The bodies are piling up in Beirut's morgues. Sources on the ground confirm that Israeli warplanes have pounded residential neighbourhoods across southern Lebanon and the Bekaa Valley overnight. The death toll is climbing faster than officials can count.
At least 42 people killed in the last 12 hours, including 11 children. The real number is likely higher. Hospitals are overwhelmed.
Power is intermittent. Aid workers are struggling to reach the wounded. Hezbollah's rocket fire into northern Israel has not stopped.
This is a cycle of violence that benefits no one but the arms dealers. I have seen this playbook before. The rhetoric escalates, the bombs fall, and the civilians pay the price.
The international community issues statements. The weapons keep flowing. The next round will be worse.
