Lebanon… The Truck of Explosives and Lessons Ignored
The affair of the explosives transported from the Bekaa to Beirut has dispelled hopes that the second anniversary of the assassination of the former secretary-general, Hassan Nasrallah, would be an occasion for reviewing the party's military and political choices in light of its heavy losses and of what Lebanon, and the party's base in particular, has suffered in killing, displacement, and destruction. The discourse of the party and its secretary-general, Naim Qassem, affirmed the continuation of its course and defended it, rather than holding the leadership, its policies, and their results to account.

How Hezbollah Is Preventing Its Disarmament, Again
Hezbollah supporters blocked roads in Beirut and protested the Lebanese government’s attempts to assert sovereignty on October 16 and 17, after a series of government internal security raids compromised Hezbollah’s weapons smuggling, illicit finance, and de facto statelets within Lebanon. Hezbollah officials expressed fury at the government’s unannounced and entirely legitimate police action, and began threatening Lebanon’s government and population with civil conflict if the government continued to challenge Hezbollah’s criminal and terrorist activities on October 19. The Lebanese government responded with measures that Hezbollah officials likely did not expect, including major military deployments to the Hezbollah stronghold in Dahieh, Beirut’s southern suburbs. Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam’s recent statements of resolve to restore the rule of law contrast entirely with Hezbollah’s desired effect, which is to freeze the government into inaction using credible threats of violent unrest.

Aoun Rejects Interference in Yemeni Affairs Amid Accusations of Hezbollah Role in Houthi Military Operations
President Joseph Aoun reaffirmed Lebanon’s support for Yemen’s sovereignty and rejected any interference in its internal affairs during a phone call with the head of Yemen’s Presidential Leadership Council, following accusations by Sanaa that Iran and Hezbollah are helping direct Houthi military operations.
Aoun spoke with Rashad Mohammed Al-Alimi on Wednesday, telling him that Lebanon opposed any individuals or groups interfering in Yemen’s domestic affairs or engaging in activities that threaten the country’s security, stability and the safety of its people.
He said Lebanon stood alongside Yemen and its people, expressing hope that the country would regain security, stability and prosperity, strengthen national unity and ease the suffering of its population.
Al-Alimi thanked Aoun for his position and for Lebanon’s solidarity with Yemen. He, in turn, wished Lebanon continued security, stability and progress, and the Lebanese people well-being and peace of mind.
The call came after Yemeni Interior Minister Ibrahim Ali Haidan accused Iran and Lebanon’s Hezbollah of playing a direct role in directing Houthi military operations, saying 21 foreign specialists from the two groups were working alongside the Iran-backed movement in six governorates.
Haidan said the group included 14 specialists from Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and seven from Hezbollah. Their role, he said, went beyond training and supplying weapons to include operational planning, command and control, maritime operations and the development of missile and drone capabilities.
In a statement issued by the Interior Ministry, Haidan said the specialists were deployed in Hodeidah, Sanaa, Saada, Hajjah, Amran and al-Khawkhah. Eight were based in Hodeidah, four in Sanaa, four in Saada, two in Hajjah, two in Amran and one in al-Khawkhah.
Their areas of expertise included military operations management, command and control, ballistic missiles, drones, surveillance and communications systems, radar and electronic warfare. They also oversaw supply networks and the smuggling of military components, according to the minister.
Haidan further accused the specialists of coordinating maritime operations, selecting commercial vessels as targets and developing explosive-laden boats and autonomous underwater vehicles. He said they also trained Houthi fighters in laying mines, siege tactics and urban warfare.
