While officials are saying they see “a shot” at an Israeli ceasefire in Lebanon, there is no sign of the airstrikes against Lebanese territory slowing down. Over 100 airstrikes have been reported against Lebanon in the past 24 hours.
The death toll, according to Lebanon’s Health Ministry is at least 78 people were killed nationwide in the airstrikes, and 122 others were wounded. A substantial number of women and children were among the casualties.
The biggest single strike was against a refugee shelter in the village of Joun. Joun is south of Beirut and northwest of Sidon. With people displaced from both areas, there were a substantial number of refugees flocking to the village to escape Israeli attacks. The toll has been steadily rising, and locals are reporting at least 15 were killed and 12 wounded. The killed included eight women and four children.
Not far away, another airstrike in the mountainous Aley region killed at least eight other people, according to the Health Ministry. That attack too was reported to be on a house where displaced people had taken refuge.
Other strikes were reported further south, in Tefahta and Tyre, and more deadly strikes were reported in the eastern Bekaa Valley. Both of those areas are under daily attack with multiple strikes across the country.
Despite over a month of invasion, the Israel war on Hezbollah has not halted the rocket fire headed into Israeli territory. Today, a rocket reportedly scored a “direct hit” on a warehouse in the northern Israeli city of Nahariya, killing two men. Nahariya is the northernmost coastal city in Israel, and only about 6 miles from the Lebanese border.
What happened to the consequences for not delivering aid to Gaza, btw?
This is tantamount to crimes against humanity.
You forgot that Israel is above the laws of common man. Every politician in the USA who supports this savagery should be voted out of office.
Kind of hard to do since there are only two people who pushed back: Massie and Tlaib.
How can ANY nation sit by and let Israel continue its mass-murdering campaign? Does not Israel understand that ITS actions are fueling the "terrorist" resistance? Nutty Yahoo and his sick coterie of war criminals are in essence holding the Israeli population as "human shields" as they go about pummeling and murdering its neighbors! If Israelis do NOT get rid of the criminal Nutty Yahoo they will get the results in an eye-opening way, not Nutty Yahoo and his band of thieves!
Unbridled evil must be checked..we are seeing that more and more countries have cut off relations with Israel. Once Israel is removed from the UN via the general assembly and hopefully sooner than later, the world body will come to reject this country in full much like apartheid South Africa. This must happen, and if the US wants to down with this sinking ship..let it.
