I’m unsure of the exact number killed and wounded in the first day of explosions however… Day 2- at least 14 killed and more than 450 injured
I suspect the number of dead will increase.
More empty words from the White House
The White House on Wednesday warned all sides against escalation in the Middle East after two days of blasts in Lebanon, which are widely attributed to Israel, involving hand-held devices targeting Hezbollah.
“We still don’t want to see an escalation of any kind. We don’t believe that additional military operations are the way to resolve this crisis,” National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told reporters.
Israeli official alludes to Israel’s involvement
The religious allusions and justification are front and centre of everything Israel does- I mean, allegedly, God gave them the land? As well as the usual chosen, by God, claim.
Israeli Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi hinted at Israel’s responsibility for recent explosions of wireless communication devices in Lebanon, which resulted in 26 deaths and more than 3,250 injuries.
Karhi, a member of the Likud party led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, suggested Israel’s involvement in the blasts that occurred Tuesday and Wednesday, according to the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper.
The newspaper reported that Karhi referenced a passage from the Torah on social media, which seemed to allude to responsibility for the explosions.
The verse posted by Karhi on X reads: “Desolation, emptiness, ruin and the heart melts and the knees bow and the blood flows in every way.”
The verse is from the book of Nahum, believed to have been written between 663 and 612 BCE, and discusses the prophecy of the fall of the Assyrian Empire during the Babylonian exile.
Karhi’s post sparked mockery and criticism among Israelis on X, with some labeling the minister as “foolish.”
“Thank you to the minister for taking official responsibility,” said one user, while another asked, “A government minister suggesting we are responsible?”
Israel moves 98th elite brigade from Gaza to Lebanese front
“With peak readiness on the northern front, the Israeli army decided to move the elite 98th brigade there,” according to Israeli Army Radio. “The brigade was originally scheduled to continue fighting in Gaza, but it was decided in recent days to transfer it north.”
Some 124 members voted in favor, with 14 voting against and dozens abstaining.
The vote’s passage, The Economist argued, signaled the US’s ”weakening clout” over the UN, even as it remains its biggest financial contributor.
Israel has wanted a wider war all along and they’ve done everything they can to create the conditions for it to happen.
An observation shared on twitter, which may get me censored.
It really struck me as I did this post and read any number of articles how the fanaticism of Israeli citizens (not all of course) it’s leadership and Zionist Christians here in the democratic west has been normalized in our so called modern society, particularly western ones.
