Israel Launches Massive Attack on Lebanon, Heightening Fears of All-Out War
Israel Launches Massive Attack on Lebanon, Heightening Fears of All-Out War
Israel's military deployed around 100 fighter jets to launch a massive bombing campaign in southern Lebanon on Sunday, endangering tens of thousands of civilians and heightening the chances of an all-out regional war.
A natural progression historically. If war ever ends for Israel netanyahu and a lot of his regime will face massive consequences. As is the fascist playbook, the state must now constantly be at war
Without the country facing massive consequences nothing will change.
Netanyahu is but one person in a line of hate, his mentors were as fucked up and his protégés today will be.
Israelis elected him multiple times over decades. The problems are deep seated into the fabric of the nation.
Sounds like an amazing reason to cut off all aid and support if it just let's them continue or start wars
No guys they're like, a SUPER important partner in the middle East. They're just defending themselves bro. That Palestinian kid was going to become Hamas one day. Yeah but dude it's the only democracy in the middle east! We have to support them, right?! Maybe they do some war crimes, but you have to think about how many war crimes we're preventing in the process. Just one more assassination bro I swear this will be the last one.... btw, got any money? I know I said I wouldn't ask but there's this hospital right...Hamas all over it. Hizbollahs too. They dress like doctors but that's just how they trick you
Hezbollah is a terrorist group, not an innocent child.
Could you please make an effort to discuss articles that are being linked to?
Did you know that Nelson Mandela was a terrorist? Seriously. He was a terrorist leader. He co-founded uMkhonto weSizwe. A anti-apartheid terrorist organization.
And the IRA. Terrorists that lived their car bombs.
The US military has explicitly used terrorist tactics in war.
As for Hezbollah... They were founded when Israel invaded Lebanon to act as a resistance force. Since Israel still holds Lebanese territory Hezbollah still has a reason to exist.
It also doesn't help that the IDF has been launching air strikes and assassinations in neighboring countries since the 50s...
Which really makes the IDF the true terrorist organization here.
No duuuude you don't understand, they're totally evil! We need - NEED - to be able to assassinate people on foreign soil and commit a genocide with no consequences bro. If they fight back that's just proof of how terroristy they are. Come on bro we have to secure peace and protect democracy bro, just a few more bombs bro we swear
Israel once again escalating because Joe Biden continues to arm them.
They're pissed they didn't get a reaction from their last round of being cunts.
Bibi Nazi must die. If possible, in a horrible and painful way. We must get rid of that fucking nazi before a world war bursts.
If I'm connecting the dots correctly, Hezbollah was preparing to strike Israel on behalf of Iran, all in retaliation for the assassination of a Hamas leader on Iranian soil...
I cannot imagine this will end well or Iran will just let it go.
The missile attack from Iran back in April de-escalated though. Not saying that will happen again this time, but it's definitely imaginable Iran actually will let it go.
Especially considering the last missile attack proved to be ineffective. Missiles aren't free, it takes time and money to make more. Once those missiles are fired they don't have more for a while to fire back if and when Israel retaliates.
The last time Israel hit a field near to a strategic Iranian missile site as retaliation. So they "missed" and both sides de-escalated. It's widely assumed that Israel didn't actually miss, the missile hit exactly where intended as a warning. While Iranian missiles weren't able to significantly penetrate Israeli missile defenses, Israel's missiles can penetrate Iranian defenses even in areas of strategic importance. Next missile attack from Iran will result in that nuclear research site (and possibly other sites of strategic value) likely being destroyed.
So there will be a significant cost for Iran to fire missiles at Israel. They still might do it, hoping whatever improvements they may have made to their air defenses will work this time around. But it's a big gamble for Iran to directly fire missiles at Israel again rather than have their Hezbollah proxies do it.
So further activity will likely come from Hezbollah, but it's a similar situation for them as Iran. Missiles fired and shot down by Israeli air defenses is a net loss to them. Having the threat of being able to fire a lot of missiles goes away once those missiles are fired.
Have to wait and see how this plays out.
Hazbolaah has attack multiple places as part of their first phase in response of the killing of one of their leaders earlier today/yesterday. Israel didn't comment about that attack. The news going around is that Israel frame this as a preemptive strike but it is actually not.
"[...] Israel frame this as a preemptive strike but it is actually not."
I'm not that familiar with what exactly is happening. Will you please cite a reputable source that can confirm what you're claiming?
All-Out War. Maybe they are going for total war.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) characterized the wave of airstrikes as an effort to preemptively "remove the threat" posed by a purportedly imminent Hezbollah attack
You gotta love how they're trying to spin this. Hezbollah has proudly declared that this 'purportedly' imminent attack was indeed very real, very planned and very carried out some hours later
endangering tens of thousands of civilians and heightening the chances of an all-out regional war.
Those 'tens of thousands civilians' have already evacuated months ago and the only casualties were three (3) fighters from Hezbollah and some associated group. Source : Hezbollah themselves
I wonder how people can keep reading this kind of propaganda and not worry why it doesn't correlate with what international observers and even Hezbollah themselves are saying
Yeah, this is bad. I guess Hezbollah doesn't think much of the negotiations in Cairo. Dammit.
Just ignoring the part where Isreal is escalating war with all their neighbors, and also ignoring the negotiations
So you’re blaming Hezbollah for the current situation? You do know Israel has been refusing to ceasefire since the beginning of people demanding it, they also refuse to stop murdering innocent Palestinian civilians.
They (Israel) refuse to stop the genocide on Palestinians, they refuse two-state solution.
We could even go on about the entire situation from 1948-2024 and then let’s talk about “who does not think much about negotiations”.
Is it bad? Yes, indeed it is. It has been bad for a very long time.
So you’re blaming Hezbollah for the current situation?
wat?
