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.

Israel Builds Military Road Network Across Southern Lebanon, Reports Say
Israeli forces are building roads through mountains and valleys in southern Lebanon to connect military positions, while carrying out demolitions in areas under their control, reports said.
The construction is taking place in the western and central sectors of southern Lebanon, where Israeli troops maintain positions on occupied Lebanese territory, Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency reported Saturday.
In the central sector, the work includes areas around Aita al-Shaab, Maroun al-Ras, Bint Jbeil and Aitaroun. Maroun al-Ras overlooks the Israeli border settlement of Avivim.
In the western sector, construction and demolition activities have been reported around Naqoura, Yarine, Dhayra, Marwahin and Alma al-Shaab, where Lebanese army troops and United Nations peacekeepers are also deployed.
The developments come as Israel is expanding a network of military roads and outposts across southern Lebanon that stretches nearly 90 kilometers, raising concerns that it intends to maintain a prolonged military presence in the area, Al Jazeera reported Saturday.
Satellite imagery reviewed by the broadcaster shows roads and military positions being built across the region, including in areas where Israeli forces have maintained control since the conflict with Hezbollah. Al Jazeera reported on the construction from the southern town of Baraachit.
The military works are continuing despite diplomatic efforts to secure an Israeli withdrawal and prevent a renewed escalation. US-sponsored military and technical talks between Lebanon and Israel were held in Florida last month but ended without an announced breakthrough or joint statement.
Reports have indicated that the two sides agreed to continue negotiations, despite persistent disagreements over an Israeli withdrawal from Lebanese territory and the disarmament of Hezbollah.
Reuters reported in October that Israeli forces had withdrawn from the southern Lebanese village of West Zawtar under a US-backed pilot arrangement but continued to hold positions in neighboring East Zawtar.
