Israeli officials say they were targeting a Hezbollah munitions factory but this was strenuously denied by locals in the village of Kfor near Nabatieh town.
Israeli airstrikes killed dozens of people including two families in both Gaza and Lebanon, while Hezbollah fired a volley of 55 rockets into northern Israel in response.
World leaders urged restraint and tried to frame the ceasefire negotiations as heading in a positive direction.
But in an interview with Sky News, the leader of Hamas in Lebanon told us no progress had been made so far at the talks and the two sides appear to be just as far apart as ever.
Hamas is not at the negotiations but messages and updates have been passed on to them on the sidelines.
I firmly believe that there won’t be peace as long as Israel exists on Palestinian land. And before people claim random stuff on what I say; sure Israel can exist but not on Palestinian land while genociding the native people. For example, US is their biggest enabler and supporter.. So perhaps they can allow Israel to exist within US.
And not as an ethnostate. No matter which ethnicity is favored, establishing and maintaining an ethnostate necessitates violent oppression and persecution of other ethnicities.
When I was maybe 10 years old back in the 90s I asked my Dad why we put a bunch of people in a heavily populated area "when Montana is just sitting there empty. I mean, someone uses the land and we get like, taxes and museums and maybe an amusement park, right?"
It's an easy question so I'll answer it: there are no resources for people or there.
Lots of these places don't even have roads to access them. Meanwhile, the roads that we do have are in a state of catastrophic disrepair.
If you spread everyone out evenly, the resources would also be too spread out. It doesn't do any good to have one hospital say every 100 or 200 miles because then the resources have to be spread out as well. It makes more sense to have one large hospital in the city that has all the specialty, doctors and equipment, and then smaller medical centers outside the city. And it's that way with everything from food production to car repair to retail.
You'd get a museum out there in the middle of nowhere, and there would be less traffic at the good museum in the city where they have the rarest largest exhibits. Instead of having some good museums and some less good museums, you'd have a bunch of mediocre ones. Let your dad know!
For example, US is their biggest enabler and supporter.. So perhaps they can allow Israel to exist within US.
They can have Oklahoma Nebraska and Kansas. They'll have many times as much lebensraum and the ones currently in charge there have proven to not be responsible enough to run a state.
As a bonus, there's hardly any Muslim-Americans living there now, so evacuating them all to other states of their choosing before Israelis arrive to potentially endanger them should be completely doable!
A massive portion of Israelis have dual citizenship. If there was some kind of one-state solution that combined the two, returned much of the stolen land back to the original Palestinians and gave everyone full rights, those people would pack up and go voluntarily but also claim that they were violently forced out and that the whole thing is a pogrom.
It's beyond wishful thinking Christians want a Jewish Israel as much if not more than Zionist Jews because the end of days cannot happen without a Jewish Israel.
The US could end this today if Biden called Netanyahu and told him no more weapons until a ceasefire happens. It worked for both Reagan and Clinton in the past.
Biden is cucked by a right wing fundamentalist government. It’s sad.
So perhaps they can allow Israel to exist within US
It sounds like you're suggesting ethnically cleansing Jews from the region. How is that any better than suggesting that all Palestinians be moved to Qatar or Iran?

It sounds like you’re trying to “gotcha” and twists my message/ word thing and I’m not going to take that bait. I’ll block you and if someone else has an actual argument without trying to these bait stuff I’ll respond.
In 2006 hezbollah killed less than 50 Israeli civilians meanwhile Israel bombed Beirut and killed thousands of civilians.
The claim that they are the world's most moral military was never true. They were always, from their inception, the most unhinged, brutal and barbaric military. They are on par with the Nazis that they claim to hate.
No militants ever die. No tunnels are ever bombed. Every casualty is a an innocent kid, doctor, and aid worker.
They have even less credibility than the IDF, which tells the truth at least sometimes.
Maybe if Hamas would follow a single international law or custom and put their soldiers in uniforms there wouldn't be so many dead women and kids, do you think?
Absolutely horrible, but anyone else question the placement of these teddy bears? Just looks like it was staged (not the attack, but the picture with the teddy bear)
