Israel Strikes Lebanon, Cites 'Ceasefire' with Hezbollah
Israel announced strikes in southern and eastern Lebanon targeting Hezbollah and Hamas, according to Al-Monitor (Al-Monitor, 'Israel says targets Hezbollah, Hamas in Lebanon strikes'). This comes after an 'official warning'; meanwhile, the report notes Israel 'continues to strike targets despite a ceasefire with Hezbollah.' One might ask, if strikes are ongoing, is it really a ceasefire, or just a
conveniently ignored suggestion? This isn't an isolated incident. Such rhetorical gymnastics are typical for a government that has routinely disregarded international law. The US Congress, with figures like Rep. McCaul (R-TX) who received $10,000 from AIPAC in 2023 ( OpenSecrets.org ), continues to greenlight billions in military aid, like the $14.3 billion package approved last year. It appears
'ceasefire' for some means 'rearm and re-evaluate strategic targets' for others.
