As a Lebanese, this is one of the happiest days in Lebanon’s history. As a Middle Easterner, this is one of the most transformative days for the Middle East. As a human being who holds peace before my eyes, this is the most important day for our region. Nasrallah and Hezbollah have terrorized the Lebanese people since the 1980s. He is responsible for the continuous downfall of Lebanon’s economy and sovereignty. He bears responsibility for countless assassinations of fine Lebanese men and women, solely for opposing his grip on our precious country. Nasrallah is also responsible for the slaughter of thousands of Syrian children, women, and men, as well as for other atrocities across the Middle East. Every Lebanese and every decent human being should feel joy at the downfall of one of the greatest evils of our time. Now, we have a real chance to look forward, ensuring Hezbollah’s weapons are handed over to the Lebanese authorities, and sitting down with Israelis and the West for genuine negotiations on normalization and peace between our countries—Israel and Lebanon.

The craziest thing? The Lebanese flag flies higher in my hands in Tel Aviv than it does in some parts of Lebanon, where they have the Islamic republic flag or Hezbollah instead. That’s what happens when a country is taken hostage by people who speak in its name but stopped believing in it long ago.

Our rainbow stretches over the Mediterranean, from Tel Aviv to Beirut. 🇮🇱🌈🇱🇧 Today I marched in Tel Aviv Pride with @Jonathan_Elk a proud gay man from Lebanon. He carried his Lebanese flag, I carried my Israeli one, and we marched side by side. The Israeli and Lebanese people are not enemies, this war is only against the Iran-backed Hezbollah terrorists who have occupied Lebanon and forced Johnathan and his family to flee for safety in Israel. Happy Pride Everyone 🏳️‍🌈✨

From Tel Aviv 🇮🇱 to Beirut 🇱🇧, our rainbow is stronger than fear, louder than hate, and bigger than any border. As an Israeli-Lebanese gay man, I carry two homes in my heart: Lebanon and Israel. Today I walked alongside @Noatishby at Tel Aviv pride holding the Lebanese flag and Israeli flag with a clear message From Tel Aviv to Beirut: Our rainbow stretches across the Mediterranean, serving as a bridge between our two peoples. We are people. We are families, citizens, dreamers, and builders of peace. As Lebanon and Israel engage in peace talks, I believe that only peace can protect the diversity of our region and allow all its people to live, love, be safe, and prosper. And yes, WE WANT PEACE! Not as a slogan.
Not as a dream.
But as a future we build together. Happy Pride, Tel Aviv. 🌈
Happy Pride, Beirut. 🌈

Shalom from @Jonathan_Elk and me from Pride @TelAviv. Two and a half years ago, Hamas tried to block all of this. And on October 8th, Hezbollah tried to do the same thing. We are not gonna let them do it. Follow @eighteenorg for more 🇮🇱 🏳️‍🌈

A must share!! Shia Anti Hezbollah activists in Lebanon are not only silenced by Hezbollah themselves, but also opposed by the global left. One of the most important videos you’ll ever see by @MariamKesserwan about the reality of the true Shia lebanese community, opposing the Islamic republic and Hezbollah!

Iran is forcing itself again on Lebanon. They didn’t just violate the ceasefire against Israel, they also violated Lebanese sovereignty. After we heard declarations from the Lebanese president and prime minister requesting the Islamic republic of Iran to stop meddling in its affairs, and to leave Lebanon alone, the Islamic republic decided to force itself and violate the Lebanese sovereignty and decisions. Let’s be clear, the Islamic republic didn’t fire these ballistic missiles tonight, to stand with Lebanon, they fired it to help their proxy Hezbollah that was declared illegal by the Lebanese government in March 2nd earlier this year. The Islamic republic is saying to the Lebanese- we don’t care for you, we want this war to continue and we want Lebanese to keep dying on our behalf. They are saying: we want to keep forcing our decision on you and we want Hezbollah to dictate your state of war/ peace decisions.

בשוליים, אבל לא באמת: @Jonathan_Elk ומרים יונס, שני ישראלים שמוצאם מלבנון, התראיינו לערוץ הלבנוני @MTVLebanonNews. ראיון חמים ומחבק בשידור חי, בזמן שצה"ל תוקף בלבנון, ובלי להסתיר את זהותם כלל. החוק הלבנוני אוסר מגע עם ישראלים, אבל ההופעה שלהם, כמו גם זו שנתן @BarakRavid לערוץ לבנוני אחר, הולכים וסודקים את האיסור. אתמול ראיינתי את ג'וני בגלי צה"ל, ואין סיבה שרק מאזינינו ישמעו את השיחה. הוא אמר וצדק: דיפלומטיה היא לא רק עניין לדיפלומטים. omny.fm/shows/editcontent/35…

People asked why is Israel operating near a historic landmark like Beaufort Castle, but never asked the real question: Why did Hezbollah and the Islamic republic use this historical landmark as a base for its terrorist operation and activity?
The IDF reveals a major Hezbollah tunnel system near the Beaufort Castle in southern Lebanon, which it says was constructed with direct Iranian assistance. According to the military, the main reason for its raid on the Beaufort Castle area was to capture and demolish the underground site, as well as to prevent Hezbollah from carrying out rocket attacks on Israel from the area. "The IDF launched operations in the Beaufort area to achieve operational control over the area, which constitutes a threat to Israeli civilians, and to enable the destruction of the tunnel network," the military says. The IDF says the tunnel was "built in a civilian area, in a location that enables operational control over the Galilee Panhandle region, only six kilometers from Metula, and served as Hezbollah's center in the area." Troops are now working to destroy the "major Hezbollah underground infrastructure site in the Beaufort Ridge area," IDF Spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin says in a video statement. "This is an underground network consisting of several levels excavated deep into the rocky ground. The entire network was built with full funding and planning by the Iranian terror regime over more than a decade," he says. Defrin says the underground site served Hezbollah as a "significant command-and-control center, where hundreds of Hezbollah operatives were stationed." The Hezbollah operatives managed the fighting from the underground site, including during the current war, but fled when the IDF launched its operation, he says. "We planned the operation for a long time and waited for the appropriate operational opportunity to carry it out. The complex was struck from the air several times, and now, through a ground operation, we are working to destroy it," Defrin says. The military says the tunnel featured water and electricity infrastructure, anti-tank and anti-aircraft capabilities, and numerous rooms, including several living quarters, showers, restrooms, an operating room, and kitchens. Hezbollah also stored weapons at the underground site, with the IDF reporting that it found a room with anti-tank missiles, a launcher, and other military equipment. According to the IDF, Hezbollah launched over 400 rockets from the area at northern Israel during the current fighting, as well as drones, shoulder-launched missiles, and anti-tank missiles at troops. The IDF says that the underground site was constructed "in an area where the Lebanese army operates." "As part of efforts to enforce the agreement between Israel and Lebanon, a request was submitted to the Lebanese army to address the site, but Hezbollah clearly prevented it from doing so," the military adds.
