🗞️ The battalion commander in charge of Irish and Polish peacekeepers in south Lebanon has said his troops are preparing for an escalation of violence between Hezbollah militants and Israel.

However Lieutenant Colonel Stephen Mac Eoin said there is still hope of a ceasefire before the holy month of Ramadan, which begins on 10 March.

Lt Col Mac Eoin said neither Hezbollah nor Israel have yet used their full military capabilities in the region, despite a significant increase in hostilities in recent weeks.

However, he said there is a potential for a further escalation, and Irish troops are preparing for that.

🗞️ About 10 projectiles were fired in the direction of Rosh HaNikra and Shlomi settlement.

📑 Reports: An Israeli drone strike targeted a vehicle (car or truck) near al-Nahariya, on the outskirts of Qusayr province in Syria on the Lebanon border.

🌷 Between 70 and 150 Palestinians were killed by the Israeli army in Northern Gaza while attempting to reach the aid trucks.

In a hypocritic and expected statement by the Jewish army, they claim the Palestinian residents looted the aid trucks and those who died, were killed by pushing and trampling each other.

Not only is the army not allowing aid to flow into Gaza, and letting the Arab armies drop some from the air which is landing at sea or in Israel - they are accusing those who the aid is intended for of looting it.

🗞️ And even more revealing, neither the English nor the Hebrew statement on Twitter mentions the full details of the statement issued by the Jewish army.

In the complete one, the army acknowledges it shot dead many who "endangered the troops" who were securing the aid.

The dozens of innocent killed by the Jews, where shot dead with bullets - while unarmed and looking for food inside Gaza.
