On April 8th, the Zionist entity struck ademonic blowto the heart of Beirut, dropping 1,000 pound bombs in densely packed residential areas, killing untold civilians and injuring many more. One of Lebanon’s most dire mass-killings since the end of the 1990 civil war, it marked the resumption of Israel’savowedly genocidalinvasion. With bombsraining down apaceeven as rare in-person talks between the pair near, Zionist Occupation Force-backed settlers aremoving quicklyto establish a permanent presence in the country’s south.

Whateverabrupt pausein the war on the Islamic Republic can be sustained by duelling Iranian and US blockades of theStrait Of Hormuzmust be viewed in the context of the Zionist entity’s longstanding determination to annex Lebanese territory, in service of‘Greater Israel’. Tel Aviv’s criminal incursion ignitedMarch 16th, Orwellianly dubbed by officials a “targeted ground operation against key targets.” It was not until10 days laterthat major news outlets deigned to call it an invasion.
OnMarch 23rd, Tel Aviv’s finance minister Bezalel Smotrich – aself-proclaimed fascist– urged the ZOF to formally annex southern Lebanon. Since then, over a million people have been displaced, thousands killed, and civilian infrastructure razed en masse. While a significant chunk of the country is now occupied, the cost for Tel Aviv was substantial. Unrelenting Hezbollah fire producedheavy casualtiesand record equipment and vehicle losses, including 21 Merkava main battle tanks in a single day onMarch 26th.
On April 2nd, Israeli mediaopenly advertisedthe impending ceasefire in the war on Iran. It was revealed the Zionist entity was preparing to intensify its air campaign against Lebanon, due to enormous damage inflicted by the Resistance upon the ZOF. Tel Aviv reportedly planned to “[reduce] the current focus on Iran,” in order to support “Israeli ground forces attempting to seize Lebanese territory.” Were it not for hell being unleashed from the skies, the ZOF would currently be in big trouble.
OnApril 5th, the ZOF’s Northern Command chief admitted Tel Aviv had grossly overestimated damage inflicted upon Hezbollah during its October 2024 invasion of Lebanon. Entity political and military chiefs had long-claimed the Resistance factionwas obliteratedby the illegal intervention. TheZOF estimated70 – 80% of Hezbollah’s rocket capabilities were destroyed during the conflict. This reverie was comprehensively shattered by hundreds of the group’s projectiles successfully targeting Tel Aviv daily, throughout the Zionist-American war on Iran.
No wonder that conflict is now on hold. Hezbollah remains a redoubtable adversary, which can independently, and in tandem with its Resistance comrades, thwart Tel Aviv’s seizure of Lebanese territory, andpermanently expelZionist settlers from northern Palestine. This wreaks havoc with Greater Israel’s construction, which Benjamin Netanyahuopenly yearnsto be his enduring political legacy, and literal ‘get out of jail free’ card. Hence, southern Lebanon must be annexed, and Hezbollah neutralised. But attempting to do so will, as before, end in fatal catastrophe.
