Waffenruhe in Lebanon: Return of hope for tens of thousands of Lebanese!

Kirjat Schmona, Israel - The tense situation in Lebanon remains tense despite the announced ceasefire between the Hisbollah and Israel. On Saturday, a unity of the Hisbollah in the south of Lebanon was shot at a church, with several fighters being killed. The Israeli army then discovered a tunnel with weapons and living spaces, which confirms the allegations that the militia hid in civilian buildings, as krone.at . However, a detailed description of the position has not yet taken place, and the exact location of the church remains unclear.

Return to Syria and the ongoing fights

At the same time, a massive return movement of Lebanese from Syria can be observed. The UN Refugee High Commissioner UNHCR reported that over 28,000 people crossed the border, many are determined to return to their homeland. But despite the ceasefire, the fights are not completely silent. On the same day, a rocket attack fell from Lebanon on Israel, with a house in Kirjat Schmona. The mood of those affected is tense. Tamar Zaduk expressed her anger about the government and the devastating living conditions, from which the population suffers, such as Tageschau.de reported.

While negotiations on a ceasefire that is initially to take 60 days, the conditions are uncertain. Israel, supported by international actors, plans to withdraw from Lebanon, while Lebanese and UN troops should ensure security. Nevertheless, there are voices of skepticism in Israel, especially hardliners who demand a "total victory" about the Hisbollah and claim that a ceasefire could endanger peace. Israel remains aware of the option of military interventions, should the security situation require this, which does not exclude a renewed escalation.
