Gaza Laboratory, a testing ground for horrors.

Hard not to look away. Wrong to do so.

The US is bombing Iran’s civilian infrastructure.

The United States is a terrorist empire.

BREAKING:

Israel is burning the Berachit Nature Reserve in South Lebanon.

Not military targets.

Forests, wildlife, and protected land.

One’s of Lebanon’s natural treasures.

[sarah @sahouraxo]

Trump dropped bombs on a desalination plant in Iran’s Hormozgan province — cutting off water to 10,000 cilivians across 20 villages.

This is not a military target.

Trump is deliberately bombing critical infrastructure civilians need to stay alive.

True but it hasn't just begun. I documented them doing this in December 2024.

[Ethan Levins 🇺🇸 @EthanLevins2]

Israel has begun to STEAL olive trees in south Lebanon.

Typical trees last 100-150 years, but in Kawkaba and Deir Mimas, Lebanon some have survived 2,000+ years.

These HISTORIC trees are from the time of CHRIST, so Israel is destroying them.

[Rania Khalek @RaniaKhalek]

“The Lebanese elites who promote this submission to empire love to invoke sovereignty. They talk about Hezbollah as if it’s an alien force implanted by Iran, rather than an organic, indigenous and popular military formation born out of resistance to Israeli occupation in the 1980s.

For these elites, any resistance to Israel is a violation of Lebanon’s sovereignty, while taking orders from Washington and Tel Aviv against Lebanon’s own interests is considered normal, independent, even virtuous. Up is down, right is left.”

You should read this:

Israel and Hezbollah ongoing indirect negotiations: why?

Israel claims it has surrounded Ali al-Taher and that its forces remain in the area while merely respecting the ceasefire imposed by the United States. This is propaganda, and lie and not battlefield reality.

The only true part of the Israeli narrative is the American pressure. Washington intervened because the situation was spiralling beyond Israel’s control and because Netanyahu’s escalation threatened wider US interests.

Israel did not stop because it had achieved victory. It stopped because it was forced to stop.

The clearest evidence is not in Ali al-Taher but in Kfartebnit, around 3 kilometres (not 300 meters as Israel's propaganda is saying) away, where Hezbollah destroyed the last Merkava with four Israeli officers inside it. Among them was Lieutenant Colonel For Gedalia Ben Simhon, commander of the 52nd Armoured Battalion (The Breachers) of the 401st Brigade (Iron Tracks) , along with three crew members.

Their remains have still not been recovered because Israeli occupation forces cannot reach the destroyed tank. The bodies remain inside the burned Merkava, fused with the wreckage.

If Israel controlled the battlefield, it would not need American and French mediation to retrieve its dead. It would simply go and collect them.

Instead, Israel has been forced to ask intermediaries to negotiate access. Hezbollah has offered an exchange, otherwise no one will approach the burned Merkava. Negotiations are ongoing, and Hezbollah will reveal its conditions in due course.

This is the reality Israel wants to hide: an army claiming control cannot recover its own officers from a destroyed tank. An army claiming success does not need mediators to reach its dead. An army claiming to surround Ali al-Taher would not be bargaining under fire in Kfar Tebnit.

The ceasefire is not proof of Israeli strength. It is proof that Israel’s escalation hit a wall, that Hezbollah imposed limits on the battlefield, and that Washington had to intervene before Netanyahu dragged the region into a wider crisis.

للقراءة من كل بد 👇:

المفاوضات غير المباشرة المستمرة بين "إسرائيل" وحزب الله: لماذا؟
تزعم إسرائيل أنها طوّقت علي الطاهر وأن قواتها لا تزال في المنطقة بينما تلتزم فقط بوقف إطلاق النار الذي فرضته الولايات المتحدة. هذه الرواية بروباغندا وكذب، وليست هي الواقع على أرض المعركة.

الجزء الصحيح الوحيد في الرواية الإسرائيلية هو الضغط الأمريكي. لقد تدخلت واشنطن لأن الوضع كان يخرج عن نطاق سيطرة إسرائيل، ولأن تصعيد نتنياهو كان يهدد مصالح أمريكية أوسع.

لم تتوقف "إسرائيل" لأنها حققت النصر، بل توقفت لأنها أُجبرت على التوقف.

الدليل الأكثر وضوحاً ليس في #علي_الطاهر، بل في كفرتبنيت على بعد نحو 3 كيلومترات (وليس 300 متر كما تقول الدعاية الإسرائيلية)، حيث دمر حزب الله آخر دبابة ميركافا وكان بداخلها أربعة جنود إسرائيليين. ومن بين هؤلاء المقدم بن سيمخون، قائد الكتيبة المدرعة 52 (المقتحمون) التابعة للواء 401 (المسارات الحديدية)، إلى جانب ثلاثة من أفراد الطاقم.

ولا تزال أشلاؤهم في ارض المعركة لأن قوات الاحتلال الإسرائيلي لا تستطيع الوصول إلى الدبابة المدمرة. فالجثث ما زالت داخل الميركافا المحترقة، ملتحمة بالحطام.

لو كانت "إسرائيل" تسيطر على أرض المعركة، لما احتاجت إلى وساطة أمريكية وفرنسية لاستعادة قتلاها، ولكانت ببساطة ذهبت وجمعتهم.

بدلاً من ذلك، أُجبرت "إسرائيل" على الطلب من الوسطاء التفاوض للوصول إليهم. وقد عرض حزب الله عملية تبادل، وإلا فلن يقترب أحد من الميركافا المحترقة. المفاوضات مستمرة، وسيكشف حزب الله عن شروطه في الوقت المناسب.

هذا هو الواقع الذي تريد إسرائيل إخفاءه: جيش يزعم السيطرة لا يستطيع استعادة ضباطه من دبابة مدمرة.

جيش يزعم النجاح لا يحتاج إلى وسطاء للوصول إلى قتلاه. والجيش الذي يزعم محاصرة علي الطاهر لا يساوم تحت النار في كفرتبنيت.

إن وقف إطلاق النار ليس دليلاً على القوة الإسرائيلية، بل هو دليل على أن التصعيد الإسرا��يلي اصطدم بجدار، وأن #حزب_الله فرض حدوداً في الميدان، وأن واشنطن اضطرت للتدخل قبل أن يجر نتنياهو المنطقة إلى أزمة أوسع.

Israel massacred this entire family today in Harouf, South Lebanon.

Not combatants.

A father, a mother, and their 3 daughters.

[sarah @sahouraxo]

Israel killed Zahra and her entire family today in Sharqiyeh, South Lebanon.

They dropped a bomb on their home as they slept at night — massacring them instantly.

IMPORTANT:
A clarification on the reported U.S.-Iran agreement.

Earlier reports made it sound as though a final peace deal had already been reached & that Friday’s signing ceremony was largely a formality.

That is not what Iranian officials are now describing.

According to Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Gharibabadi, what has been finalized is a memorandum of understanding & framework for ending military operations, lifting the blockade & opening the way for further negotiations.

A formal signing is expected on Friday.

However, a further 60-day negotiating process would then follow, covering sanctions, the nuclear file, economic reconstruction, implementation mechanisms & verification of commitments.

Iranian officials also stress that entry into those negotiations is conditional on the United States first implementing its commitments regarding the end of the war, lifting the siege & releasing assets.

In short, this appears less like a final settlement & more like a framework designed to stop the fighting & create the conditions for a broader agreement.

The immediate question remains the same:

Can Trump deliver Israel?

Because if military operations are indeed meant to end on all fronts, including Lebanon, then Lebanon may provide the first real test of whether this understanding holds in practice.

A word of caution, however. We have heard talk of agreements, imminent agreements, understandings & breakthroughs before. Friday is still a long way away in military terms, & the road beyond it is longer still.

Much can happen between now & then. There are many stages yet to navigate & no shortage of actors capable of derailing the process.

Celebrations may be premature.

[George Galloway @georgegalloway]

Netanyahu has told Ma’ariv that Israel is not bound by the US-Iran deal and that he will not withdraw from Lebanon. Either Trump must order him to or the deal will be null and void. Which will it be?

What's happening in Gaza and Lebanon is a Holocaust.

[Nada Maucourant Atallah @MaucourantNada]

Reporting from the historic city of Tyre for @TheNationalNews. We saw clear damage at one of the archaeological sites, where wreckage was scattered among ancient Roman ruins and a column had been broken by an Israeli strike on Sunday. The attack targeted, and completely obliterated, a heritage house just a few metres away.
The area is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, which legally protects landmarks or areas legally because of their “outstanding value to humanity.”

[Rania Khalek @RaniaKhalek]

The Israelis are destroying ancient Roman ruins in the beautiful Lebanese coastal city of Tyre.

I know if they did this to the Colosseum, the world would express outrage and elites would do fundraisers and Israel might even be sanctioned bc that’s in what they consider Europe.

But in Lebanon, the Europeans shrug and keep supporting Israel because they’ve created a division of humanity where even the ancient Roman ruins aren’t equal.
