Unaffected so far by the U.S.-Iran ceasefire, the battle to disarm Hezbollah in Lebanon has been shaping up to be a main focus of Israelis, renewing the debate: Can force alone deliver security, or does the absence of a political strategy risk open-ended conflict?

Unaffected so far by the U.S.-Iran ceasefire, the battle to disarm Hezbollah has become a main focus of Israelis. Can military force alone deliver lasting security, or does the absence of a clear political strategy risk costly conflict? #hezbollah #israel #iran

Israeli air force redirects to Lebanon, intensifying strikes on Hezbollah Against the backdrop of a ceasefire with Iran, the IDF and the broader defense establishment are signaling that fighting against Hezbollah in the north is continuing. With military activity against Iran’s ayatollah regime halted, air force assets are now being redirected to focus fully on Lebanese airspace. Additional resources from Military Intelligence are also expected to join the effort. On the other side, Hezbollah has fired dozens of rockets toward communities in the Galilee since the morning hours. Since the start of the campaign in Lebanon, the IDF has avoided stating that the fighting with Iran affected its achievements against Hezbollah, emphasizing that Northern Command has all the tools it needs. In practice, however, that has not been the case. Air force resources allocated to the primary arena against Iran were lacking in Lebanon. Shortages were also felt in firepower available to maneuvering ground forces, as well as in the intensity and continuity of strikes against Hezbollah. Five divisions are currently operating in southern Lebanon, deployed along the border from east to west and positioned up to about nine kilometers (5.5 miles) inside Lebanese territory. The IDF is expected to present the political echelon with a plan to demolish and...

Israël als spelbederver: 'Ze willen Iran zo zwak mogelijk houden' De dag na afkondiging van een bestand in het Midden-Oosten voerde Israël bloedige bombardementen uit in Libanon, waarop Hezbollah met raketten reageerde. Waarom zette Israël uitgerekend na het staakt-het-vuren de grootste aanval in tijden in? Arabist Leo Kwarten en conflictanalist Erwin van Veen schuiven aan in Bureau Buitenland.

Il ne faut pas s’attendre à une défense classique du #Hezbollah. Ses combattants opèrent davantage comme une guérilla et ne cherchent pas à tenir le terrain comme une armée conventionnelle.

Plus à l’Est, les forces #Israéliennes se rapprochent du village de #Shaqra et contrôlent déjà celui de #Houla.

Le village de #Taybeh est désormais en grande partie sous contrôle #Israélien. Le #Hezbollah affirme y avoir ciblé un char #Merkava.

Après avoir encerclé la ville, l’armée #Israélienne a lancé son offensive par l’est (cercle bleu). Les affrontements, toujours en cours, sont intenses. Le #Hezbollah affirme avoir touché trois chars dans le secteur aujourd’hui.

'There's no Hezbollah here': the Lebanese reaction to Israeli strikes that killed hundreds It took Israel only 10 minutes to carry out one of the worst mass-killings in Lebanon since the end of the country’s civil war in 1990. Omar Rakha heard the war planes but did not feel the explosions; it was only when he woke up face down on the street, bleeding, that he understood what had happened. The building next to his in the Barbour neighbourhood of central Beirut had been destroyed by two Israeli bombs – he then ran through the flaming wreckage to find his sister, screaming. Shaden Fakih, a 24-year-old calisthenics trainer, also ran towards the impact site; his friend Mahmoud was inside the struck building. He could only get so close; the multistory building was now a pile of burning rubble. Fakih began to pull people out of the apartments in front of the site, carrying an old woman in his arms whose legs no longer worked. There was no sign of Mahmoud, and the neighbourhood – once thought to be safe from Israeli bombs – felt like a war zone. Dr Ghassan Abu-Sittah was in the emergency room when the casualties began to arrive. Among the wounded were children pulled out from under the rubble;...
