Israel is continuing to increase airstrikes against various neighborhoods of the Lebanese capital city of Beirut. Today, those strikes centered on the densely populated working-class quarter of Zoa al-Blat. This attack hit near al-Zahra Husseini a, a Shi’ite religious site.
The attack occurred late in the afternoon, and the Lebanese Health Ministry puts the current toll at five killed and 24 injured. The attack hit a residential apartment building behind the Husseiniya, causing substantial damage to the immediate area. Rescue efforts are still underway.
The Zoqaq al-Blat Quarter, which is home to multiple embassies, has taken in a large number of displaced civilians from southern and eastern Lebanon, fleeing their homes after Israel imposed evacuation orders. Israel continues to issue such orders over an ever-increasing area since its invasion.
Israel has yet to comment on today’s attack on central Beirut, and there is no indication what or who was the actual target. Israel, however, has recently attacked a number of sites housing displaced civilians or refugees.
The targeted area is not in any designated evacuation zone, but Israel did not issue any warning to civilians in the area prior to the strike. The US envoy was scheduled to visit Beirut for ceasefire talks, but that has been delayed. It’s not clear if that delay is related to the attack.
The US and other nations have been pushing for a ceasefire to end the Israeli invasion of Lebanon. Reportedly Israel is ruling out any deal that actually requires them to stop attacking targets inside Lebanon. Despite this restriction, there are some indications that Lebanon is still viewing the proposals somewhat favorably.
Sadly violent murder of innocents. When will Israel be stopped?
Does the phrase: when hell freezes over, come to mind?…
To answer your question, when will Palestinians stop attacking Israel? It takes two to make peace and as long as Palestinians think that they will someday destroy Israel, death and destruction in that area will continue.
Israel doesn't care if a strike is 'legal' or not- once civilians are killed, or sites bombed, they're gone and no amount of courtroom action is going to bring them back. One wonders how loud the howls of outrage would be if Hezbollah pounded the Western Wall in Jerusalem into dust, or specifically targeted synagogues all over Israel.
I thought that too. Several direct hits to bring it down. That would get their attention.
Hey whatever happen to the attack on the chlorine factories?
They would just rebuild the Western Wall, just like Notre Dame was rebuild after the fire.
