Let us be very clear

The ceasefire that happened in Lebanon is temporary and more dangerous than the war continuing

It connects the end of the war to a comprehensive peace deal with Israel and normalization including a demilitarization of south Lebanon where the Lebanese army can be deployed, but only with small arms

It paves the way to secure Israeli borders forever

This war is painful and so far the Lebanese casualties are too damn high, but any surrender now would be a waste of all that blood and youth lost (in vain)

The only reason a ceasefire happened is because of Iran and anyone that tells you otherwise is a liar.

The IDF didn't finish clearing Bint Jbeil and they didn't finish some of the towns they need to hold a security zone in south Lebanon. They ignored the Lebanese government for the full period of the war and Mashallah only suddenly agreed to talk following the Iranian American talks.

The only difference and I tell you clearly, the U.S and Israel are working on nullifying this Iranian effort by carving a new separate way for Lebanon and detach it from Iran which would put Hezbullah in a dire situation having to handle both the Lebanese state and Israel.

They want to separate both paths and if they succeed, this is a major loss for Hezbullah and an ever weaker position by Iran (failure).

If they succeed, the situation will be more bleak because Lebanese are not rallying around anti Israeli rhetoric and the Shia cannot carry this burden alone nor fight the other political parties when the Israeli war is ongoing and the Shia population is sheltering in those areas.

I hope you guys can understand what I mean.

Worse? What the f is this ceasefire when demolishing of houses and towns continue? At least during war we can bomb the towns where Israeli forces are working on. Not let them demolish our homes in peace

Do you guys understand what it is to lose a home you spent years and decades saving for?

The whole world is complicit in this well documented Jewish crime in south Lebanon and before that in Gaza. Demolition of towns and houses is a grave war crime and an ever graver moral loss.

Damn you and damn everyone

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท Iranian Foreign Minister: In accordance with the ceasefire agreement in Lebanon, we announce the full opening of the Strait of Hormuz to all commercial vessels for the remainder of the truce period.

Damn everyone and anyone who contributed in weakening Lebanon by forging a path separate than the one being guarded by Iran

They want to make us a prey for Israel

They do not understand that if Iran succeeds in making a deal with Trump, Netanyahu will be handled like an old used toy and forced to withdraw in south Lebanon FULLY

Before the ceasefire took effect, the Israeli demolished new towns

Carried out massive waves of bombing that killed countless families

And only recently a few ago drone striked a motorcycle in south Lebanon.

Hezbullah will have to ensure what happened before is not going to happen again

Countless people came back home to get a breath of relief from their own homes and towns

Many will leave back soon because of the threats and the ongoing needs to rebuild

Please understand that the war is not done. Don't enter houses that aren't yours. Don't report seeing anything and don't touch anything

โ€” ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡พ/๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ Syrian President, Ahmad Al-Sharaa:

โ€˜Any country's recognition of Israel's claim to the occupied Golan Heights is invalid and illegal because this is a right belonging to the Syrian people.

The Golan is Syrian land. It is not for any state to give away or recognize.

More than 134 countries from around the world recognize that the Golan Heights are unequivocally Syrian territory, occupied by Israel.โ€™

Just before the ceasefire with Hezbollah took effect, the IDF says it carried out a special operation in southern Lebanon during which troops seized control of a strategic ridge.

The Israeli Air Force's elite Shaldag unit landed at the so-called Cristofani Ridge, several kilometers north of Mount Hermon, and established control in the area.

The military says the special forces landed in the area just minutes before the ceasefire took effect.

IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir, who approved the raid, observed the operation alongside IAF chief Maj. Gen. Tomer Bar at the IAF's command center.

Hezbullah released phenomenal footage of a drone dropping a bomb at Israeli forces operating an artillery unit deep in south Lebanon

Soldier ran away a mere seconds and suffered injuries.

Had been multiple drones been active, the whole unit would have been wiped out in major success for Hezbullah.

However drone and FPV utilizations has been very shy

This took place in Al-Bayada

We simply have to wait and see what happens. Everything else is unclear.
You can win a war during hostilities yet lose it during negotiation

You can survive a war but the fall for demise during ceasefire talks

Iran's survival was how it won this war. It didn't win a clear military victory in terms of military. This is not something simple when you fight the greatest power in history without any contender. This is major success that is unrivalled.

However the details in the fine print are what matters because those who attacked Iran can again attack one day.

As for Lebanon, yeah it's murky and not good at all. IDF presence in south Lebanon is a big meh..they can be forced out eventually

The risk here is a ceasefire that they continue to demolish towns in and the wipe out the place where more than 200,000 live and turn the area into a polluted wasteland

Then at the same time the Lebanese state persue talks with Israel for peace as the dog hinted tonight and said he is ready to meet and go anywhere to secure peace.

Peace with Israel after all it did. Lebanon is losing an opportunity to tie it's fate to a generational deal between the U.S and Iran

Why is it not doing it? Because defeating Hezbullah and destroying it is a task more loved by Lebanese than by Israel

That Lebanese state and others hate Hezbullah more than Israel. That working with this Iran-Us deal will protect Hezbullah and this is something they don't want

After Israel went nuts after being shocked by Trump's Public statement that they are no longer allowed to attack Lebanon, the Trump administration issued a clarification.

Israel can attack in self defense and there is no limit to what self defense can be defined. It can be a new war under the pretext of self defense.

โ—๏ธA U.S. official clarifies Trump's Lebanon comments: โ€œThe Presidentโ€™s ceasefire agreement between Lebanon and Israel clearly states that Israel will not carry out any offensive military operations against Lebanese targets but preserves its right to self-defense against planned, imminent, or ongoing attacks"

This is a ceasefire that the IDF wants to have the Lebanese state and army fight on its behalf to disarm Hezbullah after the IDF acknowledged clearly that the IDF reserves are exhausted and the IDF is incapable of invading all of Lebanon to disarm every town and village

The current lines of occupation are similar to the 1980's excluding some important area they didn't enter.

The IDF ground invasion is pathetic, a few km into Lebanon against towns they invaded and attacked and levelled in the 2024 and softened in the support front that sit under high ridges the IDF sits in (in Israel) after proactive attacks and depopulation for 15 months.

Hezbullah didn't do as good as you would want to see Israel defeated as. But they did all what is humanly possible and excelled under whatever harsh condition there was and still is

The IDF says the ceasefire will allow it to fortify the occupation in the current area to protect Israel from ATGMs attacks (this is why we need dozens of FPVs)

The IDF will demolish towns and build bases inside Lebanon as a precaution that the Lebanese state will not be able to disarm Hezbullah

If the Lebanese state fails and occupation stays, resistance acts and war happens again

Do you guys understand the circle of events here?
