Israel invades Lebanon. Again

Duplicate.

No, they are focusing on the fuel protests, I'd imagine.

It must be almost impossible to identify a son or daughter or mother or father or grandparent or baby from a body part. There are posters who refuse to condemn these atrocities. The final death toll from April 8th may be close to October 7th.

In the span of 10 minutes, in a macabre choreography, Israeli forces carried out around 100 strikes in the heart of residential neighborhoods. 

"We received many children, disemboweled and eviscerated, amputated or with cranial trauma. And also, many women. Some die on the way," lamented Karl Jallad, the chief physician at Rizk Hospital. By early evening, four dead and around 40 wounded, most in critical condition, had been brought in. "This is the first time, during this war and in the autumn 2024 conflict, that we have received so many children after airstrikes. That is because the strikes took place in residential neighborhoods and on buildings where families lived,"

The relentless sound of sirens filled Lebanon's capital on Wednesday after Israel launched a massive wave of strikes on Beirut and around the country, killing at least 254 people and injuring more than 1,000.

It was the deadliest day for Lebanon since the war began on March 2.

Israel said it attacked 100 Hezbollah “command centres and military sites” in 10 minutes, but provided no evidence of a Hezbollah connection to any of the sites.

Sometime Israel will be made to pay and all the hiding under ‘antisemitism’ won’t save them.

They clearly are when the likes of Bibi tries to conflate valid criticism of Israel's actions as anti semtism. I am not denying there has been a rise anti semitism since October 7th. There has also been a rise in racism against Palestinians and Arabs too. I have seen numerous examples of both on social media. I agree with the poster Enduro that it should be all called out, but unfortunately it isn't .

Around 2,000 murdered in Lebanon by Israel since the start of March Over 300 killed on 8 April - bodies are still being taken from the rubble and many of the injured may die so this figure will increase substantially.

My late father served there 3 times with UNIFIL.

He would be very sad to see this. He always had great time for the Lebanese country and its people.

Israel does not intend to stop.

Israeli ministers on Sunday hinted at a possible resumption of attacks on Iran, with Energy Minister Eli Cohen saying that Tehran could be hit if no agreement is reached, Anadolu reports.

“The nuclear issue is international, and it’s good that (US President Donald) Trump has set the red lines on the issue,” Cohen told the Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronoth.

“If there is no deal, Iran can be hit,” he added.

Regarding Lebanon, where the Israeli army has expanded its attacks, Cohen said Israel should not only strike army forces, but also Lebanon’s facilities and infrastructure.

“I have said this in the cabinet. I do not see a high chance of success for these negotiations,” he said, as Tel Aviv and Beirut agreed to hold their first meeting in Washington on April 14 aimed at securing a ceasefire and launching direct talks.

Are you? Not a fan myself. From talking to Spanish friends, he's next on the list.

Anger in Israel over Lebanon ceasefire … just when they were hoping to complete phase one (a sizeable land grab up to the Litani river).

A wave of anger and criticism has swept across Israel following US President Donald Trump’s announcement of a ceasefire in Lebanon, with political figures, local leaders, and media outlets denouncing the move as an imposed decision that sidelines Israeli leadership.

According to Israeli media reports, the ceasefire was announced from Washington before any formal discussion or vote within the Israeli cabinet.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly informed ministers of the decision only after it had already been declared, prompting widespread criticism over what many described as a collapse in decision-making sovereignty.

Sounds as though there could be another IDF investigation! There are people of influence in the US who will not be impressed by what they would regard as desecration.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday condemned an incident in which an Israeli soldier damaged a Jesus statue in southern Lebanon, stressing that the act runs counter to Israel’s values and will be investigated.

In a statement posted on X, Netanyahu said he was “stunned and saddened” by the incident, which he condemned “in the strongest terms.”

“Yesterday, like the overwhelming majority of Israelis, I was stunned and saddened to learn that an IDF soldier damaged a Catholic religious icon in southern Lebanon. I condemn the act in the strongest terms,” Netanyahu said.
