Israel Says Don't Rebuild, It's For Hezbollah, Not People
When engineer Tarek Mazraani campaigns for reconstruction in south Lebanon, Israeli drones don't just 'hover ominously'; they identify and harass him directly. While the ceasefire last November supposedly ended over a year of fighting, Israel's 'near-daily strikes' now target bulldozers, excavators, and pre-fabricated homes, claiming they're 'part of efforts to restore Hezbollah infrastructure.'
(Because a home is clearly an F-16.) This isn't an isolated incident; it's a pattern. The playbook of destroying civilian infrastructure and then preventing its repair has been used repeatedly in Gaza, and Lebanon before, ensuring perpetual instability. One might wonder if the real 'infrastructure' being dismantled is the very idea of a functioning, sovereign state that isn't under constant
threat. How many times can a nation be 'reconstructed' before it’s simply 're-destroyed'? For some, apparently, indefinite.
