The Washington Post map that proves Israel is targeting Hezbollah targets, not Lebanese buildings

Last week, the Washington Post published this map showing different municipalities in southern Lebanon near the border with Israel and what percentage of buildings in each town have been destroyed.

Right smack in the middle of the most heavily damaged towns is a section that is untouched - and unlabeled.

That is the town of Rmeish (Rmaych, Rmeich.) It is one of the few Christian towns in southern Lebanon.

Occupying a mountain ridge, Rmeish is the perfect place from which to launch rockets and Kornet anti-tank missiles at Israeli targets.

And for the past year (and longer), it has resisted allowing Hezbollah to infiltrate to fire at Israel from there, let alone use it as a staging area for an invasion.

Spiegel International reported

As long as Hezbollah doesn’t try to station their artillery and rocket launching ramps in Rmaych, Israel’s army doesn’t fire on the town. Even if its location directly across from Israeli positions makes it a tragically perfect spot for Hezbollah to shoot from.

To prevent them from doing exactly that, patrols made up of Rmaych residents head out at nighttime. They report every car not from the village, every movement. At the same time, though, the town and the church try to avoid being seen as sympathetic to Israel.

In March, residents saw a car of Hezbollah members who, they say, were going to fire rockets into Israel from there. After an altercation the Hezbollah members were chased out.

In 2022, Hezbollah tried to set up one of its fake NGO "Green Without Borders" outposts on Rmeish land, and again the residents made a stink and got the outpost to be dismantled.

To be fair, Israel has asked the residents of Rmeish to evacuate, probably because it is a strategic location that Israel cannot allow to fall into Hezbollah hands. It it in a semicircular section of the border that can view (and fire upon) Israel on three sides.

The residents are refusing to leave, and Israel has not forced them to.

So why are there so few stories about Rmeish in Western media? It seems tailor made for audiences - a heroic minority standing up to two major powers and staying in their homes.

It isn't like the reporters don't know about it. On the contrary, they station themselves in the main hotel there because they know it is the safest part of southern Lebanon!

. But that doesn't stop the reporters from engaging in their own theatrics.

Only Abu Jad, owner of the Mountain Gate Hotel, has been doing well financially – not despite the crisis, but because of it. His vast terrace with a swimming pool offers a panoramic view of the neighboring village of Ayta ash-Shab to the west, which is now being targeted by the Israelis on an almost daily basis. All 11 rooms are occupied and booked out for the next several weeks by international television crews, who leave their tripods in place as they wait for the next dramatic detonations. Every hour or two, a reporter dons a helmet and protective vest before standing in front of the camera to deliver an update on the situation. The shorts and sandals are off screen, of course.

The Washington Post and all other media know very well that Israel is attacking Hezbollah and Hezbollah only. They don't want to report it because they are wedded to the narrative that Israel is wantonly destroying buildings for no reason.

Rmeish proves their narrative wrong.
