French politician Mathilde Panot has denounced &#8220;Israeli&#8221; Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, asserting that the so-called \u201cwar on Hezbollah\u201d is merely a pretext masking a broader war against the Lebanese people.Speaking to Franceinfo, Panot rejected the narrative that the war targets Hezbollah, stressing instead that civilians are bearing the brunt of &#8220;Israeli&#8221; aggression.<\/p>\n<p>She pointed to the killing of journalists, including a recently killed reporter, the ninth to be killed, as evidence that those targeted have no connection to Hezbollah.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIs she Hezbollah?\u201d Panot asked, underscoring that such attacks deliberately strike at independent voices.<\/p>\n<p>She further highlighted the targeting of emergency responders, noting that around 100 rescuers were hit while carrying out humanitarian duties in ambulances.<\/p>\n<p>According to Panot, these actions clearly demonstrate that the campaign extends far beyond any military confrontation with Hezbollah and instead aims at dismantling the fabric of Lebanese society.<\/p>\n<p>Panot also drew attention to the April 8 massacre, in which more than 300 Lebanese civilians were martyred in strikes she said were intended to spread terror among the population.<\/p>\n<p>Such acts, she emphasized, \u201chave nothing to do with Hezbollah.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For Panot, these patterns expose the reality behind &#8220;Israeli&#8221; claims: The \u201cwar on Hezbollah\u201d narrative serves as a cover for a wider assault on Lebanon and its people.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0&#13;\n  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Islam Times &#8211;
