Hezbollah warns Israelis to stay away from army in residential areas
Hezbollah has warned Israelis to stay away from Israeli army sites in residential areas in the north of the country, accusing it of operating in civilian areas.
“The Israeli enemy army uses the homes of [Israeli] settlers in some settlements [towns and cities]” in north Israel and has military bases “inside settlement neighbourhoods in major occupied cities such as Haifa, Tiberias, Acre,” it said in a statement in Arabic and Hebrew.
“We warn the settlers from being near these military gatherings in order to preserve their lives.”
This is similar to the rhetoric used by Israel in the near-nightly evacuation orders it issues on areas of Lebanon’s capital, Beirut, in which it tells civilians that Hezbollah uses them as human shields.
Air raid sirens in Tel Aviv as drones from Lebanon spark alarm
Air raid sirens blared throughout the Tel Aviv area as drones launched from Lebanon made their way towards central Israel. That’s according to Israel’s army.
There were very dramatic videos that showed residents who were concerned as they saw these drones, one drone in particular, cross overhead, and there are questions still about what exactly hit a building in a suburb of Tel Aviv called Herzliya.
There is a video showing that the building was hit, but there were conflicting reports in various Israeli media outlets as to what exactly caused that damage.
Some suggested that perhaps it was one of the drones, others that it was fragments of those drones after being intercepted by Israel’s air defence systems. Other reports still wondered if perhaps that damage might have been caused by an Israeli interceptor missile that had tried to intercept that drone as it was over Herzliya.
This is something that’s going to be causing a lot of concern. The Israeli army has said that the incident is under investigation, so we expect to hear more from the Israeli army as to how exactly these drones got there at a time of heightened concern.
We’ve heard these past few days of more rockets being launched from Lebanon towards either central or northern Israel – something that’s going to make Israelis question just perhaps how vulnerable they are at this particular time.
History repeating, except the US doesn't want to stop it this time
Israel’s forgotten terror

The International Criminal Court’s (ICJ) January finding of a “plausible genocide” in Gaza and subsequent ruling that Israel is responsible for an apartheid system in the West Bank and East Jerusalem would not have surprised former Presidents Truman, Eisenhower, Johnson, Carter, or indeed Reagan, who famously denounced Israel’s 1982 levelling of West Beirut to Prime Minister Menachem Begin as a “holocaust”.
Israel is the only US ally that has been exercising such oppression and terror for a lifetime.
For many years, consecutive American administrations, both Democratic and Republican, condemned Israel’s recurring practice of terror.
Today, however, the Biden-Harris administration has been supporting these practices to the extreme.
