PARTING SHOT

YESTERDAY’S UNPRECEDENTED PAGER attack in Lebanon sent a brutal and unequivocal message to Hezbollah about Benjamin Netanyahu’s likely military intentions towards its northern neighbour.

Since the October 7th attacks last year, Hezbollah has launched thousands of missile attacks into northern Israel – displacing almost 100,000 Israeli citizens from their homes and settlements.

As Netanyahu’s genocidal operations in Gaza grind into an end-phase, his right-wing government appear to be shifting their attention to their northern front along the border with Lebanon.

In Tom Clonan’s Voices article, he argues that yesterday’s attacks in Lebanon amounted to an act of terrorism.
