Israel Strikes Lebanon Despite US-Iran Ceasefire

Israel Strikes Lebanon Despite US-Iran Ceasefire

The Spin


Israel is right to keep striking Hezbollah in Lebanon — the US-Iran ceasefire was never meant to cover a separate conflict with an Iranian proxy. Netanyahu made clear for days that Lebanon is a distinct fight, and the IDF must finish the job of removing the threat to northern Israeli residents. Letting Hezbollah off the hook just because Pakistan brokered a deal with Tehran would be a massive strategic blunder.

Israel continuing to bomb Lebanon after a ceasefire is indefensible — Hezbollah already halted fire, yet Israel struck hospitals, ambulances and civilians in Tyre and Sidon. Over 1.1 million people are displaced and Lebanon's economy has lost 5-7% of GDP in five weeks. Excluding Lebanon from the ceasefire while the country burns isn't strategy — it's collective punishment.
