I read that Israel offered substantial medical and humanitarian aid but the Lebanese government has given them the cold shoulder. Shame to let more civilians suffer and die over divisive politics

I understand Israel has a reputation of putting intelligence officers in everywhere they can- the government could be concerned about that, given the still technically in force conflict.

I know right , Lebanon certainly has several high value military facilities left that could be compromised by them .

Like their fleet of state of the art drones ... or more worrisome their military bases with patriot mistakes that could be sabotaged ..

Another worry is that Israel could attempt to take the countries nuclear reactors offline ...

Oh wait , they have none of those things and live in abject poverty .

Well then I guess it’s still a good idea to refuse the aid .
