Israeli artillery shelling and a drone strike reported targeting Nabatieh al-Fawqa, specifically near Dar al-Moualameen, a public educational institution and training center run by the Lebanese Ministry of Education.

Israel continues to occupy parts of southern Lebanon, actively targeting forcibly displaced residents attempting to return home, including those making the journey on foot. Yesterday, Israeli forces opened fire on a group of men traveling toward the village of Majdal Zoun, a community heavily targeted by Israeli airstrikes and drone strikes over recent weeks. The attack resulted in the death of Hussein Abdul Hassan al-Dor.

The escalating situation on the ground, coupled with public declarations from Israeli authorities of their intent to maintain a military presence, clearly indicates Israel's desire to secure a permanent foothold in the region and return to the conditions established prior to March 2 where they would have free reign to target and kill whomever they choose.

This is a position the Lebanese Resistance has rejected outright. Overnight, Hezbollah launched targeted operations against advancing Israeli forces in southern Lebanon, successfully forcing their retreat.

I'd be very curious what they actually said to dispatch (they should've said nothing to police). And if it shines poorly on the caller, you can bet LAPD are going to publish it quickly to try to divert as much blame from themselves as possible.

Policing is inherently, systemically, racist.

"For too long, the testimonies of people claiming to have been victims of racial profiling, discrimination or differential treatment, and violence have been minimized, questioned, or ignored."

Israel poses a systematic threat to international peace and security:

The U.N was founded to do one thing above all: to maintain international peace and security and to suppress "acts of aggression or other breaches of the peace" (Article 1). When a single state repeatedly endangers that peace, the Charter does not leave the rest of the world as spectators.

Begin with the uncontested facts. Since the November 2024 cessation of hostilities, Lebanese authorities and ceasefire monitors have documented thousands of Israeli violations, including air strikes, incursions, and killings on sovereign Lebanese soil. The truce of April 2026 did not end them. As recently as this month, Israeli aircraft struck Beirut's southern suburbs while a fragile diplomatic process hung in the balance.

Each such strike on the territory of a UN member state is, prima facie, a use of force against that state's "territorial integrity", which is the precise conduct prohibited by Article 2(4) of the Charter. That prohibition is the cornerstone of the entire post-1945 legal order, and the International Court of Justice has affirmed it as customary law binding on all states.

Israel answers with Article 51. But Article 51 is a narrow exception, not a standing license. It requires an actual armed attack, necessity, immediacy, and proportionality. A campaign of recurring, pre-emptive, and punitive strikes across an entire country's territory, sustained over many months and many hundreds of incidents, cannot be squeezed into the doctrine of self-defence without dissolving the doctrine itself.

Now add the pattern that should concern every serious observer of regional diplomacy. Time and again, escalation has arrived precisely at the moment dialogue between Tehran and Washington was bearing fruit. In June 2025, the sixth round of US–Iran talks in Muscat — talks both sides described as making progress — was cancelled within hours of a sweeping Israeli air offensive against Iran.

The sequence has repeated. As the United States and Iran moved this June toward an agreement to de-escalate and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, Israeli strikes on Lebanon intensified. Even the US President has publicly registered his frustration with the Israeli premier as talks neared conclusion.

One need not allege a single hidden hand to recognize a pattern with legal significance. International law does not only police discrete attacks; under Article 39 it empowers the determination of a "threat to the peace", which is a forward-looking, situational standard. A consistent practice of escalation that imperils diplomacy is exactly the kind of situation Article 39 was written to capture.

To this we must add the political dimension: a sustained, well-resourced effort to steer the world's most powerful state away from negotiation and toward confrontation with Iran. Lobbying is a normal feature of statecraft and is not unlawful in itself. But when its object and effect is to obstruct the peaceful settlement of an international dispute, it cuts directly against Articles 2(3) and 33, which oblige states to seek settlement of their disputes by peaceful means.

Aggregate these three strands — recurrent force against Lebanon, escalation timed to diplomatic openings, and a campaign to redirect a great power toward war — and the cumulative picture points to a conduct that endangers regional and global security. That is the definition of a "threat to the peace."

Here is the point that must not be lost. The danger lies not only in the conduct, but in how the world chooses to describe it. The prevailing reflex is to file these episodes under politics — "Israel is simply trying to derail the talks" — as though that were a shrewd but lawful manoeuvre.

That framing is a category error, and a consequential one. The Charter contains no exception permitting a state to use force, or to drive a region toward war, merely because it dislikes a diplomatic outcome. There is no lawful category called "derailing diplomacy by force." To treat it as ordinary statecraft is to launder an unlawful use of force into acceptable politics.

Characterization is not a semantic nicety. In international law it is the gateway. The words "threat to international peace and security" are the precise trigger to which Article 39 attaches the entire collective-security framework. How we name the conduct determines which rules apply and whether any apply at all. Misname it, and the law never engages.

Recognition carries hard legal consequences that mere disapproval does not. The prohibition on the use of force is a peremptory norm. A serious breach of it engages the law of state responsibility: the responsible state owes cessation and reparation, and, critically, every other state comes under a duty not to recognize the resulting situation as lawful and not to aid or assist in maintaining it.

That duty of non-recognition is the line between law and acquiescence.

There is, further, the question of accountability. Bombardment of the territory of another state sits among the enumerated acts in the General Assembly's Definition of Aggression (Resolution 3314, 1974). Conduct of that gravity is not captured by the vocabulary of "tactics" or "spoiling." Naming it correctly is the precondition for any accountability whatsoever.

So the imperative is, first and above all, one of recognition. Before any institution lifts a finger, the international community must refuse the comfortable misdescription. It must say plainly that a sustained pattern of force against Lebanon — timed to moments of diplomatic progress, and accompanied by efforts to push a great power toward war — is not a political inconvenience to be absorbed. It is a threat to international peace and security within the meaning of the Charter, with all the legal consequences that phrase carries.
