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.

Washington Demands That Israel Explains the Killing of a Palestinian Who Holds American Citizenship
The US State Department called on Israel to explain the killing of an American citizen in the West Bank. The father of an American boy of Palestinian origin who was killed by Israeli fire is mobilizing against US support for Israel.
The US State Department confirmed that work is underway to uncover the circumstances of the killing of the American citizen, according to 'Russia Today'.
It indicated that a request had been submitted to the Israeli authorities to provide more information about the killing of the American citizen.
American citizen Tawfiq Hafez Ajaq, 17 years old, was killed on Friday by Israeli forces’ gunfire east of the city of Ramallah in the central West Bank.
The Palestinian News Agency quoted a source at the Palestine Medical Complex in Ramallah as saying, “Hejazi was shot in the head, and his injury was described as critical before his death was announced.”
Earlier, Ajak's father, who holds American citizenship, criticized the military support provided by the United States to Israel.
His criticism came during his son's funeral on Saturday in the village of Al-Mazraa Al-Sharqiya, located in the West Bank, where the family lives.
