Get Outside
Good morning…
This morning I woke to this update on Israel’s strike on Hezbollah.
Really incredible how many lives Israel saved today.
Hezbollah reportedly planned to launch thousands of missiles to overwhelm the missile defense at 5 am. The inevitable result would have been a lot of deaths and a major escalation/reply which would have then led to a ton more… x.com/i/web/status/1…

According to John Spencer, Israel IS winning the war Hamas started in Gaza.
The war in the north vs Hezbollah/Lebanon has seemed inevitable because on October 8th last year Hezbollah started firing rockets on Northern Israel and over 100,000 residents of Northern Israel have been displaced since.
Jewish people are not shocked. The flag of Hezbollah has an ‘assault rifle’ as their logo and the words ‘Party of Allah’. I am not sure why America is not taking them at their word.
I am not in the mood to share links this AM. It will surely be a long day and week of dreadful news and misdirection.
I am checking in on friends over in Israel.
Have a good Sunday.
PS – The Israeli and American Hostages have spent 324 days in Captivity
PSS- This is a terrible trend so do get outside…
This is a deeply concerning chart; one wonders how much this decrease in IRL socializing has contributed to the mental health crisis impacting teenagers.
