One of Hezbollah's senior commanders has been killed by an Israeli air strike in southern Lebanon, further escalating tensions between the two sides. It comes as the federal government has passed a motion in parliament to officially recognise Palestine in a two-state solution for the war in Gaza.
One of Hezbollah's senior commanders has been killed by an Israeli air strike in southern Lebanon, further escalating tensions between the two sides. It comes as the federal government has passed a motion in parliament to officially recognise Palestine in a two-state solution for the war in Gaza.Hezbollah have confirmed the death of one of their senior commanders in southern Lebanon, following an Israeli air strike in the area.
There have been attempts by the global community to de-escalate the situation at Israel's border with Lebanon due to fears that it could escalate to an all-out war.Yesterday, the Israeli military ordered all people to evacuate from the Khan Younis region, which has an estimated population of around 250,000 people.
Mr De Domenico says the evacuation order has put another road block in attempts to establish a corridor for the provision of humanitarian aid into Gaza. The proposal is said to include the release of the remaining hostages held by Hamas as one of its key features. "Let's be very, very, very clear about this. Every time Israel carries out a massacre, every time Israel kills Palestinian men, women and children, and then they look around the world and they don't receive a single sanction, a single sanction to stop, they are emboldened and they keep acting. This motion is a joke. It is a joke. As part of a peace process. What peace process? Israel is carrying out a genocide. Israel is carrying out a genocide in Gaza. It's not a peace process.
