Israel to destroy ‘all houses’ near Lebanon border, defence minister says

"We're totally the good guys"

Israel and the US are just out there, war criming like there's no tomorrow. But there will be a tomorrow.

Man, if I had a home and some d***** canoe from another country came by, declared my home is in their “buffer zone” and destroyed it…I’d be pretty pissed.

The irony of Israel invading neighbors seeking lebensraum

Anyone else remember when Germany started taking land before WW2 and the strategy was to just let them have it and appeal to them and ask nicely that they don’t take anymore land? Yeah this is the same thing.

Why doesn't Israel just make the buffer zone on their own side of the border? It would be a lot less illegal if they did.

> Israel will destroy all homes in Lebanese villages near the border and 600,000 people who fled the south will not be allowed home until northern Israel is secure, the defence minister said on Tuesday, vowing to inflict Gaza-like destruction in the area. So, another permanent occupation?

Israel to commit more genocide, says Israel as the world continues to allow it.

That's a horrible headline. It's all houses *in Lebanon* near the Israel border

The Epstein axes at it again.

And they wonder why people don't like them.

What Russia did to Ukraine: 1. Partially invade a country. 2. Attack and drive out citizens from that area. 3. Try to claim the territory as a necessary 'buffer zone'. I would hope that we don't act the same as Russia did to Ukraine.

If they want a buffer, why don't they use their own territory ?

Words cannot describe how fucked up Israel is.

I don’t like you and I’m going to burn your house down and might even kill you

If Israel wants a buffer zone, I don't understand why they can't create one within their own borders. If I have a beef with my neighbor, I'm not taking part of his yard to create a buffer between us.

They’re also destroying buildings in Beirut just for funsies

Can everyone just stop blowing everything up already

Just a little “living space”

Katz has already gone on record as saying they will follow the same playbook as Gaza.

Seems to me there is a term for this...ah yes, I remember now "war crime"

Genociders love to do genocide, ethnic cleansing, etc.

No matter the politics, civilians shouldn’t pay the price 😔

Straight up evil, bankrolled and supported by the US. At what point do we say enough is enough?

What is the end game? What is the goal?

Israel and Trump just announce war crimes like it's nothing.

You know it’s not antisemitism to hate someone because they are horrible and do horrible things.

So, they need to ethnically cleanse a region of $1M people to make it safe for their people in the north, who already ethnically cleansed another group of people to be there in the first place? This doesn't stop does it? and then what, annex and colonize that new region, and then require a new security zone to protect those? It's as if all those lives don't matter and only theirs do, there's a word for that no?

Destroy stuff -> radicalise victims -> use radicals to justifying destroying more stuff......

Good old ethnic cleaning, from a nation that should know better.

How most incredibly moral, justifiable, and in accordance with international law this sounds! /s

Geoncidal nation just doing genocidal things.

Sounds like another war crime to me.

Isn't that a war crime, destroying civilian housing?

F Israel, that's right, come and get me goon squad.

Where is the global condemnation?

guess you could say they’re cleansing the area so ethnic Lebanese can’t return. They should make a name for that one day.

That's what is known as crimes against humanity. And Israel insists that it needs to defend itself. Gee, I wonder why Lebanese people would want to attack them.

When will this end when will they be stopped

*Israel will destroy all homes in Lebanese villages near the border and 600,000 people who fled the south will not be allowed home until northern Israel is secure, the defence minister said on Tuesday,* ***vowing to inflict Gaza-like destruction in the area.*** *“All houses in villages near the Lebanese border will be destroyed, in accordance with the model used in Rafah and Beit Hanoun in Gaza, in order to permanently remove the threats near the border to northern residents,” he said.* *Tom Dannenbaum, a law professor at Stanford Law School, said the laws of war require that any controlled demolition of homes be justified by “absolute military necessity,” adding that destroying all homes near the border would not meet that standard. “The unnecessary destruction of property can qualify as a war crime,” he said.* *Dannenbaum added that Katz’s comments barring residents from returning home “strongly indicate an illegal policy of long-term or permanent displacement.”* Grabbing others land and killing lots of civilians always leads to security for the country that does that. Israel is already occupying part of Syria which it helped itself to in 2024 and 2025.

Why don’t they do it on their side of the border

"We've had one yes, but what about second genocide?"

"Wait, are we the baddies? I mean our hats have skulls and crossbones on them ..."

And they wonder why the region has become more radical. Hopefully, the expansion will stop and peace will be allowed.

Now you know why hezbollah exists

This is what Russia says it needs to do in Ukraine, by the way - create a buffer zone for its own security.

Oh, look, more ethnic cleansing. Who could have seen that coming? /s

The genocide in Gaza wasn't enough for these terrorists...

BTW israel is invading southern Lebanon so they can claim the natural gas resources which are off its southern shore later.

Israel is a Terrorist State

Now watch sick fucks defend this bullshit.

And they wonder why no one likes them. Maybe the problem is you

Wonder what would happen if a nuclear country steps in. Like, the US will fold, right???

And my country will continue to just call them "Settlers" instead of what they actually are. Sick

I bet 'the only democracy in the middle east' will murder the usual children as well...

Why would Lebanon do this to themselves?!

Hey we're gonna specifically target civilians. You know, that thing we were doing before but at least were lying about.

If you resist this you are a medic.... a child... I mean a terrorist

More land grabbing. And the world looks on. Why?

These cowards are going to genocide Lebanon and then let Americans die in Iran without setting a boot on the ground.

On both sides or just Lebanons side? I'd believe they are actually focusing on protecting themselves if they sacrificed on their side too instead of just pushing their neighbors away 

Ethnic cleansing, Israel's raison d'etre it seems.

What military is using those houses?

Don’t worry, I am sure they will be doing it in the most moral way 🙃

I hope to live to see the day this horrible country tears itself apart.

This is getting expensive. We're going to have to increase our foreign aid to our beleaguered ally, Israel.

Existing is apparently a capital offense to the IDF.

The Israel Defense Forces is more like the Israel Offense Forces.

The idea is to build a "buffer zone." A buffer zone is needed to keep Israel away from Lebanon >:( Netanyahu is just another putin.

They have set themselves up for multigenerational revenge over there. Can’t build a golden big enough
