The Israeli army continued its widespread bombing campaign throughout Lebanon last weekend as its invading force claimed to reach the deepest it has been inside its neighbor to the north—all while the Biden administration has been working on a ceasefire.
Human Rights Watch issued a damning report last week that accused the Israeli government of carrying out war crimes and ethnic cleansing in Gaza as much of the enclave is uninhabitable after 13 months of bombings.
Just over a year since the IDF started its massive bombing campaign in northern Gaza, the Israeli military has resumed its operations in the region that have included some of Israel’s “most devastating attacks yet,” according to The New York Times.
The death toll in Israel’s offensive in Lebanon hit 3,287 on Tuesday, with an additional 14,222 people being injured in Israeli airstrikes and raids across the country.
The IDF killed at least 43,665 in Gaza and injured 103,076 since its genocide began last year. At least 11,000 people are missing. About 70 percent of the victims have been women and children, according to the UN.
On one side of the Israel War equation, Donald Trump’s victory in the U.S. will be a serious blow to Israel’s security and will be proven a disaster for Palestinians in the region, according to a Middle East scholar.
Israel’s vote last month to ban UNRWA from any of its territory put the lives of Palestinians suffering in Gaza in “unchartered territory” because the agency’s humanitarian work has been called “indispensable.”
Donald Trump offered Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., Nikki Haley’s old seat as the U.S. ambassador to the UN, dashing earlier hopes that he may avoid inviting neocons into his administration.
Each year, the United States government gives Israel nearly $4 billion of taxpayer money. Despite the Israeli genocide in Gaza, its bombing Lebanon into ruin, and its effort to pull the U.S. into a wider war in the region that would include Iran, Israel was able to sign a $5.2 billion contract with Boeing to receive 25 more F-15 fighter jets—all on the American taxpayers’ dime.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu seems to be intent on clearing northern Gaza to take control of the region as it grows clearer that the IDF has no plans to allow these Palestinians to return to their homes.
