Israel orders villagers to evacuate Lebanon border as Hezbollah tensions rise
[GEO.TV] Hostility between the Israeli army and Hezbollah along the northern border of Israel with Leb
...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
has pushed the Israeli authorities to order tens of thousands of Israeli residents to evacuate the vicinity.

Over the past 24 hours, evacuation orders were issued for 14 towns, while 28 others received similar directives in the preceding week.

These evacuations have evoked a range of reactions among the affected populations. Some residents expressed frustration and scepticism about their safety during the evacuation process.

This large-scale evacuation is a stark reflection of the palpable unease and anxiety gripping the region due to the mounting military tensions.

ONE ISRAEL SOLDIER KILLED, THREE INJURED
According to a statement by the Israeli forces spokesperson one Israeli soldier dead and three were maimed as Israeli tanks and engineering vehicles came under fire in Qasuf Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...

in the Gaza Strip, the Paleostinian community mourned the loss of photojournalist Rushdi Sarraj, who fell victim to an Israeli assault on his residence.


Sarraj was celebrated for his exceptional photographic talents and creative storytelling that shed light on the challenges faced by Gazooks living under the duress of conflict and a long-standing blockade.

Colleagues, including renowned international photojournalist Wissam Nassar, paid tribute to his memory.

Earlier, the Israeli forces targeted the Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank after announcing intensifying Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
s on Gaza ahead of a planned ground invasion.

The airstrike targeted a mosque associated with the Jenin Brigade, labelled an "underground terrorist group" by Israel, reported Al Jazeera on Sunday.

According to Israeli sources, the al-Ansar mosque was associated with the Jenin Brigade, labelled an "underground terrorist group" by Israel and added that they were "neutralised", without giving details on the number killed in the strike or their identities.

The director of the Red Islamic Thingy in Jenin, Mahmoud al-Saadi, was quoted by the Paleostinian news agency Wafa saying one person was martyred and three others injured in the strike.

Dozens of people have been martyred in the West Bank by Israeli troops or settlers since October 7, when Hamas fighters stormed into Israel and killed at least 1,400 people, most of them civilians, according to Israeli reports.

Meanwhile,

Israel has launched heavy bombardment of the Gaza Strip in retaliation, which has martyred more than 4,741 Paleostinians, mostly civilians including over 1,000 children, according to the Gaza health ministry.

According to Al Jazeera correspondent Sara Khairat, the air strike took residents "by surprise" but it appears there may still be more to come.

"Eyewitness spoke to us and said they saw an F-fighter jet in the sky, they heard it and then the Israeli army came out to confirm it was an air strike," said Khairat live from Ramallah.

The mosque was the site of a two-day Israeli siege in July when Israeli forces found a network of tunnels and seized equipment, drones, and ammunition, she said.
