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.
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, but observers argued the Israeli bombing marked a serious escalation that could further undermine hopes of a cease-fire deal in Gaza.
“Looks like Israel is now escalating in Lebanon in a major way in the hopes of kicking off a major war in the north that has thus far been kept to more limited exchanges,” wrote political analyst Yousef Munayyer. “Just as negotiations for a cease-fire were reportedly advancing.”
You gotta love how they’re trying to spin this: Hezbollah has proudly declared that this ‘purportedly’ imminent attack was indeed very real and very carried out some hours later
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
