Hezbollah's rocket commander killed in Israeli drone strike in south Lebanon
Israel killed Hezbollah 's Shaqif region commander, Mohammad Ali Jamoul, early Saturday morning at around 5 a.m. in Deir al-Zahrani in southern Lebanon, the Israeli military announced hours later. Jamoul was the commander of Hezbollah 's rocket array in the region, Israeli said. National News Agency (NNA) said a man was killed when an Israeli drone targeted his car as he was heading to pray at a mosque in Deir al-Zahrani, about 20 kilometers (12 miles) from the Israeli border. Israel has continued to bomb Lebanon despite the November 27 truce that sought to halt more than a year of hostilities with Hezbollah, including two months of open war. Israel claimed that during the conflict Jamoul was involved in efforts to reestablish Hezbollah's terrorist infrastructure' in south Lebanon. Under the terms of the ceasefire, Hezbollah fighters were to pull back north of the Litani River, some 30 kilometers (20 miles) from the border, and dismantle military infrastructure . According to to UN Resolution 1701 all militia in Lebanon including Hezbollah and the Palestinians were to disarm and hand over all their arms to the Lebanese Army . Israel was to withdraw all forces from Lebanon but it has kept troops in five areas it deems 'strategic'. The Lebanese Army has deployed in the south and has been dismantling Hezbollah infrastructure.

Hezbollah Still Doesn't Get It
By Ali Hussein Hezbollah MP Hassan Fadlallah recently accused the Lebanese government of shirking the responsibilities it pledged to the Lebanese people. He argued that the government gained the Parliament's vote of confidence based on these commitments. He said, 'Some members of the government have not read, or do not read, the ministerial statement—or perhaps do not know what happened to secure their position of responsibility. These individuals gained Parliament's confidence based on a series of gradual commitments, and some of them want to take a single sentence or word, as if implementing these commitments is a selective process based on what they wish for or desire, or on dictates imposed by external factors.' Fadlallah then cited the government's supposed obligations: He concluded by asking what the government has done to implement these three clauses, implying that Hezbollah bears no responsibility to comply until the government does its part. But Fadlallah is simply making excuses to avoid disarming . Hezbollah itself is the main reason these commitments remain unfulfilled. Let's not forget: the ceasefire agreement that Hezbollah and Israel accepted last November was based on UNSC Resolution 1701, which calls for the disarmament of all militias in Lebanon—including Hezbollah and Palestinian groups. Lebanon's own president and prime minister have publicly and privately told Hezbollah that no country in the world is willing to help rebuild the tens of thousands of homes destroyed during the war while Hezbollah keeps its weapons. International aid is conditional on Hezbollah disarming. As for the five strategic hills, Hezbollah should remember that it was they who unilaterally attacked Israel in 2023 without consulting any Lebanese officials. Hezbollah's reckless actions led to Lebanon losing those hills to Israel. Every time Hezbollah initiates an attack, Lebanon—especially the south—ends up paying the price, losing more territory. In 2006, Hezbollah's war also cost Lebanon the town of Upper Ghajar, which remains under Israeli control to this day. Hezbollah must understand: its arms are not defending Lebanon—they are a tool of Iran's regional ambitions at the expense of Lebanon's sovereignty. Reconstruction will never happen while Hezbollah refuses to disarm. Enough excuses. Hand over your weapons to the Lebanese Army. The people of South Lebanon want this, but they are too afraid to say it publicly after suffering so much from Hezbollah's mistakes. It's time for Hezbollah to pledge allegiance to Lebanon. This is your country, not Iran's.
