The Israel-Lebanon ceasefire began Wednesday morning. Less than two days later, it seems to be faltering, with multiple reports of Israeli attacks across southern Lebanon, and claims of violations by both sides.
Israel carried out an airstrike against the outskirts of Baysariyeh, which is near Tyre. They confirmed the attack, saying they were targeting a Hezbollah storage facility after seeing “terrorist activity.” They added in their statement that they were “acting to enforce violations of the ceasefire.”
Though the claims of violations are coming from both sides, so far it is only Israeli forces whose violations actually involve firing. Lebanese people continue to try to return to their homes in the south, despite Israel’s military forbidding them to do so.
There are multiple reports of Israel carrying out artillery shelling against towns and villages across southern Lebanon this afternoon. Strikes were reported against the towns of Halta, Taybeh, Khiam, and Rmeish. In Rmeish the attack damaged a supermarket and a home. Three were injured in Taybeh.
There were also reported Israeli tank shellings in several places, including the village of Markaba. In that incident, a car was attacked and multiple civilians were wounded. Israeli ground troops also opened fire on vehicles multiple times across southern Lebanon, incidents which happened both on Wednesday and Thursday.
Israel presented the people they were shooting at as a “number of suspects,” and said that any vehicles in southern Lebanon amount to a ceasefire violation. There is no indication vehicles are actually forbidden by the terms of the ceasefire. Shooting at people, as Israel has been throughout the day, is plainly a violation, however.
Not one more dime for this country who violates every condition of peace.
Israel has the US by the cajones en mass!
In my opinion it's more a case of both serving the same cabal.
WE WILL BE Judged BY THE COMPANY we KEEP!
I'd suggest having UN observers in southern Lebanon, but that would GUARANTEE the IDF opens fire.
"…and said that any vehicles in southern Lebanon amount to a ceasefire violation."
What in the actual f**k ??? Does the ASI want South Lebanon as last seen in 1895 ? Horses & carts gonna count as "vehicles" ? From what we've seen in Gaza, wheelchairs will be "legal targets".
There ARE UN peacekeepers in south Lebanon which the IOF have been shelling and killing since last October. These UN peacekeepers have been there since 2006 when the last Israeli invasion and occupation of south Lebanon ended. And yes, the terrorist Zionist state wants south Lebanon up to the Latani River as part of its "Greater Israel" project.
Oh, of course – my mistake. Here I was specifically thinking “UN Observers” when UN Peacekeepers are totally Already A Thing There.
Thanks !
Give me a break. The UN “peacekeepers” since 2006 were at best willingly blind and at worst complicit in allowing Hezbollah to build their tunnels and arms storage facilities along the border with Israel in preparation for an invasion contrary to UN 1701. This time it will be different. Hezbollah must stay north of the Litani or this won’t last
Israel broke the “cease fire” shortly after it began on Wed. morning when it fired on journalists. No surprise here. BOTH Hezbollah and the IOF are supposed leave southern Lebanon, not just Hezbollah, within 60 days.
Building things is not anything the UN can do anything about, even building underground. Nor should they.
Healthy cynicism Uncle S.
There's been UN troops (acting as observers) in Southern Lebanon since 2006. That has achieved nothing other than Israel killing some of them gratuitously.
100% correct. Had myself a "404 : Brain not found" moment there when I forgot that was the case…!
It happens to the best of us. XD
wheelchairs will be "legal targets".
That's because the zionist bastard mentality thinks wheelchairs are equipped with machine guns…!
the most amoral army in the world
The most amoral wanna be nation in the world.
The most amoral wanna be nation with backing of US/Israel in the world…!

"Netanyahu has claimed Israel will maintain 'full military freedom of action' in southern Lebanon."
As with shooting people eager to return home and being "disobedient" with the "rules"
"Though the claims of violations are coming from both sides, so far it is only Israeli forces whose violations actually involve firing." Sounds about right. . .

However it is indeed related. No end to the regional war for the time being, hard to see how it can with such warmongers at the helm of the USA and such treacherous puppets at the head of Europe and most of the Arabias.
This is how they respond to BRICS.
BRICS are not coherent among them, they’re not a military bloc like NATOplus. If anything Iran and Russia, all the rest are not really involved, definitely not India, which is rather pro-Israel. But Russia is also quite pro-Israel and pro-Turkey, and they will surely again keep the fight restricted to Syria’s borders.
Its all Israeli and US zionist plot for distraction…!
Mutually assured distraction!
;-}
BRICS is a economic block which poses a threat to Western dominance.
It’s a loose geoeconomic bloc indeed and it does pose some of a threat, granted, but they’re each going their own way to a large extent because of their own mantras, notably “multipolarity” but also in the case of China to be focused on business and not judging the regimes. what leads them to dangerous friendships like, quite notably, Morocco (US and Israel’s darling). North Africa is under the radar for most people but it’s where most clearly we can observe how China is not a reliable ally and will do almost anything for money. That’s why Algeria snubbed the invitation to become associate member of BRICS and has said that it will only work in bilateral terms, which right now means: Russia and Italy primarily. Another instance of Chinese opportunistic deviousness is Peru, where Beijing is collaborating with the pro-US putschist regime of Dina Boluarte.
It’s not just China, both China and Russia have been dangerously flirting with Saudi Arabia and Turkey, which remain strongly under the US thumb. Also Brazil infamously hedged Venezuela recently and India is of course double-dealing with everyone, remaining a close ally of Israel while also cooperating with Iran vs the Pakistan economic blockade.
It’s very messy and all the chief actors are capitalist mafioso bosses, so believing in BRICS (or any of their members) as gold-hearted savior of Humanity is just all kinds of wrong. They’re a counterweight to US unipolarist world domination but they’re full of contradictions and pettiness.
Total scam, just as I said.
The Lebanese returning to the south are idiots – there is no ceasefire. If you left once, you'll leave again. Get a clue.
This entire thing was merely a ploy for Biden to get up and say he's "ending the war" and the Abraham Accords are still on track and everything will be fine.
I'm amazed at how even I thought this was worth commenting on.
In reality, we have to IGNORE these daily news cycle events and keep our eyes focused on the overall objectives of the entities involved in these events.
Read my lips: None of these people are going to stop. Ever. Until they are either deposed, shot in the head, or blown up.
It's an irrational "ceasefire" that gives Israel a victory it could not secure on the battlefield. It won't hold: it's not rational.
Simplicity is best Maju, always.
I perceive Israelis as being lost souls…
Reality is complicated even if our minds (souls don’t seem real: identity is memory and I don’t remember even my early childhood, let alone my previous life) crave for simplicity.
How embarrassing to be any entity in Lebanon that's not Hezbollah, accepting murder and destruction of country time and again by the US/Israel and continuing to roll out the red carpet of their representatives every time they visit to lie. Seems only a small % of humans choose to live with dignity.
It is such a glaring mismatch when a USA President-elect cozies up to a war criminal like Bibi Nutty Yahoo. Or is it? If Trump continues to give his "friend" Nutty Yahoo everything he needs he will go down with the ship! Americans FOR THE MOST PART ae fed up with cleaning up Israel's "diaper spills"!
If trump wants glory and prestige, and not be labeled Genocide Don in US history, he should stop the criminal minister…!
"Israel carried out an airstrike against the outskirts of Baysariyeh, which is near Tyre. They confirmed the attack, saying they were targeting a Hezbollah storage facility after seeing “terrorist activity.” They added in their statement that they were “acting to enforce violations of the ceasefire.”
In other words: "We violated the ceasefire in order to enforce the ceasefire."
Kind of like, "We had to destroy the village in order to save it."
Hezbollah should void this fake superficial ceasefire and start sending Tel Aviv colossal number of rockets…!
And Peace? Will that fly as well?….
If Israel/US can force the Lebanese government to a temporary peace without Hezbollah approval, why can't Hezbollah do the same to Israel…?!
Unfortunate truth is that there can be no Peace in the Middle-East so long as the Zionist entity exists on this planet. The faster people work to erradicate this entity by whatever means, the faster the world will come to Peace.
I am inclined to agree but the solution is much simpler… Christ should come again under the protection of the Heavenly Father!…
It would be nice to take the hate out of people's hearts rather than having to put bullets through hearts to rid the hate. But then again that would depend upon the people harboring the hate.
"the world will come to Peace."
LOL. Sure, the only reason the world has war war is because of Israel. Can you explain why the current war in Ukraine is related to the existence of Israel?
The point is, there has NEVER been even a little peace since the Zionist Israelis took over the land that belonged to the Palestinians. They have yet to show any willingness to show any respect for the human rights of the Palestinian people, the true OWNERS of Palestine.
Brutal, sadistic genocide is all they know, they are evil on legs, the Zionists are soulless human animals, all else but Menschen.
Again, and this has what to do with world peace? The quote is: "the world will come to Peace" .
Without context the quote is meaningless.
The point of publicizing a fake ceasefire is for the Israelis to break it. Then to again blame others for its failure.
That did not take long…

”Everybody must get stoned!”
". . . Iran has already shifted its support to Yemen and these Iraqi forces."
This statement in my long note above is not clear. I don't think it means Iran has stopped aiding Hezbollah but that it is expanding its support.
I laughed when I heard about the “ceasefire”. 60 days!? Yeah riiiiight! My guess was it wouldn't last 60 minutes. And now, though my guess re the duration may have been overstated, the idea that the “kill them root and branch” Zionists would do anything other than disregard the agreement at their whim, violate and otherwise use it in whatever deceitful fashion was convenient for them to continue their campaign of genocide, was utterly ridiculous.
Ohh wait, perhaps term “genocide” is somehow problematic for you? I don't like its use either, it's too extremist, lacks precision, and gives the Hasbarists and their Western stooge propagandists wiggle room to say "Oh no, there's no genocide going on here … I mean after all, we can see that there are still plenty of people alive. So how could that possibly be genocide?"
So let's just stick with the facts: mass murder in a war of annihilation against innocent women and children. That's the ticket.
Interesting times.
Impression from MEE in the last few days, as with this new one (Nov 28)
https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/ceasefire-lebanon-what-now-axis-resistance
Hezbollah has "decoupled" from Gaza for the moment, although there are some 37 to 40,000 Hezbollah fighters remaining in Southern Lebanon. There seem to be internal Lebanon difficulties as to Hezbollah's continuing role, i.e. some division or uncertainty in the Lebanese political/resistance forces that I assume relates to all the destruction and deaths, which have spiked tremendously since the Israeli slaughtering expanded from Gaza to Lebanon in September. As a report said yesterday, time is needed for the Lebanese to re-unite and determine their action in the resistance. Meanwhile, other forces in the resistance, such as groups in Iraq, are not pulling back, are possibly even expanding. and Iran has already shifted its support to Yemen and these Iraqi forces. But people in Lebanon are jubilant as they see the ceasefire as a victory, and many of them as a result rushed back to their homes waving flags and posters of leaders such as Nasrallah. This in turn has disturbed ordinary Israelis as to whether Hezbollah has been pushed back or is faking in some way. Israel has asserted itself again with its bullying military power to attack people returning in the south of Lebanon. I tend to see the whole business of what Israel/US is doing as a sort of “blackmail,” to the effect that 'we've got the air force, the bombs, the power to exterminate you like we're doing in Gaza so you'd better do this cease-fire or else' and this is a ruse to try to drive Hezbollah back or away while clamping down on southern areas to stop incoming weapons and reduce this dangerous area which has been causing a lot of IDF casualties. Plus a ruse to buy time until Trump sets up in January where a bigger fuller onslaught will re-commence including attacking Iran—a ruse toward this aim, I think, but surely Trump isn't that stupid?!!? His batch of cabinet picks sound as if they ARE that stupid, this Gorka asshole, for example. I doubt this cease-fire will last.
So, who had less than 2 days in the Israel breaks the bullshit cease fire pool?
I had at less than 1hr.
it seems to be faltering, with multiple reports of Israeli attacks
Is anyone honestly surprised?

That news didn't make it into the MSM, at least I couldn't find any. Did anyone actually think there would really be a ceasefire that would last? That would stop the atrocities and mass killing and hinder the greater Israel policy.
A real ceasefire would have been the real surprise.
Bibi had to empty his bladder; otherwise, the ceasefire would have ended immediately.
It is not a ceasefire. Israel kept on shooting, and its army kept on pushing into Lebanon.
This is just gaslighting by the Biden Admin, aimed at poisoning the Trump Admin, at the expense of any real national interests of the US, and at the expense of being even worse war criminals than Biden's people already are.
