Since last October, the Israeli airstrikes on Lebanon have killed 1,873 people and wounded 9,134, the Lebanese Ministry of Health's Emergency Response Center said on Tuesday.

"The death toll since the beginning of the events has reached 1,873, with 9,134 civilians injured," according to the announcement.

The Israeli occupation continues its brutal aggression on Lebanon for the ninth consecutive day, committing further massacres against civilians by destroying residential buildings in the South, Beqaa, and Beirut's Southern Suburb.

In the latest massacre in the South, 10 people were killed and several others were injured in an Israeli attack on the town of al-Dawoudiya.

The Intercept reported on Tuesday that more than 1 million people in Lebanon have reportedly been displaced as "Israel" escalates its bombing across the country and chose to enter a new phase on Friday with the assassination of Hezbollah's Secretary-General, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.

Israeli airstrikes have devastated entire residential buildings in and around Beirut, resulting in hundreds of martyrs, according to Lebanese authorities.

As "Israel" plans a possible "limited" invasion of southern Lebanon, it continues its heavy bombardment of Gaza.

While President Joe Biden stated on Monday that "Israel" should not enter Lebanon, his administration continues to provide weapons and political support that facilitate "Israel’s" barbaric actions.

On Thursday, "Israel" announced it had secured $8.7 billion in military aid from the United States, with $3.5 billion already dispatched. Reports also indicated that the 2,000-pound bomb that killed Sayyed Nasrallah was US-made, despite the US pausing shipments of that type back in May. Meanwhile, progressives are increasing their calls for the White House to take a firm stance against "Israel’s" escalation, starting with a halt to arms sales.

US complicit in illegal Israeli attacks 

An Amnesty International investigation revealed that US-made munitions and components were used in at least four unlawful attacks by Israeli forces, resulting in the deaths and injuries of numerous Palestinian civilians. The report indicated that none of these incidents occurred near military targets, and many of the victims were children.

"What we have seen time and time again is that US-origin weapons are being used inconsistent with international law and potentially in war crimes," said Klasing. "And the US has to make a calculus whether or not it actually believes in an international legal system to protect civilians or not, and right now, it is sending a message to the world … that it is not going to hold security partners to account for the way they use their US-origin weapons." 

Sarah Yager, Washington director at Human Rights Watch, emphasized that beyond the clear moral obligations, there is also a strategic case for the US to refrain from supplying additional weapons to Israel.

"The rule of law is something that the United States has said that it stands forever since its founding," Yager said, "and the United States currently is breaking its own laws by supporting Israel with weapons, which has an extraordinarily long-term impact."
