Israeli aggression does not stop at borders
There was a huge difference between the statements made by the Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, the deceitful one who speaks lies and nonsense, when he said from the podium of the United Nations General Assembly that Israel seeks peace and will continue to achieve it, and what is happening on the ground of the brutal and sinful aggression that Lebanon is being subjected to and the ongoing war on the Gaza Strip.
The Israeli aggression knows no bounds, and knows nothing but brutality and random killing. Despite the fact that a large number of delegations left the UN hall where Netanyahu delivered his speech in disapproval, denunciation and protest against Israel’s unjust practices against the Palestinians and Lebanese everywhere, this is not enough. It is time for Netanyahu to be arrested as a war criminal and for the International Criminal Court’s decisions to be implemented on the ground, instead of allowing him to ascend the UN platform to spread poison and games.
The United States, as usual, has opened its corridors and hotels to Netanyahu, and has put all means of technology at his disposal. Yesterday evening, he was seen giving the decision to carry out the targeting operation of an entire residential block in the southern suburb of Beirut, in a clear indication of the United States’ partnership in the aggression, and its complete coordination with the Israeli entity to continue the war on our Palestinian people and their Lebanese brothers.
Yesterday, Israel committed a new massacre against Lebanese civilians, adding to the series of previous massacres. Israel is trying to pass off a narrative and hypothesis that the target of the raids that destroyed the entire residential block, as a result of bombs and shells weighing thousands of tons, accompanied by concussion missiles, is Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, Secretary General of Hezbollah, so that this crime will pass like dozens, even hundreds of other crimes and massacres without punishment from the international community, which is silent like a mute devil about the crimes of the occupation against children and women, which are crimes that rise to the level of war.
The Israeli attack on the southern suburb of Beirut proves that Israel does not care about international calls for a ceasefire, and that it will continue the aggression and may escalate its pace to another advanced stage, perhaps reaching preemptive strikes larger in size than what we have seen, and in deeper and wider targets towards the Lebanese center, in preparation for a possible ground invasion, while continuing to commit massacres that claim the lives of hundreds of innocent Lebanese.
Despite Israeli estimates that the attack was successful, awaiting confirmation of the assassination of Nasrallah and the party’s senior leaders who met underground, Hezbollah is maintaining silence regarding what happened, regardless of the results of this Israeli bombing and targeting. In addition to being considered a new violation of all red lines, it cannot be ignored that the security breach of Hezbollah’s sensitive privacy has reached a very high level approaching the point of being considered a dangerous conspiracy committed against the party. Despite all of this, the rules of the game have changed and it is likely that Israel will await a stronger response. Hence, Netanyahu cut additional hours from his visit to the United States and decided to return to Israel. Will Hezbollah change the rules and equations of the battle, expand the scope of its bombing, intensify it and increase its pace, in response to the Israeli violations and aggression that has no limits, or will it continue to be careful not to drag Lebanon into a comprehensive and deadly war and will it be satisfied with its declared position and explicit decision to continue its role as a support front only for the resistance in the Gaza Strip?
Critical hours await us, and they will most likely bring more escalation.
