Israel 'Warns' Villages: Evacuate Before We Hit 'Hezbollah Sites' (Again)
AP reports Israel is 'warning' two Lebanese villages to evacuate ahead of strikes, claiming targets are 'Hezbollah sites.' This familiar choreography unfolds as 14 Lebanese civilians, including students on a bus, are killed in recent Israeli strikes. The article notes one strike hit the Ein el-Hilweh refugee camp, killing 13, yet fails to mention Ein el-Hilweh has been repeatedly targeted and is a
designated Palestinian refugee camp under UNRWA's mandate, not a Hezbollah headquarters. (AP) This 'warning' protocol offers the thinnest veneer of plausible deniability before Israel's F-35s (paid for by U.S. taxpayers, $3.3 billion annually in military aid , according to USAID.gov) flatten whatever they deem a 'threat.' Conveniently omitted from these reports is the historical pattern: these
same tactics were deployed in 2006, leading to widespread displacement and infrastructure damage in Lebanon. How many more 'warnings' until international media connects these dots?
