This last week marked the anniversary of the rescue of my late father, Amer Fakhoury, a Lebanese-born Christian, by our government from Beirut, where he had been unlawfully detained for seven months by Hezbollah. His case was not an isolated incident, but rather a revealing moment that exposed a deeper and more troubling reality within Lebanon’s political and security landscape.

There's Only So Much Lebanon's Army Can Do Against Hezbollah
On March 2, Hezbollah fired rockets at Israel – though the decision for it to do so was almost certainly made by Iran – carrying Lebanon into a new war with Israeli forces. On the same day, Lebanon's government declared Hezbollah's military and security activities illegal. Shortly thereafter, army commander General Rodolphe Haykal made it clear to Prime Minister Nawaf Salam that the military did not have the means to implement the government's decision. Now, the Lebanese army finds itself in an uncomfortable position.

Israel Assesses More Than 250 Hezbollah Operatives Killed in Last Week’s Strike Wave Across Lebanon
The Israeli military said it has killed more than 250 Hezbollah operatives in a major wave of airstrikes carried out across Lebanon last week, including several senior commanders, as it continues to assess the full impact of the operation.
In a statement, the Israeli army said the figure was confirmed following ongoing intelligence monitoring by its Military Intelligence Directorate since the large-scale strikes launched on April 8. The military said the operations targeted sites in Beirut, the Bekaa Valley, and southern Lebanon.
“Following continuous intelligence monitoring… we can now confirm that the number of terrorists eliminated in the strikes… has surpassed 250,” the Israeli military said, adding that efforts to verify additional casualties are ongoing and that the total could rise further.
Lebanon’s health ministry has reported that more than 350 people were killed in the strikes, without distinguishing between civilians and combatants.
According to the Israeli military, those killed include several high-ranking Hezbollah figures. Among them were Hassan Mustafa Nasser, head of the group’s logistics headquarters; Ali Qassem, Abu Ali Abbas, and Ali Hijazi, described as senior commanders within Hezbollah’s intelligence unit; and Abu Muhammad Habib, identified as the deputy head of the group’s missile unit.
The Times of Israel quoted a senior Israeli intelligence as saying that the targeted commanders possessed “extensive experience and knowledge that has now been cut short,” describing their deaths as a significant blow to Hezbollah’s operational capacity.
“Within one minute, we struck dozens of Hezbollah command centers and eliminated hundreds of terrorists,” the official said. “The elimination of the commanders had a strategic and wide-ranging impact, affecting all aspects of the organization’s capabilities.”
He added that the military is still evaluating the full extent of the damage inflicted.
“We have not yet completed our assessment, and we are identifying additional eliminated operatives every day,” he said.
