Al Jazeera, owned by the extremely rich Qatar, just dumped 25 of the most at-risk journalists in the world during a genocide that has directly targeted more journalists than most states since WWII combined.

Al Jazeera’s outlets ended their collaboration with 25 journalists, photographers and contributors in Gaza. What’s the story behind this decision?

Twenty years after the 2006 July War, we revisit a selection of drawings from Mazen Kerbaj’s visual diary “Beirut Will Not Cry: Lebanon’s July War,” published by Snoubar Bayrout. Two decades later, some realities remain unchanged.

Israel's bombing campaign in Lebanon may have eased a little, but the effects of displacement and loss do not stop there. Ali and his family's home was destroyed by Israel 2 years ago. Donate to his new GFM and send a message of support. gofund.me/2e2e84c09

Not a Bond fan, but this is literally what the villain does in James Bond’s Die Another Day, except in this case its the US and not North Korea. You can’t make this shit up.

I’m sure there will be no horrifying consequences as a result of the Trump regime authorizing the launch of ominously Tolkien-named satellites capable of illuminating 5 to 6 kilometer-wide swaths of the earth at night: www.wired.com/story/reflec...

Mona Khalil spent over 20 years protecting sea turtles on Mansouri Beach. After she was injured in an Israeli attack, activists continued her initiative at Rmeileh Beach, where they protected the first loggerhead nest of 73 eggs on Thursday. youtu.be/fbBKzK4JNRc

Good reporting from Israeli-occupied south Lebanon. Israel is killing medics, disappearing agricultural workers, letting livestock starve to death and levelling entire buildings. Pregnant women travel increasingly longer and more dangerous roads to find hospitals. www.972mag.com/israeli-occu...

People flee historic district of ancient city after airstrikes hit residential areas and damage archaeological sites

On Friday, Israel threatened eight towns in the Saida district, in a clear move to displace wider areas of South Lebanon.

Israel escalated its targeting of rescue teams and the Lebanese Army in the South on Wednesday. The Army Command announced the death of conscript Omar Khodor, who was targeted in an Israeli strike while traveling on the Nabatieh–Kfar Tebnit road. 1/🧵

Israel just hit an apartment in Beirut's suburbs for the first time in a few weeks. Just the second time since the alleged ceasefire went into effect.

Images out of Gaza and Lebanon are horrific. Last night a Palestinian family living in south Lebanon told me they can’t keep living like this -war, displacement, death of neighbors or community members. One woman said she’d reached the point where “Death is better than life.”

Today marks 500 days of Dr Hussam Abu Safiya’s cruel arbitrary detention by Israeli authorities. He was arrested after approaching an Israeli tank that was storming Kamal Adwan Hospital - which at the time was the last functioning hospital in North Gaza & the hospital Dr Safiya is the director of.

I put a lot into this video essay cause I've got a lot at stake. Israel is trying to destroy my country, where all my family and friends live. In fact, I left home because of Israel, because I saw all of this coming. Its obvious if you know where to look. I explain all here: youtu.be/Dkcwc0XfvTk

Glad to see that Megaphone News is finally on Bluesky! Most of the video reports you’ve seen me share from Lebanon have been by them. If you want solid, independent and leftwing news and analysis from Lebanon, give them a follow. @megaphonenews.bsky.social

Hey folks, I have updated this pack to include @megaphonenews.bsky.social, one of the best local lebanese news sources that should keep you updated on the ongoing war on Lebanon.

As a way to spread the word about the various Lebanese mutual aids that support all those affected by the ongoing Israeli war and occupation of Lebanon, I thought I'd share a bunch of contemporary Levantine musicians who are popular among my Beirut peeps, a thread 🧵

This seems to be the most recent update of the death toll in Lebanon following today’s Israeli strikes

🇱🇧🔴112 people killed in Israeli strikes today across Lebanon, mostly in Beirut. 837 wounded. This is the latest and not the final count from Lebanon's health ministry, in one of the deadliest days of the ongoing war between Israel and Hezbollah.

Lebanese social affairs minister tells me moments after widespread Israeli attacks in central Beirut: - Lebanon wants a seat at the negotiating table to end war. President & prime minister are ready & making calls. - Widespread incl areas where 10,000s of displaced people are sheltered
