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. However, they can be found in a report by the Norwegian Refugee Council’s Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre issued on July 27, 2006.

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.

Adele 'So Excited' But Also 'Absolutely Terrified' to Host Saturday Night Live
Adele has revealed she is hosting Saturday Night Live for the first time.
The singer, 32, surprised fans with the news in an Instagram post on Sunday night.
She posted: "Bloooooody hellllll I'm so excited about this!! And also absolutely terrified! My first ever hosting gig and for SNL of all things!!!!"
Adele has never presented the US sketch show before, but appeared as a musical guest in October 2008, on the eve of the presidential election and in November 2015.
She said it felt like "full circle", adding: "It'll be almost 12 years to the day that I first appeared on the show, during an election... which went on to break my career in America, so it feels full circle and I just couldn't possibly say no!"
She joins the likes of Drake, Jennifer Lopez and Harry Styles among the singers who have presented the programme.
Her post implied she is continuing to work on new music, after she told guests at a wedding in February to expect a new album in September.
She also responded to a fan's Instagram comment in June telling them to "be patient".
The Rolling In The Deep singer will be joined by the American singer-songwriter H.E.R as a musical guest.
Adele's last album - 25 - released in 2015 - won album of the year at the Grammys.
She split from her ex-husband and father of her only child Simon Konecki last year.
