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.

Thriller on a Flight From Larnaca to Manchester: Woman Undressed and Shouting “Allahu Akbar” Tried to Enter the Cockpit
A hero father of three restrained a woman on a flight from Larnaca to Manchester when she stripped and started shouting “Allahu Akbar” while trying to get into the cockpit of the plane.
According to the Daily Mail, 35-year-old Phillip O’Brien was a passenger on the Jet2 flight from Larnaca to Manchester on Tuesday, August 9, when a woman caused panic shortly after take-off.
The woman, in her 30s, claimed to have explosives and asked the children if they were ready to die. In fact, she told terrified passengers and plane staff that her parents were members of ISIS.
The father intervened by restraining the woman and stated that when he asked her why she was saying such things, she replied “if I didn’t, there would be an explosion and everyone would die”.
The plane made an emergency landing in Paris and the woman was arrested by two French police officers.
