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.

Israeli Foreign Ministry: Lebanon’s Government Is a "Puppet" Lacking Independence
The Israeli Foreign Ministry has sharply criticized the Lebanese government, describing it as a "puppet government" that is incapable of making independent decisions.
This statement comes amidst ongoing tensions in the region, with Israel accusing Lebanon of failing to implement United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701, which calls for the disarmament of militias, including Hezbollah.
"Every Hezbollah site is a legitimate target, whether in the south or elsewhere. We cannot continue to accept its presence south of the Litani River," the Israeli foreign ministry spokesperson told Al-Hadath news channel.
When discussing Iran's influence and military activities, the spokesperson emphasized that Israel's response to the latest missile attack would be carefully calculated.
"Our response to Iran will not target civilian sites and will take security and diplomatic considerations into account," the spokesperson clarified, further asserting that the decision to respond to Iranian attacks has already been made.
"Our response will impose an extremely high price on Iran," the spokesperson added. "We will respond to Iran in a significant manner, and it will pay a heavy price."
