## Resource

Israel has invaded Lebanon six times since 1978. Every time the justification changes. The geography never does.In this video we trace Israel’s real objective in southern Lebanon from the first Zionist maps drawn in 1897, to Ben-Gurion’s private diaries, to Smotrich saying it out loud on Israeli radio in 2026. This war is not simply about Hezbollah or creating security buffers.We cover the Litani River, the Syrian dams, the Jordan River diversion, and what it means for the Muslim world when an occupying power controls who gets water and who doesn’t.SOURCESHezbollah FPV Drone Campaign / IDF LossesTimes of Israel Hezbollah drone major problem, countermeasures insufficienthttps://www.timesofisrael.com/hunted-by-drones-it-should-have-seen-coming-israels-lebanon-strategy-is-now-at-risk/Times of Israel Fatal Hezbollah attack exposes IDF gaps on FPV droneshttps://www.timesofisrael.com/fatal-hezbollah-attack-exposes-gaps-in-idf-preparedness-for-first-person-view-drones/Smotrich / Litani Border StatementTimes of Israel Smotrich says Litani River should be Israel’s new borderhttps://www.timesofisrael.com/smotrich-says-litani-river-should-be-israels-new-border-with-lebanon/Middle East Eye Israel to control southern Lebanon, Smotrich urges Litani borderhttps://www.middleeasteye.net/news/litani-river-must-be-new-border-lebanon-israels-smotrich-saysIsrael Katz Demolish Bridges / Permanent OccupationIsraeli occupation of Southern Lebanon (2026) Wikipediahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_occupation_of_Southern_Lebanon_(2026)Rolling Stone MENA A Looming Occupation on the Shores of the Litanihttps://mena.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/lebanon-litani-occupationBridge DemolitionsReuters / AFP Zrarieh Bridge destroyed March 13 2026https://mena.rollingstone.com/politics/pol…
