Hezbollah, an Iranian-backed terrorist group that is based in Lebanon, called for a day of “unprecedented anger” directed at Israel after there was an explosion at a hospital in Gaza that killed hundreds of people.

Mainstream news organizations, left-wing politicians, and anti-Semites immediately latched onto and parroted claims by Palestinian officials claiming that Israel bombed the hospital, which resulted in the deaths of more than 500 people. However, Israel later confirmed that the explosion at the hospital was caused by a rocket that terrorists launched from inside Gaza that malfunctioned and hit the hospital.

Hezbollah joined the rest of the Islamic world in instantly blaming Israel for the attacks.

“Let tomorrow, Wednesday, be a day of unprecedented anger against the enemy and its crimes and against Biden’s visit to the Zionist entity to cover and protect this criminal entity,” the Islamic terrorist group said. “And let the message be clear that this is a day that comes after it on the path of resistance, victory, and retaliation for the oppressed from the oppressor.”

On Monday, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced that residents of 28 towns along the Israel-Lebanon border needed to evacuate the area, including the following communities: Ghajar, Dishon, Kfar Yuval, Margaliot, Metula, Avivim, Dovev, Ma’ayan Baruch, Bara’m, Manara, Yiftach, Malkia, Misgav Am, Yir’on, Dafna, Arab al-Aramshe, Shlomi, Netu’a, Ya’ara, Shtula, Matat, Zari’t, Shomera, Betzet, Adamit, Rosh HaNikram, Hanita and Kfar Giladi.

The U.S. issued a “Level 4: Do Not Travel” advisory on Tuesday night for Lebanon because of increased Hezbollah terrorist and criminal activity.

Israeli officials are concerned that Hezbollah — which is estimated to have approximately 20,000 soldiers — is preparing to launch a full-scale attack on Israel’s northern border. The terrorist group has approximately 150,000 rockets in its arsenal that could easily dwarf the recent rocket attacks launched by Hamas.

The Congressional Research Service reports:

Hezbollah operates a global criminal-financial network, with reported hubs in Europe, Africa, and Latin America. A 2022 Europol report stated, “The network of collaborators built by Hezbollah in the EU is suspected of managing the transportation and distribution of illegal drugs into the EU, dealing with firearms trafficking and running professional money laundering operations.” Other 2022 reports highlight Hezbollah’s role in the trafficking of amphetamine-type stimulants, marketed as “captagon,” along the Syria- Lebanon border.

Former President Barack Obama sabotaged a massive multi-national investigation into Hezbollah when he was in office — allowing the terrorist group to grow rapidly and letting them smuggle multiple-ton quantities of drugs in the Americas — all because he wanted to appease Iran in the hopes of getting a nuclear deal.

Israel’s Mossad gave information to British law enforcement officials in 2015 that helped them foil terrorist attacks after they caught Hezbollah terrorists stockpiling thousands of pounds of ammonium nitrate from disposable ice packs in a secret British bomb factory. Investigators recovered more ammonium nitrate at that factory than was used during the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995 that killed 168 people and damaged nearly 300 buildings.

The Biden administration tightened restrictions on exporting advanced computing semiconductors and semiconductor manufacturing equipment to China on Tuesday to counter the Chinese government from producing military applications involving hypersonic missiles and artificial intelligence.

U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said in a news release that the administration updated the export rules to further shut off pathways China uses to evade restrictions.

“These controls maintain our clear focus on military applications and confront the threats to our national security posed by the [People’s Republic of China] Government’s military-civil fusion strategy,” Raimondo said. “As we implement these restrictions, we will keep working to protect our national security by restricting access to critical technologies, vigilantly enforcing our rules, while minimizing any unintended impact on trade flows.”

The updated restrictions impose license requirements for companies from nearly two dozen countries under U.S. arms embargoes to prevent countries of concern from diverting access to restricted items to China.

Raimondo reportedly told members of the press on Monday that while AI has the potential for “huge societal benefits,” it could also invoke “tremendous and profound harm if in the wrong hands and in the wrong militaries.”

The move comes over a year after Biden officials announced they would revise China’s access to certain high-end chips critical for military advantage.

After visiting Beijing and Shanghai in August, The Hill reported Raimondo said that the Biden administration is “trying to choke” China’s military capacity.

“If they feel that, that means our strategy’s working,” she told NBC’s “Meet the Press” in early September. “Certainly, on my watch, we are not going to sell the most sophisticated American chip to China that they want for their military capacity.”

But she reportedly said the Biden administration’s “export controls are not designed to impair China’s economic growth.”

“We don’t want to be more restrictive than necessary,” Raimondo said, adding that the vast majority of semiconductors would remain unrestricted.

Mao Ning, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson, criticized the U.S. for expanding export controls on Monday, accusing the U.S. of “politicizing and weaponizing trade and tech issues” and “destabilizing global industrial and supply chains.”

President Joe Biden signed an executive order in August imposing restrictions on outbound
investments in China’s industries ranging from artificial intelligence to semiconductor and quantum computing, but administration officials reportedly admitted that slowing down the Chinese military from gaining access to such technology without economic consequences could pose a challenge.

“Now I can’t say that there’s not going to be some slowdown in Chinese capability around artificial intelligence at that high level that could possibly be used for goodness,” a senior administration official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity in a briefing ahead of the announcement, told The Washington Post. “But we have to focus on the national security implications there. Large language model applications or military applications can be very risky for the United States and its allies.”
