The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon says these settlements had become military outposts where Israeli occupation forces are stationed to launch attacks on Lebanon. | The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah, issued an evacuation order on Saturday evening, directed at Israeli settlers in 25 settlements in northern occupied Palestine, following in the footsteps of the Israeli occupation forces who had been forcing people to flee their homes in numerous areas across Lebanon. ● The Israeli occupation forces, through their Arabic spokesperson Avichay Adraee, had been issuing evacuation orders for areas within Beirut's Southern Suburb, Southern Lebanon, the Bekaa, and even more recently a huge portion of the city of Tyre, before bombing civilian homes under the pretext that they contain military equipment used by the Islamic Resistance. ● Hezbollah, meanwhile, stated that these settlements had become military outposts where Israeli occupation forces are stationed to launch attacks on Lebanon. Consequently, Hezbollah declared them legitimate military targets for its aerial and missile forces, calling on settlers to "evacuate immediately."

13 strikes targeted Beirut's southern suburbs, causing multiple fatalities, injuries | The Israeli army conducted a series of airstrikes across southern Lebanon on Thursday night and early Friday, resulting in many casualties, including journalists, and the destruction of four buildings.

Israel expanded the scope of its attacks from the devastated Gaza Strip to Lebanon last month, carrying out a ground offensive against Hezbollah forces in the southern border areas, along with relentless daily airstrikes. | US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has embarked upon a Middle East tour as Washington makes a last-ditch attempt at pushing Israel towards some semblance of a negotiation process before the US presidential election. The itinerary of the week-long visit takes Blinken first to Israel on Tuesday, then on to Jordan and Qatar. ● Blinken has been tasked with discussing how to bring an end to Israel’s war on Hamas in Gaza, humanitarian assistance for the devastated enclave, and "day after" plans, such as security, governance, and reconstruction for the region after the fighting ends, a senior State Department official told reporters.

Israel has begun massive air strikes against Lebanon, including hitting BANKS, Airports, Shipping Ports. | All under the Israeli claim that "economic activity supports Hezballah." By that logic, all of Lebanon could be bombed, including farms because maybe they feed Hezballah. The Israelis are out of control. They need to be directly confronted and stopped. Israeli drones and fighter jets launched more than 11 consecutive airstrikes on the Lebanese capital of Beirut's Southern Suburb and its surrounding areas.

Since October 1, Israel has been conducting a ground operation against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon while conducting airstrikes. Despite its losses, Hezbollah has been fighting Israeli troops on the ground and launching rockets across the border. | Israel plans to create a buffer zone in Lebanon and Syria, a Turkish newspaper Hürriyet wrote on Wednesday, citing sources.

💬 "Israel is doing everything to shift the fire from Lebanon to Syria. It is attacking Tartus, Hama, Homs, Aleppo, Dara and even the capital Damascus. It has moved its tanks into Syrian territory. Israel will not be satisfied with this," the newspaper said.

Israel wants to take control of the territory up to the Litani River and create a buffer zone both in Lebanon and inside Syria, as per the outlet.

John Miles | Social media censorship is “indistinct from government censorship,” writer Caitlin Johnstone observed, noting that tech giants operate under both implicit and explicit guidance from Congress. |

💬 “I think it’s about time that we stop apologizing for our support for Israel,” then Senator Joe Biden declared in 1986, as if anyone ever has. “There’s no apology to be made – none. It’s the best $3 billion investment we make. Were it not for Israel, the United States of America would have to invent an Israel to protect her interests in the region.”

Although American support for its Middle Eastern ally is frequently framed under the rubric of liberal antiracism, Biden’s candid pronouncement spoke to the geopolitical realpolitik that informed US alliance with Saudi Arabia, Pol Pot’s Cambodia and apartheid South Africa. The United States’ backing of Israel has formed a core part of its modern foreign policy, invigorating Western imperialism with the potent justification of fighting terrorism just as the communist threat had been seemingly vanquished.

ebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement has released an extensive footage captured by its drones from the heart of the occupied Palestinian territories. | On Wednesday, the movement issued another episode in the series of videos that it has been releasing since June under the title, “This is what the Hoopoe came back with.” Named after the group’s advanced Hoopoe surveillance aircraft, the footage depicted strikingly detailed snaps of the Haifa-Carmel area in the territories, which is a strategic height forming the first line of defense for the suburbs of the city of Tel Aviv. The area hosts several military installations, including the regime’s Iron Dome radar, as well as highly important industrial, touristic, and scientific facilities.

There are also NUMEROUS, but UNCONFIRMED reports that Herzi Halevi, IDF Chief of Staff was the target of the attack! | At least seventeen (17) Israeli soldiers are DEAD and at least fifty-one (51) INJURED, who have been transported to several different hospitals, after Hezballah launched two drone attacks against two IDF sites inside Israel. As of 5:00 PM eastern U.S. time on Sunday, 13 October 2024, when this story is published, the attack took place about five hours ago. We have CONFIRMED the following numbers of injured IDF Troops, have arrived at the following hospitals: Thirty-six (36) have arrived at Hillel Yaffe Hospital - 5 in critical condition - 10 in average condition - The rest with minor injuries. ■ - Al-Aimk Hospital: 4 injured - Laniado Hospital: 6 injured - Sheba Hospital: 3 injured - Rambam Hospital: 3 injured. ALL of the above were reported to be eating in a base mess hall (Cafeteria/Dining area). Hezbollah ALSO struck an IDF gathering point in Binyamnina, South of Haifa, with a drone, causing more than 25 casualties. (Israeli media is reporting 67 casualties as opposed to the 25.)

Alireza Akbari | Israeli regime minister Bezalel Smotrich in a TV show earlier this week brazenly expounded the plan to expand the occupying entity "as far as Damascus," sparking massive backlash. | Known for his racist and fascist demagoguery, Smotrich made the remarks in a recently released documentary titled 'In Israel: Ministers of Chaos', in which he claimed that the expansionist agenda, rooted in the Zionist vision of a "Greater Israel" beyond the Jordan River, would unfold "little by little."

💬 "Absolutely, but slowly," Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu's close aide and confidante said when asked about extending the regime's "borders" from the Mediterranean Sea to the Jordan River. "Our great sages used to say that the future of Jerusalem was to extend as far as Damascus."

His comments came amid Israel’s genocidal war in Gaza and Lebanon. While the aggression against Lebanon has killed over 2,000 and displaced at least a million others, the onslaught on Gaza has so far claimed more than 42,000 lives and displaced over 1.5 million Palestinians in the enclave. [...] Greater Israel is an expansionist and irredentist concept and a plan to expand the Zionist entity into the territories of West Asia and North Africa.

⚡ ‘Idea of greater Israel fuelling Netanyahu’s ideology’: top UN official (10/13/24)

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has "ordered" Irish, Italian, and Ghanaian peacekeepers from the United Nations to move 5 kilometers north as he announces his plan for a full scale bombardment of the Lebanese border. Ireland has said they refuse to move from their peacekeeping posts.  ■  Peacekeepers from the UN mission in Lebanon witnessed a serious violation by Israeli forces in the early hours of Sunday morning, when three Israeli military units crossed the 'blue line' and entered Lebanese territory near the village of Ramya, UN peacekeepers announced. In addition, two Israeli tanks knocked down the main gate on the territory of the UN facility and entered inside, putting UN officials at risk, the statement added.

The UN’s Special Rapporteur on occupied Palestinian territories calls out Israel’s dangerous expansionist agenda and lays out her vision for peace in the Middle East. | So, we should be able to take a step back and see that this is not just about Israel versus Palestine or Israelis versus Palestinians. I agree with the Pope when he says the Palestinians are not victims of a war, they are victims of an ideology. But I wonder if today we cannot see that this ideology is much broader than the land of Palestine and touches all of us. How do you define this ideology? This ideology we are talking about is the one that conceives the right to exist in the land that was a historical Palestine. And Israel sees it as Greater Israel unified from the [Jordan] river to the [Mediterranean] sea. Several Israeli politicians and leaders are openly talking about the fact that Greater Israel should include parts of Iraq, Lebanon, Jordan and Saudi Arabia. I mean, it's unconscionable what we are sort of letting Israel get away with [this]. But again, there is an ideology that envisages the right to exist in this land for the Jewish people only.

1:47 PM EDT SATURDAY -- Following Lebanon, Israel's ground invasion of Syria has begun! Israeli special forces have broken through the Syrian border from the Golan Heights towards the village of Qadana in armored vehicles. The initial assault began about an hour and a half ago and has reportedly advanced at least 500 meters into Syrian territory. This is a rapidly developing story, check back for updates.

The French leader has accused the IDF of “deliberately” targeting UN peacekeepers | French President Emmanuel Macron has reiterated his call for an arms embargo on Israel in response to the conflicts in Gaza and Lebanon. He also condemned recent attacks on United Nations peacekeepers in southern Lebanon, describing them as “totally unacceptable.” ● Two Sri Lankan peacekeepers with the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) were injured this week after a Merkava tank fired at a watchtower at the force’s headquarters in the border town of Naqoura. Israel claims its forces fired at an immediate threat, but Macron insists that the strike was “deliberate,” echoing the view of the force’s spokesperson, who spoke to RT.

■ Why Macron wants off the Israel bandwagon (Rachel Marsden) | French President Emmanuel Macron would like Israel to slow its roll now, please.

Because that’s the thing with spoiled brats – the day you say “No,” you, too, become a problem. ■ All this is happening now because Israel has crossed a red line for France in subjecting Lebanon to what the Western establishment would be blatantly calling an “invasion,” if Lebanon were Ukraine and Israel were Russia. French is spoken by about half of the Lebanese population and France considers the country to be within its sphere of influence, both linguistic and economic.
