The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

...the "cease fire" with Iran, allows them to bring the full force of the IDF to bear on Lebanon. Lucky for "Bibi", Trump the Dog is backing his claim the cease fire does not include Lebanon. fwiw, the one uninterested party, the PM of Pakistan, agrees with Iran, the cease fire applies on all fronts, including Lebanon.

Israel launches sprawling attacks on Lebanon after Iran ceasefire was declared

Verified video and photos from the region showed how sprawling strikes across parts of Beirut, southern Lebanon and the eastern Bekaa Valley shot towering columns of acrid smoke into the sky above the capital and sparked a desperate evacuation.

According to the Reuters news service, Lebanon's civil defense service said the new strikes had killed more than 250 people — heaping more casualties on the more than 1,500 in Lebanon already killed in the more than five-week-old Israeli invasion.

“The Hezbollah terrorist organization concentrated its forces in northern Beirut,” the IDF said. “For years, Hezbollah has used the civilian population as human shields, and it has now begun using" non-Shia civilian populations as well,” it said.

So, seems Israel intends to attack Christian areas of Lebanon as well, just like Christians are being attacked in the West Bank, along with the Muslim Pals.

Seems the IDF ground forces are getting a bloody nose at the hands of Hexbollah. Of course, Israel denies the magnitude of their losses.

So, the IDF intends to flatten Lebanon from the air? Top Israeli brass has said that was their intent.
