On August 20, several F-35 stealthy fighter jets of the Israeli Air Force (IAF) were spotted flying over South Lebanon, the heartland of Hezbollah.
Lebanese activists shared photos of the fighter jets, which were apparently conducting a training or a reconnaissance mission in Lebanon’s airspace in a blatant violation of the country’s sovereignty and international laws.
At least 27 F-35 fighter jets are currently in service with the IAF. Israel is planning to acquire a total of 75 fighter jets of this type.

A day earlier, a number of IAF warplanes violated Lebanon’s airspace before launching a series of airstrikes on Syria’s central region.
The airstrikes hit several targets near the Syrian capital, Damascus, and in the southern countryside of Homs. Four civilians were killed and three other were wounded.
Lebanon condemned the Israeli airstrikes and lodged a complaint at the United Nations. In a statement, Caretaker Lebanese Defense Minister Zeina Akar noted that Israel’s violations of Lebanon’s airspace pose a direct and serious threat to the Lebanese navigation and safety of civil aviation.
As expected, the complaint was ignored by Israel, whose warplanes will apparently continue to operate in Lebanon’s airspace for the foreseeable future.
While the IAF is free to spy and launch attacks on Syria from Lebanon’s airspace, attacks on Lebanon’s territory are considered to be a “red line” by Hezbollah. Earlier this month, the Lebanese group fired “dozens of rockets” at northern Israel in response to few Israeli airstrikes that targeted empty areas in South Lebanon.
It is disgusting to me that my government is supplying this criminal Regime and it’s genocidal efforts against the Arab people.
Maruan Barghoutti is the real leader of Arab people. Hassan Nasrallah is the real leader of both Lebanon and Arab people. Not king of Jordan or belly dancing Arabian wahhabi Satanists.
… and they expect your great grandchildren to pay for it.
Yes the rest are bought off with grants, loans, lucrative base rental agreements and deals on military hardware military … all of which is being rethought in the wake of the US defeat in Afghanistan.

Very good eye there Fog of War! Don’t know where you got this from, but the way the rifles are being held reflect the American way to hold a rifle with the index finger extended. Look at pictures of Russian soldiers for example, they don’t hold them in a similar fashion.
Oh yeah, that’s right. Very well.
Do you have problem, you Zionistic pig with hidzabs and nikabs? For example Irish women cover theirs hair when they go to church too.
Turn billions into trillions.
No I,count in dollars. You count in your bs monet.
That $3.8B doesn’t include missile defence funding which is in a separate package. It doesn’t include all the bases, men and equipment the USA keeps in the region to defend SA and Israel. It doesn’t include the naval forces the USA keeps in the Mediterranean, Red Sea, Arabian Sea and Persian Gulf to insure Israel is supplied with energy and resources. It doesn’t include the money spent on CIA and NSA in the middle east. It doesn’t include the “migrant and refugee” grants the USA give to Israel to “administer” the Palistinians. it doesn’t include grants given by the “American schools and Hospitals abroad” program which supports military training and military hospitals. It doesn’t include BIRD grants for “scientific research and engineering” which fund Israeli weapons programs.
I could go on.
No matter how mush money and materiel Uncle provides to the Entity, the requisite fighting spirit and morale cannot be bought — I recall, with some satisfaction, the reports of a dozen IDF ‘bravos’ in a house under attack, being holed up in a bathroom, literally pissing themselves.
The present-day Israeli soldier, adept only at beating up defenseless Palestinians, will cower before the battle-hardened Hizbullah.
Opportunity to try out new generation Pantsir on these which Hezbollah already have. One was downed just with s-200. Let’s give it a try once again.
What are you mumbling about anyways, you degenerate? You’re fascist as per definition of facism.
Flop-35 is totally useless. 22 out of 22 mossad missiles were taken out by SAA. Ouch…
They need to be shot down.
Bend over, you danish imbecile, plasticine_zion wants to tell you something.
You ask that, because you can only count to 19, ALMOST 20. You didn’t learn to count more in your school. That’s your limit.
At the end the F35 not to much invisible…
