卡塔尔外交部：在伊朗飞行员侵犯了我们的领空后，我们采取了必要措施捍卫领土。

Ziad Abu Rish, associate professor of Middle East studies at Bard College, said most observers believe Netanyahu is escalating strikes on Lebanon to demonstrate unstoppable resolve—seeking to occupy southern Lebanon and to hit Hezbollah and Lebanese civilians. Saturday’s attack that killed 11 continues a pattern since the ceasefire: Israel, with perceived US acquiescence, attacking Hezbollah and Lebanese civilians without consequences. The ceasefire was largely nominal and only briefly held June 19-23 after Iran pressed for a US understanding to halt Israeli strikes. In US-mediated talks with Israel and Lebanon, Washington proposed Israel limit its operations and occupation to southern Lebanon and the Bekaa Valley in exchange for refraining from strikes on Beirut. The result, Abu Rish said, is that southern Lebanese civilians continue to live under Israeli occupation and air strikes, and most destruction of civilian infrastructure in the south—homes, hospitals, schools, fortifications and farmland—occurred in Israeli-controlled areas during the ceasefire.
