The cancellation of the talks came as Israel and Hezbollah traded their most violent strikes since the ceasefire was established. Hezbollah targeted Israeli forces near the city of Nabatieh, in south Lebanon, with several salvoes of rocket fire and drones overnight after intermittent Israeli shelling throughout Thursday.
The talks had been due to begin in the Swiss village of Obbürgen two days after the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) that opened a 60-day window to negotiate a permanent understanding over Iran’s nuclear programme, while getting oil traffic moving through the strait of Hormuz.
Hezbollah said it was targeting Israeli forces that were trying to advance towards the foothills surrounding Nabatieh – a flashpoint where there has been intermittent fighting since the US-Iran ceasefire was announced. Prior to the truce, Israeli forces were advancing towards the southern Lebanese city.
trade deadly attacks
lol, Eat shit Guardian
“Trade” these headlines are so infuriating, it’s not a trade of blows if it’s on Lebanon, that’s not a “no man’s land” where both sides are victims, that’s an occupied country where Israel is an invader
It would not surprise me in the least to find out that they ordered these soldiers to advance with the idea that them getting attacked just so they could kick off more fighting.
Certainly, and if Hezbollah didn’t retaliate Israel would simply steal more land like they keep doing in Gaza.
Anyone with a bit of sense knew this would happen.
The genociders have never honored any cease fire.
Hezbollah, the largest party in the Lebanese parliament, are defending their country from invaders; “trading violent strikes" is disingenuous.
Its still all market manipulation
