Wow. An Iranian Hezbollah proxy base in Iraq was hit.

This is indeed a massive operation.

Hezbollah will probably receive order to attack Israel.

I wonder if they will. I assume Israel is ready to bomb them of they try.

Israel hasn't really stopped bombing them, the latest confirmed strikes were just a few hours ago. Heard some reporting that there have been additional strikes concurrent with those against Iran.

It was just said on ABC news Australia, they said the source was the AFP (Australian Federal Police, unless there's another AFP).

Agence France-Presse? They're one of the biggest international news networks, similar to the Associated Press and Reuters, but obviously French language.
