Israel escalated attacks on Lebanon today too. According to the Lebanese Health Ministry, the Israelis have now killed over 3,000 Lebanese, since early March.

Iran live updates: US forces conduct 'self-defense' strikes in Iran, CENTCOM says
U.S. forces on Monday launched what U.S. Central Command described as "self-defense strikes" in southern Iran.
"U.S. forces conducted self-defense strikes in southern Iran today to protect our troops from threats posed by Iranian forces," CENTCOM spokesperson Capt. Tim Hawkins said in a statement. "Targets included missile launch sites and Iranian boats attempting to emplace mines. U.S. Central Command continues to defend our forces while using restraint during the ongoing ceasefire."https://currently.att.yahoo.com/news/politics/arti..."ongoing ceasefire"...yeah, right. Just like the "cease fires" in Gaza and Lebanon, where the Israelis keep killing and killing and killing.
