For all of you who can only think of #Beirut’s southern suburbs as “the stronghold of Hizbollah”, watch the food blogger Abdallah Sabra’s video on the street food and the fine people of الضاحية الجنوبية before Israel’s current onslaught: https://youtu.be/bIEytaOKlUQ. Afterwards read Lara Dib and Mona Harb’s excellent “Leisurely Islam” on the area’s entertainment venues. Check it out from your local library or go to Library Genesis if you must use a shadow library.

#Hezbollah on Saturday confirmed the death of Hassan #Nasrallah, its longtime leader, in an airstrike on the organization’s underground headquarters near #Beirut, hours after #Israel said he had been killed.

Israeli forces had launched a series of airstrikes in the Hezbollah-dominated area known as the #Dahiya that it said were intended to destroy Hezbollah weapons caches.

#Netherlands War in Gaza According to a confidential memo from the Dutch Defense Attaché in Tel Aviv, the Israeli army has "the intent to deliberately inflict enormous destruction on infrastructure and civilian centers" in #gaza. This strategy explains the "high number of deaths" among the civilian population.

[...] The memo was prepared by the Defense Attaché at the embassy, who closely monitors the situation around Gaza with a military team. According to the report, the Israeli political and military leadership has no clear strategy and the Israeli desire to definitively settle accounts with Hamas is "a military goal that is virtually impossible to achieve".

[...] The findings in the confidential report are in stark contrast to public statements made by the Israeli army in recent weeks, claiming to do everything possible to prevent Palestinian civilian casualties. According to the Hamas-controlled Palestinian Ministry of Health, more than 11,000 people have already been killed in Gaza since the start of the war. This weekend, Israel received heavy international criticism over the air and ground attacks around Al-Shifa Hospital.

[...] The memo shows that the Netherlands knows that Israel deliberately opts for a ruthless military approach that leads to large numbers of civilian casualties. Still, the Israeli actions are not publicly condemned by Rutte and outgoing Minister of Foreign Affairs Hanke Bruins Slot (CDA).

[...] The IDF, the embassy writes, tries to minimize its own casualties ("zero risk") in the ground offensive as much as possible and therefore uses lethal force ("shoot to kill") sooner. In addition, the embassy sees that the IDF is applying "elements" of the so-called #Dahiya doctrine. This strategy, first applied in the 2006 Lebanon War, has "the intent to deliberately inflict enormous destruction on infrastructure and civilian centers," accepting large numbers of civilian casualties. The deliberate destruction of civilian targets is contrary to the laws of war, the memo states.

[...] Even if Hamas is almost completely neutralized, the fundamentalist movement's ideology will live on, the memo states. “There is no military answer to this, it is a political issue.”

[...] D66 leader and outgoing Minister for Climate and Energy Rob Jetten said on Sunday in Buitenhof that he believes Rutte should now call for a ceasefire, but D66 seems to stand alone in this within the outgoing cabinet.
