💢🇱🇧 BREAKING | Israel launched 100 strikes across Lebanon in 10 minutes Wednesday afternoon, targeting Beirut, the south, and the Bekaa Valley — hours after a ceasefire was announced and declared “effective immediately” by Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. Sounds of ambulances filled the streets of Beirut from 3 PM local time. The Lebanese Red Cross head Georges Kettaneh told LBCI: “The wounded and casualties are numerous. We are doing everything we can to save them.” Several Beirut hospitals issued urgent blood donation appeals. Neighborhoods struck in Beirut without prior warning included Salim Slem, Borj Abi Haidar, Corniche al-Mazraa, Bashoura, and the southern suburbs. Kaifoun and Bshamoun, east of Beirut, were also hit, according to L’Orient Today. Across southern Lebanon, the cities of Tyre, Sidon, and Nabatieh were struck alongside villages including Adloun, Bazourieh, al-Abbassieh, Zefta, Sir al-Gharbieh, Ansar, and Ain Baal. In Sidon, a strike on the al-Zahraa complex wounded Al Manar correspondent Amin Shumer. In the eastern Bekaa Valley, strikes hit Baalbek and villages including Hermel, Shemstar, al-Karak, al-Ferzel, Boudai, and Sohmor. Several people were wounded in Hermel. Two people were killed when a truck was struck between Hasbaya and Maymas. The Amal Movement confirmed six people killed in an earlier strike on Srifa, a village in southern Lebanon near the coastal city of Tyre. In Mansouri — another southern village along the Mediterranean coast — 13 residents, including the village mukhtar, lost contact after returning home following the ceasefire announcement, as the town came under repeated shelling. Netanyahu has stated the ceasefire does not cover Lebanon, even as Hezbollah halted fire on northern Israel and invading ground troops, according to Reuters. Drop Site correspondent Lylla Younes reported warplanes back in the sky over Beirut at 8 AM local time, with ambulances running nonstop and people screaming in the streets.

"Iran is a theocratic terrorist state using terrorist proxies to bring about pain and suffering all over the world" Oh, wait...

@Acyn Someone should say Iran is a theocratic terrorist state and the US isn't. Just fucking say it. I dare you.

Hegseth: God deserves all the glory. Tens of thousands of strikes carried out under the protection of divine providence. A massive effort with miraculous protection. God is good.

In this tweet Chris Murphy: -Pushes the lie about Iranian nukes -Reveals he wants Iranians completely disarmed -Thinks the US should control Iranian territory Democrats are upset Trump didn’t collapse a state of 90 million people. They wanted this war.

@Olivia_Reingold @TheFP If we pay for their military and wars and 'defense' that they otherwise have paid from their healthcare benefits, then yeah...we pay for their healthcare. Free Palestine, yes. Great reporting!

Hasan Piker just claimed that the U.S. pays for Israelis to have free healthcare on stage at Abdul El-Sayed rally. Just closed out with “free Palestine.” Reporting for @TheFP

@neeratanden Your fucking party establishment is dead, people aren't.

They keep telling me the Dem party is dead. But voters keep thinking it's alive.

This is trolling at the next level.

@TOliveFern It really shows how disgustingly vile zionists are when they are fucking disappointed by a ceasefire and the potential lost of thousands of lives. How the fuck is anyone supposed to treat these vile scum of the earth with ANYTHING but the deepest scorn and hate? How!

absolute meltdown on zionist twitter lmao

@AP The genocidal fucking occupier doesn't give a rat fuck about ceasefire or ANY law or treaty. Calling it a rogue state is underestimating what this demon country stands for.

An Israeli military official says the country is still attacking Iran, after the White House said Israel agreed to the two-week U.S.-Iran ceasefire agreement. apnews.com/live/iran-war-…

People still don't realise that Trump only threatens deranged things to scare people into cutting deals. That's why he didn't actually go to war with Iran, and endanger the world's economy, for unclear reasons and without a coherent plan.

Who's the terrorist state now?

Riley "ooh let's call out their most minor support of trans rights exactly when they voice against an imminent genocidal threat" Gaines -- aka bitch

"I told you so"

It’s the hell you helped drag us into, @SenSchumer, by putting “Israel” first for decades, including by relentlessly demonizing Iran, voting against JCPOA and arming and supporting the Zionist genocide in Palestine. This is on you.

This is a threat of genocide and merits removal from office. The President’s mental faculties are collapsing and cannot be trusted. To every individual in the President’s chain of command: You have a duty to refuse illegal orders. That includes carrying out this threat.

Huh?

What's the point of democracy and separation of powers when you can't even prevent a genocide and act on it EVEN THOUGH YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. What's the fucking point?

@ContraPoints All of them. All of them are waiting for the consequence first.

Seriously where are the revolutionaries? Are they at brunch?

@ccguyton @mynamehear Will they fucking try before 8 p.m. when there's a potential of an actual genocide from an insane genocidal maniac?

@BeatStomp @mynamehear If they call for any of those do you believe Mike Johnson would even bring those bills to the floor for a vote?

Some of you need to take a basic civics lesson on the United States federal government. There is nothing Democrats can do to stop what's going on right now. You gave Republicans all the power. Start calling for THEM to do something.

@mynamehear They can organize a joint special session in an emergency by pressuring and working with the majority leaders, they can fucking form a line in front of the fucking Capitol Hill & White House like how the Iranian children are doing in front of the power plants right the fuck now.

@BeatStomp They can't hold an emergency session. They. Are. Not. In. Power. Multiple Democrats have introduced impeachment papers this term. They go nowhere because Republicans are in charge. Democrats can call for the 25th but it's meaningless. Republicans hold all the cards.
