Amidst the ceasefire in Lebanon, the Israeli army destroyed Hezbollah’s rocket launcher in an air strike. Israel carried out this attack on the third day of the ongoing ceasefire with Hezbollah since Wednesday. Giving information about this, the Israeli Army has also warned of strict action against violation of the ceasefire agreement. The Lebanese army has accused Israel several times of breaking the agreement.
There were also Israeli attacks on southern Lebanon and Hezbollah’s weapons depot was targeted by drones on Thursday. On the other hand, on the third day of the agreement, Hezbollah chief Naeem Qasim issued a statement. He assured to implement the agreement. “I have decided to announce that we are on the path to a major victory in an official war,” he said. Which is even bigger than the victory achieved in 2006.
On the other hand, after the implementation of the ceasefire agreement, there is an influx of people returning to their homes in Southern Lebanon. While the situation seems to be normalizing in Lebanon, people across the border in Israel are still not ready to return to their homes. People in northern Israel, adjacent to Lebanon, still cannot trust Hezbollah’s promises. People are also not happy with the decision of the Israeli government.
It is being told that the streets there are still deserted. The houses are vacant. After October 8, 2023, due to the increase in Hezbollah attacks, thousands of people evacuated the areas of northern Israel bordering Lebanon. The UN is also engaged in increasing the presence of the Lebanese Army in the border areas during the ceasefire. But the worries of the Israelis are not ending. The efforts of the Netanyahu government do not seem to be paying off.
Let us tell you that after the announcement of ceasefire, there was a wave of happiness among the displaced people. People were seen dancing and singing happily. After months of living in fear under the bombardment, happiness appeared on the faces of the people when, after the mediation of America and France, the ceasefire proposal was accepted by Israel and Lebanon. But displaced people protested in Tel Aviv.
Displaced people at a shelter in Lebanon’s capital Beirut seemed eager to return home soon after the ceasefire. The small children expressed their happiness of going to school again after returning home. Some people raised the demand for immediate ceasefire in Lebanon as well as in Gaza. On the other hand, displaced people and their supporters in Israel’s Tel Aviv took to the streets and vehemently opposed this agreement.
