Well shit.

BREAKING: Israel is intensely bombing villages in South Lebanon and the Bekaa Valley, deliberately targeting civilian areas in the middle of the night.

Israel is using the same script in Lebanon that it used to justify the total destruction and mass slaughter in Gaza because they faced no consequences. US weapons continue to flow and the media continues to whitewash.

Southern Lebanon is Lebanon. The Bekaa is Lebanon. Dahye is Beirut. They’re not separate entities because Israel says so. Lebanons is tiny. Everything is close. They’re bombing Lebanon. They’re killing Lebanese. They want to reoccupy a piece of our land. They won’t succeed.

Israel is intentionally bombing the vicinity of hospitals and schools across South Lebanon, and critical roads leading to hospitals and medical facilities. Israel is targeting civilian homes and infrastructure, not military targets. These are blatant war crimes.

Western press is largely complicit with Israeli genocide and now attacks against Lebanon. These are not “evacuation warnings”, they are justification for mass war crimes and forced displacement of civilian population. Do your fucking job and report honestly

Dina Darwiche, a UNHCR employee, has been killed alongside her son Jad in an Israeli strike that hit their residential building in Bekaa, Lebanon😞
