Daily life in southern Lebanon under threat of escalation | The Take

United Nations officials warn of the possibility of a wider war as fighting intensifies along Lebanon’s southern border with Israel. Each side says it is responding to attacks by the other, but could the situation spin out of control? And what does that mean for the people who live there?

Yes. I hope as well there will be no war. Would be tragic for both sides.

[@blueblack3591]

True

[@HolyOrthodoxChristian]

Of course, their end game is to take the entire Levant AJ, please do stories on Gaza 2035 project and the Red Sea Project. I can't see why these projects are not major news items anywhere. They all know about it. The names of the projects keep changing to throw off the average person. Putin shakes hands with MBS, Zelensky shakes hands with MBS. These projects take years of planning before they are built. Investment companies, engineering firms, labour and equipment need to be organised, therefore thousands of people are involved. Supply of building materials etc, etc. These are all organised years in advance. Sorry to repeat, this is their governments end game.

Maybe try peace now before you ask for a ceasefire in a month.

[@terralljohnson4799]

Yeah well why wait for them to escalate. The old saying is, "Why put off until tomorrow what you can eliminate today?"

[@Vorname_Nachnahme]

Because they can't.

It reminds US of thé Daily life in Donbass Region.Are WE All fighting thé same enemy of thé World???👍

[@ElectricCult]

Israel is done. Yes they may escalate in Lebanon but they will only make their own lives more difficult. An H on one end and another H on the other, both with protective tunnels and the righteousness to see it through. The perpetrators constantly playing the victim will get their chance to be actual victims.

[@stan3399]

Is that why one H is begging for a ceasefire?

Daily life in southern Lebanon 😂 what about daily life in northern Israel?

[@Vorname_Nachnahme]

Is there any northern Israel left?

[@antoniosilvestre5150]

The only way for peace in the middle east! Since israel occupation was forced on Palastine and middle east as a finger in the middle east! Is to israel to vacate the middle east! And as to united states support israel can be established in the United States! BUT I don't know if united states will do that as they want a finger in the middle east! Same as Ukraine, supporting them to have a finger close to Russia! 😮

[@jaynash9456]

Israeli citizens have been taken for a ride. Initially, Israelis were giving 100% support for the war but now realised that Israel is losing the battle and that IDF is killing the hostages on purpose. With Northern Israel on fire, Israelis want IDF to cut lossess and withdraw its troops from Gaza. Netahanyu will not stop the war and preparing to destroy completely. The Axis of Resistance is extremely strong and will take over Northern Israel soon. Israel got more to lose if they want to continue the war

[@trojan2793]

What kind of story was that really lol

[@thegirlfromru]

Stop smoking kid.

[@IsaacOdhiambo-gs4dz]

Stop crying for ceasefire then...😅

[@aliendarwintv]

This is too much reading of the Quran that you do not understand between failure and success what Hamas did not expect so many children died in a careless decision.

[@danielnzekudu5173]

Your analysis is zero. What do you understand by war? Don't you know that both sides will lose but at last one side must triumph & that is Israel.

To show other opinions or counterpoints doesn't mean AJ is blaming lsrl or is for Arabs whether good or bad. If you were able of critical thinking you would obviously recognise it.

Israelis were offered the Land of Palestine but REFUSED IT centuries ago. This, along with their rebellion against God, caused them to be cursed by God. They should know this if they really read the Quran to find proof of their ownership of Palestine.

[@user-wq9eg3nm4c]

Interesting. But I didn't understand your first sentence in particular.Can you shed some light on that?

[@graceandtruth7]

Get ready! Jesus is coming back soon! God loves you, and wants you to spend eternity with him, so if you haven't already done so, please put your trust in Jesus Christ whilst you can! For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16)
