Anyone who follows the concerns of the late Elias Khoury will confirm that the effort he made in following up on the Syrian issue is almost equal to his interest in the Palestinian issue and the Lebanese issue.

He took violence to its extreme in the face of a peaceful popular revolution, and pushed Syrian society into the abyss of civil war.

He wrote in 2013: "Hezbollah elements who are fighting alongside the Syrian regime and its thugs are today committing the fundamental fatal mistake in their history.
The Lebanese militias that are participating with the Syrian regime in suppressing the Syrian people must learn a lesson before it is too late."

Syrians, you are alone, you are alone, do not believe anyone.

Lebanese and Israeli ReadingsBefore this operation, there were two different readings of the Israeli political and military facts in Lebanon and in Israel.

The Lebanese have their own reading, which continues to rule out war and points to the chances of a political and diplomatic solution, given the escalation of Israeli strikes, without turning into a comprehensive war or a large-scale military operation.

Lebanon also reads the internal Israeli political conflicts, which do not allow the Netanyahu government to make a decision to launch a war.

Before the Jewish New Year, which falls on September 29, or after Netanyahu’s visit to the United Nations and his speech there.

After that, Netanyahu turned the equation upside down, accusing Galant of obstructing and opposing the launch of a military operation against Hezbollah and tried to hold him responsible for his dismissal.

A year after the start of the war that deepened the internal division against Hezbollah, the Lebanese found themselves united on a human level in the face of the scale of the Israeli crime, which was reflected in the positions witnessed on social media.

We see nothing but a world being disfigured and its fingers flying off.

For the first time since the start of the war on October 7, the "quality" of the attack was the event, rather than the importance of the targeted party figures.

This means that the Lebanese state did not prevent the Lebanese from the tragedy of the ammonium nitrate explosion in the port, nor did its diplomacy succeed in removing the specter of a comprehensive war from Lebanon.

This was evident in the call by the party’s most prominent opponents, political activists, for a humanitarian response to the disaster on the basis of "postponing" scoring points against Hezbollah, because now is the time to "donate blood."

The Israeli army indicated that "at this stage there is no change in the directives of the Home Front Command."

The channel revealed that starting tonight, the security and military weight will shift from the Gaza Strip to the northern front.

The Axios website quoted sources as saying that "Israeli intelligence estimated before the operation that Hezbollah is likely to respond with a major attack on Israel," noting that "Israel did not inform the Biden administration in advance of its operation regarding the detonation of Hezbollah members’ calling devices."

The website said: "The Israeli operation in Lebanon disrupted Hezbollah’s military command and control system, and aims to undermine Hezbollah’s confidence.

This information raises questions about the relationship between the suggestion of stormy disagreements within the Israeli cabinet, the claim of changing Galant, and the incident of the explosion of Hezbollah’s communications devices.

The correspondent said that the data indicates that the explosion of communications devices began first in the southern suburb of Beirut, then simultaneous explosions followed to include the devices of Hezbollah members and leaders present in other Lebanese regions, all the way to Syria.

He added that the incident came after official and unofficial Israeli voices rose in recent days, calling for a change in the scene on the northern front.

The Makan field correspondent pointed to a signal accompanied by a strange sound emanating from Hezbollah’s wireless devices, along with a rapid rise in their temperature, which led to a sudden explosion in the targeted communications devices.
The Makan correspondent went on to say that the incident came after Israel exhausted all its military means to "deter Hezbollah" without result.

The channel focused on leaving the air open for the picture only from in front of the hospitals, and scenes of the wounded, without any voice messages that were out of place or relied on random analysis.

It was satisfied with the correspondents’ messages, only when they had official information, especially official statements from the Ministry of Health, and hospital appeals.

It seemed striking that “LBC” called the victims “martyrs,” while before that it had relied on phrases such as “Hezbollah casualties due to Israeli bombing or attack.” Although the suburb was the main scene of the attack, the media event was not there.

Beirut’s hospitals were the center of attraction, which gave the media an opportunity to move more comfortably, relieved of the security restrictions imposed by the party on the ground in such cases.
The Prime Minister and senior politicians offered their condolences, so it was natural for the cameras to follow them. Thus, the Lebanese channels focused on the live broadcast from the mourning tent of the son of MP Ali Ammar, who was martyred in the aggression, especially with the visit of Prime Minister Najib Mikati to offer his condolences.

"Below the Belt" is how Israeli media referred to the name of the security operation carried out by the Israelis against Hezbollah, by hacking the party’s communication devices.

Israeli Channel 14 said that Hezbollah imported these devices some time ago through an Iranian company called "Telerim".
It quoted people familiar with the matter as saying that the damaged pagers were from a new shipment that the party received in recent days.

Reuters quoted a senior Hezbollah official as saying that the party’s Secretary-General, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, was not harmed in the explosions of the communication devices.

The Wall Street Journal quoted the security company "Lubeck International" as saying that the cause of the explosion of the communication devices was most likely malware.

In the southern suburb, injuries were distributed between the areas of Sfeir, Hadi Nasrallah Highway, Shura Street, Haret Hreik, and Bir al-Abd.

Technological means and deployment of forcesThe plan includes several stages, starting with the use of hundreds of technological means to monitor the border, such as radars and cameras along the exposed border between Eilat in the south, and the Syrian Hama (near Tiberias) in the north.

It also includes the deployment of forces to provide a "rapid response" to deal with attempts at infiltration or smuggling, in addition to strengthening and developing the security barrier along the border.

The Israeli army is also planning to establish a new military division known as the "Eastern Division", which will be primarily responsible for monitoring the area, against the backdrop of "the escalation in arms smuggling operations via Jordan to Palestinian organizations in the West Bank."

The newspaper said that the army admits that for every successful thwarted operation, there are three to five successful smuggling operations from Jordan.

The tone of the Israeli war against Hezbollah and Lebanon is rising.

A senior Israeli security official said in a briefing to Israeli media that "the army does not want to repeat what happened in Gaza, where there were no clear goals for the war.

The official explained that among these goals are: "Returning the population, a significant reinforcement of forces on the border, and removing Hezbollah forces from the border area."

He added: "Dramatic discussions are taking place on the northern front at this time. We are facing a large-scale military operation in the north with all that that means."
