#Lebanon #Hezbollah #Israel - Hezbollah supports ceasefire efforts in Lebanon, deputy leader says • FRANCE 24 English

8 October 2024

Hezbollah left the door open on Tuesday to a negotiated ceasefire with Israel after Israeli forces raised the stakes in the conflict with its Iran-backed enemy by making new incursions in the south of Lebanon. In what could be the latest in a series of major blows to Hezbollah, Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant said it appeared the replacement for slain Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah had been "eliminated". Hashem Safieddine, a top Hezbollah official, was widely expected to succeed Nasrallah.

FRANCE 24's Rawad Taha reports from Beirut.

חיזבאללה השאיר את הדלת פתוחה ביום שלישי להפסקת אש עם ישראל לאחר שכוחות ישראליים העלו את הסיכון בסכסוך מול אויבו הנתמך על ידי איראן על ידי פלישות חדשות בדרום לבנון. במה שיכול להיות האחרון בסדרת המכות הגדולות לחיזבאללה, שר ההגנה הישראלי יואב גלנט אמר כי נראה כי המחליף של מנהיג חיזבאללה ההרוג סייד חסן נסראללה "חוסל". האשם ספידין, בכיר בחיזבאללה, היה צפוי להיות יורש נסראללה.

#israel #iran #lebanon #gaza - ‘Nobody benefits from such a war’: Former Israeli official: Al Jazeera English

3 October 2024

At least seven people have been killed and eight wounded in Israeli air strikes targeting central Beirut overnight.

It hit a building in the area of Bachoura - just one kilometre from Lebanon's Parliament and the Prime Minister's office. Meanwhile, more Israeli strikes have targeted Dahiyeh, the southern suburb of Beirut where Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah was killed last week.

Israel has hit the area several times in the past two weeks, saying it was targeting Hezbollah sites. And in Gaza, an overnight Israeli strike has killed at least one Palestinian and injured another in Deir el-Balah, in the central part of the strip.

An Israeli helicopter gunship struck a tent housing displaced people in a school compound. Alon Liel is a former director general at Israel's Foreign Ministry. He was also a former ambassador to South Africa.

He says Israel has been weakened from nearly a year of war in Gaza and the prospect of a protracted conflict in the region has its population worried.
