Israel’s latest daily large-scale attacks on Lebanon have killed more than 15 people in Beirut and the south, as Iran and Hezbollah launched coordinated waves of attacks on Israel, with renewed conflict on this volatile front boiling over as part of the wider war launched by the United States and Israel on Iran.
A “double-tap” Israeli strike on Thursday at Beirut’s seafront area of Ramlet al-Baida, where displaced families were seeking respite from relentless bombing, killed eight people and wounded 31, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health.
“Witnesses in Ramlet al-Baida say they were sleeping in their tents when the roar of the jets woke them,” said Heidi Pett, reporting for Al Jazeera from Beirut.
“Then there was an impact and they popped their heads out of their tents in time to see the second one.”
Pett said the strike appeared to be another Israeli attempted assassination strike, “notably in areas outside those traditionally targeted, and beyond the zones where Israel has issued evacuation orders”.
Countries not respecting it are a joke. What is the ICJ supposed to do, if nobody follows their rulings and warrants? It’s not like they have an army to enforce anything.
