Israeli strike hits close to Beirut airport: AJE correspondent

Al Jazeera's correspondent in Beirut, Laura Khan, joins live and reports the following :
These latest strikes, which happened moments ago, were larger and louder than those that targeted Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah last week. They said that the strikes hit and completely flattened a number of residential buildings in Beirut’s southern suburbs, which have been the main target of Israel’s nightly bombings of the Lebanese capital.

Israel has turned the shield of defense into a sword of aggression. While the right to self-defense is a cornerstone of international law, nations must exercise it with precision and restraint, ensuring that the response is proportionate to the actual threat and does not spiral into unjustified aggression under the guise of defense.

[@bernie-3964]

As Hezbollah launched rockets at southern Israel, the Lebanese government stayed silent, and the Lebanese army did nothing to stop Hezbollah's aggression. Even as Nasrallah repeatedly threatened Israel, the government remained quiet. However, when Israel retaliated against Hezbollah, the Lebanese government quickly spoke up, portraying itself as a victim. At the same time, the Lebanese army suddenly became active, serving as a loyal supporter of Hezbollah. The rhetoric from Israel’s adversaries remains predictable-empty and merely acting as puppets for Hezbollah, Hamas, and Iran.

[@kanthlk]

[@ExploreWestSumatra]

Israel's strike near Beirut airport is yet another act of aggression in a long history of imperialist violence aimed at destabilizing Lebanon and the wider region. This attack further demonstrates Israel’s willingness to violate international law and infringe upon the sovereignty of its neighbors, all under the guise of ‘security concerns.’ These strikes, often indiscriminate and disproportionately impacting civilians, serve to perpetuate a cycle of violence fueled by the larger imperial agenda in the Middle East. Lebanon, already grappling with political and economic instability, now faces increased threats to its infrastructure and security. The ongoing military actions by Israel are not isolated incidents but part of a broader system of occupation and imperial control that destabilizes the region. The path to real peace requires an end to these imperialist tactics, respect for national sovereignty, and justice for those living under occupation and foreign intervention.
