On Thursday, June 5, 23 consecutive raids of marches, and bombing of Israeli fighters on Beirut’s southern suburbs, launched shortly after the Israeli army issued orders to evacuate buildings at the event, Haret Hreik, and Burj Al -Barajneh.
These raids came despite the Lebanese army, in coordination with the Supervision Committee for the implementation of the ceasefire agreement, to enter some of the buildings that the occupation threatened to refute the Israeli rumors claiming the presence of missile and marches factories, as the Israeli insisted on directing its strikes, which forced the Lebanese army- and to preserve the safety of its soldiers- to withdraw. But the question remains, why did the Israeli insist on carrying out its strikes despite the intervention of the Lebanese army?
A spokesman for the Israeli enemy army confirmed on its site on the “X” platform that the defense army launched a directed way through raids targeting production parking and warehouses to store rallies belonging to the Hezbollah Air Unit (Al -Wahda 127) in the southern suburb, and southern Lebanon.
But it seems that the Israeli needed excuses to carry out strikes on Lebanon, but his movement at this particular time- and despite Lebanon officially and popularly prepared to celebrate the blessed Eid Al-Adha- came 24 hours after the American using the veto (veto) at the United Nations, on a decision calling on Israel to stop its aggression on the Gaza Strip, and allowing the entry of humanitarian aid.
The Israeli Prime Minister considered that the American veto is a green light for his army to continue its war on more than one front, specifically the Lebanese front in which Hezbollah is the main pillar of the axis that includes Iranian influence in the region.
This is the first veto used by Washington in the UN Security Council since US President Donald Trump returned to the White House on January 20. That is why Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu flew with joy, saying: This veto came to refute all the fabrications that questioned his relationship with Trump.
Israel continues in its war in the region, so these strikes that were directed to Lebanon will not be, according to followers, as long as it is not a real deterrent standing in the face of what is going on in Netanyahu’s thinking, which apparently became an executive tool in the hands of the American administration.
It is not surprising that the Israeli aircraft hit the depth of the suburb, as it carried out a lot even after the announcement of a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah on January 27, and the decision was entered into force, despite the fact that the Lebanese state and the army leadership expressed their full willingness to implement the provisions of what was agreed upon, and this was confirmed by the Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam in his positions on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the formation of its government, that the Lebanese army is more than that 500 sites and weapons stores in the area extending south of the Litani River, stressing at the same time, that stability cannot be achieved in light of the repeated Israeli aggression on Lebanon.
Peace positions intersect with what was expressed by the President of the Lebanese Republic, Joseph Aoun, with his strong condemnation of the Israeli aggression on Thursday evening, June 5, on the southern suburb of Beirut, and in some southern regions. Aoun stressed in a statement issued by the Lebanese presidency, on his conviction, considering that “this blatant permissibility of an international agreement, as well as the axioms of international and humanitarian laws and decisions, on the eve of the occasion of the blessed Eid Al -Adha.
There is no discussion that the real war in the region has not started yet, as the recent Israeli strikes did not carry messages to the Lebanese interior, who is committed to his pledges to implement the provisions of Resolution No. 1701, but it came after the visit made by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqji, to Beirut, on Tuesday, June 3, which in addition to its official nature supporting the movements of the Lebanese state, where he demanded the opening of a “new page” with Lebanon, it carried messages to Israel from the shrine of Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah, that the resistance is ready, and that Iran is still its first incubator.
Unofficial information also indicates that the aim of this sudden visit to Iraq to Beirut is a negotiating dimension with America about the nuclear file, due to the talk about the “fertilization” complex that Iran considers a sacred right to it, as long as it is used within the framework of the peaceful program.
Iranian -American negotiations entered its decisive stage, and the two parties began to wave their power papers. Netanyahu emphasizes that Israel will carry out strikes against Iran if these negotiations are stumbled, and that its air forces are carrying out continuous exercises that simulate the scenario of air strikes on Iran, which will establish that it is a strong America paper in the region. While Araqji came to Lebanon to lift the strongest Iranian paper in the region, which is the presence and weapon of Hezbollah, and that there is a possibility to open the southern front again if Tehran was exposed to Israeli bombing.
The Lebanese “mixed”, and began to lose his confidence in everything, and almost repeated with the poet Al -Mutanabbi: “Eid in any case, I came back,” because of the severe panic that accompanied him, specifically the residents of the southern suburb of Beirut and the southern regions, after they evacuated their homes, escaped to places that are more secure than those targeted by Israel.
This, and the Israeli raids came on the eve of the celebration of Muslims in the world, Eid Al -Adha, as Israel transformed the “joy of the feast” in the eyes of children in Lebanon into anxiety, fear and terror, while these strikes displaced hundreds of families that will be added to those thousands that have become homeless.
The game “Mints” started between the American and the Iranian, but it is the Lebanese who screams; Because Israel has no deterrence yet to stop its aggression, despite the Lebanese Prime Minister’s affirmation of the implementation of the international decision. Although President Aoun raised the level of condemnation to those concerned, specifically the United States, things will not calm down on this front; Because the goal is beyond the application of international decisions, it is related to the fate of the entire region. The sixth round of the negotiations will be Al -Faisal in the position of the area, either walking in the path of a peaceful solution, or direct escalation, and this is what Netanyahu seeks.
