Israel’s latest attack on Lebanon represents an expansion of its Dahiya doctrine which intentionally targets civilians to send a political message.

Summary by brave leo :

  • An attack in Lebanon, targeting personal electronics of Hezbollah members, has resulted in significant casualties.

  • The attack is widely believed to be carried out by Israel, but Western media such as The New York Times present it as a targeted operation with low risk to non-Hezbollah members.

  • The attack is part of Israel’s Dahiya Doctrine, which involves disproportionate force on any enemy village, causing significant damage and terror.

  • This doctrine was applied in the 2008-9 Gaza onslaught and the 2006 war in Lebanon, leading to accusations of deliberate harm to civilians.

  • The recent Gaza onslaught is seen as a full-blown implementation of this doctrine, leading to genocide.

  • The international community has criticized Israel’s use of booby-trapped objects, which is considered illegal and unacceptable under a global treaty.
