Coinciding with the presence of two British Ministry of Defense officials in Beirut. Reliable political sources revealed to Al-Jumhuriya that urgent messages were conveyed to Beirut by Western security agencies, urging the Lebanese state to take urgent measures to confirm its commitment to Resolution 1701 and prevent violations of the southern border. According to the information, these messages, which included concern for Lebanon’s security and stability, included a clear warning that Hezbollah’s initiative to ignite the southern front may create a military reality that is out of control, with dire consequences for Lebanon.
The sources pointed out that the Lebanese position came as an affirmation of Lebanon’s commitment to international resolutions, especially Resolution 1701, stressing that the army is playing its full role in this field and is in high coordination with UNIFIL forces in its area of operation, stressing at the same time that it is very necessary that There is a desire for security and stability, looking first at the biggest and most dangerous explosive factor that Israel represents, and its continuous violations of Resolution 1701, which number in the thousands without receiving any deterrent from any international party.
In this tense atmosphere in the south, party sources told Al-Jumhuriya in response to a question about the possibilities of opening the southern front: “Anything is possible, but it is unlikely that the southern front will slide into a widespread deterioration at the present time, as the operations that are taking place are well-studied and specific and will hurt the enemy with their precision.” Its quality, in addition to the fact that it achieved a very big goal, by forcing the enemy to completely evacuate its settlements, means that it tasted displacement. Unless the enemy wants to expand the scope of the war, although we doubt his ability to withstand two fronts at the same time, then things will take a different turn.”
Al-Jumhuriya information from sources familiar with Hezbollah’s assessments of the course of the battle indicated that it is collecting all the data and now has important data on the course of things, but it keeps it to itself and announces it at the appropriate time “because we are in a state of war and not a dispute over an internal Lebanese issue.” “The party” knows what it is doing, and it directs its strikes day after day at the positions of the Israeli enemy according to the requirements of the situation.
The sources explained that the party’s answers to the questions directed at it politically and in the media are left to the field that speaks about them. And that there will be no immediate appearance of the Secretary-General, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.
The sources revealed that the number of martyrs of the “party” since the beginning of the confrontation was 11, but on the other hand, the enemy’s losses were large, and it is enough that Nahariya Hospital alone announced in an official statement that “160 cases of dead and wounded have been dealt with since the start of the war on the northern front.”
In addition, centrist political sources denounced what they called “brewing with fire to ignite the Lebanese front,” and told Al-Jumhuriya: “As if the state of anxiety that the Lebanese people are experiencing is not enough for some to come and play with their fate.” Whether what was issued by the Iranians in terms of opening additional fronts with Israel, or in relation to what was said by Hamas official abroad Khaled Meshal, who did not seem satisfied with the operations carried out by Hezbollah on the border, which he described as limited and hesitant, so he went on to invite the party To have adventures. All of this is surprising, even unacceptable, especially since the entire region is facing a fateful moment, threatened by dangerous scenarios, and Lebanon, in its current state, is too weak to bear the consequences, outcomes, and effects of any war in which it is a party.
In this atmosphere, the caretaker Foreign Minister, Abdullah Bu Habib, met in Jeddah yesterday with the Saudi Foreign Minister, Faisal bin Farhan, and stressed during the meeting that Lebanon is counting on the Kingdom’s pivotal role in restoring balance to the Middle East. He also met with Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian, and after the meeting, he expressed his concern “about the absence of serious Western diplomatic pressure on Israel to stop the escalation.”
In solidarity with Gaza and in denunciation of the Israeli crimes, Hezbollah organized a series of movements and gatherings in the southern suburbs, the south, and the Bekaa, the most prominent of which was the massive gathering in Haret Hreik, in which the head of the party’s Executive Council, Mr. Hashem Safi al-Din, spoke, who condemned the massacre and considered that “the reason for Shedding the blood of peoples is the United States of America and with it the West.”
Safi al-Din violently criticized the United States, and addressed US President Joe Biden, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and the Europeans by saying: “The project to displace the people of Gaza will not pass.” Adding: “If you are warning us, then our answer to you is that you should beware of us, because the mistake you may make with our resistance will be answered loudly and loudly, and what we have is much stronger than what you have, and what we have is more than what you have. One day, you came to Lebanon with your battleships, and our decision was confrontation, and when we confronted you, you fled Lebanon like rats. We are still the present and strong resistance. In fact, today we are thousands of times stronger. Be careful not to make a mistake.”
In a related context, sources familiar with Hezbollah’s atmosphere told Asharq Al-Awsat that “there is no decision or plan to open the southern Lebanese front and wage war from more than one axis against Israel, but preparations are in place to wage confrontation if Tel Aviv decides to Igniting its northern front.”
