A Palestinian Refugee Camp in Beirut Warned of Rockets, Drones From Building; November 12th

The IDF struck Beirut's Dahieh quarter today, brining down a multi-story building in a massive explosion. Residents were sent 3 consecutive warnings to leave the area, prior to the strike. 

Dahieh (Arabic: الضاحية الجنوبية, lit. 'the southern suburb',  is a predominantly Shia Muslim suburb in the south of Beirut, in the Baabda District of Lebanon. It has a minority of Sunni Muslims, Christians, and a Palestinian refugee camp with 20,000 inhabitants.  NPR's Eyder Peralta takes us to Dahieh, ortant symbol in the war. This vibrant district of Beirut is hollowed out as a stronghold of Hezbollah, important from  weeks of Israeli attacks.  Dahieh has been a base for Hezbollah since the group was founded in 1982. The area is often described as a "Hezbollah stronghold" by international media.

An attack drone launched by Hezbollah in Lebanon crashed into the yard of a preschool in the Haifa suburb of Nesher today, while the children were inside. No one was hurt. Repeated attempts to shoot down the drone failed, during the 14 minutes it took the drone to get from Lebanon to Haifa.

According to the Air Force, some 1,300 attack drones were launched at Israel since the start of the war, of which 231 hit the surface. Hezbollah still retains around 30% of its drone arsenal, the rest having been destroyed.  

The Mossad confirmed today that there is an immediate and credible threat of a plot to attack Israelis during the Full Moon party at Ko Pha Ngan, Thailand on Friday. Tens of thousands of Israelis are expected to be at the party.

Residents of Kibbutz Nir Oz have voted to rebuild their community. They said, "It is clear to us that the only victory alongside the return of our loved ones is the re-establishment of Kibbutz Nir Oz. Stronger, better, and bigger. The members of Nir Oz decided: Kibbutz Nir Oz will be rebuilt."

Parchin, Military Site in Iran

Nadene Goldfoot                                                                      

Parchin is a well known military complex in Iran just southeast of Tehran, the capital.  Many believe that it's possible there has been nuclear material being tested there as weapons by the Iranians.  It's off limits to inspection in this Iran deal. 
                                                                             

Why do they suspect something has been going on?  When Hillary Rodham Clinton was Secretary of State back in 2011,  November found the International Atomic Energy Agency report (IAEA) revealing satellite imagery of some structures and chambers or some kind of vessels.  This indicated that Iran had conducted many activities consistent with nuclear blast assessments.    Evidently Hillary did not act on this report.

Now, a confidential IAEA report was issued just yesterday, on August 27th which Reuters got a hold of.  It said, "Since our previous report in May at a particular location at the Parchin side, the agency has continued to observe, through satellite imagery, the presence of vehicles, equipment, and probable construction materials.  In addition, a small extension to an existing building" appeared to have been built.  
                                                                       

John Kerry became Secretary of State on February 1, 2013.  He  has already determined or decided that no such activity has taken place and we are not to worry.  Why not worry?  Why hasn't he inquired and checked it out?  Obama has been president since 2009.  Shouldn't he have looked into this matter?  Especially with us having to trust Iran in this Iran deal?  
                                                                                  

Netanyahu's important warning to the world of their intentions and closeness to achieving their goals was made at the United Nations in 2012 when Hillary was Secretary of State.  People laughed at him because he had been warning for some years already, but this time their preparedness was dangerously close.  He knew that their complex was immense, too much for Israel to take out as they had done to Syria and Iraq previously.  Israel needed the assistance of the USA to carry out such an attack to stop their development of an atomic bomb.  Instead, Netanyahu has been told that the USA will shoot down any Israeli plane on the way to go it alone.  Some friend!!!  
                                                                           

This latest IAEA report was part of the IAEA's inquiry into Iran's past nuclear activity as to any military aspects.  This type of fact is called PMD's.  They were a part of the IAEA concern and discussion leading up to the July 14th Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action which was signed by the USA and member nations of the P5+1; that is China, France, Russia, UK, USA and Germany.  
                                                                               

UN inspectors last visited Parchin in 2005!  The fact is, that the IAEA says that any activities Iran has had at Parchin since the UN visited Parchin could jeopardize its ability to verify Western intelligence.  This suggests that Tehran has carried out tests there that are relevant to nuclear bomb detonations more than a decade ago.

Iran says they are making it up, just like they refuse to believe that the Holocaust against Jews happened during WWII.  When they are in denial, you must understand they do not accept reality but are living in their own little bubble.  Then why did their military need this huge cylinder and concrete shield for?  This is something used in testing reactions from atomic weapons.  
                                                                           

"Oh, this is just a military site," they say.  "It's not a nuclear site."  IAEA has no restrictions on their building there.  

Spokesman John  Kirby who was just appointed May 13, 2015, former  spokesperson for Admiral Mike Mullen and then Chief of Information for the Navy,  has represented the position of the State Department and he has declared that it's just a military site DESPITE EARLIER REPORTS BY THE IAEA AND BELIEVED BY MANY ANALYSTS.  HE, WHO IS NOT AN INSPECTOR OF SUCH SITES SO HAS NO SCIENTIFIC TRAINING TO DO SO, SAYS THERE WAS NO PMD ACTIVITY THERE AT ALL!  
                                                                         

What if Netanyahu was right?  What if they've been testing out the equipment?  After all, they've been working non-stop for the past 2 years.  This site wasn't closed down.  In fact, they've been working 24/7 for years, now, only slowed down by viruses.  These mad scientists are doing all they can to develop the action they need on the tip of their missiles.  

The shock of all this is that Parchin, a military site, will be inspected by the Iranians themselves!!!  And we fell for that!!!

Update: 1:00pm from Israel embassy:  

If the international community wants to avoid war, it's crucial to get a better deal. A better deal can be achieved by returning to what brought Iran to the negotiating table in the first place: economic pressure coupled with a credible military option. That’s the real alternative. This better deal would: roll back Iran’s nuclear infrastructure; tie the lifting of restrictions to Iran's nuclear program; be tied to ending Iran's aggression and terrorism. Don't let the world's foremost terrorist regime get it's hands on the the world's most dangerous weapon Deficiencies in the Iran nuclear deal Ambassador Dermer discusses Iran nuclear deal on CNN Update: 9/3/15-http://honestreporting.com/idns-09032015-senate-iran/  "1. The White House clinched its magic number of 34 senators supporting the Iran deal when Sen. Barbara Mikulski of Maryland gave it her approval. Thirty four is the number needed to prevent opponents from scuttling the deal. Politico reports that the White House is now setting its sights on  securing 41 votes, “which would stop the resolution of disapproval from ever reaching the White House” and spare the president the need to wield a veto.
