After Israel attacked Lebanon, from Beirut to South Lebanon, every single day and killed 500+ Lebanese men, woman and children in drone strikes that burned then alive

And attacked a Hezbullah leadership meeting in Beqaa before the Iranian war in one week

After the same person said: don't come to me asking to condemn every Israeli violation

❗️PM Nawaf Salam:

"I don't know if Israel would ever attack us. It's not my job to give them pretexts to attack us. It's like someone seeing a bear and saying, "Come here, come here, bear!"

❗️Lebanon's PM during a war against Israel, who is the Lebanese state's only official enemy - Nawaf Salam:

"A number of Hezbullah members were arrested. Some were carrying missiles, some were carrying something else, some were coming with rocket launchers. We didn't decide to enter the war, so it's natural they would be stopped."

U.S. troops may well take Kharg Island, only to endure ballistic-missile strikes, drone attacks, and petrochemical smoke, all without a reliable means of obtaining logistical support - The Atlantic

The operation would likely take longer than 15 days, which is about how long an expeditionary unit can operate without logistical support. Kharg is farβ€”140 milesβ€”from American assets in Kuwait City, but very close to Iran’s coast.

The United States could probably take Kharg Island relatively quickly. But holding it would be much more difficult and could turn deadly. Iran might order its forces to set the oil facilities there on fire, much as Saddam Hussein did with Kuwait’s oil fields in the Gulf War

❗️Israeli sources revealed that several Israeli soldiers were exposed to a carcinogenic substance inside a military facility in the central region, as a result of damage to the building caused by ongoing attacks by Hezbullah and Iran against various targets.

Israeli Army Radio writer Ofek Neuberger stated that the soldiers were exposed to asbestos for several days while performing their duties at the damaged facility.

In a tweet on the Army Radio X account, he added that the soldiers were forced to sort documents and guard the site near the toxic substance without proper protective equipment.

Even after the equipment was removed, the soldiers remained near the building for an additional period without adequate protection.

No official comment has been issued by the Israeli authorities, who maintain strict censorship and a broad blackout regarding their losses resulting from missiles and drones launched by Iran or Hezbullah.
