The forced expulsion of Ain Arab—where #Israeli soldiers went door to door, forcing residents from their homes at gunpoint—was a striking example of the Israeli military’s campaign to ethnically cleanse villages across southern #Lebanon. Human rights advocates and locals told Drop Site they hadn’t heard of a similar incident occurring in this latest phase of the war—the Israeli military typically bombs and shells areas to forcibly displace residents. Over 1.2 million people have been displaced in Lebanon since March 2, and many have no idea if or when they will be able to return to their homes.

'Stop Making Excuses,' Says Ramirez as Dem Colleagues Anonymously Grumble About Lebanon War Powers Vote

Rep. #DeliaRamirez called on her fellow #Democrats to “stop making excuses and act” to stop a war in #Lebanon, as many refuse to go on the record about whether they’ll support a war powers resolution that would halt #US #military participation in Israel’s escalating occupation of the country.

Axios reported on Wednesday that some Democrats are “fuming” about having to take a vote on a resolution introduced by Rep. #RashidaTlaib (D-Mich.), which would require the US to end unauthorized #military cooperation with #Israel in Lebanon within seven days of being passed. The resolution would need Republican support to pass the GOP-controlled House.

Mirroring Gaza, Israel is destroying towns and villages in southern #Lebanon

#Israel has been very public about the controlled demolitions its military has been carrying out in many of the 55 #Lebanese towns and villages it now occupies in the south. The #Israeli military has been publishing videos on social media and in releases to the press showing entire neighborhoods eviscerated in seconds, the concrete homes and shops erupting into clouds of dust at the push of a detonator.

Israel says it's destroying #Hezbollah infrastructure. And that the goal is to create what Israel calls a "buffer zone" along its border, in order to keep Hezbollah from attacking its northern residents.

But those demolitions — along with widespread Israeli airstrikes throughout the past two months — have also significantly destroyed civilian infrastructure.

According to the report on Wednesday, the #military is operating under a plan to demolish predominantly Shia villages in an effort they believe would prevent residents from returning.

As part of the campaign, troops are assigned designated zones to demolish, with commanders required to record the number of structures destroyed each day.

“The only mission is to continue the destruction,” one commander told #Haaretz. “There are no other tasks.”

Exclusive: Inside Hezbollah’s battle for Bint Jbeil and Khiam
The Lebanese towns hold both strategic and symbolic weight for Israel. Sources close to Hezbollah describe how the Israelis failed to hold them [😀]

For weeks, Israel bombarded Bint Jbeil and Khiam, repeatedly attempting to encircle the southern #Lebanese towns. Yet neither fully fell to #Israel’s invading military.

The survival of these #Hezbollah redoubts, which have long carried symbolic and strategic weight, exposed the limits of what #Israeli firepower is able to achieve in south #Lebanon, and the strategic power the terrain holds for its defenders.

Three sources close to Hezbollah, including one intimately familiar with the battles in the south, described to Middle East Eye how Israel was unable to dislodge the Lebanese armed movement.

Lebanese Journalist Amal Khalil Bombed and Left to Die by Israel
After Khalil was apparently targeted by #Israel, a commentator asserting a connection with the military said #journalists "affiliated with #Hezbollah" are "destined for death."

Prominent Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil was killed on Wednesday in what appeared to be a targeted attack by the Israeli military in the town of Tyre in southern #Lebanon. Her employer, Al-Akhbar, confirmed the death of their correspondent Wednesday evening.

The #RedCross was eventually able to return to the area after which Khalil was pronounced dead.

“The repeated strikes on the same location, the targeting of an area where journalists were sheltering, and the obstruction of medical and humanitarian access constitute a grave breach of international humanitarian law,” the CPJ Regional Director said in a statement.
