Scott Mc Kiernan presents zReportage.com Issue #955 Story of the Week: Published TUESDAY September 24, 2024: ‘Raising The Stakes’ by ZUMA Press award winning dpa photo-journalist Marwan Naamani: It is now clear that last Tuesday’s exploding pager operation in Lebanon was just a first step. What is now unfolding is an Israeli strategy of military escalation against Hezbollah, premised on the risky belief that the militant group can be bombed into a ceasefire before fighting in Gaza ends. Monday’s wave of airstrikes in southern Lebanon killed at least 558 people and displaced many thousands, and there is little sign of the campaign slowing. The length of Israel’s latest offensive in Lebanon will depend largely on how quickly Hezbollah will come to the table. Welcome to ‘Raising The Stakes’
