Lebanon’s fear of a ‘fragile’ fall of Hezbollah-Israel has ended the shooting

A month after Hezbollah’s operation with Israel began, there is growing concern in Lebanon about its possible collapse.

“We are sitting on a time bomb: We don’t know when it will explode again,” a Lebanese government source told dpa.

In late November, the Iranian-backed Hezbollah and Israeli forces agreed to end hostilities after a year of attacks by both sides. While the ceasefire remains in place, violations occur from time to time, some of which lead to deaths.

“Preventing civilians from returning to their homes in certain areas of southern Lebanon raises our concern that Israel is not respecting all conditions for an end to the war,” said another government source close to Hezbollah.

The Lebanese army said on Thursday that Israel attacked the southern areas of al-Qantara, Adsheet al-Qusayr and Wadi al-Hujeir in violation of the ceasefire agreement.

The army said it has since strengthened its deployment in the aforementioned areas while continuing to monitor the situation in collaboration with the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL).

Hezbollah spokesman Ali Fayyad condemned the attack in a statement as an “extremely dangerous” development that poses “great danger.”

Makram Rabbah, a political analyst and fierce critic of Hezbollah, told dpa: “What is happening is not a violation of the ceasefire agreement but the implementation of a ceasefire that has given Israel the right to pursue any attempt to re-arm Hezbollah.”

Since the agreement was suspended on November 27, the number of people tortured by Israel has risen to more than 259, a Lebanese security source said.

As part of the agreement, Hezbollah will withdraw to positions north of the Litani River, about 30 kilometers from the Israel-Lebanon border.

Meanwhile, Israel has committed to a gradual withdrawal of its troops from Lebanon, which is expected to be completed within 60 days. The Lebanese Armed Forces will oversee the implementation and implementation of the agreement.

Riad Kahwaji, founder of the Institute for Near East and Gulf Military Analysis, told dpa that Israel is using this situation because it knows that Hezbollah has been heavily attacked.

He said the international community is ignoring Israel’s violations because no one wants Hezbollah to rebuild its weapons.

Kahwaji said this is the case “as long as Hezbollah does not respond to violations of the law,” adding that he thinks it is unlikely that it will do so because it knows “this will create a huge response” against it.
