Israel has amassed more troops and tanks on the Lebanon border in recent days as it continues to pound Beirut and other areas of the country, killing over 100 people on Saturday and Sunday.
US officials told ABC News on Saturday that they believe Israel is preparing for a “limited ground incursion” into southern Lebanon even after it has decimated Hezbollah’s leadership.
On Sunday, US officials told ABC that small-scale raids to take out Hezbollah positions right across the border may have already started. The officials said they expect any ground incursion to be limited, but Israeli troops may face face stiff resistance.
The ABC report said Israel isn’t listening to US calls for de-escalation and diplomacy, which aren’t genuine since the Biden administration continues to provide military aid and shows strong public support for the killing of Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah.
Lebanon’s Health Ministry said Sunday that at least 105 people were killed in another day of Israeli bombing, which targeted Beirut, the eastern Baalbek-Hemel province, and near the southern city of Sidon. According to Al Jazeera, the strike in Sidon hit two residential buildings and killed at least 32 people.
On Saturday, the Health Ministry said at least 33 people were killed by Israeli strikes across Lebanon.
The Lebanese Government Emergency Committee released figures on Sunday of the total casualties in Lebanon inflicted by Israel over the past year. It said since October 8, 2023, 1,640 people, including 104 children and 194 women, have been killed, and 8,408 have been wounded. At least 816 of the dead have been killed since September 23, when Israel began its dramatic escalation of airstrikes.
WE are the Resistance, for Peace!
Nasrallah claimed that he could read Israel's intentions. Looks like he misread them and now he is dead. His "friend" Sinwar no doubt has ordered his tunnels in Gaza to be dug even deeper. Sinwar will make a mistake and he will joint Nasrallah.
Careful, you might wet yourself.
Go fq yourself, you homicidal psychopath.
You celebrate an attack that killed hundreds of civilians.
You're subhuman.
Get cancer.
I'm visualizing thousands of dead IDF!
More like thousands of dead Americans who will take up the fight because the IDF is 'exhausted'.
No US war for Israel!
It's time for the greater Israel project in Lebanon, Gaza and the West Bank, and it looks like Wash. is in on it also with American blood and taxes stolen from our wages every payday. Aren't you glad you are able to help the atrocities keep coming? you really didn't need those dollars subtracted from your paycheck, now, did you? protecting a racist, apartheid, genocidal regime in Tel Aviv is far more important, isn't it? /s
