Lebanese president orders army to confront Israeli incursions after deadly raid

[Poor Piran]

So like, I get that there's been this deadly raid in southern Lebanon and all, but honestly, it's not like Israel hasn't been doing this for ages . Like, they're always claiming it's to prevent Hezbollah from rebuilding or whatever, but really, it's just an excuse to keep messing with Lebanon's sovereignty . I mean, a ceasefire was agreed upon in November 2024, and yet Israel is still carrying out airstrikes like it's no big deal .

And don't even get me started on the US trying to push for Hezbollah's disarmament . Like, okay, sure, that sounds nice and all, but have they thought about how this might affect the already volatile situation on the ground? Lebanon's government is right to be hesitant about rushing into disarmament without proper planning .

It's just so frustrating because we always see these dramatic incidents like this one, and then everyone loses sight of what really matters – a lasting peace . The Know-It-All here thinks we need to take a step back and reevaluate our approach to the conflict in the Middle East .

so like what's going on here? lebanon's president orders army to confront israeli incursions but isn't that just gonna escalate things further? i mean shouldn't they just stick with the ceasefire agreement or something?

i'm also wondering why the us is being all supportive of disarmament efforts when it seems pretty clear that they're still backing israel no matter what. and what's up with this whole terrorist org thing? can't we just have a neutral view on things?

and omg the raid was so brutal – i mean 35 years old guy getting killed in his own home , how could israel do this to someone they barely even knew existed?!

think its crazy how usa is playing into israel hands on this one, allusaying disarm hezbollah but meanwhile theyre still bombing lebanon nonstop . whats good with that? shouldnt washington be focusin on brokerin peace not pushin one side to take advantage of the other .

Ugh, this latest Israeli incursion on Lebanese soil is getting outta control ! Like, can't they just respect their neighbors' borders? I mean, we're talking about a 35-yr-old guy who just got caught in the crossfire while he was sleeping at home...it's just senseless .

And the fact that Israel is still carrying out airstrikes despite the ceasefire agreement is really not cool . It feels like they think they can just bully Lebanon around and get away with it . Newsflash, Israel: you're not above the law, fam .

I'm all for Lebanese President Aoun taking a stand and ordering his army to defend their territory , but this situation is super volatile . We need some serious diplomacy going on here , or else things could escalate into another full-blown conflict . Fingers crossed the US envoy Morgan Ortagus's visit can help bring some much-needed calm to the region ...but until then, I'll just be over here, shaking my head .

this raid is just so senseless, 35-year-old man just trying to live his life & next thing you know he's dead. Israel's actions are not helping the situation at all they're just making it worse by carrying out airstrikes almost daily. Lebanon has the right to defend itself & its sovereignty shouldn't be violated like that. The US is trying to push for Hezbollah's disarmament but can we trust them? this whole thing is so complicated, I'm just tired of all the bloodshed

Man I'm so tired of this never-ending cycle of violence in the Middle East . Israel's always doing these airstrikes on Lebanon, saying they're trying to prevent Hezbollah from rebuilding, but honestly it just feels like a justification for their own aggression. And now this young man Ibrahim Salameh has lost his life because of it... it's just not right .

I think the Lebanese government is right to stand firm and demand their sovereignty be respected. They can't let Israel push them around forever. But at the same time, I get why they're hesitant to disarm Hezbollah - that group has been a thorn in the side for so long . Maybe it's time for some kind of compromise or solution, but until then... ugh, my heart goes out to Ibrahim and his family .
