Israel renews Beirut strikes with US green light

Despite a ceasefire that paused the US-Israeli war on Iran, Israel struck Beirutโ€™s Dahiyeh district again on Sundayโ€”killing several people. The attack violates the April 8 truce, which required halting Israeli strikes on Lebanon.

Iranโ€™s Parliament Speaker Qalibaf said: โ€œIf the US lacks the will or ability to fulfill its commitments, speaking of continuing the path is not possible.โ€

Trump wrote that the attack โ€œshould not have happened,โ€ but Axios confirmed Israel notified CENTCOM beforehand. Analysts say Netanyahu is sabotaging the Iran-US MoU to prolong conflictโ€”covering his corruption charges and strategic defeat. Tehran warns that continued Israeli aggression will not go unanswered.

Why does the Israeli regime target Beirut's Dahiyeh?

๐Ÿ”นOver five decades, Beirut's southern suburbs (Dahiyeh) evolved from a refuge for displaced people into Hezbollah's political and social heartโ€”offices, schools, clinics, and media infrastructure.

๐Ÿ”นAfter Israel's 1982 invasion, resistance movements crystallized into Hezbollah. This is why Dahiyeh is so central to Israeli military thinking.

๐Ÿ”นDuring the 2006 war, the regime's "Dahiyeh Doctrine" deliberately targeted civilian infrastructure to pressure Hezbollah's support baseโ€”a strategy human rights groups condemn as a violation of international humanitarian law.

๐Ÿ”นToday, Dahiyeh remains both a sanctuary for the marginalized and a frontline in the ongoing conflict.

The 'roaring lion' proved to be a whimpering mouse

Israeli media and officials now openly admit what Iran has always known: the war on Iran ended in a "resounding strategic defeat."

Former PM Yair Lapid concedes Iran's government survived, its missile program remains intact, and its nuclear infrastructure is untouchedโ€”while Israel "was not even at the table" for the emerging Iran-US MoU.

Senior officials accuse Trump of "betrayal" and "deception," lamenting that Tehran got everything it wanted. One Israeli source admitted: "Iran weaponized Western economic weight against itself, forcing Washington to sue for terms."

Netanyahu promised a "roaring lion." Israel got a whimpering mouse.
