Just for you - https://www.irishtimes.com/world/middle-east/2024/10/01/israel-and-us-promise-sharp-response-to-iranian-missile-attack/

The only reported fatality was a Palestinian man who was killed when a rocket hit the West Bank town of Jericho.

Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said Iran fired 170 drones, more than 30 cruise missiles and more than 120 ballistic missiles.

In Reuters they reported the following:

Pentagon spokesperson Major General Patrick Ryder:
...
Iran's attack was about twice the scope of Tehran's attack on Israel on April 14

Iran's Revolutionary Guards said they used hypersonic 'Fattah' missiles 'for the first time' in attack on Israel, Iranian state TV reports

"A Palestinian worker from Gaza was reportedly killed as a result of fragments of rockets that fell in the city of Jericho in the West Bank"

There are reports about this being coordinated by Iran, which has been recruiting for a while now for this attack and possibly more.
But not from known sources, so we'll have to wait for other ones.

Probably similar to the way they tried recruiting several months ago https://archive.md/OC1fk (Haaretz)

It will mostly be Patriot, David's Sling and Arrow according to the Wikipedia article on their defense systems.
I think Barak is mostly for Navy assets?

The alternative is the libertarian socialist AANES (Rojava).

Those people came from other areas to chant in support of Hezbollah in areas where there's no support for Hezbollah.

Why are you so sure these people didn't support Hezbollah before?

I understood the point you were trying to make, hence my reply.
All those things are examples for how Hezbollah hasn't protected Lebanon, but quite the opposite.
Without Hezbollah, Lebanon could've been in a much better place now.

They're a big part of the reason Lebanon is in the bad state it is in right now.
They've been executing critics and opposition for years. The ammo depot explosion was also devastating.
Their assassination of Lebanon's prime minister.
Shooting rockets at Israel since the 8th of October against the Lebanese government's wishes.
And their continued assistance of Assad alongside Russia in butchering Syrians, which was/is not in the interest of Lebanon.

There were always Hezbollah supporters in Lebanon.

The uproar was specifically caused by the fact that Ain al-Mraiseh is not considered an area where the party is dominant. For that reason, users considered these movements as "provocative."

Only one of those 2 groups has a proven track record and an international reputation of deliberately massacring civilians and it isn't Hezbollah.

Reminding you this is what you wrote. That's what my reply was aimed at. I didn't write anything about Israel.
What I linked to is only some examples, not everything. And the 1st link contains quite a lot of events.

Lebanese, Syrians and Kurds have been suffering from Hezbollah for many years.

I posted it more because I was surprised Hezbollah is targeting the west bank.
There were rocket hits in Palestinian cities like Nablus.

Are you intentionally lying or just completely ignorant about Hezbollah?
They helped Assad slaughter civilians in Syria.

They bombed a synagogue in Argentina

Execution of critics in Lebanon like Lokman Slim

And recently shooting rockets towards towns and cities, like the Majdal Shams attack

For all Iranian women.
Jina (Mahsa) Amini was a Kurd.

Considering your previous post and now this, it is clear your posts are in bad faith.
I'll answer for the sake of others reading these comments.

First of all, Ashkenazi Jewish women aren't all Jewish women. Most Jews in Israel aren't Ashkenazi.
Either way, the study you linked to is the only study out of several that has met criticism from several geneticists and researchers.
There are several other studies that show mt-DNA of middle eastern origin.
They are all referred to in this Wikipedia page under "Maternal line".

Second, we're talking about ethnicity here, not religion. Jews are also an ethnic group. Y-DNA is very relevant.

They outlawed private DNA testing. As the article you linked to points out and explains.

This law was designed to protect the privacy and dignity of individuals and their families from the misuse of genetic information. According to this law, it is illegal to use a direct-to-consumer (DTC) genetic testing kit in Israel, unless you have a court order or a special permission from the Ministry of Health.

The law does not apply to all types of genetic testing

Another possibility is to use a DNA testing service that is authorized by the Israeli Ministry of Health

And there's plenty of research that shows all Jews share a common genetic lineage to other groups in the middle east like Syrians and Lebanese.
One example: Jewish and Middle Eastern non-Jewish populations share a common pool of Y-chromosome biallelic haplotypes

Yes, he was the Hamas leader in the Gaza strip.

The whole mess started exactly because Haniyeh was a hardliner that wasn't willing to accept any previous agreements the PLO had already made.

Hamas took over Gaza shortly after agreeing to a unity government with Fatah.

The point is, there wasn't much of a difference between Haniyeh and Sinwar.

I still don't understand how anyone calls Haniyeh a "moderate".
This is the guy who was the leader of Hamas in Gaza when they took control from Fatah by throwing officials from buildings and shooting into crowds of their supporters.

Every step they took since the 7th of October was only with Sinwar's approval anyway. Nothing has actually changed in that manner.
