Israel immediately responded with five artillery shells into Lebanon, calling it a "pinpoint response at the source of fire". Correspondents say this is a dangerous moment in the current conflict. The rocket attacks from Lebanon have raised concerns about a wider war in the region, says the BBC's Middle East Editor Jeremy Bowen. But the Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora was swift to condemn th
The hasbara brigade strikes again! You always hear about Israeli attempts at media manipulation. Everyone knows it’s going on but usually the process happens through dedicated volunteers like those involved with Giyus. Now, we know that the Israeli foreign ministry itself is orchestrating propaganda efforts designed to fill news websites with pro-Israel arguments and information. A friend has r
We’re hearing a lot about Israel’s supposed assault on “Hamas targets”, or what Israel – together with the more vulgar of its apologists - likes to term “terrorist infrastructure”. Let’s have a quick - and by no means exhaustive - look at what that phrase in fact refers to. Hospitals, ambulances and medical workers The Guardian (5 January): “…half of Gaza’s ambulances have already been destroyed…”
The only way to make sense of Israel's senseless war in Gaza is through understanding the historical context. Establishing the state of Israel in May 1948 involved a monumental injustice to the Palestinians. British officials bitterly resented American partisanship on behalf of the infant state. On 2 June 1948, Sir John Troutbeck wrote to the foreign secretary, Ernest Bevin, that the Americans wer
The bombing, shelling and shooting will stop one day. The electricity and water will be restored. And the windows of the Mousa family's flat, every one of them blown out by Israeli air force strikes on the Palestinian president's palace next door, will be replaced. But the trauma of the four Mousa children, aged three to nine years old, will not so easily be erased. For nearly two weeks now they h
Israel today gave a guarded welcome to a French and Egyptian plan to end the fighting in Gaza, as clashes between Israeli forces and Hamas resumed after a three-hour truce to allow humanitarian aid to reach trapped civilians. Hundreds of people took to the streets of the Palestinian territory during the hiatus to shop and visit relatives, despite reports of continued exchanges of fire in the north
An Israeli attack on Tuesday on a UN-run school building, being used to shelter people who had fled their homes, killed 40 people, UN officials say. The Israeli military said its soldiers had come under mortar fire from Hamas militants inside the school. However, Unrwa's Christopher Gunness said the agency was "99.9% certain" that there were no militants or militant activity in the school compound
Israel said it was not sure how long the diplomatic process would take and that a working arms embargo on Hamas was needed. BBC world affairs correspondent Paul Reynolds says Israel has always said that it will accept an outcome under which rockets and smuggling are stopped - but there is a potentially long gap between accepting principles and applying practice. Security sources have confirmed sen
