Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

If you've been paying attention to Israel's bombardment of Gaza, you know that Israel hasn't earned any significant military wins against the Palestinian resistance. It's honestly been humiliating for them, on top of the humiliation of Oct 7th. Israel has been overcompensating by obliterating Gazan lineages and planting Israeli flags into flattened blocks, but the IOF keeps getting beaten by the guerilla warfare of the resistance.
Now, likely in an attempt to achieve SOME kind of military win, Israel has allegedly bombed a top Hamas leader in Beirut. Beirut is the capital of Lebanon, located in central Lebanon. This is a MAJOR escalation, both territorially and also symbolically.
Note that the entire time Israel has been genociding Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, the zionist entity has also been bombarding southern Lebanon, killing civilians, journalists, and attacking medical centers there, to which Hezbollah has responded, but in a restrained fashion. That restraint will likely ebb considerably now.
