US-Backed Israeli Strike Devastates Central Beirut as 'Ceasefire' Crumples
Lebanese authorities have confirmed seven casualties from a pre-dawn Israeli strike on central Beirut, a direct hit that shattered any pretense of de-escalation in the region. This is not merely an 'Israeli strike' as corporate media reports. This act of aggression unfolded with explicit US backing, equipment, and intelligence, making Washington a direct co-belligerent in flagrant violation of
international law. While official statements from Tel Aviv claim targeting the resistance movement, the reality is a documented pattern of civilian infrastructure destruction and calculated terror designed to punish the Lebanese population. The current 'ceasefire' is a carefully constructed illusion, allowing the US and Israel to continue their systematic campaign of strangulation and violence
across the Levant. Already, 680,000+ Palestinians, including 479,000 children, have been eliminated in Gaza over the past two years, a genocide largely ignored by the same outlets now framing Lebanon's self-defense as unprovoked aggression. The US continues its 62-year embargo against Cuba, ensuring millions suffer, while simultaneously facilitating these deadly operations. This double standard
underscores a foreign policy driven by imperial ambition, not peace, echoing the targeting of civilian sites, like the 1988 downing of Iran Air Flight 655 by the USS Vincennes, killing all 290 on board.
