Always a pleasure to speak with the inimitable Amy Goodman.

#Lebanon’s ‘white army’ of medicos, first responders & civil defense - more than 55 of whom have been killed in Israeli strikes in recent weeks - are heroes, working in terrifying, trying conditions with limited means to save & serve #beirut

Iranian prez vows to “never forsake” #Lebanon on same day #Beirut’s govt said it - & it alone - will negotiate a ceasefire, angering some who say better chance in regional deal given Beirut govt’s inability to get Israel to comply w previous truce. Other Lebanese say Iran is interfering

* TEHRAN CONSIDERING STRIKES AGAINST ISRAEL 'AMID ITS VIOLATION OF TEMPORARY CEASEFIRE IN LEBANON' -- IRAN'S FARS NEWS AGENCY CITING UNNAMED OFFICIAL

@reuters.com

Supreme National Security Council has said the truce includes a halt to hostilities on all fronts including Lebanon, but this quote is via Iranian media as far as I can tell

Urgent call for doctors across #Lebanon to go to hospitals to help. Repeated requests for people to donate blood, all types. Red Cross units from north Lebanon mobilized & headed to #Beirut & south to help. Talk of 100s killed & wounded but no casualty toll from Min of Health yet

How will #Iran respond to Israel undertaking largest simultaneous attacks on Lebanon of the war - about 100 strikes in 10 minutes - on what is supposedly 1st day of a ceasefire that Pakistan said includes #Lebanon?

Tehran had warned that ceasefire = Lebanon too or deal is off ⬇️

Massacre upon massacre in Beirut in the last hour. AUBMC announced a “code disaster.” Over 100 airstrikes in 10 minutes across the country. One hit right behind my house. Sirens ambulances & the smell of sulphur. The city is in total chaos the people in complete panic

Lebanese Red Cross chief warning of many dead and wounded, asking citizens to clear roads for ambulances. Hospitals are appealing for blood, all types. Strikes hit crowded residential areas in #Beirut. #lebanon

Dozens of simultaneous Israeli airstrikes across #Beirut and in the south, the Bekaa and elsewhere. In Beirut, first responders racing through streets, sirens screaming. Smoke billowing in residential areas. Traffic jams, chaos. no warning ahead of strikes #lebanon

Israel makes clear it will continue war in Lebanon despite fact ceasefire includes #Lebanon. It has already struck an ambulance & now issued an evacuation order. Will/can Trump rein in Netanyahu? Will Iran accept Israeli violations? Will Israel’s belligerence threaten the deal?

Genocidal. Will the world continue to watch and appease a madman, his enablers and donors? Will the US military follow orders to commit monumental war crimes?

Tonight Israel issued forced displacement orders for >40 towns & villages inc. around Sidon, Nabatieh, elsewhere. More than a million Lebanese are already displaced, shelters are at capacity, people are sleeping on streets, in cars. Now a new wave of displacement begins #lebanon

"Hormuz has made the end of American hegemony imaginable. It has also shown that, perhaps for the first time, the Global South possesses the political will and ideas needed to build a new international order.” @mona-ali.bsky.social on Suez, Hormuz, the petrodollar, & what might come next

The world normalized the abnormal with no consequences & is now seeing the blowback. Iranians say no deal unless it is comprehensive b/c "they don't want to be caught in a #Gaza or #Lebanon situation where there is a ceasefire on paper but US & Israel can attack again whenever they want” #iran

Three UNIFIL peacekeepers killed in south #Lebanon in the last 24 hours, two today and one yesterday

Monday morning and Trump is threatening to commit war crimes by blowing up Iran's power plants, oil wells and Kharg Island (and possibly all desalination plants).

One Lebanese soldier killed, others wounded in what Lebanese army says was an Israeli attack on a checkpoint near Tyre #lebanon #beirut

Israeli military spokesman advertises operation in south Lebanon launched from occupied Syrian Jabal al-Sheikh:

From the Ruins • EQUATOR In a country redefining its national symbols, holidays, historic heroes and school curriculum, what it even means to be Syrian is an open question

‪What happens when conflict ends & a country begins picking up the pieces? My glimpse into how Syrians aren't just rebuilding stone but trying to remake relationships that allowed buildings to function as shared space, for excellent new @equatormag.bsky.social #syria www.equator.org/articles/fro...

Israel wants to occupy at least 10% of #Lebanon, a zone Katz previously claimed would be demilitarized & depopulated. The people of the south will not forsake their land. Last time Israel occupied the sth, Hezbollah was born

#Iran’s speaker of Parliament denies talks with US

Hezbollah rockets reportedly traveling ‘more than 200 kilometers’ over Israel
#lebanon

Lebanon’s Ministry of Health says 56 people killed TODAY and 211 wounded #beirut #lebanon
