Israeli forces have begun demolishing the town of Qantara, Lebanon. 48 villages have been razed to the ground by the Israeli army, who are still occupying more than 60 towns and villages in Lebanon. This destruction is funded by the US and EU. This is Zionism.

Heavy rain is falling across the Gaza Strip as residents face harsh humanitarian conditions. Displaced families struggle with the cold inside makeshift tents that offer little protection from the rain and harsh weather, further worsening their suffering.
