What is happening in southern Lebanon is the continuation of the war and Israeli aggression since the ceasefire was declared, which was implemented only by the Lebanese side.

It will continue as long as those who bear responsibility for defense before the world are unable to do anything.

The missile charade is merely a clear cover for the Zionist crimes against our country.

🇺🇳 The U.N forces in Lebanon confirm it has not detected any Hezbullah military activity in south of the Litani river.

Evidence: https://x.com/Alhadath_Brk/status/1903496068127473953

This not only confirms Hezbullah has abided strictly by the ceasefire agreement and 1701 it should make everyone shut up for making excuses for Israeli aggressions.

Our Lebanese government and president still fail to issue a single condemnation and fail to show they can be responsible for our security

Statement by the Lebanese Minister of Foreign affairs:

As part of diplomatic efforts to curb today's escalation in southern Lebanon, and in consultation and coordination with the President of the Republic and the Council of Ministers, I contacted a number of Arab and foreign foreign ministers and officials, including:

Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi, Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdel Ati, EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaya Kallas, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot, US Deputy Special Envoy for Middle East Peace Morgan Ortagus, and US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs Natasha Franceschi.

🇱🇧l🇮🇱 Lebanese Minister of Information Paul Morcos:

"Israel is using these events as a pretext to attack Lebanese territory. It is the one that preempted its occupation and violates Resolution 1701 daily. It does not hesitate to target our territory with airstrikes without justification."

👏👏👏 Exactly what we want to hear. See, it isn't hard.

📹 Tonight the IDF attacked a caffe in Aita al-Shaab which was empty

The caffe was built by its owner so he can return back to his hometown and restart his business.

The attack is yet again an example of how the IDF is working to deny the return of locals to their towns.

🧵 Thread about the new IDF doctrine and the Lebanese diplomacy

At one point there was a serious discussion if the path to a secure and safeguard Lebanon was through diplomacy or strength which is enabled through a resistance. However with time, similar to how the deterrence of the resistance eroded through the mishaps of the latest battle, the worth of diplomatic solutions eroded but faster without any fruits.

The difference is that the path to diplomacy was a just a shiny slogan spoken through the mouths of many who either never achieved anything for the overall best of Lebanon or used diplomacy as a veil to hide their ill intentions that intended to drive Lebanon towards full surrender and not only remove it from the few remaining Arab states with an active political and military front against Israel.

The goal was to shift its whole identity to one that strips it from its history and culture and put it under the shroud of a client state with no real security and no real worth in this world. You get peace by submission and erasing any threat to the West.
The dilemma here is and will always be that the side that chose to not to be part of the resistance does not get burdened at all with loss. They are neither subjected by the enemy to murder, nor are they subjected to material loss and pain. This makes the cost of choosing to be on the other side of the front that assumes the moral high ground in the world affairs, easy and without any costs.

On the contrary, the resistance is not only facing the burdens of justifying its existence and then the burdens of building up strength despite the challenges, it is burdened by the immense costs of loss and material damages that affects it and affect its supporting base. This base that needs a lot of effort to keep rallied around the cause.

To explain this, compare the costs paid by Hezbullah in 2006 to secure 17 years of unpreceded peace and deterrence before the setback of 2024, verses the costs paid by its political opponents in Lebanon. All the achievements done by Hezbullah since 2000 were ridiculed, yet when the winds shifted in favor of its opponents without any cost or effort from them, and despite years of making wrong assumptions and decisions, they were hailed.

What I personally find annoying is the hypocrisy that these opponents showcase, and their disregard of any decency in politics. What I find particularly wrong and is within the scope of this, is how they refused to adhere to the legitimacy given to Hezbullah in the past decade through the ministerial statement and once it was dropped, it became the holy words of God and now Hezbullah is an outlaw.

However the disregard to any decency has been showcased particularly not by the general populace of Lebanese who are against Hezbullah's arms, but by the Lebanese Forces party whose officials today crossed an unpreceded low announcing that they are ready to mandate Israel to defeat Hezbullah in the south and the Syrians in the north. They took a step further and said its high time for the Lebanese army itself to fight Hezbullah and that they accept genocide against Shia if done by the Syrians. This is what their head of communication Charles Jabour said.

The issue of Hezbullah's arms is indeed a topic that can be discussed. While it is a norm for us, and we not only accept it but encourage it, in the wider definition of states it is indeed irregular to have an armed faction whose power at one point rivals that of states.

The only difference between this irregularity and any other, that Hezbullah did not leverage this power to take over the state and submit others like how everyone else in history did, and focused only on Israel. And had Hezbullah not face mishaps in the latest war, and had Israel not get a green light from the whole world to act as it pleases unrestrained by any laws of humanity, the discussion of the weapons would not have sparked such polarity as it is doing today.
