Ceasefire deal met with celebrations on streets of Beirut - but will it last?
Wednesday, 27 November 2024 For the first time in more than a year, there is a peace of sorts on the Israel-Lebanon border, but there are still huge questions about whether it can hold and what it means more broadly for the region.

Six Lebanese soldiers were killed on Saturday in a powerful explosion at a Hezbollah weapons depot in Wadi Zibqin, near the Israeli border. The Lebanese army said troops were dismantling munitions from the Iran-backed group’s facility when the blast occurred. The tragedy comes just days after Beirut announced a plan to disarm Hezbollah by year’s end under heavy U.S. pressure, a move strongly opposed by both Hezbollah and Iran.
UN peacekeepers recently uncovered fortified tunnels and large weapons caches in the same area. The incident underscores the volatile climate in southern Lebanon despite last year’s ceasefire with Israel, which mandated that only Lebanese state forces hold arms. Israeli strikes on Hezbollah targets have continued, further inflaming tensions. Investigations are underway into the cause of the deadly blast as leaders mourn the fallen soldiers.

Thousands of Hezbollah supporters took to Lebanon’s streets in a massive show of force, unleashing a roaring sea of vehicles that stretched for miles. Horns blared, flags waved, and convoys snaked through Beirut and beyond, protesting the government’s US-backed plan to Strip the group of its weapons. The demonstration — dominated by Iran-aligned loyalists — sent a defiant message that Hezbollah will not yield its arms, which it calls vital for defending Lebanon against Israel.

Yemen’s Houthis have launched a bold new assault on Israel, claiming strikes on Tel Aviv’s IDF headquarters, Ben Gurion Airport, Hadera Power Plant, and Ashdod Port using upgraded Yafa drones and missiles. Officials report that Israel’s Iron Dome and Arrow defense systems failed to intercept the attacks, leaving the country caught off guard. Houthi spokesman Yahya Saree warned that more deadly strikes will follow unless Israel halts operations in Gaza and Lebanon.
In a related escalation, Houthi forces also targeted the Liberian-flagged cargo ship MSC Aby in the Red Sea using drones and a Soumar-type cruise missile, reportedly causing significant damage. If verified, these attacks further threaten vital shipping lanes already disrupted by over 100 Houthi maritime strikes since 2023, raising the stakes for regional security and international trade.

A new video shows an Israeli drone crossing into Lebanon near Haddatha village, signaling potential further strikes on Hezbollah targets. Israel has carried out multiple drone operations, targeting alleged operatives and rocket sites, while critics accuse it of endangering civilians. The campaign aims to enforce the November 2024 ceasefire, demilitarize Hezbollah, and weaken Iran’s regional influence. Diplomatic pressure from the U.S. and France is ongoing, but Hezbollah continues to resist disarmament. Netanyahu’s operations are escalating tensions, destabilizing local governance, and drawing international scrutiny.

Experts warn the site could be linked to nuclear weapons development, with Israel already believed to hold 200–400 warheads. Iran has slammed the U.S. and EU for ignoring Israel’s nuclear ambitions while pressuring Tehran’s peaceful program.
