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.

Daou: Neither Hezbollah Nor Iran Has the Right to Plunge Lebanon Into a Brutal War to Serve a Regional Agenda
MP Mark Daou warned that neither Hezbollah nor Iran has the right to plunge Lebanon into a brutal war to serve a regional agenda.
“First, protecting Lebanon from any attack is the absolute priority. Neither Hezbollah nor Iran has any right to plunge Lebanon into a brutal war in the service of a regional agenda," Daou wrote on "X" platform, formerly known as twitter.
"Secondly, yesterday, today and tomorrow, we are with the Palestinian people, their rights, and their state with Jerusalem as their capital, and with the right of the Palestinian people to self-defense until a just and comprehensive peace is achieved. The Palestinian people have proven over time that they are steadfast and fighters, no matter how adverse the circumstances," he noted.
"Thirdly, there is no stability and peace in the region without a final solution to the Palestinian cause, and there is no victory over all religious extremism and armed attacks on civilians and places of worship without a just and comprehensive solution that grants the Palestinians their rights," Daou went on saying.
"Fourth, every oppressor has a day, no matter how much he thinks his weapon protects him, and his arrogance is a deterrent force against a people who have the right to life, to a state, to dignity, and sovereignty in any state," he added.
"Finally, Lebanon is capable of supporting Palestine to the extent of the strength of its state. Hence, if the state becomes weak and Lebanon turns into an undermined arena, then the cause will lose a supportive state, only to find an armed arena with militias fighting its people more than it stands with Palestine and voices slogans from a time that has ended with no return," Daou concluded.
Daou’s warning came after Hezbollah on Sunday said it fired “a large number of artillery shells and guided missiles” at three Israeli military posts in the occupied Shebaa Farms .
Israel responded by firing artillery shells at areas in south Lebanon as one of its drones struck “Hezbollah infrastructure” in the Shebaa Farms area in response to the early morning attack.
