Hezbollah on Monday fired two projectiles toward Israeli-occupied territory, responding to repeated Israeli strikes that have hit Lebanon daily since Thursday, the day after the ceasefire came into force.

The projectiles landed in an open area and no one was injured, according to the Israeli military. It did not specify the type of projectile fired.

Hours later, Israel’s military said it began striking “Hezbollah terrorists, dozens of launchers, and terrorist infrastructure throughout Lebanon,” after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to retaliate, calling Hezbollah’s attack “a serious violation of the ceasefire.”

Lebanon "attacked" in response to Israel's attacks, and it fired warning shots into an open field. Then Israel started hitting targets.

Israel is the aggressor, as always.

There's always some chud who stumbles in from the wrong instance to say "No You!" whenever Israel commits a new war crime.

I'm looking forward to hearing how you're going to justify

One of Gaza’s most prominent doctors may have been raped to death, recent revelations show. He’s not the only one.

by insisting doctors in Gaza were raping to death Israelis first.

Dr Al-Bursh had become a fixture in the lives of many through the video diaries he posted before his arrest.

His videos showed him with his colleagues, digging mass graves in the al-Shifa yard to bury people because Israel would not let their bodies be taken to a cemetery, operating on the injured and the dying with little or no equipment, and waiting together for the Israeli assault on a hospital where thousands had sought safety.

The assault came in mid-November when, in scenes captured by Dr Al-Bursh, the Israeli army ordered al-Shifa, its patients, staff and approximately 50,000 displaced people sheltering in the compound to vacate.

Dr Al-Bursh made his way to the Indonesian Hospital in northern Gaza where he worked until that too came under fire in November and he moved to Al-Awda Hospital.

There he was arrested and entered a prison system that Israeli human rights organisation B’Tselem describes as “Hell”.

Israel often detains healthcare workers like Dr Al-Bursh, holding them in horrific conditions for “investigation”.

...

Four months later, Ofer Prison guards dragged Al-Bursh and dumped him in the prison yard, naked from the waist down, bleeding and unable to stand, according to a statement provided by Israeli human rights organisation, HaMoked.

Recognising him, some of the other prisoners carried Al-Bursh to a nearby room, and he died moments later.

I’ve learned to mentally prepare myself before reading comments and accept that some people will never fundamentally see me as a human being. And that’s fucked up but it’s something I need to understand to be able to explain the situation we’re in to those who are actually worth the time to convince.

Some people will look at photos of war destruction and maybe even feel sad about it. But it’ll never be their cities and communities, so they look at these photos and think it only happens to “those” countries. They’re countries “with war”, “probably because of terrorism”, essentially the “enlightened” understanding is that “these people are born to die from war”.

These people will never understand that the rubble they see on their screens was vibrant communities, places where people who watched the same TV shows and football matches as them lived. War victims aren’t a special type of human who exist only to suffer to make your news segments sad. I struggle to get across how normal these people are.

I think in part I used to be someone who thought this way. Lebanon isn’t Syria, Iraq, Palestine, it’s not an African country undergoing civil war, it’s not Serbia in the 90s and it’s not Haiti after a natural disaster. It hadn’t been any of these things since the early 90s. When I saw cities in Syria getting flattened on the TV it was sad but all those people were War People, not like us, couldn’t be us. (Situation is more complicated with Syria because at one point over a million Syrian people were displaced into Lebanon, a country with an official population of 4 million. I’m sure even the most accepting person of refugees could see how this is unsustainable)

The reason people cheer when Israel murders us is that they don’t think we’re people. It’s that simple. They think we’re destined for the slaughterhouse anyway and that we’re essentially terrorists for standing in the way instead of lying down to make the process easier on the Merkava’s suspension. Just look at that war footage! We are just blood for the blood god.

There’s nothing ironic about how every single person who has been murdered in this war who I personally know are people who hate the “terrorists” who they have been executed for “being a part of”. It’s how this works, it’s murder of normal people who are exactly like you and exactly like me. The cruelty has always been the point.

How did you get downvoted for this?

People don't like reading genocidal propaganda.

They have the order wrong, demonstrated by their own links as pointed out by queermunist.

Israel has always existed outside of international laws and conventions. A pariah state that has been oversold in the media, at least in the West.

I mean, they agreed to a two state solution as well so this doesn’t surprise me.
