‘Ferocious’ bombing of Lebanon targets homes, kills nearly 500 as thousands flee

“Residential homes have been targeted and the death toll is simply unfathomable.”

Israeli air strikes in Lebanon have killed nearly 500 people, according to the Lebanese government, and thousands have been “stuck for hours” trying to escape the bombings, says journalist Will Christou.

Lebanon has had a year to stop Hezbollah rockets and many years to comply with UN resolution 1701. Lebanon failed its citizens.

Women and Children looks to be common language among Hezbollah and Hamas. They never mention how many terrorists are killed.

[izekoredoborlife]

No matter how many times he repeats saying mostly children and women doesn't change the fact that everything is on Hezbollah and Israel has the right to defend itself. he looks so pathetic like an Hezbollah member.

I’m so sorry that innocent Lebanese people have had to leave homes but thankful they are moving away to safety. My prayers for Lebanon to be free from terrorist.❤

[lanceg]

I don't have any respect for countries like Lebanon. Im just sorry for innocent civilians who have to suffer because of Hezbollah.

[johnkohsamui]

You can tut all you like about whether Israel's warning message to civillians is effective, but the fact is, Israel is not obliged to send any warning at all. In fact, it's the only army that ever does and ever has, so tut, tut, tut away.

The speaker is nothing more than a mouthpiece for Hez

[ebenezerpopoola]

Hypocrisy. Lies. Are weapons, rockets so small that civilians didn't know they were being stored in their garages and living rooms? The people looked the other way when Hezbollah fighters were doing these, pretending not to noticed it. Where were they when Hezbollah was firing rockets from their homes? Hypocrisy. Lies.

Ppl are not blind sir, weapons are not small

[YoshiYamazaguii]

We are tired of war. We just need to say no. No more

[mikeking-yhkm]

it mean people don't know who their neighbours are whether they are Hezbollah or You better run when you can.

[enoughisenough]

I noticed alot of footage of big secondary explosions in many of these homes, including rockets cooking off and everything. weird

[sisuriffs]

If you keep a missile in your dining room, you are an enemy combattant and your “home” is a military target. If you have no idea there is a missile in your home or your neighbour’s home, you have more serious problems of perception.

You’d think from this piece that shots had never been fired from Lebanon by these poor innocents, and that those who do so are simply putting pressure on Israel to achieve peace in solidarity with their fellow freedom fighters in Gaza.

Hamas and Hezbollah must be laughing at the West when they see this stuff.

Your expert actually referred to finding a solution. At least he didn’t say ‘final solution’.

[churchill]

The peace keepers, have they advised hezbollah to stop launching rockets towards lSRAEL? No

[DeloresSimpson-goyf]

Innocent women and children are being murdered. Sometimes the victim becomes the bully. It appears this will continue as the forever war. Who started this?

[Moscow_Will_Burn]

As the old saying goes. "Israel has the right to defend itself".

[MarcGrinnell]

The Lebanese Army is not strong enough to drive Hezbollah out of Lebanon. The Israeli Army has gone into Lebanon several times in the past and the problem is still there.

[GlasPthalocyanine]

How many of the casualties are killed by the weapons hidden in houses or underground?

[juliusoba]

Will you guys hold Hesbollah accountable or will you keep blaming Israel?

[TonyEl-hayek-xr]
