U.S. Congresswoman Ilhan Omar has accused Israel of committing genocide and carrying out atrocities without facing consequences.

Omar condemned Israel’s actions in Lebanon and called for an immediate halt to U.S. military assistance to the country.

She wrote on X, “The lesson Israel has learned, time and again, is that it can commit genocide and other atrocities with near‑total impunity. Now it’s exporting the Gaza playbook to Lebanon,” adding that “Israel’s war in Lebanon is killing thousands and displacing over a million.”

“No more U.S. aid to Israel,” she said.

Earlier, Lebanon’s National News Agency reported that Israeli warplanes conducted an airstrike on the town of al‑Mansouri in the Tyre district early Tuesday morning, accompanied by artillery bombardment of the area.

During the night, a subsequent airstrike targeted a residence in al‑Hosh, Tyre, causing destruction and damage to several nearby homes.

According to the report, two injured individuals were rescued from the debris and taken to the hospital.
