The man who works for a media organisation that worked flat out to destroy Corbyn and deny us a future socialist government has some gall calling out @thecanary here. His shitrag backed Saudi Arabia's record on women and gave Erdogan a column to lecture on human rights.

Keir Starmer should not go on Nick Ferrari's show (and fail to call out white supremacism while he's there) 🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝 Jeremy Corbyn should not be giving friendly interviews to The Canary in which he urges people to support them

Israel targets a British journalist in Lebanon. The BBC: “Missile lands next to presenter” Pathetic even by its own incredibly low standards.

@TadhgHickey Wow. It just “landed” near me purely by chance. Not a targeted attack that nearly killed me. I mean this is shite even by BBC standards.

Today I$rael tried to kill me in a targeted airstrike in southern Lebanon as I was reporting on was the targeting of bridges and the forced displacement of 1 million people, an ethnic cleansing operation on a larger scale than the Nakba I have absolutely no doubt that this was deliberate. Despite claims there were no warnings ahead of the strike and no notifications sent to the Lebanese Army who allowed us to film As we have seen in Gaza they want to silence journalists who document and report their war crimes It is the western powers who provide political and military support for I$rael, arming it to the teeth to carry out genocide in Gaza and ethnic cleansing here in Lebanon. They are not simply complicit, but active participants and should be held accountable for their actions. But if I$rael thinks today’s strike will silence us and keep us out of the field they are very, very mistaken

The battle is still ongoing in Taybeh, south Lebanon; with the burnt earth created by the Zionists during the "ceasefire" now working against them. The Islamic Resistance is raining waives of missile on any Zionists trying to retreat from the village or enter it to retreat their dead garbage.
Free Palestine TV@TVFreePalestine

Huge battle in Taybeh village, south Lebanon, with the Jewish invaders falling into an ambush set by the Islamic Resistance, and 4 tank burning with the garbage inside them. Special forces and helicopters have been trying for more than an hour to retrieve their dead, but they keep retreating and incurring even more loses instead. The heroic acts of these Servants of God will be studied for centuries after the Jewish Colony is defeated.

@SweeneySteve We won’t be displaced permanently, we’ll return to our homes and to our land even if we have to crawl for miles, and live in tents while we build back what this temporary Zionist entity had destroyed. The south is where every southern will live and die and be buried

Israel says it is bombing bridges to disrupt Hezbollah supply lines. But on the ground the reality is stark: entire routes into southern Lebanon are being severed — effectively cutting off around 1 million people from their homes. Families who have lived on this land for generations now face the very real risk of permanent displacement, unable to return, rebuild, or even reach what remains of their communities. What is being framed as a military tactic is also reshaping the map of civilian life

@McdowallRose This was just a piece filmed very quickly in the car as I$raeli missiles and artillery fire was intensifying around us with fighter jets and drones overhead so it wasn’t too polished :)

@McdowallRose I’ve been saying it every single day in my reports from the ground for the past two years. It’s an ethnic cleansing operation on a bigger scale than the Nakba.

Hezbollah just announced that they destroyed 4 Israeli Merkava tanks in the Lebanese town of Taybeh. Just imagine: the young man who destroyed the tank is actually an outlaw wanted by the Lebanese authorities, even though he is out there defending his country! And as of this moment, the clashes are still going on.

Reporting from the ground in Nabatieh after an I$raeli airstrike levelled a 4-storey civilian building in the town of Harouf, killing four people. Fighter jets continue to roar overhead as explosions pound the surrounding area, sending shockwaves through already devastated neighbourhoods.

All of their strikes are targeting densely populated civilian areas. These kind of attacks are deeply embedded in I$raeli military strategy. The aim is to break support for the resistance and pressure the government to normalise relations with I$rael, the so-called Dahiya Doctrine named after Beirut’s southern suburbs

I was staying round the corner from here when I was in Beirut recently and I can tell you this is an incredibly densely populated residential area with schools and nurseries. Israel is committing war crime after war crime with full backing of the west.

Reporting from the ground in Sidon after a drone strike in the early hours of Wednesday killed two people — including an emergency worker. Three residential buildings were also hit across the port city as the bombardment widened. At the same time, strikes pounded the Lebanese capital Beirut, where a 15-storey building collapsed with at least 12 people reportedly killed.
