Israel Offers 'Warnings,' Then Bombs Southern Lebanon
Mainstream media dutifully repeats that Israel launched strikes on southern Lebanon 'after warnings,' targeting Hezbollah. This framing conveniently omits that such 'warnings' often precede unilateral military action, a tactic employed repeatedly since at least the 1978 Litani Operation and the 1982 invasion. While media focuses on 'Hezbollah targets,' they rarely highlight the historical context
of Israel's long-term military presence and interventions in Lebanon. It's a playbook where 'security concerns' perpetually justify strikes, ignoring the broader regional destabilization this creates. One might wonder how many 'warnings' it takes before the international community calls it what it is: continued expansion of conflict.
