Israeli air attacks target southern Lebanon

Over the recent hours, several Israeli air raids targeted the hills overlooking Naqoura. Simultaneously, Hezbollah carried out attacks in the morning with no reported casualties. Israel aims to push Hezbollah beyond the Litani River, approximately 20km from the border, focusing the conflict in that area. Seizing this opportunity, Israel is striking Hezbollah’s infrastructure developed since the 2006 war. Concurrently, Hezbollah strives to target Israeli intelligence apparatus on the border, including communication devices, cameras, and infantry. Al Jazeera’s Ali Hashem is monitoring the latest in Naqoura in Southern Lebanon.

‘Israel preferring the war over releasing the hostages’: Analyst

Gideon Levy, a columnist for Israeli Haaretz newspaper, says the rise in Israeli soldiers’ death toll in Gaza has not made much of an impact on Israeli public opinion, the majority of which support continuing the war. “Thirteen soldiers [killed] is a hell of a price for Israel but 600 people in Gaza were killed this weekend,” Levy told Al Jazeera. Israeli army says 152 Israeli soldiers have so far been killed since the ground assault in Gaza began on October 27. Levy said he is “quite surprised” that pressure on Netanyahu has been “limited” so far. “There is pressure concerning only one issue – releasing the hostages. Everything else […]

UNSC resolution ‘greenlighting genocide’: Former UNRWA official

Chris Gunness says what’s unfolding in Gaza is “an American-Israeli genocide – it’s not just an Israeli genocide”. “Just as America provides Israel with $4bn of military support per annum, it’s also – as we’ve seen tonight – providing Israel with diplomatic and political cover to continue with a genocide which is marked by the wholesale and industrial ignoring of international humanitarian law,” Gunness told Al Jazeera. He added that Israeli statements following the passage of the Security Council resolution make it clear the country plans to retain control of what goes into Gaza. “It’s clear that [Israel] as it’s done in the past, [intends] to have a veto over […]

Israel-Hezbollah conflict intensifies, but largely confined to border area

Israel is stepping up its military operations – air attacks striking deeper into Lebanon. Overnight, it targeted a site in the Iqlim al-Tuffah region approximately 20km (12 miles) from the border, an area where Hezbollah has military assets. That could have been in response to Hezbollah firing surface-to-air missiles that exploded close to Israeli helicopters flying in Israeli air space close to the border. Both sides are sending messages to each other – a form of deterrence, “If you hit us, we are able to hit you.” The frequency of the attacks has increased, but it is still largely confined to the border area. Al Jazeera’s Zeina Khodr has the […]
