The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon says these settlements had become military outposts where Israeli occupation forces are stationed to launch attacks on Lebanon.

The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah, issued an evacuation order on Saturday evening, directed at Israeli settlers in 25 settlements in northern occupied Palestine, following in the footsteps of the Israeli occupation forces who had been forcing people to flee their homes in numerous areas across Lebanon.

Hezbollah, meanwhile, stated that these settlements had become military outposts where Israeli occupation forces are stationed to launch attacks on Lebanon. Consequently, Hezbollah declared them legitimate military targets for its aerial and missile forces, calling on settlers to “evacuate immediately.”

“You are requested to evacuate immediately. Your settlements have become a place of deployment and settlement for the enemy military forces attacking Lebanon. As a result, they have become legitimate military targets for the air and missile forces of the Islamic Resistance,” the warning read.

          Israeli settlers know exactly what theyre doing. They are far from innocent civilians.

            Can you really say that though with enough to back it up? Some are born there and unhappy with how things are. Some stay to help Palestinians. A big chunk are colonial fucks. But there isn’t anything that can justify dehoming more people. Palestinian should be compensated for their lost land fairy, in every way, but that does not mean it’s okay to displace people yet again. I really don’t see why Palestine should also become an ethnostate where swarms of people are forced out in terror yet again… rather than instead being a homogenous society that can restore Palestinians’ rights in legal and fair ways that also ensure human rights for everyone else no matter who they are.

            And I’m not talking about far right lunatics in Israel, but rather Israeli society at large.

          It’s not about displacement. Those settlements have a lot of military activity currently so Hezbollah is saying “we’re going to attack them so move out of the way”

            Honestly it sounds to me like Hezbollah is just mirroring IDF tactics (maybe to make a political point). It’s absolutely no different from Lebanese people being told to evacuate by Israel. Except for that one part where Israel gives you less than 10 minutes to grab your cat and daughter.

              And then also bombs you in the designated safe zones, so really it’s nothing alike and minimizing civilian casualties is the correct way to prosecute a war, right?

                If it’s wrong when the IDF does it (to tell people to evacuate and clear their responsibility for any civilian casualties), then why isn’t it wrong if Hezbollah does it? They can both be wrong.

                  If it is wrong when the union troops kill natives, then it has to be wrong when the natives kill settlers! /s

                  Please read about settler colonialism, this isn’t a symmetrical situation.

                  My comment was entirely drawing a line of distinction between the two. I don’t know how I can make it more clear.

              Hezbollah is still very much restricting itself to attacking military bases (and Netanyahu’s house).

              Israeli soldiers however have decided that they can bomb every house in Lebanon and then go to sleep in their kibbutz instead of on a military base.

                Yep, agreed.

                Still not acceptable to use forced displacement as a weapon against civilians (also known as terrorism) and I will call it out whether Hezbollah does it or the IDF.

                  Lebanon does not recognize the existence of Israel. Every Israeli is illegally occupying all Palestinian territory.

                  Many Hezbollah members are Palestinians who were ethnically cleansed to Lebanon during the Nakba in 1948 and demand their land back.

                  An easy solution to this is for Israel to accept a two-state solution with the Palestinians according to mandated 1967 borders. This will earn Israel recognition and no longer classify them as illegal occupiers.

          Shit, I thought I deleted it in time after I realized that I misunderstood your implication. I read the insinuation in the opposite direction, that if this is reasonable then Israel’s evacuation orders are reasonable, because I’ve been so submerged in zionist bullshit lately. My apologies.
