Israel is pleading “self-defence” while annexing swathes of land in Lebanon. After massacring hundreds of Lebanese civilians this month, the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) has established a “yellow line” deep in the country’s sovereign territory. Israel claims its forces must occupy this area despite agreeing to a ceasefire, which it has already violated multiple times. An IDF spokesperson warned that people trying to cross the line, which has no basis under international law or under the recent ceasefire agreement, will be killed.
