Over 70 Hezbollah Sites Struck As Netanyahu Orders IDF To 'Intensify Blows' On Lebanon

Israel has drastically ramped up its military campaign across Lebanon, hitting many dozens of 'Hezbollah sites' - and seriously escalating the long-running conflict, despite there officially being a US-mediated ceasefire in place.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has confirmed on Monday that instructed the military to "press the pedal even harder" against Hezbollah, reportedly upon a greenlight being given by Washington, following increased drone attacks from the Shia paramilitary group backed by Iran on northern Israel.

"We are at war with Hezbollah. Just in recent weeks, our brave fighters have eliminated more than 600 terrorists," Netanyahu announced in video statement. "But we are not taking our foot off the gas. On the contrary, I have instructed them to press the pedal even harder."

"We will strike them. Yes, they are attacking us with drones, cyber-enabled drones, and we have a special team working on this — and we will solve that too…But what this requires from us now is to intensify the blows, increase the force. We will strike them decisively," the Israeli leader said.

The last several hours have indeed witnessed expanded attacks across Lebanon, including Tyre, and Bekaa Valley, and evacuation orders have been given for south Beirut suburbs.

Al Jazeera has cited the Israeli army, which has indicated it targeted the following in the past 24 hours:

• More than 70 Hezbollah infrastructure sites across the country.
• About 10 headquarters and weapons depots in the Tyre area.
• An unspecified number of Hezbollah fighters on motorcycles in the south.

Gong back to early March, over 3,180 Lebanese have been killed, with more than 9,000 wounded - according to Lebanese health officials. The figures do not distinguish between armed combatants or civilians.

Critics of Israel have warned that Netanyahu is trying to sabotage Trump's efforts to find a final peace deal with Iran. The Israelis have long worried that Washington could in the end settle for a 'bad deal' - or one that doesn't ensure the complete destruction of Iran's nuclear program and highly enriched uranium.

Officials in Tehran have meanwhile consistently tried to link a broader deal with peace in Lebanon - a position which Tel Aviv has in turn repeatedly rejected.

While Israel has a ceasefire agreement in place with the government of Lebanon, it insists that this does not extend to Hezbollah, which Israel and the US deem a terrorist organization.

CDC Adds Another Airport For Screening Of Travelers Who Might Have Ebola

Authored by Zachary Stieber via The Epoch Times,

Two more airports have been added as options for people traveling from countries affected by the Ebola outbreak in Africa.

People traveling from Congo, Uganda, or South Sudan can go to the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport in Atlanta, Georgia, and George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston, Texas, starting May 26, Customs and Border Protection said on May 22.

The CDC said in a statement that Atlanta airport “has established operational procedures in place” for enhanced screening, which is one layer of the country’s approach to public health on top of screening individuals overseas before they board flights, having airlines report suspected illnesses among passengers, and monitoring people after they arrive.

On May 21, U.S. officials announced that U.S. citizens and legal residents who had been in Congo, Uganda, or South Sudan within 21 days of arrival must go through Washington Dulles International Airport in Virginia, outside the nation’s capital.

CDC officials said that the travelers would be escorted to a special area of the airport to complete a questionnaire about their travel history and symptoms, and to provide their contact details.

CDC personnel would observe people for signs of illness and take their temperatures with no-contact thermometers.

Travelers without symptoms would be allowed to go to their final destinations; travelers with symptoms would be evaluated by a CDC public health officer and may be sent to area hospitals.

U.S. officials have said that there are no cases of Ebola in the United States linked to the outbreak, which was confirmed in Congo earlier this year and is up to more than 1,000 suspected and confirmed cases.

One case was confirmed in an American doctor, Dr. Peter Stafford, who was working in Congo. He and his family were flown to Germany for treatment, while another doctor, Dr. Patrick LaRochelle, was transported to the Czech Republic for monitoring.

Serge, a Christian organization with which Stafford and LaRochelle work, said on May 24 that LaRochelle is asymptomatic. The group previously released a statement from Stafford saying the doctor was “cautiously optimistic” after beginning to receive care in Germany.

A White House official told The Epoch Times in a recent email that decisions on whether to move Americans who contract or are exposed to Ebola in another country to the United States will be made on a case-by-case basis, “but we will do what we need to to ensure health of Americans and minimize transmission odds.”

The CDC has taken other steps to try to prevent introducing Ebola to the United States, including barring the entry of non-U.S. passport holders who have been in Congo, Uganda, or South Sudan in the past 21 days.

The CDC on May 22 expanded that entry ban to green card holders who have recently been in those countries.

The new policy, in place for 30 days, will give acting CDC Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya time to “make an informed determination” about necessary travel restrictions going forward, according to the public health agency.
