The Lebanese Army has shamefully abandoned four strategic border villages during Christianity's most sacred week, leaving defenseless Christian communities to fend for themselves against Iran-backed Hezbollah terrorists who have turned southern Lebanon into a launching pad for attacks on Israel.
In a move that reeks of cowardice and collaboration with terror groups, Lebanese forces withdrew Tuesday from Bint Jbeil, Rmeish, Ain Ebel, Kafra, and Debel – two of which are Christian-majority towns whose brave residents have refused Israeli evacuation orders, choosing instead to protect their ancestral homes during Holy Week preparations.
Social media reports confirm the military's retreat as Israel pushes forward against Hezbollah strongholds. "The Lebanese army failed to stop Hezbollah. Israel finish what they could not do," posted @Kiraguri254, highlighting Lebanon's complete failure to control Iran's proxy army within its own borders.
Hezbollah Escalates Terror Campaign
Even as innocent Christians face abandonment, Hezbollah terrorists are ramping up their attacks on Israeli infrastructure and troops. Recent reports show the Iran-backed group claiming "missile strikes targeting Israeli army infrastructure near Kiryat Ata & attacks on troops in Malkia & Metula," according to @OSN_Reports.
Another social media account confirmed Hezbollah's brazen terrorism: "We targeted infrastructure belonging to the Israeli enemy army in the Kiryat Ata area, east of the occupied city of Haifa, with a missile salvo."
"HEZBOLLAH CLAIMS missile strikes targeting Israeli army infrastructure near Kiryat Ata & attacks on troops in Malkia & Metula. Attacks also reported against troops in southern Lebanon." - @OSN_Reports
This escalation comes as President Trump's administration continues supporting Israel's right to defend itself against Iranian terror proxies. While Lebanon's government proves incapable of controlling Hezbollah, Israel is forced to do the job Lebanese forces won't – protecting both Israeli and Lebanese civilians from radical Islamic terrorism.
The timing couldn't be more disgraceful. As Christians worldwide prepare for Easter – commemorating Christ's sacrifice and resurrection – Lebanon's military has effectively handed over Christian villages to the mercy of Iran's terrorist allies. Where is the international outrage over this abandonment of religious minorities?
