Save the Children expose Israel’s sham ‘ceasefire’ as it keeps murdering kids in Lebanon
Following weeks of Israeli bombardment, displacement and sheer terrorism inflicted on people in Lebanon a so-called ‘ceasefire’ was reached. By the time it took effect Israel had brutally murdered over 2,400 children.
However, true to murderous form, Israel has continued to kill Lebanese civilians – just as it violates every bullshit ‘ceasefire’ agreement it reaches with Palestine. Now, charity Save the Children have raised an urgent alarm regarding the fact that Israel has been killing, or injuring, four children every single day since the so-called ‘ceasefire’ began.
Once again, the Western-backed Zionist state shows that it doesn’t recognise Arab life as being of equal value to its own citizens, with the death toll now sitting at 2,900 Lebanese men, women and children.

Lebanon under Zionist attack
Save the Children works across the world to improve the lives of children through humanitarian support and advocacy. As such, they are leading that essential mission now by exposing that Israel is continuing to murder and maim children in Lebanon during its expansionist agenda.
Furthermore, they highlight how escalating numbers of children are living with their families in collective shelters which have seen an increase of 5% since this alleged ceasefire took hold on April 17 2026. Israel’s renewed displacement orders and ongoing aggression have forced more than one million people from their homes, displacing roughly one sixth of the entire population in Lebanon.
Some families have reportedly stayed with relatives or host communities. However, 44,800 children and their families now endure insecure and overcrowded collective shelters, while 125,000 people lack adequate access to water, sanitation, and hygiene facilities. As a result, Save the Children report ‘growing health concerns’ including scabies.
Moreover, they have spoken to Lebanese families affected who have heartbreakingly reported that their children are struggling to sleep and have lost their appetite due to the traumatic conditions they are living under.
As families are forced from their communities, many children are subsequently losing access to both the internet and safe spaces to learn. In fact, some schools now serve as collective shelters in order to keep vulnerable families somewhat safe.
One Lebanese child told Save the Children:
I just want the war to end so I can go home to my village and sleep in my own bed. I really miss school, I want to see my teachers and be with my friends, and study and play again.
Americans, your tax money is funding acts of genocide. Report on today’s Israeli attacks on Lebanon, which have killed 12 civilians, including two children, so far.
Also footage of bombing from close to the site of the report.

Black Wednesday
Israel has continued its expansionist agenda into Lebanese territory after destroying Gaza and killing potentially hundreds of thousands of Palestinian men, women and children. Recently, journalist Courtney Bonneau has worked hard to expose this genocide to the Western world.
For instance, on April 8th – or now referred to as ‘Black Wednesday’, Israel murdered 182 in Lebanon in just 10 minutes of widespread and catastrophic bombardments. This occurred while Iran agreed to a ceasefire, which many believed would extend to Israel’s neighbouring state as well.
On the contrary, as Courtney and Save the Children underscore, Israel purposely and repeatedly violates ceasefires. On the other hand, Zionist Israel is revealing just how hostile, barbaric and murderous it intrinsically is.
That death toll is only going to grow, as Israel and the West shows it just doesn’t care about Arab life. This video has just been posted, showing Israel dropping bombs yet again in Lebanon:

Save the Children’s Country Director in Lebanon is quoted as saying:
This ‘so called’ ceasefire that still sees more than four children killed or injured every day is not a ceasefire for children.
Attacks on civilians have not stopped; They have simply continued under another name.
Colleagues have told me that the airstrikes feel more intense in some areas than they ever did before.
Children are not safe until there is a permanent and definitive ceasefire with no violations.
International community MUST stop Israel
State leaders and the right-wing mainstream media might believe they can continually shield Israel from accountability under international law. After all, they have made clear that the death of children really does not bother them. At least not when those children have brown skin. Before the UK’s racists clamour to suggest there is an ‘Islamist threat’ that must be wiped out, Lebanese Christians have also been murdered in Israeli airstrikes.
Citizens across the world, including huge numbers in the UK, continue to call out Israel’s genocidal acts, and leaders must start listening to their own citizens instead of their Zionist paymasters.
Therefore, condemnation is better late than never, and Western leaders must confront Israel once and for all.
“Never again” meant never again for anybody. It did not mean creating a hierarchy of life that values only Zionist Israeli lives above all others.
