Israeli military announces further action against Hezbollah, contradicting statements from Pakistan and Iran

Israel has said its military operations in Lebanon will continue despite Donald Trump’s ceasefire announcement, with Israeli forces carrying out strikes and telling civilians in the south of the country to leave the areas they are targeting.

The office of the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, said that Trump’s two-week pause “does not include Lebanon” amid reports of continued artillery and drone strikes, directly contradicting statements made by Iran and Pakistan, which has been mediating in the conflict.

Don't forget:

The batshit crazy evangelicals not only need war in the middle east to bring about Armageddon, they need Israel to be a Jewish ethnostate that gets wiped off the map by all of its neighbors unifying against them.

Their alliance with Israel was always temporary, and one day they're just going to leave them out to dry, because they think immediately after Israel gets wiped out, they get raptured.

I think if Vance does use the 25th in January, that's when they'll do the rug pull on Bibi. Especially since midterms are set to flush most of the Dems who support Israel. If republicans turn their back in lockstep in January as the new session starts...

Then we could actually see the day the US gives zero aid or support to Israel.

"Further action against Hezbollah" they really mean "making lots of civilians homless while taking more of Lebanon's land".

Tbh, they may hit some Hezbollah guy(s) while bombing the civilian homes. You never know.
