Israel seems to have moved beyond the terrible Dahieh doctrine. They have decided to wage war against what it deems the "resistance society". They have been preparing lists of targets for years: from schools to medical centers. The beeper attacks was the opening act of this war🧵 Their public-facing intel groups - like Meir Amit - have even published reports on Hezb institutions that support this resistance society. There are PUBLIC reports on Bint Jbeil, Nabatieh, Bekaa. This is just tip of iceberg terrorism-info.org.il/en/the-civilia…

Israel deliberately targeting Nabatieh. This has been planned for long. Look at this 2021 report on Nabatieh from Meir Amit Intelligence & Terrorism Information Center. The report basically lists all civilian institutions affiliated with Hezb in town

terrorism-info.org.il/en/the-civilia… The report (prepared by Israeli intel) lists schools, health clinics, cultural institutions, scouting institutions, gas stations. It concludes "All these components contribute to the strength of the Resistance Society and assist Hezbollah in gaining the local population’s support

Thinking a lot about the @972mag article on Israel's targeting. Much of the conversation is focused on Israel's violation of proportionality. That is obvious. But actually, the main issue is that it is violating the principle of distinction. A 🧵
972mag.com/mass-assassina… What the article describes as “power targets” are not considered under IHL as legitimate military targets. A Hamas member's home is not legitimate. Otherwise, any building in Israel where a reservist lives, would be legitimate. It defeats basic premise of distinction under IHL /2

1) Quick thread on US sanctions on #Lebanon officials. No sympathy for those who pillaged country. BUT, motivation & how sanctions applied matter. I don’t believe this is about anti-corruption & there is a risk that a selective approach undermines broader anti-corruption drive 2) This is really about US putting squeeze on Hezbollah & its allies. The anti-corruption motivation feels like an afterthought. Otherwise, they could have elaborated more on the corruption claims or broadened them to corrupt pro-US allies (and they are many)
