Inside Israel, "there is no room for any question marks or doubts about this war," says journalist Gideon Levy, a columnist for Haaretz and a member of the newspaper's editorial board. He says war fever has taken over the country, with polls showing 93% support for the U.S.-Israeli war in Iran, Lebanon and beyond — at least among the Jewish public. "Israel is doing as much as it can," he says. "As long as the American support is so massive, so blind and so automatic, this will go on."
Levy also criticizes Israel's military censorship system that strictly limits publishing information about war damage and other material deemed to be counter to national security. He says much of it is driven by self-censorship by a press that sees itself as "an agency of the government and of the military establishment, and this is very worrying."

We speak with journalist Lylla Younes in Lebanon, where she says Israel's "massacres are multiplying" amid the broader U.S.-Israeli war on Iran. Israeli strikes have killed nearly 700 people in Lebanon over the past two weeks, while attacks have expanded to include areas of central Beirut, which Israel claims are aimed at the powerful Hezbollah militia. This comes as Israel has vowed to expand its incursion into southern Lebanon.
"The vast majority of southern Lebanon is now under displacement orders," says Younes. "That is approximately 15% of the country."
