“Israeli Forces Bulldoze Saint George Statue in Christian Lebanese Village”


Only one bridge is left to connect to the coastal city of #Tyre after #Israel bombed seven bridges crossing the Litani, practically isolating #Lebanon’s south. If that bridge gets struck too, it would create “a humanitarian disaster,” an official in Tyre told me. 15% of the city’s 60k residents remain despite Israel’s forced evac orders. Report coming soon @PBS @NewsHour.



Why is the army leaving southern Christian villages? Is it because they received orders from Hezbollah so their militants can infiltrate them and turn them into Israeli targets? Or do we have a better explanation? Regardless of the reason: shameful army, shameful government.

My worst nightmare for Lebanon is coming true, and I am beginning to seriously question my assumption that Israel does not want to annex Lebanese territory The Defense Minister's statement today that Israel will occupy a part of Southern Lebanon after the war is inexcusable How can they expect to get rid of Hezbollah, which was founded because of Israel's occupation of Lebanon, if their goal is to occupy Lebanon again?!





The @AP is now calling Israel’s military actions in southern Lebanon an invasion. Here's why we made that decision: apnews.com/article/iran-l…
