#Israel ‘s goal is not to just weaken Hezbollah but to apply the Dahieh doctrine to the entirety of #Lebanon. Effectively this means rendering all of Lebanon unliveable.
You can bookmark this if you want. I promise you this is the goal.

#UNIFIL: “Earlier today, an IDF bulldozer deliberately demolished an observation tower and perimeter fence of a UN position in Marwahin.” #Lebanon
So this is how things are now. #Israel attacks the UN and all the UN can do is tell them pls don’t.
A perfect embodiment of international law.

#Israel continues to demolish entire towns and villages in southern #Lebanon. Literally entire towns and villages. They’re detonating entire worlds to pieces. Some of these areas are ancient.

Every single day, with no exceptions, the IDF issues multiple evacuation orders to Lebanese towns and villages in South Lebanon, East Lebanon and Dahieh.
Israel is so confident it will get away with everything it can simply announce their routine violations of international law. The paper trail is massive.
In a world where international rules matter prosecuting Netanyahu would be even easier than prosecuting Eichmann.

We’re already at nearly 2,000 killed by #Israel in #Lebanon including 127 children (Reuters/Health Ministry).

#Israel has made UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres persona non grata. Completely normal stuff

“UNICEF: situation in #Lebanon has moved from crisis to catastrophe”
It’s been 10 days. The perks of having #Israel as your southern neighbour.
