‘Zero Hour’ For Invasion of South Lebanon Starts

The Israeli war cabinet has approved the invasion of southern Lebanon according to different media sources.

Military expert Major-General Fayez al-Duwairi said Israel’s talk about its forces opening up to a ground operation in Lebanon means that the incursion is imminent, noting the matter currently depends on determining zero hour, which will necessarily be preceded by preliminary shelling he said on Al Jazeera.

Duwairi added that declaring a closed military zone in northern Israel confirms the need for space for the forces that will carry out the operation.

The Israeli government declared the area of ​​Metula, Misgav Am and Kfar Giladi a closed military zone. Al-Duwairi said that expanding or reducing this area depends on the size of the forces that will be present in it.

“These indicators mean that we are about to begin the ground incursion,” noting that the occupation army always prefers to launch its ground attacks at night so that it can cross the starting line, which is the Blue Line, which is supposed to witness a direct clash, as pointed out in Jo24.

Greek Cypriots Protest UK Bases Role in Israeli Genocide on Gaza

Hundreds of Greek Cypriots protested against the role British bases have played in Israel’s ongoing attacks on the Gaza strip, according to local media.

Lining up outside the base of Akrotiri to demand that the Greek Cypriot administration take action to prevent military action launched from British installations on the East Mediterranean island, protesters held up pro-Palestinian banners and flags.

They chanted, “Out, out, out, British bases out,” and “Freedom in Palestine,” according to the daily Cyprus Mail as reported by Anadolu.

“We are here, right outside the British Air Force airport in Akrotiri, because from here, British spy planes are assisting the occupying Israel in gathering information on the ‘operations’ in Gaza.

“Because, hundreds of tons of bombs and ammunition have passed through here to aid the total destruction of Gaza,” Haris Karamanou, a official of the Progressive Party of Working People (AKEL), told protesters.

In response, a spokesperson for British bases said: “We are deeply concerned by the rising tensions and civilian casualties in Lebanon. No RAF (Royal Air Force) flights have transported lethal cargo to the Israeli Defense Forces.”

Israel has continued its brutal offensive on the Gaza Strip following an attack by the Palestinian group Hamas on Oct. 7 last year, despite a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate cease-fire.

Nearly 41,600 people have since been killed, mostly women and children, and over 96,200 others injured, according to local health authorities.

The Israeli onslaught has displaced almost the entire population of the territory amid an ongoing blockade that has led to severe shortages of food, clean water and medicine.

Israel faces accusations of genocide at the International Court of Justice for its actions in Gaza.

Gaza Education Under Attack

A new study warned that the ongoing war in Gaza could set back children’s education by up to five years, potentially creating a lost generation of traumatized Palestinian youth.

Conducted by academics in partnership with UNRWA, the report revealed that Gaza’s children already lost 14 months of schooling due to COVID-19 and the recent genocide.

Professor Pauline Rose from the University of Cambridge stressed, “Palestinian education is under attack. We must protect this right now.”
