Lebanon war 2024 - September

LEBANON 2024 / SEPTEMBER

bold date	= may be war crime	In October 2023, Netanyahu's ill-conceived declaration of war on Gaza had triggered series of reactions from Hezbollah. We view these reactions as reflections of the group's own experience with the Israelis that is similar to those of Hamas as both were found in the same circumstances. For Hezbollah, the occupation of Southern Israeli escalation from 1982 to 2000. For Hamas, the active occupation of Gaza from 1956 to 2005, and the retaliatory blockade from 2007 into the period of Netanyahu's brazen dystopian onslaught that began on October 8, 2023. Documenting how the media headlines another brazen onslaught but in Israeli escalation goes along with history in mind, not politics.

This is a mass displacement crisis already since Monday when Israel began its intensive and extensive air strikes targeting Hezbollah’s traditional strongholds in the east and south of the country. It displaced more than 100,000 people. That’s added to the 110,000 who were already displaced in 11 months of fighting.
