Blame israel 3 2 1 At least 87 killed in Israeli strike on northern Gaza, health ministry says Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency has reported a series of airstrikes carried out by Israeli aircraft on the town of Khiam near the Israeli border. According to the NNA, 14 consecutive airstrikes targeted multiple areas in the town within a span of 15 minutes on Sunday afternoon local time. Khiam is just 4 kilometers (about 2.5 miles) from the Israeli settlement of Metula on the other side of the border. It is also close to the town of Kfar Kila, which has been left in ruins by the Israeli incursion into southern Lebanon. CNN has reached out to the Israel Defense Forces for comment on the targets of the airstrikes but has not yet received a response. The airstrikes came as Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant visited troops at the border.

Speaking of Hezollah Gallant tells troops on Lebanese border they are moving toward "destroying" Hezbollah From Eugenia Yosef and CNN's Tim Lister Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant used a visit to the country’s northern border Sunday to rally his troops fighting Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, telling them they are “moving from defeating the enemy to destroying it.” Gallant told the soldiers they were moving from a phase of fighting militants in surrounding villages to a “situation of destruction,” blowing up tunnels and ammunition depots, and destroying other Hezbollah infrastructure. “Our goal is to completely clean this strip so that people can return here (to northern Israel) and establish their lives properly,” Gallant said. One of Israel’s stated war aims is to return tens of thousands of Israeli civilians who have been displaced from border regions due to cross-border fire with Hezbollah.

Yeah because there is far left in Europe DUH! Israel’s wars in Gaza and Lebanon have strained its ties with Europe From CNN's Nadeen Ebrahim Israel’s foreign ministry is threatening diplomatic and legal action against France after Paris banned Israeli companies whose weapons are being used in Gaza and Lebanon from participating in a top naval warfare trade show. Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz announced the move Sunday in a post on X, marking the latest public example of Israel’s increasingly strained ties with European leaders. From calls for a complete halt of weapons sales to Israel and considering sanctions on far-right Israeli ministers, to talks among European Union members on reviewing Israel’s Association Agreement with the bloc, European leaders are trying to use their leverage to pressure Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu into negotiating ceasefires. “Israel’s ties with the EU are under unprecedented stress at this point in time,” Hugh Lovatt, a senior policy fellow with the Middle East and North Africa Programme at the Berlin-based European Council on Foreign Relations think tank, told CNN. edition.cnn.com/world/live-news/israel-hamas-lebanon-gaza-iran-10-20-24/index.html
