‘They want to create a rift’: Israeli attacks deepen Lebanon fissures
Al Jazeera·2h ago·Fear
What Happened
Israeli attacks killed three Christians in Beirut Sunday, including Lebanese Forces member Pierre Moawad. Overall, 1,500 people have died in Israeli strikes since March, displacing 1.2 million. Lebanon faces growing internal divisions, with some blaming Israel and others blaming Hezbollah. Experts say Israel may be deliberately creating rifts between Lebanese communities. A ceasefire nominally exists since November 2024, though violations continue.
