Israel’s brutal campaign against Lebanon launched on March 2 has run parallel to the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran. When Trump and Iran declared a ceasefire in the second week of April, on terms that included a ceasefire in Lebanon, Israel launched a brutal bombing campaign on April 8th attacking over 100 targets in ten minutes. Israel’s war against Iran-backed Hezbollah has targeted civilian infrastructure, journalists, medics and civilian populations. Israel is using the same playbook that it’s used in occupied Palestine, and appears to be trying to turn southern Lebanon into another Gaza.
