Lebanon’s Health Ministry said on Friday that 60 people had been murdered and 168 wounded in Israeli attacks over the previous 24 hours. That makes a big increase regarding the number of murdered people reported on Thursday. Those deaths bring the overall toll in Lebanon for people murdered in the past year of Israeli aggression on Lebanon to 2,229 murdered and 10,380 wounded.
Israel continues breaking all the international laws by extending the war on other unlawful targets: two Lebanese regular Armed Forces soldiers have been murdered and three others have been injured by Israel in southern Lebanon. This attack on official military from a sovereign State with no declaration of war, with no ‘casus belli’, constitutes an additional war-crime committed by the State of Israel in the region. And as we reported, Israel has also recently attacked ‘peacekeepers’, which breaks several laws. Yesterday its troops injured two ‘peacekeepers’, which was “condemned” by many imperialist States such as Spanish State, Italy, France, Canada, etc.
“Human Rights” organizations pointed out that: “Under the laws of war, UN personnel involved in peacekeeping operations, including armed members, are civilians, and deliberate attacks against them and peacekeeping facilities are unlawful and amount to war crimes”. They also quoted the Article 8(2)(b)(iii) of the Rome Statute, which established the International Criminal Court in The Hague. It lists the intentional targeting of humanitarian and peacekeeping missions as war crimes.
But this list of war-crimes, which are being increasingly committed and there is no way to stop them, are not enough for the imperialist masters and their huge hypocrisy. Biden said that for sure he was asking Israel to stop those attacks on UN troops. On the other hand Secretary of State, Blinken, also stated that “Asia is concerned about spread of Middle East conflict” and called for “diplomatic solution”. He continued by saying that the “intense focus” of the US is to prevent “these conflicts from spreading” in the face of what he described as an “Iran-led axis of resistance”. According to their version, the accountable for what is happening are the ones who resist, and not the ones who carry out an aggression against a sovereign State and slaughter its population. The truth is that Yankee imperialism continues supplying some of the most damaging weapons which Israel is using, for example JDAM bombs, used in the bombardments on Beirut, which are causing big numbers of civilians murdered because of its destructive power. US imperialism is at least that much criminal as Israel.
Meanwhile the Lebanese resistance continues defending the Lebanese borders and attacking Israeli military targets inside its territory. They released a new large report of actions done during Friday’s evening and night, which includes numerous shellings on Israeli military bases, gathering of troops and illegal settlements.
The Iraqi resistance has announced more strikes in support of Gaza and Lebanon against the Israeli aggression. On Friday they targeted Eilat:
Additionally they targeted the occupied Golan Heights at the evening of Thursday, October 10:
Today morning they launched a series of drone strikes against vital targets in the occupied Golan Heights and a US-controlled gas facility in Syria. In the Golan Heights, the Resistance conducted two separate drone strikes. In response, US forces launched missiles toward Deir Ezzor, which caused no casualties.
Those attacks by Iraqi resistance are making the US military in the region to be alert. They are activating surveillance devices to monitor drones, not just for protect themselves from those attacks, but also to protect its Israeli lackey as the Israeli forces are facing issues with the drones and missiles landing on the occupied Golan Heights.
Ansar Allah also has reported on several actions: they targeted two ships in the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean with missiles and drones. The targets were an American oil tanker OLYMPIC SPIRIT, and another ship named ST. JOHN.
