A year ago, Israeli ministers supported PM Netanyahu’s ostensible war aim to “eradicate” Hamas in Gaza, after the Palestinian group led an attack on southern Israel.
Under that pretext, Israel has killed more than 42,000 Palestinians in Gaza, uprooted nearly the entire population of 2.3 million people, destroyed all civilian infrastructure and generated conditions for mass famine.
Since stepping up its war against Lebanon in late September, Israel is now deploying similar tactics in southern Lebanon, according to civilians, analysts and rights groups.

Israel used US-made munition in Beirut deadly strike: Report
A US-made munition was used in an Israeli air strike in a highly densely populated area in Beirut on Thursday which killed at least 22 people, UK newspaper The Guardian has found. The strike in Beirut was the single deadliest attack on the capital since Hezbollah and Israel started trading fire more than a year ago.
The newspaper found remnants of a US-manufactured joint direct attack munition (JDAM) amid the debris of a building that was reduced to rubble.
According to the report, “JDAMS are guidance kits built by the US aerospace company Boeing that attach to large ‘dumb bombs’ ranging up to 2,000lbs (900kg), converting them into GPS-guided bombs”.
Richard Weir, a senior researcher with Human Rights Watch’s conflict and arms division and a former US military bomb technician, verified the weapons remnant.
“The bolt pattern, its position and the shape of the remnant are consistent with the tail fin of a US-made, JDAM, guidance kit for Mk80 series air-dropped munitions,” Weir was quoted as saying in the report.
