Middle East crisis live: Netanyahu says Israel has ‘taken out’ Nasrallah’s successors and warns Lebanon faces destruction ‘like Gaza’

Israeli PM claims forces have taken out ‘Nasrallah’s replacement, and the replacement of the replacement’ as he makes dire warning to Lebanon

Benjamin Netanyahu has warned Lebanese people that they could face “destruction and suffering” like the Palestinians in Gaza if they don’t “free” the country from Hezbollah.

“You have an opportunity to save Lebanon before it falls into the abyss of a long war that will lead to destruction and suffering like we see in Gaza,” the Israeli prime minister said in a video address directed to the people of Lebanon.

“I say to you, the people of Lebanon: Free your country from Hezbollah so that this war can end.”

    What exactly aren’t you buying?

    It is literally not an advertisement for property. No one is advertising property for sale. Your speculation about the relationship between two groups not selling property seems pretty pointless in this case.

    There are plenty things to be angry at Israel about. You shouldn’t waste your time being angry about imaginary things.

      I’m not buying the fact that Israel has no plans to settle Lebanon once they manage to displace enough people. We’ve seen it done many times to the Palestinians over the past 70+ years. There’s no reason for anyone to believe they don’t want to do the same here. They literally tried doing that in the 90s with the south of Lebanon, and Hezbolllah harassed them so much that they were forced to leave the area and give it back to Lebanon.

        What’s that got to do with me? I wasn’t talking about whether Israel has plans to occupy or settle Lebanon. I was commenting on whether they are advertising property for sale, which they are not.

          What do you mean what’s that got to do with you? I never talked about you in the first place?

            You:

            I’m not buying the fact that Israel has no plans to settle Lebanon

            I’m not selling that.

            I’m not commenting on Israeli intentions in Lebanon. I’m not defending Israel or their aims. I’m just commenting on one small thing:

            Is Israel advertising property for sale in Lebanon?

            And they aren’t.

            I’m not trying to convince you that it has some big implication for their intentions in Lebanon. It doesn’t. They just aren’t advertising property for sale in Lebanon. Whatever Israel’s intentions are, that claim is false.

              The advertisement was made by an extremist settler group that went so far as to rename the areas in Lebanon with Hebrew names. There are too many extremists currently in the Israeli government for me to believe this some fringe group. And even if that were not the case, history has shown this is exactly the kind of thing Israel does.
