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.

Saudi Arabian Grand Prix: Carlos Sainz Ruled Out and Replaced by Oliver Bearman
Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz has been diagnosed with appendicitis and will miss the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
The Spaniard, 29, will be replaced for the rest of the race weekend in Jeddah by the team's 18-year-old British reserve driver Oliver Bearman.
Sainz had been unwell for two days, saying Thursday practice was "one of my toughest days in a Formula 1 car."
He had thought he had a stomach bug but appendicitis was diagnosed and he will require surgery.
Bearman was in Jeddah competing in the Formula 2 championship and had taken pole position for the feature race in qualifying on Thursday.
His appearance in the Ferrari will mark his full F1 debut, although he drove a Haas car in first practice at the Mexican and Abu Dhabi Grands Prix last year.
Ferrari have not said when Sainz will return to the cockpit.
In 2022, Williams driver Alex Albon missed the Italian Grand Prix with appendicitis and returned for the next race in Singapore.
The race after Saudi Arabia is the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne on 20-22 March.
