How Israel's destruction of towns in southern Lebanon leads to sectarian tensions | DW News

[@mrobinson]

Ppl just put themselves into the hands of terrorists like Hezbollah then complain & claim victim when the trouble starts?? Learn from this Lebanon…for the better!

[@dustintacohands1107]

Yes I saw the missile trucks parked in CIVILIAN garages in residential areas. There’s no way the whole neighborhood didn’t know about those huge missile platforms just sitting in the basement of residential apartments.

[@FirstnameLastname-tm1rv]

But that is the same argument one can make about Israelis, putting themselves into the hands of religious colonialism nuts who think that their god gave them more rights than to other humans, and then complain with others resist that silly notion.

[@dustintacohands1107]

@ do Israelis put military bases under apartment buildings?? You think Israelis have no claim to the land yet their roots are deeper there than anyone else’s.

[@MetalGear1]

They didn’t start the war so they can believe whatever they want to believe in their own country. You believe what you want to believe and don’t start a war on other countries.

😂😂😂 exactly

[@1michael1ish]

Israel's destruction of towns??? you just forgot to mention way and what those towns are used for

[@nvmtt]

by all means, enlighten us. with sources.

[@BlueDino-w9d]

I don't think DW "forgot" to mention that these locations were used for military purposes by Hezbollah. Just their intentional bias.

[@lucillebaltazar910]

Your reporting doesn’t mentioned that those areas were used by hezbollah as launching pad,weapon depot and so on.

[@santabanter]

That’s called consequences

[@DryTears01]

True!

[@eddavis1832]

Where was UNIFIL? The UN promised to keep Hez out of southern Lebanon!

[@kakkik3756]

Why keep them out of their country

[@abrahamlevi3556]

UNIFIL had systematically colluded with Hezbollah for their own protection.

[@nvmtt]

too busy stealing all the lebanese banks.

[@apiklala]

UN cant dictate a country to not live in their own country

[@Rsa1055]

@@kakkik3756 nobody suggest they have to leave their country, but the agreement was militants must not be south of litany river. And UNIFIL supposed to watch. Practically next to their base hezbollah built bunker, stored weapon that was used shelling israeli towns. The fact is hesbolla started this war, not israel, and obviously they did not consider what may happen if other side decides enough is enough and response would be so harsh.

So much for ''freedom of choice of what to wear.'' If women are allowed to be half naked on the streets, then why can't they choose to cover themselves up?

No they weren't. Those were military outposts used to attack the Galilee.

[@massey81]

Its not about their religion but rather fears that their family members may be Hezbollah members which may be targeted if the ceasefire doesnt hold up which would in turn put the property of the owners at risk.

[@nvmtt]

they are just deserters. like ukraine. they couldnt be bothered to defend their own southern border. now that the consequences have caught up to them, they complain. They do not care about the looks of that man. they care about his cowardice.

The ceasefire "is holding" according to DW. The "ceasefire" that is flagrantly violated multiple times by one party i.e. the country to which DW's journalists must show due deference (as stipulated by their "code of conduct" since September 2022).

Israel's bona fides in 2006 become clear when one recalls the fact that it dropped 4.6 million cluster submunitions on south Lebanon, 90% of them “over the final three days when Israel knew a settlement was imminent” (Human Rights Watch). In other words, 90% of its bomblets were dropped AFTER the UN Security Council had passed Resolution 1701 calling for a ceasefire on August 11, but BEFORE the ceasefire took effect at 8 a.m. on August 14.
