#israel #iran #lebanon #gaza - ‘Nobody benefits from such a war’: Former Israeli official: Al Jazeera English

3 October 2024

At least seven people have been killed and eight wounded in Israeli air strikes targeting central Beirut overnight.

It hit a building in the area of Bachoura - just one kilometre from Lebanon's Parliament and the Prime Minister's office. Meanwhile, more Israeli strikes have targeted Dahiyeh, the southern suburb of Beirut where Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah was killed last week.

Israel has hit the area several times in the past two weeks, saying it was targeting Hezbollah sites. And in Gaza, an overnight Israeli strike has killed at least one Palestinian and injured another in Deir el-Balah, in the central part of the strip.

An Israeli helicopter gunship struck a tent housing displaced people in a school compound. Alon Liel is a former director general at Israel's Foreign Ministry. He was also a former ambassador to South Africa.

He says Israel has been weakened from nearly a year of war in Gaza and the prospect of a protracted conflict in the region has its population worried.

#FullMovie "Perfect Sisters" (2014) Directed by: Stanley M. Brooks Starring: Abigail Breslin, Mira Sorvino & Georgie Henley

Directed by: Stanley M. Brooks Starring: Abigail Breslin, Mira Sorvino & Georgie Henley

A pair of abused and neglected teenage girls almost get away with murder in Perfect Sisters, a riveting true-crime thriller based on the notorious “Bathtub Girls” case.

Sisters Sandra and Beth learned early in life that they had no one to depend on but each other. But when their addict mother Linda makes plans to move the girls in with her lecherous and abusive lover, the girls’ situation becomes unbearable.

Seeing no other way out, Sandra and Beth recruit their classmates to help them plan their mother’s murder. When the girls’ guilt spins out of control and they compulsively confess their involvement to friends, rumors that they are cold-blooded killers reach the ears of the authorities.

Perfect Sisters is a harrowing and heartbreaking look at the teen subculture that nurtured the girls’ murderous fantasies and covered up for them after they committed an unthinkable crime in an effort to create a normal life for themselves. #fullmovie #freemovie #GravitasFilms

The older sister, Sandra, was released to a halfway house in 2009, while the younger sister, Beth, was released a year later. By 2020, it was reported that Sandra graduated from university and became a scientist, while Beth was married, became a mother, and graduated from law school.
