The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Israel issues evacuation order for swathes of southern Lebanon

The Israeli military has issued evacuation orders for large parts of southern Lebanon, declaring the areas "combat zones" ahead of fresh strikes against Hezbollah.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) urged residents to move north of the Zahrani River, about 40km (25 miles) from the border. The IDF said it would act "with extreme force", accusing Hezbollah of repeated ceasefire violations.


BBC: Israel begins strikes on southern Lebanon after evacuation orders

According to the net sifter, the mouth of the Zahrani is about 10 miles north of the mouth of the Litani, so this is another 10 mile slice Israel is taking off Lebanon.

Trump just gotta Trump, and "Bibi" just gotta "Bibi". An analyst on the news tonight said that, with "Bibi's" main competitor being a coalition headed by Bennett, "Bibi" may decide to escalate in Lebanon, Gaza, and the west bank, to show he's tougher on Pals that Bennett.
