📹 During today's Israeli artillery shelling, the army didn't attack the fields to flush out any fighters but rather focused on attacking the civilian houses and population with phosphor shells.

Countless Lebanese in those villages faced lung scares and breathing problems, as the Israeli army is increasing the direct threat to civilians in an attempt to force them out.

📰 US soldier deployed for Lebanon & Israel during the Gaza war killed

Five U.S. Army Special Operations troops were killed in a helicopter refueling accident off the southeastern coast of Cyprus on Saturday morning, according to U.S. officials familiar with the incident.

The troops were in the region as part of broader American contingency planning due to the war in Gaza, which has included preparations for possible evacuations/operations in both Lebanon and Israel if they are needed.

The helicopter that went down was an MH-60, a variant of the Black Hawk flown in Special Operations units.

📰 Israel's government debates wether killing 10's of thousands or 100's of thousands in Gaza is enough

Israeli media claims that Netanyahu and Justice Minister Levin wanted to minimise civilian casualties in Gaza, in an attempt to avoid international backlash after killing 10,000+.

However, National Security Minister Ben-Gvir has voiced in several government meetings the need to kill Gazans indiscriminately

While Levin said:
“We must make this distinction between those not involved and those involved. We are making a tremendous effort to avoid harming those not involved.”


Ben-Gvir replied:
“You keep talking about non-involved, but I want it to be clear. Is this old man running with a stick to abuse civilians non-involved? He is a terrorist, he is indeed involved. Anyone who distributes candy and encourages murder is involved.”


Netanyahu reacted:
“We will not kill hundreds of thousands.”

📰 The US defense minister demanded from his Israeli counterpart explanation about the extent of the Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon - Axios

“Some in the Biden administration are concerned Israel is trying to provoke Hezbollah and create a pretext for a wider war in Lebanon that could draw the U.S. and other countries further into the conflict, according to sources briefed on the issue.”

📰 The situation in Gaza becomes darker each day, as the soldiers are reigning free in the newly occupied territories.

From smashing the bodies of Palestinians with bulldozers, to piling them up & leaving them in the open for animals to eat them, to destroying homes for fun and raising Israeli flags over Gazan land.

📰 As for the besieged Gaza city, the Israeli army continues to depopulate it by forcing mass exodus of its locals to the south.

This, as the air force destroys any sign of life outside the evacuation timeframes, damaging any civil infrastructure including mosques.

📰 The economic losses and damage that Israel perpetrated, in a bid to punish Palestinians, will take many years and even decades to overcome. Human loss is even more indescribable and unimaginable, and it only gets harsher when surviving family members bury their sons and daughters.

In recent footage, fathers are waiting for their turn to get a cloth to bury his baby child. In another, dozens of bodies lie in improvised shrouds in the courtyards of Al-Shifa hospital.

They don't have fuel or capacity to store them in fridges, nor safety to move them to a cemetery.
