Israel Resumes Pounding Beirut Suburb After Relative Quiet<\/span><\/p>\n

For the third time in the past month<\/strong>, Israel has carried out an airstrike against the Lebanese capital city of Beirut. This latest strike targeted the Hadath neighborhood, a southern suburb of Beirut. They issued a warning\u00a0telling civilians to evacuate the neighborhood<\/a>\u00a0in advance of the attack.<\/p>\n

An explosion was reported in the\u00a0area around 6 pm local time<\/a>\u00a0on Sunday, and a plume of smoke was seen rising from the neighborhood. The exact details on what was hit and what casualties, if any, resulted are as yet unclear.<\/p>\n

Preliminary reports are that three bombs have hit the area, and it is believed that two different buildings were targeted, though exactly what they are is not entirely clear.<\/p>\n

Israel was quick to claim that the attack\u00a0targeted a Hezbollah weapons depot<\/a>, and that it housed \u201chigh-quality weapons<\/a>.\u201d They reported informed the US in advance of the attack. Evidence of this claim of a missile depot was not offered.<\/p>\n

Israeli media quoted unnamed defense officials as saying this must have been an\u00a0unusual and dangerous threat<\/a>\u00a0because otherwise Israel would not have attacked in such a way. Israel launches multiple attacks on Lebanon effectively every day, and almost always under the pretext of targeting Hezbollah.<\/p>\n

Indeed, Beirut wasn\u2019t the only strike of Sunday. Earlier in the day, an Israeli drone attacked a farm near the southern village of Halta<\/strong>,\u00a0killing one civilian<\/a>. Here again, the official Israeli narrative was that this civilian was a \u201cHezbollah operative<\/a>\u201d who was actively rearming Hezbollah at the time they attacked the farm.<\/p>\n

Israel is facing growing criticism for its\u00a0indiscriminate attacks on Lebanon<\/a>, which often inflict civilian casualties. Israel only comments on some of the deadly attacks carried out on Lebanon in a given day, and almost always claimed Hezbollah figures were the target, but the evidence simply isn\u2019t there that they\u2019re hitting Hezbollah in any reliable way, and as tensions continue to grow along the border, the Lebanese government is\u00a0pushing France and the US, the guarantors of the ceasefire<\/a>\u00a0Israel is constantly violating, to do something about it.<\/p>\n

The UN Special Coordinator for Lebanon issued a statement warning the strikes in Beirut were causing panic, though as of yet neither the US nor France has commented on the latest strike.\u00a0France has tended to be more willing to criticize<\/a>\u00a0Israeli aggression, while the US has tended to endorse such attacks<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
