"It was 10 minutes of terror, a day that the Lebanese are calling Black Wednesday," says Lebanese Australian journalist Rania Abouzeid, speaking with _Democracy Now!_ from Beirut. "It was hard to tell what was blowing up where, because those hundred or so attacks were all happening simultaneously." Israel and the U.S. have claimed the Iran ceasefire deal struck this week does not include Lebanon, contradicting Iran's position. Abouzeid says direct talks between Israel and Lebanon are very "divisive" as many Lebanese fear being left out of a regional settlement, with Israel allowed to continue its attacks, displacement and occupation in the country.

'Peace talks' are a canary in the coal mine at this point (hopefully it doesn't stay that way)
