In Srifa Lebanon, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) killed Taleen Saeed (two) with an airstrike while she was attending her father's funeral who the IDF killed last week.
Wrapped in bloodied bandages, Aline Saeed, seven, barely survived the ​Israeli strike on her home in south Lebanon last week. She was there to bury her father as hopes of ‌a truce spread across the region, but a new strike killed her infant sister and other relatives. www.reuters.com/world/middle ...

*** USSECSTATE Empty Suit Marco Rubio Targets More Iranians in US With Expulsion ***
Excerpted from the US State Dept press release:
"Seyed Eissa Hashemi, Maryam Tahmasebi, and their son are now in the custody of heavily-armed and masked ICE thugs pending their callous and abrupt removal from the US.
The self-serving Trumpf junta will never allow America to become a home for foreign nationals tied to regimes that fight American imperialism or those that criticize the brutal Israeli ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, Israel's illegal bombardment and occupation of Lebanon, or Israel's constant attacks against Iran and its phantom nuclear stockpile."
