Israeli strikes on Hezbollah risk unraveling ceasefire as Iran signals possible missile response

Strikes by Israeli forces against Hezbollah in Lebanon could prompt Iran to resume missile fire on Israel, officials said, as a ceasefire between the United States and Iran took effect overnight between Tuesday and Wednesday while fighting continued on the Lebanese front.

The IDF halted fire in Iran under political direction but maintained high readiness, while continuing operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon and preparing for a possible response from Tehran.

Iranian officials signaled a commitment to defend Hezbollah if Israeli operations persist, raising the possibility of renewed missile barrages.

Less than a day after the ceasefire began, the Israeli air force completed a wave of strikes against dozens of launch sites across Iran to disrupt a planned barrage toward Israel. At the same time, operations in Lebanon intensified.

In one major operation, dubbed Operation Eternal Darkness, the IDF struck more than 100 targets using about 160 munitions in under 10 minutes.

The strikes targeted central headquarters and operatives ranging from field-level positions to senior ranks. If confirmed, the operation would mark one of the most significant blows to Hezbollah in the war.

The IDF said the strike was planned in advance and carried out when operational conditions allowed, with the aim of damaging Hezbollah’s command and control systems.

The chief of staff monitored the operation from military headquarters in Tel Aviv and emphasized continued operations against Hezbollah.

Iranian officials warned of escalation if operations in Lebanon continue.

A spokesman for the Iranian parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee called for strong deterrent measures, while Iranian media cited a security source as saying Tehran is preparing actions against military targets in Israel.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it would retaliate if strikes in Lebanon persist, signaling the potential for wider escalation.

In a statement aired by IRIB, the IRGC accused Israel of committing a “brutal massacre” in Beirut shortly after the ceasefire was announced and warned that if “aggressions” against “dear Lebanon” continue, it will “act upon our duty” and carry out a “regret-inducing response” against what it described as “evil aggressors in the region.”

US forces remain in the region and are being reinforced. The Trump administration is expected to use the ceasefire period to build up forces, maintain pressure in negotiations over a permanent arrangement and preserve military options if the truce does not hold.

The situation has been described as a containment phase, with intermittent flare-ups and partial adherence to the ceasefire. Developments in Lebanon remain a key factor, with a planned high-level meeting in Islamabad on Friday seen as a potential stabilizing point.

The IDF said it is operating on the assumption that fighting with Iran could resume on short notice, requiring forces to remain ready as Iran regroups and potentially prepares for renewed attacks.

Acts 28 ends abruptly and that’s never sat right with me. With the inclusion of Acts 29, we are given a nice well-rounded finale to Luke’s biography and some interesting closure to Pontius Pilate as well. Join me as I continue my Lost Books of the Bible series on YouTube, reading from Acts 29, 3 Corinthians, and the Phoenix of Tertullian.

IN the summer of 2019, I was seated in the wine cellar of a walled Medieval town high above the Dordogne Valley of France, not far from Sarlat-la-Canéda, making phone calls, writing reports. I have given this story in other places and it appears as though you’re about to hear it again. Rob Skiba is a name you that you might be familiar with. Though he had made a name for himself as a Nephilim researcher, more recently Rob had taken a dive into the deep end of the pool via flat earth research. The recorded interviews I conducted between he and Rick Hummer, a fellow flat earth investigator and close friend of his, was published while still occupying that very wine cellar. Read all about it. Chicago Is Not a Mirage.

Word quickly spread. Within a few short weeks, dozens of flat earth researchers began accepting my invite for a private interview, if not a series of interviews. From a 17th-century tower built by King Louis XIV, and with a stunning view of the Alps, I sat down with Robbie Davidson, founder of the Flat Earth International Conferences, conducting multiple sessions. While staying in Dumfries, Scotland, David Weiss agreed to take part in the interviews, as did Bob Knodel of Globebusters. There were others. But when I asked the interviewees to discuss the moments that shaped their lives, among the many PSYOPs, false flag attacks, and hoaxes that were discussed, only these men committed commentary to the false 9/11 narrative.

The resulting recordings ballooned into The Unexpected Cosmology, a book which became a website and was even intended as an anthology. And of course, the following discourse was originally a chapter. It was Walt Disney who stated, “Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world.” Those sentiments remain applicable here as well. American Sensationalism: The 9/11 Interviews was always intended to be expanded upon with the inclusion of new researchers. So I’m sorry to say the project became stagnant during the Covid-19 psychodrama. I took a break to tackle other projects. We lost Rob Skiba. Rob offered hours of private conversation regarding his life but we never got around to the big one. 9/11. It was in the cards. Sadly, Bob Knodel died soon afterwards. Voices are being squeezed from an entire generation. Gnosis passes with them.

In the aftermath, the FE community became fractured. People began going their separate ways. Robbie Davidson, among a noted few others who were interviewed for the project, got up and left the movement altogether. It is not my intent to erase his or the contributions of others if only brief. They came, they went, their testimonies remain.

The original vision may have hit roadblocks but it is not forgotten. I expanded this paper a few years later to include testimony from author Pauly Hart, a dear friend of mine. I had wanted to continue that trend every year thereafter but you know how it goes. For the 25th anniversary of the attack I have redirected my efforts to its first large scale expansion, including Andrew Hoy and Darrin Geisinger into the mix. Perhaps others will lend their experiences to the recorder in time.

The following is their report.
