Revolutionary Guardsmen Die in Syria From Exploding Pagers: Report

By Daily Caller. Exploding pagers killed nineteen Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) members in Syria, The Jerusalem Post reported Wednesday, citing Al-Hadath, a Saudi news outlet.

Another 150 guardsmen were injured in the detonations, the outlet reported, citing Army Radio.

Thousands of people were wounded in pager explosions Tuesday in Lebanon and Syria, Lebanon’s public health minister stated, CBS News reported. 12 people — including Hezbollah members and a pair of children — were reportedly killed in the attack attributed to Israel, according to the minister. The alleged attack that used their own pagers was the “biggest security breach” since the terrorist organization started to fire projectiles into Israel in 2023, a high-ranking Hezbollah commander admitted to Reuters.

Iran’s ambassador to Lebanon was also injured in Tuesday’s explosions, according to CBS News.

“On September 17, Hezbollah announced the deaths of 12 fighters, including the son of a Hezbollah MP,” Joe Truzman, a senior analyst at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, tweeted. “While the Lebanese organization did not detail their deaths, most were killed in the Israeli pager operation that targeted Hezbollah in Lebanon and Syria.”

Hezbollah Vows to Punish Israel After Pager Explosions Across Lebanon

/0 Comments/in , /by

Militant group Hezbollah promised to retaliate against Israel after accusing it of detonating pagers across Lebanon on Tuesday, killing nine people and wounding nearly 3,000 others who included fighters and Iran’s envoy to Beirut.

Lebanese Information Minister Ziad Makary condemned the late-afternoon detonation of the pagers – handheld devices that Hezbollah and others in Lebanon use to send messages – as an “Israeli aggression”. Hezbollah said Israel would receive “its fair punishment” for the blasts.

The Israeli military, which has been engaged in cross-border fighting with Iran-backed Hezbollah since the start of the Gaza war in October, declined to respond to questions about the detonations.

The death toll rose from eight to nine on Tuesday night while the number of injured remained at 2,750, Lebanon’s health ministry said.

Hezbollah confirmed in an earlier statement that the deaths included at least two of its fighters and a young girl.

Self-Admitted Member of Hezbollah Caught Crossing Texas Border, Says He Wanted ‘To Make a Bomb’

/2 Comments/in , /by

A Lebanese migrant was arrested by border patrol in El Paso, Texas March 9 after he confessed to being a Hezbollah member, the New York Post reported.

Basel Bassel Ebbadi, 22, was apprehended after he admitted to being a Hezbollah member with intentions to build a bomb in New York. During his custody, Ebbadi revealed his plan when asked about the reason why he was in the US. “I’m going to try to make a bomb,” he allegedly said according to a Border Patrol document, the New York Post stated.

In a detailed interview, Ebbadi explained he left Lebanon and Hamas because he didn’t want to take lives. He also talked about his long time with Hezbollah, where he spent seven years in training aimed at non-Muslims and four years protecting weapon storage areas, the outlet stated.

Ebbadi faced many problems on his way to the US, like getting robbed in Costa Rica and using fake names in different countries. Still, he wanted to get to New York and see more of the US, the outlet added. The authorities are treating Ebbadi’s bomb threat very seriously. They have isolated him and scheduled an interview with the Tactical Terrorism Response Team (TTRT). They are also deciding which country to send him back to.

Report: Biden Admin Warns Israel Against Taking Major Military Action Against Hezbollah

/1 Comment/in , /by

Israel is considering launching a major military operation against Hezbollah after months of harassment and threats from the terror group, alarming some U.S. officials.

Hezbollah has threatened Israel on its northern border from Lebanon for months since Hamas terrorists invaded Israel from the Gaza Strip on October 7, murdering roughly 1,200 people and taking hostage hundreds more. Warnings from Israel that it intends to put a stop to Hezbollah’s threats have alarmed the Biden administration, which fears a growing Middle East conflict, according to The Washington Post. . .

The Biden administration is reportedly warning Israel against taking significant action against Hezbollah, warning that a U.S. intelligence assessment found that if Israel were to expand its military operations to Lebanon as well as Gaza, success would be difficult for Israel to achieve.

Biden administration officials believe Israel’s signals against Hezbollah may be a result of political pressure on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Netanyahu may push military action against Hezbollah in order to recover politically from the fallout over a failure to prevent the invasion of October 7, according to Biden administration concerns shared with the Post.

Iran Speeding Up Transfer Of Precision Weapons To Terrorist Group Hezbollah: Report

/10 Comments/in , /by

Iran, the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism and the backers of the terrorist group Hezbollah in Lebanon, is reportedly speeding up its transfer of precision weapons to Hezbollah as Israel is rumored to be preparing for a war to protect itself in the north.

According to Missile Threat, Hezbollah already has 130,000 rockets, and is considered the world’s most heavily armed non-state actor. As recently as Thursday, Hezbollah launched 50 rockets and missiles at northern Israel.

“We can no longer accept [Hezbollah’s elite] Radwan force sitting on the border,” Tzachi Hanegbi, Israel’s national security adviser, told Channel 12 earlier this month. “We can no longer accept Resolution 1701 [a 2006 U.N. Security Council resolution that bans Hezbollah from being within nearly 20 miles of Israel’s border] not being implemented.”

“The situation in the north must be changed. And it will change. If Hezbollah agrees to change things via diplomacy, very good, if not — we will have to act,” he said. “We will have to ensure that the situation in the north is different.” (Read more from “Iran Speeding Up Transfer Of Precision Weapons To Terrorist Group Hezbollah: Report” HERE)

Hezbollah Leader Calls U.S. ‘Great Satan,’ Insists Israelis Committed Gruesome Massacres of Jews, Not Hamas

/0 Comments/in , /by

Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah gave a speech to his followers on Friday in Lebanon in which he declared that there was no outside involvement from other governments in the Hamas massacre of Israelis on October 7, called the United States “The Great Satan,” and made the incredible claim that the Israeli themselves were the perpetrators of the horrific, gruesome actions taken by the forces of Hamas.

“From the very first hours, it was clear that the enemy was lost … you know it was the Sabbath, perfect timing by the commanders,” said Nasrallah, bragging that the attack took place on the Jewish Sabbath.

Speaking of the Israelis, he continued, “It took them hours to come out; they came out in hysterical state, angry and in insane fashion.”

He then claimed that the atrocities committed by Hamas had actually been perpetrated by Israelis, stating “That’s why when they had to recapture the settlements within Gaza envelope, they perpetrated massacres against the Israeli settlers. Not Hamas.” . . .

“We must establish this fact,” he declared. “The United States is totally responsible for the war raging in Gaza… It is the United States, proving once again, as described by (Former Iran Supreme Leader Ayatollah) Khomeini, it is the greatest Satan, the great devil.” (Read more from “Hezbollah Leader Calls U.S. ‘Great Satan,’ Insists Israelis Committed Gruesome Massacres of Jews, Not Hamas” HERE)

Feds Warn: Hamas, Hezbollah Could Be Crossing Southern Border

/16 Comments/in , , /by

Federal officials are warning that members of Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) and Hezbollah could be crossing through the southern border, according to an internal October 20 memo exclusively obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

The San Diego Field Office Intelligence Division of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) sent the memo warning that due to the war between Israel and Hamas, there could be encounters of terror-tied individuals who are seeking to travel to or from the Middle East via transit across the southern border. Hamas, PIJ and Hezbollah, all of which are U.S.-designated terrorist organizations, have been committing attacks on Israel in a war that began with a surprise attack on hundreds of civilians on October 7.

“San Diego Field Office Intelligence Unit assesses that individuals inspired by, or reacting to the current Israel-Hamas conflict may attempt travel to or from the area of hostilities in the Middle East via circuitous transit across the Southwest border,” the memo reads.

“Foreign fighters motivated by ideology or mercenary soldiers of fortune may attempt to obfuscate travel to or from the US to or from countries in the Middle East through Mexico,” the memo adds. (Read more from “Feds Warn: Hamas, Hezbollah Could Be Crossing Southern Border” HERE)
