Snip:

Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah issued its first statement since the start of a ceasefire with Israel on 27 November, revealing that its forces killed at least 130 Israeli soldiers and injured about 1,250 in under two months of battles inside Lebanon.

[...]

Parallel to these, Hezbollah also says it launched 105 special ‘Khaybar’ operations, which started following the assassination of former leader Hassan Nasrallah. These special operations targeted sensitive sites as deep as 150km inside Israel using advanced ballistic rockets, cruise missiles, and high-end assault drones.

Inside Lebanon, the resistance says it destroyed 59 Merkava tanks, 11 military bulldozers, two Humvees, two armored vehicles, and two personnel carriers. Successful anti-air operations also brought down 6 Hermes 450 drones, 2 Hermes 900 drones, and a quadcopter.

“Throughout the entirety of the Israeli ground operation into Lebanese territories … the invading forces failed to occupy or settle in any of the frontline towns, which had been under fire since the start of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood," Hezbollah says in its statement, adding that Tel Aviv “failed to establish an isolated military and security zone, and was unable to obstruct rocket and drone launches into occupied territories.”

So what I'm hearing is that this ceasefire was agreed by the US, France, and the Lebanese Govt. rather than Hezbollah. It feels like a soft coup in Lebanon for everyone BUT the force actually the fighting Israel to end the fighting.

Hezb has no choice really. If they said no, the US would force UNIFIL to help the IDF by installing a puppet president. But by saying yes, they've been made to press pause on the Israeli civil war countdown.

I'm still skeptical if this helps or hinders anyone except Gazans, who are now under more pressure than ever.

maybe I'm missing it, but no-one seems to be mentioning last year's Thanksgiving ceasefire in their analysis of this one. it feels a lot like the same game plan to placate the foreign masses at the onset of the holidays. I'd bet good odds on bombs dropping again before x-mas under the pretense that Hezbollah has failed to uphold some pedantically ridiculous/impossible interpretation of terms

evidence reveals that Hezbollah members continued to live under the kindergartens in the territory that they were supposed to leave.

The US Military wrote a very frank assessment of the 2006 Lebanon war, and it's remarkable how similar both conflicts are.

“The Resistance remained steadfast in its pledge and struggle for more than 13 months and was able to achieve victory against the delusional enemy, rendering it incapable of diminishing its determination or breaking its resolve," Hezbollah's 4,638th statement since 8 October 2023 reads.

NEVER! STOP! POSTING!
