The #Israeli bastards are destroying entire villages and towns turning everying to dust as if had never been there.
This is exactly what they did in Northern #Gaza where the names of places are all that remains
Indeed, under the cover of journalistic blackout thermobibaric devices extinguished concrete and all human and organic life
And now they are doing the same in #Lebanon
STOP THEM !

Very cool seeing the wave of empty tankers heading to the US to pick up some desperately needed crude for Hormuz-starved markets.

In a potential boost to #MiddleEast #ceasefire efforts, #Netanyahu said Thurs that he authorized direct negotiations “as soon as possible” with #Lebanon aimed at disarming #Iran-backed #Hezbollah militants & establishing relations between.
The 2 countries have technically been at #war since #Israel was established in 1948.
There was no comment from Lebanese authorities. But Israel-Lebanon negotiations are expected to begin next week at the State Dept in Washington.
Hours after Iran and the U.S. reached a ceasefire deal, Israel launched one of its most devastating attacks on Lebanon to date.
Over a hundred strikes in ten minutes - carnage in Beirut, where hundreds of thousands of displaced people are sheltering.
Hundreds dead, entire neighbourhoods reduced to rubble. Reports of ethnic cleansing and open discussion of permanent military occupation.
Prime Minister Carney has rightly condemned the invasion as illegal, but words are not enough.
Canada must bring sanctions against Israel, cancel the Canada-Israel free trade agreement, implement a real two-way arms embargo, and use every diplomatic and economic tool at our disposal to rein in Israel.
US-Israeli impunity has shredded the international order: Canada should lead in rebuilding it.
"..a huge swathe of the south has been occupied by an invading army that’s targeted and killed civilians (a war crime), children (a war crime), medics (a war crime), journalists (a war crime), blown up critical infrastructure including bridges (a war crime), and has seen a fifth of its population made homeless overnight (a war crime)"

I’ve known Lebanon for three decades. What’s happening there now is an invasion. This is Gaza 2.0 – and the world is barely paying attention. By Carole CadwalladrCarole Cadwalladr (The Nerve)
#Iran accuses #US of violating parts of deal framework, says #ceasefire 'unreasonable'
Iran accused the US of violating 3 clauses of its framework for a deal.
Araghchi insisted an end to the #war in #Lebanon was part of the ceasefire agreement with #Netanyahu & #Trump said the truce did not cover Lebanon.
“The world sees the massacres in Lebanon,” he said in a post on X. “The ball is in the US court, & the world is watching whether it will act on its commitments.”
Israel got away with targeting #healthcare in #Gaza It’s no surprise it is doing it in #Lebanon too
When will @EUCommission and especially @Bundesregierung speak out and stop supporting this insanity? #Complicit #BDSIsrael
Once again #Israel is breaking a #ceasefire once again targeting #hospitals , once again using callous #doublestrikes

Israel got away with targeting healthcare in Gaza. It’s no surprise it is doing it in Lebanon too
As a doctor who has worked in a conflict zone, I’ve seen spaces that were once considered sacrosanct become fair game in war. This has to end, says Seema Jilani, a paediatric physicianSeema Jilani (The Guardian)

#Iran halts #Hormuz #oil tanker traffic after Israel's #Lebanon attacks, Iranian media says
Iran has halted oil tanker traffic through the #StraitOfHormuz after #Israel attacked Lebanon, semi-official news agency Fars reported.
Pakistani PM Shehbaz Sharif said earlier that Lebanon was included in the ceasefire between Israel, the #US & Iran, but the Israeli military said attacks on #Hezbollah in Lebanon would continue.
Even as #Israel paused its attacks on #Iran, it escalated its parallel war in #Lebanon, launching what it described as its biggest strikes yet.
Lebanon's health minister said the strikes left dozens dead & hundreds wounded.
Lebanese PM Nawaf Salam said attacks on densely populated #residential areas ignored regional & international peace efforts.

What do #Putin, #Trump & #Netanyahu have in common?
When faced with domestic/personal political problems, an easy method to sideline & slowly solve them, is to start or escalate #war.
It shifts the public conversation, changes the legal & political environment /interests, eases expanded military action at home, & creates opportunities to reward & align with certain factions (oligarchs, corporations, #military leaders).

AP is calling Israel’s #military actions in southern #Lebanon an #invasion.
#Israel has moved thousands of #troops across the border into Lebanon, & Israeli forces & #Iran backed #Hezbollah have been fighting for at least 3 wks
Israeli ofcls, including the defense minister, said they want to take control of the entire area south of the Litani River— ~20 miles north of the border—& that displaced Lebanese residents will not be allowed back until Israel decides its safe.
Rania, please tell us more about the situation now. I know the food prices got much worse when #Israel and the US attacked #Iran and #Lebanon, but are food prices still rising or are they starting to come down at all?
Is there much crime or violence within the camps, or are things reasonably calm?
How is your tent, and do many other people also have damaged tents?
