The Israeli military said Tuesday that Iran has fired missiles and it ordered residents to remain close to bomb shelters as air raid sirens sounded across the country.
I'm sure that it will be great comfort to the Iranian people that their leaders dragged them into a war that few of the population want to see happening. Because it's probably a good bet that you couldn't fill a stadium with the numer of Iranians that want to go to war because Hezbollah is getting their asses kicked.
Meanwhile, in Lebanon:
The UN agency for Palestinian refugees said a top Hamas commander killed in Lebanon Monday was one of its employees but had been suspended since allegations of his ties to the militant group emerged in March.
So which was the side hustle, being a terrorist or a teacher?
According to Israeli historian Raz Segal's piece in Jewish Currents magazine, there's "A Textbook Case of Genocide" in the Middle East.

As someone else once wrote,
"If an enemy hides military assets under/behind civilian infrastructure and people, well, that's just how the cookie crumbles. IDF and Mossad HQs are legitimate military targets, and they put the IDF HQ next to civilian apartment schools and hospitals. Iran is in a region of the world that operates under Irgun-Lehi-Kach Rules and, when an enemy's clear goal is genocide, the gloves come off."

(Note: Theodore N. Kaufman's clear goal in "Germany Must Perish" was genocide. His ability to have the genocide carried out was less than bupkis.)
