Israeli forces committed a massacre against civilians in the southern Lebanese city of Bint Jbeil. Two siblings from the Dagher family, a brother and sister, were killed, and their other sister was critically injured when their home was hit by two airstrikes, leading to its complete destruction.

Emergency response teams, including paramedics, civil defense units, the Islamic Scout Association, and the Islamic Health Authority, are actively working to clear the rubble from the destroyed home. All three were transported to a nearby hospital.

In the wake of the attack, the spokesperson for the municipality of the northern Israeli settlement of Kiryat Shmona underlined urged settlers to be cautious in light of "today's events", asking them to remain close to bomb shelters.

The repeat aggression on civilians can only come off as muscle flexing, and that was called out by The Washington Post, which stressed that the current situation does not allow "Israel" to go to war with Hezbollah although it keeps saying it is ready for any scenario with Lebanon.

Since October 8, the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon has been conducting operations against the Israeli occupation in response to the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

Hezbollah has declared that its strikes are aimed at pressuring "Israel" to cease its war on Gaza, repeatedly confirming that the attacks will cease once the aggression against Gaza ends.

On the other hand, the entity has yet to "eliminate" the Resistance group Hamas, one of the war's alleged goals, while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has not introduced an exit plan, the WaPo noted.

Meanwhile, keeping in mind "Israel's" failure to achieve its military objectives in Gaza, Hezbollah represents a far greater threat to the occupation entity, the report said. The Lebanese Resistance group stands as a "better-armed and more-professional foe" than the Palestinian Resistance in Gaza, the outlet said, citing experts.

Despite the public threats against the group on the northern border, voices within the entity are expressing fears that its forces are exhausted and its resources are depleted as it continues to fight its longest war in decades.

According to the newspaper, "Israel" has been devising plans for a war on Lebanon for months now.

Former war cabinet member Benny Gantz revealed that following a Hezbollah missile attack that killed two Israelis last week, he and others urged Netanyahu to approve an Israeli incursion into southern Lebanon in March.

However, Netanyahu "hesitated", said Gantz, adding that the premier wouldn't even commit to ensuring Israeli settlers could return to northern settlements by September 1, the beginning of the new school year.
