After exploding #pagers and #walkieTalkies, #Lebanon is on edge over #phones: 'We don’t know if our phones are safe'

In Lebanon, no electronic equipment is now considered safe. "Everyone is just panicking… We don’t know if we can stay next to our laptops, our phones. Everything seems like a danger at this point, and no one knows what to do,” one said.

This is like the "bloody horse head on the bed" scene from #TheGodfather, but on all beds.

Israeli Defense Minister Yoav #Gallant said that with #Hamas neutralized in #Gaza, “the center of gravity is shifting to the north” towards #Lebanon.

The device explosions were attempts to target as many #Hezbollah members as possible all at once.That was #Israel's way of warning #Lebanon that an all-out war is coming.

“You don’t do something like that, hit 1000s of people, and think war is not coming,” said retired Israeli Brig. Gen. Amir Avivi

>> I accept Israel exists

Are you #Palestinian and do you have support of the majority of #Palestinians on the above issue?

If not, then your voice in this respect does not matter.

It is up to Palestinians to take control of their own destiny instead of letting #Hamas fight #inTheirName

See hashtags #PermanentStateOfWar and #inTheirName if you want to see what Palestinians have done to themselves.

>> War of words as #Erdogan says #Turkey could intervene in #Israel’s war on #Gaza. Turkey is again comparing #Netanyahu to #Hitler

Discordant voices mysteriously blend into coherence as #Vance compares #Trump to Hitler, Netanyahu looks to Trump for tools to #finishTheJob quickly, and Trump looks to Netanyahu to continue #ElectionInterference in #elelction2024 by extending the #permanentStateOfWar in the #MiddleEast 😂

>> #Bibi has to continually expand the scope & intensity of the war to stay out of jail

And to influence the outcome of #US #Election2024

He and the rest of #Iran's #AxisOfResistance just have to keep #permanentStateOfWar alive in #MiddleEast for another 99 days.

#Netanyahu wants nothing more than a #convictedFelon like #Trump who will not only help keep Bibi out of prison but also give him tools to #finishTheJob quickly — a #dogWhistle to kill Palestinians

#Graft inquiry warns #Netanyahu of possible harm from its conclusions

An #Israeli state investigation into an alleged graft scandal involving a $2 billion purchase of submarines and other warships from #Germany’s #Thyssenkrupp said Monday it has sent a letter to Netanyahu warning him that he could be harmed by its conclusions.

Netanyahu is also on trial for #corruption in three other separate cases.

No wonder Netanyahu wants to keep the #permanentStateOfWar going.

⬆️ #Netanyahu says #Israel is winding down its #Gaza operations . But he warns a #Lebanon war could be next.

Netanyahu also said there is no end in sight for the war in Gaza.

He said that while the army is close to completing its current ground offensive in #Rafah, that would not mean the war against #Hamas is over. But he said fewer troops would be needed in Gaza, freeing up forces to battle #Hezbollah.

#Hezbollah has said it will not stop until there is a #ceaseFire in #Gaza.

#Netanyahu has said there will not be a cease-fire until #Hamas has been decimated and Israel has re-occupied all of Gaza.

#Hamas continues to hold hostages it shouldn’t have taken in 1st place

#Iran continues to laugh at the #Hamas-#Hezbollah pincer from its #AxisOfResistance.

⬆️ >> Unless Hamas is COMPLETELY demilitarized, how is “permanent” #ceaseFire acceptable?

THIS is why #Netanyahu is waiting for #Biden to lose #Election2024

He knows he will get a clear signal from #Trump to “quickly do things that have to be done,” as Henry #Kissinger once told #Argentina’s foreign minister in 1976

#permanentStateOfWar in #MiddleEast will continue until US elections are over & 50,000 are dead.

Then it'll miraculously conclude once #Trump is reelected

Some even in the govt coalition have made it clear they want to #occupy #Gaza, they want to keep fighting for years, and #hostages are not a priority to them“

This is not at ALL surprising given this classic gem from NYTimes which reported that “in the bloody arithmetic of #Hamas leaders, the #carnage is not the #regrettableOutcome of a big miscalculation… [but] the #necessaryCost of a #greatAccomplishment [sic]”

#Israel hits weapons sites & #Iranian-linked commanders in #Syria, ahead of a threatened full-scale assault on #Iran's ally #Hezbollah in #Lebanon

In April Israel bombed the Iranian consulate in Syria, killing a top #IRGC commander. In retaliation, Iran fired ~300 missiles & drones, almost all of which Israel shot down

Israel then attacked Iran with drones.
That direct confrontation, a first for the two countries, stopped there.
