Life is gradually returning to a Southern Lebanon city heavily impacted during Israel’s conflict with Hezbollah. The ceasefire is holding, but residents face destroyed homes and businesses, with limited government assistance. Lebanon’s economic collapse since 2019 hinders reconstruction efforts, leaving the government reliant on international aid. Officials, alongside UN representatives, are working on a recovery plan, but its success depends on credibility, financing, and economic reforms. Unlike in 2006, external support may now come with conditions, and delay relief for those waiting to rebuild their lives. Al Jazeera’s Zeina Khodr reports from Nabatiyeh in southern Lebanon.

‘Double standard’ built into Lebanon ceasefire agreement: Analysis
51,201 views Dec 1, 2024 #aljazeeralivenews #aljazeeraenglish #hezbollah

The success of the ceasefire in Lebanon, in some ways, “is in Hezbollah’s court”, due to Israeli violations of it, says Mohamed Elmasry, a professor at the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies. “[Hezbollah] could certainly attack Israel right now on the basis that Israel has already violated the agreement, but so far, they have not,” Elmasry told Al Jazeera. The US, additionally, is “not a neutral arbiter” in the ceasefire process, the professor said. “It’s very clear that, from the US perspective, Israel has the right to engage Hezbollah, to attack Hezbollah, but Hezbollah does not reserve the same right to do to Israel,” he said. “So there’s already this kind of built-in double standard.”

The Lebanese army is reinforcing southern Lebanon as part of a ceasefire agreement with Israel to end the conflict with Hezbollah. Although some residents are returning, devastated villages and towns await them. The Israeli military remains near the border, warning residents not to move south yet. Hezbollah is to withdraw from strongholds and transfer power to the Lebanese state within 60 days from November 27. The deal, based on UN Resolution 1701, calls for a disarmed southern Lebanon and extends the state’s authority. Despite Hezbollah’s cooperation, the terms appear unfavourable to them, with a US-led committee overseeing implementation. Lebanon’s Prime Minister emphasised focusing on building a new country.

Ceasefire in Lebanon likely came about due to US pressure: Analysis

While there was no clear winner in the war between Hezbollah and Israel, “Israel had the upper hand in this conflict”, according to Hassan Barari, professor of international affairs at Qatar University.

“On the ground, there is no clear winner, but I think Israel has achieved more in the 14 months,” Barari told Al Jazeera.

He explained that Hezbollah did not achieve its goal of ending the war in Gaza, while Israel did not achieve its goal of eradicating Hezbollah. However, Israel killed many fighters from the Lebanese group, including its top leadership, while some 60 Israeli soldiers were killed since the ground operation began, said Barari.

The ceasefire may have occurred due to US pressure, the professor said.

“We know that the Israeli air force has been through some difficulties in terms of ammunition and supply and Biden has actually suspended some of these shipments. So one thing is the American pressure on Lebanon,” he said.

“And there is also a realisation in the American administration side that Lebanon is different from Israel, as it has no territorial claim as [is] the case in Gaza.”

If the war in Gaza comes to an end, the ceasefire is likely to hold – but that is unlikely to happen any time soon due to Netanyahu’s domestic concerns, the professor said.

“But [on] the Lebanese front … whether [the ceasefire is] going to hold or not is the implementation of the clauses. There are 13 clauses in the deal,” he added.

Israel agreed to a ceasefire in Lebanon in order to increase fire in Gaza: Marwan Bishara
69,436 views Nov 28, 2024 #GazaWar #PrayForGaza #Israel

Al Jazeera’s senior political analyst Marwan Bishara highlights the contrasting nature of Israel’s recent military actions. He emphasizes that while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu perceives the war on Lebanon as a war of choice, the war on Gaza is viewed as existential—critical to the survival of Netanyahu’s coalition, ideology, and political career. Bishara suggests that this perspective diminishes the likelihood of Netanyahu pursuing a ceasefire in Gaza anytime soon. He points out that Netanyahu’s post-cabinet meeting statement, approving the ceasefire in Lebanon, framed the decision as a strategic move to redirect Israeli military focus toward Gaza, rather than signaling a willingness to negotiate peace.

During an interview with Al Jazeera, Rami Khouri, a distinguished fellow at the American University of Beirut, analysed the Lebanon ceasefire agreement and its implications. He noted the deal is likely to hold initially as all sides are exhausted, with Israel’s army engaged in unprecedented, prolonged operations. However, Khouri pointed out that Israel has not achieved its primary goals in Gaza or Lebanon, describing the ceasefire as a “major blow” to Israel. He stated, “Being forced to accept the ceasefire is a major blow to Israel. They won’t admit it, but it is a big blow to them.” Khouri highlighted that Hezbollah also benefits from the ceasefire, using it as an opportunity to regroup and strengthen defences. Meanwhile, he emphasised Iran’s critical role, noting its interest in avoiding a full-scale war while reassessing its regional deterrence capabilities. Khouri concluded that the ceasefire’s impact on Gaza and the broader Middle East remains to be seen.

The United Nations says Israeli tanks burst through the gates of its peacekeeping force base in southern Lebanon after three platoons of Israeli soldiers crossed the Blue Line.
The UN peacekeepers said in a statement at 4:30am (01:30 GMT), two Israeli army Merkava tanks “destroyed” their main gate and “forcibly entered the position” while peacekeepers were asleep.
“The tanks left about 45 minutes later after UNIFIL protested through our liaison mechanism, saying [the Israeli military] presence was putting peacekeepers in danger,” it said.
At 6:40am (03:40 GMT), peacekeepers reported several rounds being fired about 100 metres (328 feet) north of their position in what appeared to be an attack with some sort of chemical agent.
“Despite putting on protective masks, 15 peacekeepers suffered effects including skin irritation and gastrointestinal reactions after the smoke entered the camp. The peacekeepers are receiving treatment.”
The Israeli army must obey its “obligation to ensure the safety and security of UN personnel and property” at the Lebanon border, the force said after the latest attack.
“Breaching and entering a UN position is a further flagrant violation of international law and Security Council resolution 1701,” UNIFIL said in a statement.

Iran’s Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has reiterated his promise that Tehran stands by the people, government and resistance forces of Lebanon amid Israeli attacks. “Iran is ready to help the war-stricken, displaced and wounded people under the supervision of the Lebanese government and send assistance if an air corridor can be opened by the government for Beirut,” he said following a meeting with Lebanese Parliament Speaker and Amal Movement leader Nabih Berri. “Iran will certainly continue to support all decisions taken by the people, government and resistance in this period.” In a symbolic move, the former air force commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) personally piloted the plane that got him to the Rafic Hariri International Airport as fires and smoke resulting from the latest Israeli attacks could be seen.

Hezbollah media chief slams Israeli ‘justifications’ for attacking civilian targets
139,459 views Oct 12, 2024 #aljazeeraenglish #BreakingNews #aljazeeralivenews

Hezbollah’s media chief, Mohammed Afif, held a news conference in Beirut, where he railed against Israel for its attacks and criticised local and foreign media that he said are lending credence to the killings. He confirmed Israeli attacks on UN peacekeepers, civilians, residential areas, hospitals and medical staff, and slammed the “excuses” and justifications the Israeli military uses to keep hitting them, including saying they contain weapons and explosives. Meanwhile, Al Jazeera’s Dorsa Jabbari, reports from Beirut, Lebanon. She says the message of Hezbollah’s Afif is twofold: One is that the resistance is not falling apart, that they are not going to be dismantled as a result of the continuing strikes by Israel that have been carried out not only on the southern front but also on Beirut.

The Israeli military has issued a warning to those near the Lebanese coastline, from the Awali River southwards. This river is approximately 30km (19 miles) from Beirut along the country’s coastline. Intense fighting is ongoing in the town of Naqoura, in southwestern Lebanon, and this marks the first warning from the Israeli military for the coastline. As a result, a third of the Lebanese coastline is now off-limits to residents, although where they should relocate remains unclear. The Israeli military is expanding its operations, targeting Hezbollah interests along the coast, and has launched an air campaign against what it claims are Hezbollah targets across Lebanon. In addition, another division of Israeli forces has been deployed, signalling an increased military presence on the ground.

Israeli army has ‘a never-ending list’ of potential targets

Al Jazeera is reporting from outside Israel because it has been banned by the Israeli government The amount of intelligence Israel has on Hezbollah is enormous. Some speculation among analysts – and this is not confirmed – is the Israeli military could have been targeting a Shura Council meeting to confirm Hashem Safieddine as the next secretary-general. The Israelis seem to have a never-ending list of targets.

It’s almost as if they’ve tagged people. They know where they are and at what time. And even after that major security breach over the past two weeks, it’s clear just how much they’ve infiltrated the intelligence system. It seems Hezbollah cannot end the eyes on it that Israel has. We’re going to have to wait and see. The Israelis have said nothing. Usually they’re trying to confirm their target was assassinated, which of course takes time.

Israel continues to attack Hezbollah’s ‘military and political assets’

Powerful blasts were heard overnight across the capital. Security sources say there were 11 consecutive strikes similar to the night when Israel assassinated Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in an underground bunker last week.

The Israeli army has made no statement. Israeli media are saying the possible target was Hashem Safieddine, a top figure in Hezbollah and Nasrallah’s cousin. He is a potential successor.

If indeed he was killed, this would be another major setback for the organisation. Israel is attacking anyone or anything that is associated with Hezbollah.

Officials in the organisation talk about the possibility of an Israeli mole. There is a lot of disarray in its ranks. Israel is going after its military and political assets.

Golberg said that it is likely that Israeli forces are likely focusing on known Hezbollah installations or similar targets.
“So in that sense, if Hezbollah was expecting an invasion, then Hezbollah’s statements are correct. Israel, however, has been exactly saying that this is what the force is,” he said. “So both sides are telling their version of the truth.”

Hezbollah may not announce Nasrallah’s successor soon: Analysis

It is possible for Hezbollah to not announce a leader for some time because whoever succeeds Nasrallah will also be a target for a possible assassination, Ali Rizk, a security and political analyst, says. “Recently, the new commander of the Radwan Force was assassinated by Israel just a few days after he was appointed following the assassination of his predecessor. So I think that Hezbollah has to address these gaps and this apparent infiltration compromise which has taken place within its ranks before it can clearly declare who is in fact going to occupy those senior positions,” Rizk told Al Jazeera.

“I think that Hezbollah still possesses the capabilities to launch some painful attacks on the Israeli side. More importantly, Hezbollah is in a race against time because Israel is not letting up.”

US President Joe Biden has issued a statement on the killing of Nasrallah, calling it “a measure of justice for his many victims, including thousands of Americans, Israelis, and Lebanese civilians”. Biden said the US “fully supports Israel’s right to defend itself against Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis, and any other Iranian-supported terrorist groups”. He added that his government was enhancing “the defense posture of U.S. military forces in the Middle East region to deter aggression and reduce the risk of a broader regional war”.

Israel is on high alert and says it is prepared for all options after it announced his death. But will Hezbollah respond – and if so, how?

There has been no confirmation from Hezbollah on the alleged killing of its leader Hassan Nasrallah, but I can tell you, his supporters are worried.

This is a man who has a lot of support, especially among his Shia constituency in Lebanon. They see him as a father figure, a religious leader and as a man who has improved their standing in Lebanon.

At the same time, Hezbollah is a non-state actor that is better armed than the Lebanese state and this has earned it enemies in the country.

The last speech Nasrallah gave was prerecorded and he knew he was being hunted down.

If the news of his death is true, this will be a political earthquake in Lebanon.

US diplomacy a ‘charade’ to conceal direct support for Israel: Analyst
20,561 views Sep 28, 2024 #IsraelStrikes #LebanonConflict #Hezbollah

Mouin Rabbani, non-resident fellow at the Center for Conflict and Humanitarian Studies, spoke to Al Jazeera earlier about Israel’s attack on Beirut and the role of the United States.

Rabbani said the claim by US officials that they did not know in advance of Israel’s attack on Beirut was not plausible given its close intelligence ties to Israel.

“What we have here is the United States repeatedly claiming that it had absolutely no idea of the latest developments until it was informed by the Israelis,” Rabbani said.

“This is the same government that spent months warning the world about the Russian invasion of Ukraine. And despite its exceptionally close intelligence relationship with Israel, and intelligence sharing and all the rest of it, now claims it had absolutely no clue that any of this was happening.”

Rabbani said current US diplomacy “is an exercise in smoke and mirrors”.

“A diversionary charade to conceal the direct support the United States has been providing Israel throughout the past year,” he said.

Bombing of Beirut adds to Lebanon’s ‘mass displacement crisis’

We just heard a huge explosion. We are at one of the entrances to Beirut’s southern suburbs. Neighbourhoods of Beirut’s southern suburbs came under heavy fire late yesterday. Twelve hours of intense bombardments. We can see some people making their way back inside. These are people who left their homes in a hurry last night and who are now returning to retrieve whatever they can get from their homes. There is a lot of fear here. The roads are nearly empty.

This area on a normal day would be packed with cars and a lot of traffic because this is a densely populated area. We’ve been driving around the Lebanese capital for the past two hours and you see people in parks, in public squares and along the beach, and even on the side of the roads. They have nowhere to go.

This is a mass displacement crisis already since Monday when Israel began its intensive and extensive air strikes targeting Hezbollah’s traditional strongholds in the east and south of the country. It displaced more than 100,000 people. That’s added to the 110,000 who were already displaced in 11 months of fighting. Now this is a new wave of displacement that is causing more strain on a nearly cash-strapped government.

In the past couple of weeks, the low-intensity war that Israel and Hezbollah have been fighting across the Lebanon-Israel border for a year has metastasised. Thousands of Lebanese have been forced from their homes as Israeli bombardment has intensified. More than 600 have been killed.

Alongside air raids and preparations for a land invasion, there is an element of psychological pressure Israel exerts too, designed to terrorise people and manufacture consent for war.

Rami Khouri, a distinguished fellow at the American University of Beirut, said “the stakes are very high” for the region amid Israel’s attack on Lebanon, which is the latest escalation of tensions that have existed for decades. “This tension has been going on for 30, 40, 50 years because the root cause of it has never been resolved – the conflict between Palestine and Israel,” Khouri told Al Jazeera. “This moment is the most dangerous one that I’ve experienced in my 50 years of covering the area as a journalist and analyst. That’s because of the chances of other big powers getting involved,” Khouri said.

“The United States is already involved. It is the major supplier of weapons for Israel and the major protector of Israel at the UN and at international fora. The US has also sent huge amounts of military forces to the area to help Israel if it needs it,” he said. “The danger now is the region as a whole being involved in fighting,” he added. “So this is the big danger that a break out of a big war would not only cause immense suffering – and not resolve very much – but would also threaten the fundamental integrity of many of these countries.”

At least 492 people, including 35 children, have been killed in a day of unrelenting Israeli attacks on Lebanon, according to the country’s Health Ministry. At least 1,645 were wounded. Tens of thousands in southern Lebanon fled their homes following evacuation orders by the Israeli army amid ongoing airstrikes. Many relocated to cities like Sidon or Beirut, with constant bombardments making travel perilous. The Lebanese government is preparing shelters, but more assistance is needed, given the country’s economic collapse and the growing number of displaced people.

Netanyahu is waging war on Lebanon because he ‘failed in Gaza’: Analysis
19,409 views Sep 24, 2024 #Lebanon #Israel #Netanyahu

Said Arikat, an adjunct professor and journalist with Al Quds Daily, stated that US policy shows no contradiction between de-escalation calls and support for Israel. Speaking from Washington, DC, he emphasised that Israel’s actions, such as the strikes on Lebanon, likely received US approval, given the use of American aircraft and weapons. Arikat explained that the US engages with Israeli officials regularly, and when discussing de-escalation, it often implies limiting responses from other actors while Israel continues its strikes. He also noted that Israel’s attempts to reoccupy Lebanon are impractical, recalling its withdrawal in 2000 due to Hezbollah resistance. Additionally, Arikat suggested that Netanyahu’s shift in focus to Hezbollah stems from failed objectives in Gaza. The US, while supporting Israel, has not sufficiently pressed for a ceasefire in Gaza.

Al Jazeera’s Hamdah Salhut, reporting from Amman, Jordan, provided insights into Israel’s newly named military campaign, Operation Arrows of the North.

Israeli forces claim to have carried out 1,600 airstrikes, signalling a new phase focused on the north. Despite the devastation in Lebanon, Israel’s army insists that all options remain on the table, raising fears of a ground offensive. While the US opposes such action, tensions continue to escalate.
