Israel’s attack on Beirut on Sunday murdered and maimed dozens of civilians in a blatant breach of its supposed year-old ceasefire with Lebanon, bombing a whole apartment block to kill a single Hezbollah official – a ceasefire that it has breached constantly throughout its duration, including murdering thirteen civilians in its bombing of a Palestinian refugee camp inside Lebanon last week.
The occupation has also seized territory in southern Lebanon in a clear demonstration of its intent to occupy territory despite its ceasefire obligations.
But as historian and author Assal Rad spotted, readers of ‘mainstream’ media would have no clue about any of this context:

As Rad commented:
Look at how they frame this without any mention of a CEASEFIRE. They make it sound like a targeted strike without saying Israel bombed a residential building with civilians all around, or questioning it under international law.
They’re not reporting it, they’re justifying it.
Israel has used the same tactics repeatedly, in Gaza and then in Lebanon – where it murdered more than six hundred people to kill Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, a fact also grossly under-reported by the ‘MSM’. It has never honoured a ceasefire, just as it is now murdering innocents daily in Gaza, and starving and freezing all those who survive except the criminal gangs it has long funded.
