The Emptying of Baalbek Is a Moment to Take Stock
“Large numbers of people continue to flee their homes every day, as Israel’s military operations in Lebanon have been going on unabated.” These disturbing words could be from almost any news report about Israel’s invasion of its northern neighbour over the past month.

A Future Without Hezbollah
At the end of September, when Israel’s campaign to destroy Hezbollah was reaching its height, I met one of the group’s supporters in a seaside café in western Beirut. He was a middle-aged man with a thin white beard and the spent look of someone who had not slept for days. He was an academic of sorts, not a fighter, but his ties to Hezbollah were deep and long-standing.

Benjamin Hassan Makes History for Lebanese Tennis at Paris Olympics
In a historic moment for Lebanese tennis, Benjamin Hassan delivered a stunning performance against American Christopher Eubanks, securing a straight-sets victory (6-4, 6-2) in the first round of the Paris Olympics this Sunday afternoon at Roland-Garros.
Hassan's win came swiftly on the heels of his compatriot Hady Habib’s commendable effort against the world No. 3 Spaniard, Carlos Alcaraz, who triumphed (6-3, 6-1) in their match.
Ranked 170th globally, Hassan exhibited remarkable technical prowess, overpowering the towering 2.01-meter American, a Wimbledon quarter-finalist currently ranked 105th in the ATP rankings.
The 29-year-old Hassan is scheduled to return to the court later this evening, around 8:30 PM Beirut time, to compete in the doubles tournament alongside Hady Habib. The Lebanese duo, who have also partnered in the Davis Cup, will go head-to-head with the experienced Australian pair of Matthew Ebden and John Peers.
