The situation in both Lebanon and Israel is moving quickly, so let's bring you up to speed on what's been happening:

  • Israel has carried out a "targeted strike" in Lebanon’s capital, Beirut, the IDF says

  • Lebanon's health ministry says eight have been killed and 59 injured in the air strike on the suburb of Dahieh in southern Beirut - one of Hezbollah's strongholds in the Lebanese capital

  • The target of the attack was senior Hezbollah commander Ibrahim Aqil, who has reportedly been killed by the air strike

  • The IDF also says that the Iran-backed group fired 140 rockets at northern Israel from Lebanon, adding that its air defences intercepted "some" of the launches

  • Hezbollah said earlier this afternoon that its attacks targeted Israeli army sites in northern Israel

  • This all follows the explosions of pagers and walkie-talkies on Tuesday and Wednesday across Lebanon, which killed at least 32 people and injured thousands

Israel will not relent until they get the all-out war that they're so desperately chasing

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
