What Visual Evidence Tells Us About Israel’s Use of White Phosphorus in Lebanon

The Israeli military has deployed white phosphorus, an incendiary substance that can be extremely harmful, over populated areas in Lebanon in its battle against Hezbollah, according to experts, aid groups and visual evidence collected by The New York Times.

Distinctive smoke trails from this type of munition were seen as recently as May 30 in Nabatieh, a city of roughly 40,000, in social media footage verified by The Times, which was filmed as Israeli forces captured Beaufort Castle, a landmark in the area.

Based on Mr. Aoun‘s comments, one would think it‘s Iran that has occupied 1/5 of Lebanon, displaced 1/4 of Lebanese and bombing his country on daily basis. Had Lebanon been bargaining chip for Iran, we‘d have a deal long ago.

„Lavender“: Die KI-Maschine, die Israels Bombardements in Gaza steuert (Teil 1)

Zusätzliche automatisierte Systeme, darunter eines namens „Where’s Daddy“, das hier ebenfalls erstmals enthüllt wird, wurden speziell eingesetzt, um die Zielpersonen aufzuspüren und Bombenangriffe durchzuführen, wenn diese die Wohnhäuser ihrer Familien betreten hatten.

Das Ergebnis war, wie die Quellen bezeugten, dass Tausende Palästinenser – die meisten davon Frauen und Kinder oder Menschen, die nicht an den Kämpfen beteiligt waren – „aufgrund der Entscheidungen des KI-Programms“ durch israelische Luftangriffe ausgelöscht wurden, insbesondere in den ersten Wochen des Krieges.

„Wir waren nicht daran interessiert, [Hamas-]Aktivisten nur dann zu töten, wenn sie sich in einem Militärgebäude befanden oder an einer militärischen Aktivität beteiligt waren“, erklärte A., ein Geheimdienstoffizier, gegenüber +972 und Local Call. „Im Gegenteil, die IDF bombardierte sie ohne zu zögern in ihren Häusern, als erste Option. Es ist viel einfacher, das Haus einer Familie zu bombardieren. Das System ist konzipiert, um sie in solchen Situationen aufzufinden.“

Die „Lavender“-Maschine ergänzt ein anderes KI-System, „The Gospel“. Informationen darüber wurden in einer früheren Untersuchung von +972 und Local Call im November 2023 sowie in den eigenen Veröffentlichungen des israelischen Militärs bekannt. Ein grundlegender Unterschied zwischen den beiden Systemen liegt in der Definition des Ziels: Während „The Gospel“ Gebäude und Strukturen markiert, von denen aus laut Armee Militante operieren, markiert „Lavender“ Menschen – und setzt sie auf eine Tötungsliste.

“You Either Leave Right Now or You Die”—Israel’s Ethnic Cleansing of a Village in Lebanon

The forced expulsion of Ain Arab—where Israeli soldiers went door to door, forcing residents from their homes at gunpoint—was a striking example of the Israeli military’s campaign to ethnically cleanse villages across southern Lebanon. Human rights advocates and locals told Drop Site they hadn’t heard of a similar incident occurring in this latest phase of the war—the Israeli military typically bombs and shells areas to forcibly displace residents. Over 1.2 million people have been displaced in Lebanon since March 2, and many have no idea if or when they will be able to return to their homes.

Southern Lebanon: Death, injury and significant damage after Israeli airstrike in Sour (Tyre)

MSF condemns the airstrike carried out by the Israeli army on the evening of 1 June in the vicinity of Jabal Amel Hospital, which we support, in Sour (Tyre). According to the Ministry of Public Health, the attack has so far resulted in four deaths and 127 injuries, including 39 hospital staff. Among the injured staff, four are in critical condition and remain under treatment in intensive care. Bodies are still being recovered from the rubble, and the total number of dead and injured could still rise.

The strike caused severe damage to Jabal Amel Hospital itself, including its inpatient department, radiology department and intensive care unit. One wall of an operating room has been severely damaged, leaving a large hole, and the medical team had to urgently transfer half of the remaining patients in the intensive care unit to another ward to ensure their safety.

‘To call it a ceasefire is a joke‘: Israeli soldiers share rare accounts from Gaza with AP

(May 30, 2026)

The Israeli combat soldier saw his teammates yelling in celebration, congratulating one another. They had just struck a vehicle of Palestinians driving near the Israeli-controlled part of the Gaza Strip, killing everyone inside.

The reservist said scenes like this had become common after a fragile ceasefire took effect in October. In the weeks he was stationed in Gaza, he said, he saw soldiers relishing the chance to go after those who crossed — or came close to crossing — the so-called yellow line that divides the strip into Israeli-controlled and Palestinian areas.

“It was a jungle,” the soldier, in his 20s, told The Associated Press. “After the ceasefire, the order was: If someone crosses the line, you shoot them.”

Kämpfe im Libanon: Israels Armee meldet Einnahme der Burg Beaufort

Israelische Soldaten seien „auf den Gipfel von Beaufort zurückgekehrt und haben dort erneut die israelische Flagge gehisst“, erklärte Verteidigungsminister Israel Katz. Er bezog sich dabei auf die frühere Einnahme der Burg durch Israel im Libanonkrieg 1982. Israelische Truppen hatten die Kreuzfahrerburg damals eingenommen und als Stützpunkt genutzt. Erst im Jahr 2000 bei ihrem Abzug aus dem Libanon zogen sie sich von dort wieder zurück.
