Reuters’ reporters seem to have a blind spot when it comes to Hezbollah. That is, they appear not to see the barrage of rockets that the Shi’a terror group has been launching at the Jewish state almost every other day since October 7. In fact, Hezbollah’s attacks have increased in frequency and size since October. On some days, Hezbollah launches more than 100 rockets. Into northern Israel. But you won’t find out about any of those attacks from Reuters. More on this curious lapsus by employees of one of the world’s most important news agencies can be found here: “October Rockets: Reuters Makes Hezbollah Attacks a Thing of the Past,” by Tamar Sternthal, CAMERA, March 17, 2024:
In their March 13 Reuters article, reporters Maya Gebeily, Laila Bassam and Henriette Chacar turn Hezbollah rocket attacks against Israel into a thing of the past, something that last happened months ago, as opposed to that very same morning. Concealing continuing and current Hezbollah rocket attacks against Israel, the trio misled (“Israeli strike in south Lebanon kills Hamas member“):
Lebanese armed group Hezbollah launched rockets at Israel in October in support of Hamas. Since then, Israel has been carrying out strikes in Lebanon, mostly confined to the border region but increasingly spreading further north and east.
That’s all we find out from Reuters about Hezbollah attacks — that “in October,” it “launched rockets.” Nothing more about subsequent Hezbollah attacks, their numbers, their frequency, their targets. And “since then” (the Hezbollah attack in October), all the war-making mentioned by these reporters seems to come only from that aggressive little Sparta, Israel, that “has been carrying out strikes in Lebanon,” and not limiting itself to southern Lebanon, but increasingly, to areas “further north and east” — another sign of the IDF’s wanton aggression.
Hezbollah launched rocket attacks against Israel not only “in” October, but also countless days since October, including the very day of the report. That morning, at 10:13, Hezbollah launched a rocket towards Hanita, in northern Israel. The previous morning, the terror organization boasted about firing 100 rockets at Israel. In recent days, Hezbollah’s attacks have been incessant.
Alongside the rocket attacks, Hezbollah drone and deadly anti-tank attacks have continued regularly until March 13 (and since, with the most recent rocket attack targeting Shtula, Shumra, Zarit and Even Menachem as these words are written, at 5:15 am ET, March 17). The Institute for National Security Studies details (screenshot at left) Hezbollah’s daily attacks against Israeli targets through Feb. 20 (along with IDF strikes against Hezbollah).
The Reuters’ reporters — all three of them have Arabic names — never mention Hezbollah’s use of drones and anti-tank projectiles, as if these were too minor to mention. Such weapons can, of course, be just as deadly as rockets.
Indeed, there have been many, many more Hezbollah attacks against Israel, rockets and otherwise, since October than in October. Daily reports detailing Hezbollah attacks on Israel are also available at the Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center, and are updated (as of this writing) until March 14.
Many of Hezbollah’s attacks have been deadly, killing numerous civilians along with soldiers. Most recently, on March 4, Hezbollah’s anti-tank fire killed a foreign agricultural worker in Moshav Margaliot and injured nine more. On Jan. 14, a Hezbollah missile attack killed an elderly mother along with her son at their home in Kfar Yuval. Electrician Shalom Aboudi was killed by a Hezbollah missile attack Nov. 12, as he attempted to repair lines damaged in an earlier Hezbollah strike….
You would never know, from reading Reuters — unless you also read the bulletins from the IDF and the Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Center, or from other Western news agencies less biased against Israel — just how constant and deadly have been Hezbollah attacks on Israel’s north. So frequent, and so deadly, that one hundred thousand Israelis have fled towns and cities in the north and moved south for safety, with no idea when Hezbollah will have been sufficiently quelled by the IDF that it will stop shelling Israel’s north, so that those internal exiles can return home.
When the failure of these reporters to report properly, as shown in the passage with which this piece began (“Lebanese armed group Hezbollah launched rockets at Israel in October in support of Hamas. Since then, Israel has been carrying out strikes in Lebanon, mostly confined to the border region but increasingly spreading further north and east.”) was brought to Reuters’ attention by CAMERA, the news agency did not provide an explanation, nor did they amend the misleading passage. One might almost think they were doing public relations for Hassan Nasrallah. Doesn’t Reuters care about its reputation?

as golda meier said if we have to choose between being dead and liked or alive and disliked, we choose the latter. nevertheless, this is disgusting and more WOKE lies.
Siddi Nasrani says
The book of Job tells us, at least in Job’s time, Satan still had access to heaven and to the throne of God. “One day the angels came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came with them. The LORD said to Satan, ’Where have you come from?’ Satan answered the LORD, ‘From roaming through the earth and going back and forth in it’”
Remember he was cast out of heaven to rule on earth.
somehistory says
For a “short period of time” he rules on earth. But humans have the power to resist him. It’s just that most humans don’t put up much resistance. mozlums none at all.
somehistory says
Isn’t Reuters one of the *news* entities which employ mozlums?
The media….all those which once were trusted to tell the news and not tell us what to think about the news…can not be trusted with the Truth. Given Truth, they hide it, bend it, twist and mangle it.
iran supports, funds, trains and supplies hezbollah as they do hamas and the houthis, as well as their own internal army of thugs.
iran has sent its operatives into the U.S. government…the state department has more than one of these operatives….so why not *news* services?
When the snakes are in control of the warrens, what can the poor rabbits expect ?

“The media….all those which once were trusted to tell the news and not tell us what to think about the news…can not be trusted with the Truth.”
Was not true decades ago but now, tragically, true.
The only news that I now trust is from well vetted conservative websites.

From the Jerusalem Post
“Saudi commentator reveals Israel’s new tactic that shook Hezbollah and Iran”
……….
“”In recent weeks, Hezbollah has begun building tunnels from Syria to Lebanon, aiming to transfer weapons from the arsenals, but at this stage, there is no benefit in tunnels. I estimate 70%-80% of the arsenals have been destroyed,” Awad theorized. “This is expected to delay any plan Hezbollah seeks to implement, and this may be Israel’s opportunity.””

Cynthia says
No surprise- CNN and BBC use Hamas operatives as “ news reporters”.
The UN uses Hamas operatives as UNRWA teachers and summer camp military trainers for children. All of our State Dept quotes Hamas numbers and lies about aid. Muslim Brotherhood operatives have infiltrated all levels of the US government.
The truth doesn’t stand a chance.
Barney says
Surely, it no longer is hezb’allah, but Isis, and not in Israel, but in Russia… So what…? It’s the same thing, bullets, rockets: they spell death and destruction, in Israel, or in Ohio, or in wherever, so: ‘si vis pacem, para bellum’.

OLD GUY says
Makes ms wonder about the ownership of some of the media. How much Sadi and Qatar money is behind the scenes. Seems like the media is all too careful about pointing fingers in their direction or at islam in general.
