I’d be glad to be wrong. Glad to watch this deal hold, and the whole region gain from it. Glad to see Lebanon at peace again, and those of us from the south returning to our villages and our towns. Who wouldn’t want that? There is no “but” here.
I was pessimistic. I keep that pessimism to myself. And still I hope tomorrow turns out to be a better day, for the region and everyone in it.

On average, Israel has killed more than 1 child every day in Lebanon since the ceasefire on April 17.
It also killed 32 paramedics since then, nearly 1 in 4 of those killed since Mar 2.

Since the 2024 war, Israeli forces have abducted several Lebanese civilians; however, their exact numbers remain unknown.
On Tuesday, Israeli minister Itamar Ben Gvir has called for the seizure of Lebanese “women and youth”

Iran is trying to impose new rules of engagement with Israel: any attack against Beirut will invite Iranian retaliation against Israel. This serves several purposes: to reaffirm the link between the Iran and Lebanon fronts, against those wanting to separate them; to bolster Iran’s credibility with Hezbollah’s base, which has paid a horrific price for this war; and to create strains in the U.S.-Israel relationship, since Trump wants a deal, while the Israelis are trying to torpedo any breakthrough in negotiations between Washington and Tehran: nytimes.com/live/2026/06/07/…

Thursday morning, an Israeli airstrike struck the home of Mona Khalil in Mansouri, South of Lebanon. The home itself was modest. But what it sheltered was extraordinary.
For decades, while many spoke about protecting nature, Mona lived that commitment every single day. From her small house overlooking the sea, she became the guardian of a coastline, the protector of countless sea turtles, and a voice for creatures that could not speak for themselves.
She chose to stay. She stayed through uncertainty, through fear, through danger. She stayed because the beach she watched over was not just a stretch of sand. It was a sanctuary. A place of life. A place worth defending.
Mona was seriously injured and her assistant suffered burns. Both are thankfully in stable condition. Yet the tragedy goes far beyond their wounds.
With war reaching a woman whose life’s mission has been to protect life, something deeper is injured, a part of our humanity is wounded. Violence does not distinguish between a fighter and a conservationist, between a military position and a nest of endangered turtles, between those who destroy and those who dedicate their lives to preserving.
Mona Khalil spent years protecting one of Lebanon’s most fragile treasures. Today, it is Mona who needs protection. And perhaps the greatest tribute we can pay her is to ensure that her courage, her mission, and her love for this land survive long after the smoke has cleared ❤️🇱🇧

No, it was not a "mistake" and to suggest otherwise is a blatant insult to our intelligence! The soldiers knew exactly who we were given that there was a drone monitoring us the entire time.
🔎"C'était une erreur". Interrogé sur les 2 frappes ayant coûté la vie à un reporter et grièvement blessé une journaliste, en octobre 2023, l'ambassadeur d'Israël assure qu'ils "n'étaient pas ciblés parce que journalistes, les soldats pensaient qu'ils étaient des terroristes".

“The first thing anyone noticed in Theodosia was her smile. We’d always see her laughing.”
This Lebanese student was killed by Israel just after finishing her final exams. Theodosia Karam is one of over 3,500 people killed by Israel’s attacks on Lebanon since March.

🎥 “You leave right now or you die.”
Israeli soldiers went door to door in the border village of Ain Arab, forcing residents from their homes at gunpoint, journalist Lylla Younes reports in her latest Drop Site investigation.
The forced expulsion of Ain Arab was a striking example of the Israeli military’s campaign to ethnically cleanse villages across southern Lebanon, with an estimated 60 villages completely destroyed south of the “Yellow Line” Israel declared on April 19, barring residents from ever returning.
Younes said it is emblematic of what Israel is doing across the south:
“There isn’t any sort of discernible calculus here besides mass destruction and mass instability really and mass punishment of a people.”

Israel is explicitly warning Christian residents in southern Lebanon not to welcome Muslim residents among them, threatening to bomb Christian neighborhoods.
Israel is now searching for Muslims hiding in the attics of Christians. It’s not 1944. Read that again.
The goal isn't military. It's destabilizing social stability in Lebanon.

Another Israeli airstrike near Jabal Amel Hospital in Tyre caused damage to the facility. Jabal Amel is the main healthcare center serving Tyre and surrounding areas, and the attack, coming just after strikes near Hiram Hospital and the Italian Hospital, is further deepening the humanitarian strain on civilians already struggling under continuous attacks.
