🇮🇱l🇱🇧 Important to read these words and understand them well

Signalling a possible end of this war, and highlighting Israel's inability to defeat Hezbullah and its need to project some sort of guarantees to itself, they claimed attacking today 25 location associated with Hezbullah's executive council all around Lebanon.

The Israeli army claims these attacks will affect the decision making of Hezbullah and not allow it to grow again and strengthen itself after the war.
The strikes "damaged the capabilities of the executive council to direct and assist Hezbullah terrorists in their attempts to carry out terror plots against the Israeli home front and IDF forces, as well as Hezbullah's command and control, rehabilitation and information gathering capabilities,"

The executive council, according to the IDF, is tasked with "the restoration of [Hezbullah's] military capabilities in the day after the war, and is a central support for  the organization's military activity."

🇮🇱l🇱🇧 In a recent interview, Ridwan Mortada reported that there are two suspects from within Hezbullah's ranks who left the country, which strengthened the suspicion regarding their cooperation with the Israeli enemy.

Among them is a person in the Signal Corps and the Locations Unit, two important and influencial units. Signal is the one that handles Hezbullah's landlines, wireless comm, etc etc.

The commanders of the Signal Corps and Locations Unit, Hajj Musab and Hajj Adel, were both martyred early in this war.

Used to tell a friend months and years before the war, that nothing worries me more than the lack of spies being caught within Hezbullah.

Because at any given time, there will be. This happens to every group and every army in the world. But years passed without sustainable counterintelligence that rooted out enough.

Will try tonight to answer 3 questions tonight

1- A ceasefire without Gaza? Why and did Hezbullah betray?

2- Did Israel's war on Lebanon and Hezbullah achieve the results it wanted? Was Hezbullah defeated?

3- What is your role as a Lebanese civilian living in Beirut, South Lebanon, and Beqaa/Baalbek after the war?

‼️ IT ALMOST HAPPENED

Col. Yoav Yarom, the Golani Brigade's chief of staff who was accompanying Erlich to an archaeological site, was moderately wounded in the gun battle with two Hezbullah fighters.

A company commander with the Golani Brigade's 13th Battalion was also seriously wounded in the same incident.
🇮🇱l🇱🇧 Golani's Chief of Staff resigns after Hezbullah kills his researcher in Shamaa fort

Golani Brigade Commander, Col. Yoav Yarom, requested to terminate his duties following the incident in which the Zev Javo Erlich and the Sergeant Gur Kahti were killed.

Yarom decided to take full responsibility for the incident, and to end the position even before the end of the investigation on the matter.

Israelis aren't happy about ending the war in Lebanon

Some Palestinians are cautious

Some Lebanese are cautious

I can understand all three, but I cannot understand every single diaspora and non-Lebanese who is calling stoping wrong and that Hezbullah should keep fighting.

Man, you have not suffered in this war a single sweat and you are here watching this war as an action show and rooting for a winner, while blood is being shed and misery is taking place.

The survival of the resistance and its lack of ability to influence anymore in Gaza is what is factoring in the decision making.

And this ceasefire is very fragile in what it demands it might not last.

I'll explain everything in details soon to help fix this misunderstanding, to help clear the fog.

Didn't start my day yet so I'll do my best :) :(

🇮🇱l🇱🇧 Hebrew media: A residential building in Haifa that sustained heavy damage from a direct rocket impact amid a Hezbullah attack on northern Israel yesterday, is being demolished by municipal authorities.

The Haifa municipality says that at the recommendation of experts, the building is being demolished due to fears that it could collapse onto an adjacent apartment block.

❗️ Fearing a large rocket attack by Hezbullah on Israel, moments before the ceasefire agreement is inked, Israel has ordered the homefront to close schools and stopped all activities, moving it to limited in the Golan and Galilee.

A similar event happened in 2006, and Sayyed Hassan phrased it as "we were the ones who fired the last shot"

Everyone is positive this is a ceasefire to end the war. It might be, but it also could collapse during those 60 days.

The Islamic resistance is governed by religious duty, not by political conditions and people’s evaluation.

Lebanese News and Updates
After a couple of months in this war, Hezbullah reached a peak to what effectiveness this support front could achieve and by reaching this climax reached a deadly limitation.

Crossing it is causing a war in Lebanon which they tired hard to avoid, and stopping it, was a defeat for Hezbullah and an embarrassment of abandoning Gaza

They had no choice but keep the same pace, no matter the losses.
First question: Is a ceasefire now between Hezbullah and Israel a correction choice? And is by doing so abandoning Gaza and Sayyed's promise

As mentioned in my old post, a few months into the support front, Hezbullah reached the maximum impact it could achieve in support of Gaza

It was able to tie a substantial amount of Israeli forces, force a great economic toll by evacuating the north and stopping business, and then forced the connoscription of many Israeli reserve forces

Later on, the toll started to become heavier on Hezbullah and Lebanon until we reached this war that started in a catastrophic matter

With this limited impact on Gaza, Hezbullah no longer has any leverage or ability to exert any pressure on Israeli forces greater than what it did during the past two months by forcing all the Israeli forces from land to sky to operate here

And as already mentioned, the conditions to stopping those two wars are distinct because of the events of 7-Oct. Israel has already achieved everything military wise it could in Gaza and despite that and the risks on hostages, it didn't stop yet.

Netanyahu's war, could end any day and this is what all Israeli officials agree on yet he won't stop until he can end Gaza. This is too big of a matter that Hezbullah alone cannot help reverse and this should be a grander Arab and Muslim effort to stop. Which we saw none of

So when Hezbullah reaches a ceasefire, they are doing the correct things because the support front itself was aiming not to defeat Israel. Not to destroy Israel. Not to cripple the Israeli army. But rather to exert pressure on Israel to end the war on Gaza. And no one expected Israel to maintain a 1 year war, and accept sustaining this many casualties and continue. Times have changed

So how would you blame Hezbullah who tried to pressure Israel to end a war on Gaza and save it, to object ending the war in Lebanon and on Hezbullah? It's a matter of surviving and ensuring there is a next day. There is no higher goal than to ensure that there is a next day and ensuring Hezbullah survives as a resistance that will continue to protect the Lebanese state and ensure Lebanon never surrenders to normalization. It's a motto in Hezbullah that every leader and martyr echoes: "Our will, is to protect the Islamic resistance"

So with reaching limitations and the lack of things to achieve in this war, because this war now is in defense not in offense, it is the correct path to go through. Sheikh Naim mentioned that we have transcended the support front, and are now in a battle called Ualeh al-Ba's. By that he means the war has transected the boundaries of support, and is now a war on Lebanon and a war being fought as a result of Hezbullah's moral and religious duty that forced it to support Gaza

In 2008,2012,2014,2021 Hezbullah didn't fight alongside Gaza, so do we consider Hezbullah a traitor for abandoning them then? No

During all that, Hezbullah and Iran helped smuggle weapons to Gaza and teach its commander how to manufacture and how to plan in order to upscale and upgrade their abilities

Support starts from training, money, media, and not exclusively fighting side by side. Hezbullah did all and paid a great price for each

Our war with Israel is not a war to end all wars like WW2, but as Sayyed Hassan described it: a series of battles and continuous blows until we reach our goals of defeating Israel as a state

So Hezbullah didn't abandon Gaza. We could say Hezbullah abandoned it if they stopped during the support front, and accepted to separate paths and accept to save itself and just watch things progress

Yet they didn't accept to stop until they reached the peak of their ability and lost their leadership and historic leaders and defended heroically Lebanon

Finally, is Hezbullah stopping the war now abandoning Sayed Hassan's promise to not stop until the war in Gaza in stopped?

Not at all. Quoting sayyed Hassan on this only without taking context is like taking a verse in the Quran without a context. Behave, you are not more worried about him than Hezbullah
