Hezbollah: 250 Missiles Land on Israel in One Day

CROSSFIREARABIA – It’s being described as a black day as 250 Hezbollah missiles land on Israel from southern Lebanon in under 24 hours.

For Israel, it’s a first nation-wide alert with 24th November, 2024 likely to be remembered as one of the most difficult days between the Israeli army and Hezbollah fighters.

Over 250 missiles have landed on different parts of Israel including Naharya, Acca, Haifa, Beith Takfah, West Galilee, Krayot, HaSharon, Herzilya, Tel Aviv and the port of Ashdod, bordering Gaza, which is 150 kilometers away from Tel Aviv.

It speaks much about the encroachment of the so-called “Israeli depth” that today lies bare with Hamas in the south and Hezbollah in the north.

This is being described as “unprecedented” in a wide set of attacks covering at least half of Israel and is trending on the social media with its continual updates.

It began on early Sunday morning, after Israeli warplanes bombed the southern district of Beirut leading to many deaths and injuries.

The rockets on northern Israel that included military bases near Tel Aviv had been climbing from 150 missiles, some of who are ballistic to 170 with the latest figure standing at 200 and 250 and set to increase.

Damages and fires is being reported in the Israeli media with at least 10 people being injured but this is being described as the “war of missiles.”

With these projectiles landing on Israel daily – they increased in intensity when Israeli decided to stage its air and land war on Lebanon last September with the killing of Hezbollah’s Chief Hassan Nasrallah, the escalation on the Jewish state have continued daily.

The only people that seems to be affected by this are civilians. Whilst Israel’s war on Lebanon have displaced 1.4 million people in the south of the country, hundreds of thousands of Israelis have also been displaced from their homes and living in sheltered accommodation.

But apart from that up to two million Israelis in central Israel and the Tel Aviv conurbation have been “running up-and-down” between underground shelters.

Today sirens dominate the Israeli scene, going on and off on all hours of the day, at night, early mornings, when people are asleep and during the day.

The rockets, missiles, sirens have made life so unbearable that life has changed dramatically with hundreds thousands already left the country and many more thousands are thinking of actively getting out.

Today, the atmosphere in Israel – never been experienced before and judged from the siren blasts at 401 sound alerts in 11 regions – is tense and downright frightful, a bit like Gaza or the southern district of Beirut. Its no longer the place its original founders intended it to be.

The new message is “you can’t enjoy yoursleves while living on the lands of another people; all must suffer the consequences.  Israelis are realizing that. Their way out is through the congested Ben Gurion Airport which is topsy-turvy shutdown due to the daily missiles and drones.

Reshida Tlaib Sweeps in Polls

From Mahmoud Alghoul

Rashida Tlaib sweeps her opponents in Michigan elections… and proudly proclaims her roots and family: “A big part of my strength comes from being Palestinian.”

“I am proud to be a Palestinian American, and a big part of my strength comes from being Palestinian,” Rashida Tlaib said, speaking about her Palestinian identity and heritage. She recalled her mother, who hails from a small village in the West Bank, and her grandmother and relatives in Palestine who have followed her political journey closely.

When she first won her seat in the US Congress, she said she wanted to amplify the voices of families in her district while remaining true to her Palestinian roots, emphasizing that her Palestinian identity was a significant source of strength.

For Tlaib, Palestine was not merely a family background she mentioned on occasion; it remained a constant presence in her political discourse. In 2019, she stated that she had never felt as Palestinian as she did within the halls of Congress, explaining that her presence in Washington had made her Palestinian identity more visible and pronounced. Rashida Tlaib, the Palestinian-American Democratic congresswoman, secured a resounding victory in the Michigan Democratic primary, thus clinching her party’s nomination for the general congressional elections scheduled for November.

This decisive win reflects the confidence Tlaib enjoys within her 12th Congressional District in Michigan, a district encompassing diverse communities and a broad base of support from Arab and Muslim communities, as well as progressives.

According to official results, Tlaib swept the race, garnering 73.9% of the Democratic vote, a significant lead over her closest rivals: former state legislator Chanel Jackson, who received 16.8%, and Inkster Mayor Byron Nolen, who received 9.2%.

This victory carries political significance beyond simply securing Tlaib’s nomination. It represents a new test of the strength of the progressive wing within the Democratic Party and reflects continued support for her positions on social justice, human rights, and foreign policy, particularly regarding the Palestinian issue. Tlaib is not only the first Palestinian-American woman elected to Congress, but she has also made her Palestinian roots an open part of her political identity. In previous statements, she spoke about her grandmother, who lives in the West Bank, and her emotional connection to Palestine. She also said that while Palestinians she knew in her family’s homeland saw her as American, her Palestinian identity felt more prominent within the U.S. Congress.

Rashida Tlaib is scheduled to face Republican candidate James Hooper in the upcoming general election in November, and given the nature and composition of her district, her chances of retaining her seat for another term appear favorable.

‘We Are Still Here – Gaza’

From Sameer Kafina

Gaza… When Survival Becomes an Achievement

In Gaza, survival is no longer a given.

Waking up in the morning, finding water, getting a meal, searching for a safe place for your children, opening your eyes to find your loved ones still by your side… things that were once ordinary details in people’s lives have now become an achievement worth telling.

Those of us who live far from the war may not realize what it means for “tomorrow” itself to become a wish.

In Gaza, there are people who don’t ask for a life of luxury, nor grand dreams. All they want is for another night to pass without loss, for their children to find something to eat, for a roof over their heads to remain, and for them to be able to say in the morning: We are still here.

And perhaps this is why we shouldn’t see the people of Gaza only as victims.

They are also people resisting life itself; trying to preserve their families, what remains of their homes, their children, and some semblance of life amidst all this devastation.

We may not see this struggle in pictures.

But it happens every day. A woman tries to prepare a meal with what little she has left, a father searches for water, a child tries to laugh, and a family tries to sleep despite the fear.

These are not small details.

In a place where death is so close, clinging to life becomes an act of resistance.

Gaza doesn’t just need us to remember its dead.

It also needs us to remember its living… who try every morning to tell the world:

We are still here.
