Middle East

NPR - Lebanon has been heavily impacted by Israeli bombings of homes, bridges and highways. The conflict has reignited cross-border conflict between the two countries. And the violence could intensify — with Israeli officials warning of a ground invasion. Israel’s defense minister said yesterday that the country plans to take Lebanon’s territory and move the Israeli-Lebanese border northward. Moving the border would leave thousands of Lebanese living in occupied territory, according to NPR’s Lauren Frayer. Paul Khreish, a municipal official in Ain Ebel, informed NPR he is worried his region will no longer be Lebanese and doesn’t know whether he should remain where he is or leave. 

The Guardian -   Israel has not prosecuted a single citizen for killing Palestinian civilians in the occupied West Bank since the start of this decade, a Guardian analysis has found, despite the killing of at least 1,100 civilians by soldiers and settlers since 2020. At least a quarter of those killed were children.
