It seems that Lebanon is now stuck between two deadly geopolitical adventures it didn't ask for.

Turkey vs France and USA vs Iran.

All their officials will be in Lebanon this week, in the light of the Turkish and French verbal attacks on each other regarding Lebanon.

Sunday August 13, 2006 the Israeli army targeted the Imam Al-Hassan complex in Dahyeh with 23 tons of explosives aiming for a large blow against Hezbullah in the last day of the war.

30 civilians were killed, hundred injuried, with two whose bodies were never recovered. (1/2) https://t.co/QooQ1kQvIy

241 apartments were destroyed, adding to the already leveled Dahyeh from IDF strikes.

Why did this happen? The IDF was given false intel by the Lebanese minister and MP from the PSP party, Marwan Hmedeh who claimed this is a military complex and Nasrallah is there. (2/2) https://t.co/tN1ZOQLmWJ
