"Israel Attacks Iran, Targets Military Base"
"US officials confirmed that Israel launched missile strikes against Iran today (April 19, 2024). Iranian media outlets reported that multiple explosions were heard near an Iranian military base in the central city of Isfahan. Major airports in Iran were initially closed and flights were diverted. Israel also struck Syria and Iraq. In response to Israel's latest strikes, an Iranian official said that there are "no plans for immediate retaliation against Israel." As tensions continue to escalate in West Asia, the international community is calling for de-escalation and "calmer heads to prevail". UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said that "it is high time to stop the dangerous cycle of retaliation in the Middle East." Palki Sharma tells you more."

"'Hezbollah Will Go To War If...':
Iran-backed Lebanese Group Threatens Israel"
"Hezbollah has threatened to wage a war on Israel if the IDF attacks the Iran-backed group first. Hezbollah's second-in-command, Naim Qassem, said, "If Israel attacks us and aggresses us, then we will definitely respond. If they escalate, we will escalate." The fresh threat comes amid heightened tensions between Israel and Iran in the Middle East. Early morning, explosions were heard in Iran's Isfahan province. U.S. officials claim that they were heard due to Israel's retaliatory missile strikes on Iran to avenge the weekend missile and drone barrage from Tehran. However, there has been no official confirmation."

Hezbollah has over 100,000 extremely well trained and equipped professional soldiers, battle hardened after 10 years of participating in the Syrian civil war, with enormous artillery resources. According to Col. Douglas Macgregor they have 200,000 missiles. They will crush the Israeli Occupation Force in a war...Israel will cease to exist.
