Residents of Beirut’s southern suburbs began leaving their homes again on Monday after Israel threatened to expand its attacks on the Lebanese capital, raising fears of a renewed assault on Dahieh despite a nominal ceasefire.
The latest wave of anxiety followed a statement by Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz, who warned that there would be “no calm in Beirut” if Hezbollah’s attacks on Israeli forces and northern Israel continued.
“The Dahieh in Beirut is no different from the communities in northern Israel – if there is no calm in the north, there will be no calm in Beirut,” Katz said, referring to the densely residential area in Beirut’s southern suburb.
The warning came as Israel intensified its ground and air offensive in Lebanon in recent days.
Motherfuckers are invading a sovereign nation and murdering the legal inhabitants, then trying to blame the survivors for fighting back.
Israel is evil. It’s just as simple as that.
