🇮🇱 Israel: IDF clashes with UN, US sends missile defence system

🇮🇱
The UN accuses Israel of violating its peacekeeping base in southern Lebanon as Israeli tanks reportedly destroyed gates and entered the facility. Israel refutes this, claiming its tanks were retreating under heavy fire from Hezbollah. The UN condemns such actions, warning they may be war crimes, while Hezbollah intensifies attacks, wounding dozens in northern Israel. Tensions remain high as Israeli forces battle Hezbollah in Lebanon, with concerns over escalating violence and the safety of UN peacekeepers amidst ongoing conflict. Regional powers, including Iran, signal readiness for further escalation.

State Dept: Israel has the right to defend itself. Translation: No one has the right to defend themselves from Israel.

The fact that the Democrats didn't condemn Israel the moment they invaded Lebanon is in fact their biggest foreign policy failure in my living memory. A clear line was crossed and they won't even stop shipping weapons to Israel.
