The Iranian Ambassador gets immediately expelled after a synagogue door is set on fire, which had nothing to do with Iran, but the Israeli Ambassador gets 'called in' for a word with a DFAT staff member after the Israeli government gloats about torturing prisoners. Sickening.

The images we have seen posted by Israeli Minister Ben-Gvir - who Australia has sanctioned - are shocking and unacceptable. We condemn his actions and the degrading actions of Israeli authorities towards those detained.

💢 BREAKING: At least 11 civilians have been killed and 3 others wounded after an Israeli strike hit the town of Deir Qanoun in the Tyre District of southern Lebanon, according to preliminary casualty figures reported from the scene by journalist Courtney Bonneau. Videos circulating from the area show extensive destruction, with rescue crews and residents searching through collapsed buildings and debris in the aftermath of the strike.

Itamar Ben-Gvir: "We have a plan for settlement in Lebanon, and we also have plans to encourage the emigration from Gaza and the West Bank" This is Israel's National Security Minister. And he's telling you exactly what he intends to do. Believe him.

🚨🇮🇱🇱🇧The IDF announces the killing of an Israeli soldier in southern Lebanon

Today I instructed my legal advisers to consider the harshest legal action against The New York Times and Nicholas Kristof. They defamed the soldiers of Israel and perpetuated a blood libel about rape, trying to create a false symmetry between the genocidal terrorists of Hamas and Israel’s valiant soldiers. Under my leadership, Israel will not be silent. We will fight these lies in the court of public opinion and in the court of law. Truth will prevail.

🇱🇧 Seems like Hezbollah didn’t get the memo on any ceasefire. Their statement: "Despite our lack of posts, in the past week we have virtually accelerated our attacks... Just today we carried out 26 operations in southern Lebanon. 21 on May 11th, 24 on the 10th, 22 on the 9th, and 26 on the 8th." Daily FPV drone strikes, artillery shelling, ATGMs, and quadcopters at full pre-ceasefire intensity. Their drone operators are improving fast and the FPVs are causing real casualties. Hezbollah's holding the initiative while everyone pretends peace is breaking out.

🇱🇧 2 paramedics were killed in a targeted attack in Nabatieh, Lebanon today. They weren't fighters, they were trying to pull an injured man to safety... But he didn't make it either. Since when did medics become targets?
