As fighting continues to rage on the Israel-Lebanon border, another overnight drone strike was carried out by Hezbollah against a gathering of Israeli troops in the border area.
Details are still scant, and so far, Israeli media has not published any stories on the matter. The reports coming from elsewhere indicate that at least 31 Israeli soldiers were wounded in this latest incident, which is being described as a “difficult incident.”
This is the second substantial incident of Israeli troop casualties resulting from a Hezbollah drone this week. Previously on Sunday evening, a drone strike hit the Israeli military base in Binyamina, killing four soldiers and wounding over 60 others.
This comes as Israel continues its ground invasion of Lebanon, its ongoing ground invasion of the Gaza Strip, and military operations against both Syria and the occupied West Bank. Tensions have soared throughout the region as a result.
Late Thursday, Hezbollah said that was entering an “escalatory phase” of the war against the Israeli invasion. The organization also noted that it has begun using precision-guided munitions against Israeli troops for the first time in the conflict.
The war with Hezbollah has displaced many Israelis from the north of that country, and an enormous number of Lebanese civilians have been displaced as Israeli airstrikes hit anywhere and everywhere.
Get out of Lebanon!
Get out of Gaza!
Free Palestine!
Resistance Never Dies…!
Only an invasion will solve the problem long term. Even before 2024, there was a tremendous justification for it looking back at the history of this conflict going back to 1948.In 2024, to say that Israel has simply crossed glaring red lines would be an understatement.
The US empire is Israel, Israel is the US empire.
The second part is true, the first one isn't. "Israel" is a tiny neo-crusader beachhead that can be abandoned at any time. Much more important for the USA is Bahrain.
The physical land of Israel is, but Zionist ideology and influential wealth is embedded in US empire.
Yes, it is. It’s been floating around England and France (primarily) since the 17th century or so. However the true reasons for de facto Zionism are US (plus Ententè) imperialist ones: preventing Arab unity and thus keeping a neo-colonial order in the so-called Middle East (West Asia and North Africa). Sunni jihadism also works in that direction: dividing under CIA and puppet tyrannies’ (Saudia, Turkey) string-pulling and providing pretexts for direct interventions (most famously against Afghanistan but simultaneously also against Western traditional freedoms in the USA itself). It’s hard to see how Arab unificantion could have been impeded without the tool of Israel.
Yes, I know.
That doesn’t, however, discard the wealth influence in imperialism. Oligarchs drive hegemony.
Oligarchs rule the USA, Wall Street does, but it’s mostly not ideological: some are rabid Zionists but many are just “realists” driven by imperial interest in which Israel is nothing but a pawn.
You did not dispute my point.
We will still watch how Hizbollah and other Resistance forces invade "Israel". Once they reach the West Bank and begin arming the locals, it's over.
