Lebanese President Orders Army to Confront Israeli Incursions After Deadly Raid

A deadly raid in southern Lebanon has led to widespread outrage and prompted Lebanese President Joseph Aoun to order his army to confront any future Israeli incursions on Lebanese territory. The Israeli military confirmed that troops were involved in the raid, which resulted in the killing of a 35-year-old municipal worker.

According to Lebanese state media, Ibrahim Salameh was sleeping at home when Israeli soldiers stormed the building where he worked and killed him. Witnesses described the scene as chaotic, with mattresses soaked in blood and bullet holes dotting the walls. The incident has sparked widespread anger over repeated violations of Lebanese sovereignty.

President Aoun condemned the raid and instructed his army to take action to defend Lebanese territory and its citizens. This order comes after a November 2024 ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel, which mandated the withdrawal of Israeli forces and the cessation of hostilities between both parties.

However, Israel continues to carry out near-daily airstrikes on southern Lebanon and the Bekaa valley, despite the agreement. The country claims that these actions are aimed at preventing the rebuilding of Hezbollah, a militant group that has been designated as a terrorist organization by several countries, including the United States.

The killing has also heightened tensions between Israel and Lebanon, with diplomats pushing for the Lebanese government to fully disarm Hezbollah. However, the Lebanese government has stated that it must not rush this process, fearing that it could spark civil war.

In a surprise move, US envoy Morgan Ortagus welcomed the decision by Lebanon to bring all weapons under state control by the end of the year during her recent visit to the border city of Naqoura. This development has been seen as an effort by Washington to push for Hezbollah's disarmament and reduce tensions in the region.

The incident serves as a reminder of the ongoing conflict between Israel and Lebanon, with both sides accusing each other of violating the ceasefire agreement. The situation remains volatile, and it is unclear what the future holds for the already fragile peace process.
 
🚨 this is getting out of hand! 🚨 i mean i get that israel has a right to defend itself but killing some guy in a building just for being there? that's not cool at all. and now they're pushing lebanon to disarm hezbollah? like what about their right to self-defense? 🤯 it's always the same - one side is all peaceful and the other side is all aggressive... can't we just find a way to coexist or something? 🤷‍♂️ and by the way, how many times doesrael need to invade lebanon before they start listening to the people? 🤔
 
🤔 this whole thing is super suspicious... i mean, who does Israel think they are, just carrying out airstrikes left and right? didn't they sign a ceasefire agreement with Hezbollah in November?! 🤷‍♂️ and now Lebanon's president orders his army to confront Israeli incursions and the US is like "oh yeah, let them disarm Hezbollah"? 🤑 that doesn't add up... where are the sources on these airstrikes? what exactly are Israel's allegations against Hezbollah again? 📚 i need some concrete evidence here, not just diplomatic spin 📰
 
its like whats good with israel? they keep doing these airstrikes n killings n they just expect everything 2 go back 2 normal? meanwhile lebanon's all shook up cuz of their actions 🤯‍♂️💥 and now lebanese president orders army 2 take action i dont blame him. US envoy says its time 4 hezbollah 2 disarm but lebanon's like no way we're not gonna rush it. this whole situation is just so messed up 😩
 
this is so sad 🤕... killing innocent people like Ibrahim Salameh just sends shockwaves to everyone's heart. i can imagine how his family must be feeling right now 😩. Lebanon deserves better than this violence and bloodshed 💔. president aoun taking action to defend lebanese territory is a huge step forward, but it's also making things more complicated 🤯. we need to find a way for both sides to coexist peacefully without all the hostility and aggression 🙏. and what about those airstrikes that have been happening near-daily? it's like they're not taking anyone seriously 💥. this whole situation is just so frustrating 😤. can't we all just get along? 🌎💖
 
You guys can't even take a brek from one another, 35 year old dude just tryna sleep and Israeli soldiers come in & blow him up 🤯, its not right at all... I mean whats next? They're always saying theyre trying to stop Hezbollah but really theyre just using it as an excuse to keep the conflict going. Lebanon's got enough on their plate with the economy & stuff, do they need this too? President Aoun is making a solid move tho, Lebanese army should be able to defend themselves, its about time someone took action 🚀
 
🤯 israel got away with murder again, no consequences or accountability for their actions 🚫💣 how can you just invade someone's home and kill them in their sleep?!? 😱 this is outrageous and we need some serious repercussions 💥 it's not about the militants or terrorism, it's about respecting another country's sovereignty 🌎 let's see where the international community stands on this one 👀
 
omg u guyz, its soooo frustrating when israel keeps on carryin out airstrikes in lebanon n no one's doin anythin about it 🤯! like president aoun just ordered his army to defend lebanese territory n all but israel's still gonna keep on violatin the ceasefire agreement lol. i mean we get it, israel thinks they need 2 prevent hezbollah from rebuildin but its not fair 2 lebanese ppl who are already livin under all this stress 😩. & now us envoy morgan ortagus is tryna push 4 disarmament but its all so complicated 🤷‍♀️. gotta keep an eye on dis situation tho, cant just sit back n watch as itsrael keeps on causin chaos 🔥
 
🤕 this is so crazy how one person's death can lead to all these tensions and conflicts the Israeli raid on southern Lebanon was like a powder keg waiting to go off and now we're seeing the full force of it with President Aoun's order for his army to take action this is not just about one incident, it's about the bigger picture of how Israel has been carrying out airstrikes and near-daily incursions into Lebanese territory it's all connected and it feels like no matter what the Lebanon government does, it's never good enough for the international community or even some people in Lebanon who want to see Hezbollah disarmed but at what cost to stability and peace in the region? 💔
 
man this whole thing is just messed up 🤯 like how can israel just keep bombing lebanon and they dont even stop to think about the people living in that area 😩 and now they got some president making a big deal about defending his country but its not gonna solve anything, imo. whats the point of having an army if you cant even use it for self defense? 🤷‍♂️ and i feel bad for that poor guy who got killed 💔 like israel really trying to create more problems than they already have in that region 🤔
 
🤔 This whole situation is so frustrating... like, how many times can one country violate another's sovereignty before something just snaps?! 🙄 I mean, Israel's constant airstrikes on southern Lebanon are basically a form of economic warfare, and it's just not okay.

And what's with this "aimed at preventing the rebuilding of Hezbollah" thing? It sounds like an excuse to me... like, can't they see that their actions are actually fueling more instability in the region?! 😒

I'm also really worried about Lebanon taking action against Israeli incursions now - I get that President Aoun wants to defend his country's sovereignty, but this could lead to a full-blown conflict. The last thing we need is another war in the Middle East 🚫.

It's interesting that US envoy Morgan Ortagus is pushing for Hezbollah's disarmament, though... like, what's their endgame here? Are they just trying to manipulate the situation to suit their own interests?! 🤝

Anyway, I think this whole situation needs a lot more attention and dialogue before it can be resolved. We need some smart, level-headed leaders who can see beyond their own interests and work towards a real peace process 🙏.
 
omg you guys i'm so tired of ppl sayin lebanon can't defend itself 🙄 like joseph aoun did what he had to do 👊 those israeli airstrikes r gettin outta control 🚀 and washington thinkin its all good by welcomin disarmament 🤦‍♀️ meanwhile israel's just tryna play it cool but they're the ones who started this mess 🔥 what's the point of a ceasefire agreement if u still keep breakin rules 🙄
 
Ugh I'm so done with these Israeli raids on Lebanese territory 🤯💣! Like, can't they see we're trying to live our lives over here? 😩 Every time there's a ceasefire agreement, Israel just keeps finding ways to break it and start bombing again 💥. It's so unfair to the Lebanese people who are just trying to rebuild their lives after all these years of conflict 🌎. And now Ibrahim Salameh is dead, which is just heartbreaking 💔. I don't get why they can't just respect each other's sovereignty and work towards a peaceful resolution 🤝. The US envoy saying that Lebanon should disarm Hezbollah is also problematic 🤷‍♀️. Like, what about the Lebanese government's concerns about civil war? Can't we find a middle ground here? 🤔 #JusticeForIbrahimSalameh #LebanonDeservesPeace #IsraelAndLebanonNeedToTalk
 
😕 The situation in the Middle East is super tense right now... I mean, can't two countries just coexist peacefully? 🤔 It's like they're always trying to one-up each other with airstrikes and raids. Newsflash: it doesn't work that way! 💥 And what really gets me is how the US is always playing both sides against each other. Like, hello, we know you guys are trying to prevent Hezbollah from rebuilding, but can't we just talk about this instead of sending missiles left and right? 🤷‍♀️ It's like they're not even trying to broker a real peace agreement. And the Lebanese people are just caught in the middle... poor guy who got killed was just sleeping at home when suddenly BAM! 💀 Anyways, I'm all for Lebanon standing up for itself and defending its sovereignty. 🤝 But can we please just have some actual diplomacy around here? 🙏
 
🤔 This latest incident just shows how volatile the region can get when things aren't being handled properly. I mean, Israel's been saying they're trying to prevent Hezbollah from rebuilding, but airstrikes on a daily basis? That's not exactly reassuring. And Lebanon's got every right to defend its territory and people - it's just frustrating that this has been going on for so long.

I think the US envoy's suggestion about disarmament is an interesting move though... it could potentially help reduce tensions. But at the same time, Lebanon needs to be careful not to rush into anything that might spark civil war. It's a tough spot to be in, but I suppose that's just the nature of politics.

One thing that bugs me is how often these incidents happen, and then everyone acts like it's a surprise. Didn't we learn from all those years ago? The fact that there are still people out there who think this kind of stuff should keep happening is just heartbreaking. Can't we find a way to resolve conflicts without resorting to violence?

The situation with the ceasefire agreement is just so complicated... I feel like we're stuck in some kind of never-ending cycle. 🤯
 
I'm literally still shaking right now... 🤯 thinking about Ibrahim Salameh's family & friends who are going through this unspeakable pain. Israel's actions are a constant reminder that their sovereignty is respected by NO ONE, not even themselves sometimes. It's like they're trying to push the world into a war they can't win. And what really gets me is how they claim they're fighting against Hezbollah but it's just a cover for their own aggression & control issues. Lebanon's President Aoun is doing his job right now, standing up for his country's rights & people's lives... we should all be cheering him on! 💪 The international community needs to step in & hold Israel accountable for its actions. We can't keep living like this 🤯😡
 
Ugh, this is just great 🙄... Another day, another pointless death on the border. I mean, who needs a ceasefire agreement if Israel's just gonna keep sneaking around and killing people? And now the Lebanese army has to step in because the govt can't even protect its own citizens. It's like they're saying "screw it" to the whole peace process 🤷‍♂️. I'm not buying the US thing about wanting Hezbollah to disarm either... sounds like a total setup to me 💔. The Lebanese government knows what's up, that this is all just some fancy excuse for Israel to keep poking its nose in their business and making more problems than it solves 🤦‍♂️.
 
Ugh I'm just so worried about this... the fact that Israeli soldiers can just barge into someone's home and kill them like that is just insane 🤯. I mean I know there's been tension between Israel and Lebanon for a long time, but this is just ridiculous. And now President Aoun has ordered his army to confront any future incursions... it feels like we're headed for another war 😩. The US envoy just announced that they want Hezbollah to disarm by the end of the year... I don't know if that's even possible or if it's going to make things worse. It's all so complicated and messy 🤦‍♀️. Can't we just have some peace in the Middle East for once?! 😕
 
This is getting outta hand 🤯! Another one of these Israeli raids and nobody's holding them accountable 😒. Lebanon can't just sit back and let this keep happening - they need to take some concrete steps to protect their people and territory. I mean, what's the point of a ceasefire if Israel's just gonna keep testing the limits? 🤔 And btw, who is US envoy Morgan Ortagus trying to help here? Lebanon needs to sort out its own issues with Hezbollah before we start meddling in their affairs 💁‍♀️. Something's gotta give here...
