Lebanese Government’s Helplessness Against Israeli Attacks
By: Kayhan Int’l Staff Writer
Lebanon is under aggression and occupation but there is no defence measures – let alone liberation efforts – in a country under daily bombing by Israel - which taking advantage of the impotency of the government in Beirut - is building a wall inside Lebanese territory, well beyond the UN demarcated borders.
Yet the Lebanese president in a strange move that further shows his abject weakness against the US-Israeli designs on his country says he might lodge a complaint with the UN Security Council, instead of asking the Hezbollah to use its legendry firepower to demolish the wall and drive out the Zionists.
Joseph Aoun, himself the former commander of the Lebanese army, did not even order the country’s armed forces to confront Israel’s lawlessness in blocking local residents from accessing over 4,000 square meters of their occupied territory.
It is indeed the sign of acute self-humiliation for the Lebanese government to dance according to the tunes of the US as well as of Israel by pressuring Lebanon’s legendry anti-terrorist movement to disarm, when Hezbollah is the only means of the country’s defence and resistance.
Tensions in southern Lebanon have been heightening for weeks, as the Zionist terrorist force continues to carry out almost daily airstrikes within Lebanese territory, aimed at Hezbollah members and the resistance movement’s infrastructure.
Israel’s aggression, launched in October 2023 and escalating into a full-scale offensive by September 2024, resulted in the targeted terrorist killing of senior Hezbollah figures, including the renowned Secretary-General Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah, in addition to the deaths of over 4,000 civilians, besides leaving nearly 17,000 others injured.
In spite of the UN-brokered ceasefire in November 2024, the Zionist forces have refused to withdraw from the occupied parts of southern Lebanon.
The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) has also confirmed the building of a wall on Lebanese territory by the Zionist entity in violation of the UN Security Council Resolution 1701 and of Lebanon’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Hezbollah has warned that its patience already stretched thin, it does not need the permission of anyone to start its resistance measures.
Hezbollah’s defence against Israeli attacks and encroachment demands retaliation by missiles on strategic sites in Occupied Palestine as well as ground action to demolish the wall.
