All Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah needed were 19 measly missiles to prompt the Biden administration to transfer $100 million in aid to the Lebanese Health Ministry, which Hezbollah has controlled since 2019.  

The likelihood that Hezbollah will start a major war against Israel increased significantly in the wake of its missile attack last week.

Hezbollah attacked Israel with 20 missiles because the outcome of Hamas’s offensive against the Jewish state in May convinced Iran’s foreign legion in Lebanon that it would only gain from aggression.

Three months ago, Hamas opened an unprovoked missile assault against Israel and incited Israeli Muslims to launch pogroms against Israeli Jews in cities across the country.

Israel responded to Hamas’ aggression with pinpoint airstrikes that targeted Hamas’s military infrastructure and command and control mechanisms and bases.

For its painstaking efforts to limit its strikes to specifically military targets, Israel was pilloried as a racist, illegitimate state and threatened with an arms embargo by progressives in the US Congress. Jews were attacked on the streets from Los Angeles to New York to Paris and London. On the other hand, Hamas was celebrated. Even as it rained down missiles on Tel Aviv, the international community, led by the Biden administration, pledged hundreds of millions of dollars in “humanitarian aid” to Gaza. To date, Hamas has received nearly a billion dollars in pledges and the money is already flowing in by the tens of millions.

Before it launched its offensive against Israel. Hamas was on the economic ropes. It had squandered the resources, destroyed the infrastructure and sucked dry the earning capacity of the denizens of Gaza, which it has controlled since 2007. But now, thanks to its latest illegal war of aggression against the Jews, it has the economic wherewithal keep its terror fiefdom afloat.
