The UN is now assisting the IDF inside Lebanon.
A civilian ship captain, Imad Fadel Amhaz, was kidnapped by special forces of the Israeli Navy in the Lebanese coastal city of Batroun, supported by the German UN contingent stationed there, as well as unidentified men in civilian clothing, likely members of the Israeli Mossad
It is unknown why Imad Fadel Amhaz was kidnapped. Lebanese media confirm that he is a captain of commercial shipping, not a part of the Lebanese Navy. Some sources claim he is a high-ranking Hezbollah commander, but there is no proof for this. Batroun has no Hezbollah presence, it is a Christian-majority city. The event is very mysterious.
An Israeli Sa'ar-5 class guided-missile corvette is passing through the Suez Canal under the protection of the Egyptian navy, the ship is flying the flags of Israel and Egypt side by side
Earlier this morning, a Hezbollah suicide drone struck an Israeli military factory north of Nahariyya
Ground forces are causing a tiny fraction of total casualties. You can complain about individual soldiers doing war crimes all day long, a single apartment building being brought down will cause a multitude more death and destruction. For as long as Israel is able to conduct air operations unimpeded, there is no 'winning'.
Tens of thousands of civilians have already perished. Trading that even for a few thousand Israeli casualties seems like pointless celebration.
Infact I ask many in this thread, what does the end goal look like for this pointless conflict? The end of Israel is not a realistic outcome, those wishing to prolong the conflict rather than hoping for a ceasefire is basically doing what people complain about in the other conflict threads, bleeding Gaza dry for clout.
This forum has no control over What Palestinians do on their land. I haven't seen anyone here on this thread speak in favour of prolonging this massacre, only that many stand in solidarity with the resistance. The Palestinians, Hezbollah, and the Yemenis have all tried to negotiate a permanent ceasefire to no avail. What exactly do you want them to do, give up and bend over backwards for the occupation? They refuse to do that whether the outcome of ending Israel is realistic or not.
The unabated airstrikes you are referring to, have to actually hit military installations, not condominiums, mosques and hospitals. Otherwise it won't be a win for the West either.
The longer this goes on, the more the West gets isolated as they stand shoulder to shoulder with their brothers and sisters in Israel. This time it is all documented in full HD and 4k and it will be with us here forever. This will have far reaching consequences for many generations to come. The hate and resentment for the US and their allies will be inherited from generation to generation, and the only way to stop it is to go full throttle fascistic in an attempt to control the narrative (which we already see taking place), which will demoralize, confuse and divide the masses in the West (Which we also see happening). It has also put on full display what the West is all about in their lack of unity and social cohesion (Psyoped to us as "American individualism") with hundreds of millions of them outright supporting erasing an entire people just so their baby Jesus shows up, such as the Christian Zionist types that love to exercise their "freedom of expression and association" by sporting Nazi and Crusaders insignia (and the newly inaugurated Houthi hunting club insignia) in order to pay homage to their real roots. The fact that the West is busy dumping all their money on wars and death dealing while their infrastructure decays and economies shrink, their international courts and human rights protection mechanisms erode, and while other continents such as Asia and Africa build their economies away from this inhumanity, establishing real alternatives to the Western technological dominance, will further accelerate the utter Western failure that is sure to come in the near future, as well as pave the way for new non Western international bodies to be established, replacing the the joke that is the UN along with all its fake off-springs.
If this isn't a win for the Palestinians, then nothing is, because the only alternative is to exist in an open air prison not allowed to build their futures and barely surviving and humiliated by bare minimum foreign aid.
