BEIRUT, June 8 (Reuters) - Israel has carried out nearly 3,500 air strikes on Lebanon and hundreds of controlled explosions since the U.S. announced a ceasefire for the country on April 16, Lebanon's defence minister, Michel Menassa, said on Monday.
The U.S.-brokered ceasefire came into effect just after midnight on April 17, with Israeli troops still positioned deep inside southern Lebanon. While it has largely halted air strikes on Beirut and its suburbs, the truce has failed to halt fighting in southern Lebanon between Israel and Iran-backed armed group Hezbollah.
During a cabinet meeting, Menassa said that from April 17 to June 7, Israel had carried out 3,491 air strikes, 407 controlled demolitions and six "razing" operations, or demolitions - which have left some entire villages in the southernmost strip of Lebanon entirely flattened. The statistics were later published on X by the office of Lebanon's Prime Minister Nawaf Salam.
The Israeli military did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Salam said the latest escalation between Iran and Israel had caused additional waves of displacement, straining Lebanon's ability to host fleeing families.
Already, more than 1 million people - a fifth of Lebanon's population - have been displaced by Israel's strikes and evacuation warnings across Lebanon since the war erupted on March 2.
The latest conflict broke out when Hezbollah fired rockets on Israel in support of its ally Iran, which was being struck by Israel and the United States.
Hezbollah has continued firing at Israel and has rejected U.S.-mediated talks between Lebanese and Israeli officials aimed at bolstering the ceasefire with a lasting agreement.
On Sunday, Israel struck Beirut's southern suburbs in retaliation for Hezbollah fire on northern Israel. In response, Tehran bombed northern Israel, which has fired back on various locations in Iran.
U.S. President Donald Trump said last week that ceasefires in the Middle East involved "shooting in a more moderate manner", rather than a total halt in fighting.
Maybe the Jaffa Jews, originally from Yemen, can get Right of Return to Sanaa and Reclaim their Great Grandfather's Camel Trading Business, if the Hooters will Allow.
ReplyDeletemfer, what happened to yr MOVE ON fart?
DeleteTak pakai ni!
Falastinos should have MOVED ON after being Kicked out of Kuwait (following Iraq War) and lived peacefully in Jordan, the country welcomed them.
ReplyDeleteNot Caused Trouble in Jordan and Get Kicked out (again) to Lebanon.
Jordan = Palestine.
(Already 77% of the British Mandate)
King Hussein and Prince El Hassan both said
Jordan = Palestine.
King Hussein married a Palestinian. He wedded his third wife, Queen Alia (born Alia Baha Eddin Toukan), in 1972. She hailed from a prominent Palestinian family from Nablus in the West Bank and served as Queen of Jordan until her tragic death in a helicopter crash in 1977.

mfer, unfortunately for yr fart, there r still thousands of native Palestinian staying put in their ORIGINAL native land of birth.

Sedikit Sejarah....
ReplyDeleteThe Rashidun Caliphate’s Arab Muslim armies invaded and conquered the Levant from the Byzantine Empire between 634 and 638 CE.
Jerusalem surrendered to Caliph Umar in 637-638.
Back then the region was part of the Christian Byzantine Empire, with a mostly Christian population plus significant Jewish, Samaritan, and other communities.
After the conquest, Arabs built the Al-Aqsa Mosque right on top of the Second Jewish Temple.
So yeah… you guys are the colonizers.
Imagine if Some Invader Colonized Your Most Holy of Holies and Built their Tokong On Top.
still wetting yr mfering grandmother's fairytale of fart!
DeleteA question, what religions were this native of Levant practiced before the arrival of the Abrahamic faith?
What do u termed about family blood feuds?
Automatic weapons are all over Gaza as Palestinian Arabs, including children, regular fire them for excitement, with little children watching.
ReplyDeleteBullets that go up must come down. They ricochet off buildings & off the ground. And Israel gets blamed for injured or killed children.
