❗️🇮🇱/🇱🇧/🇸🇾 NEW: The Israeli Air Force has extensively bombed the Syrian-Lebanese border, destroying all of the remaining active border crossings between the two countries

Less than 30 minutes until the ceasefire.
🇮🇱/🇱🇧 One thing to note, which I don't see many people talking about.

It was Netanyahu and Biden that announced the ceasefire. Hezbollah stayed silent. Even now, Hezbollah has not made a statement.

This shows it was Netanyahu and Biden that had to explain and justify this agreement to their people, because this ceasefire is a total failure for them. In fact, it is an implicit capitulation to Hezbollah.

Netanyahu made it clear that 'Israel has accepted' the ceasefire, meaning it was Hezbollah which offered it. When you offer something, you are in the position of power, you dictate the rules and the conditions, you are the one who gets to make the demands. Israel was the one that needed this most.

Have you ever seen the winner of a war announce the ceasefire first? No, it's always the loser, because they need to justify it to their people, in order not to face backlash.

This ceasefire agreement, in many ways, is much more lenient and less strict than the 2006 agreement, which is unanimously seen as a victory for Hezbollah. So, I think it is clear where we stand. The Party of God is, once again, victorious on the battlefield.

❗️🇮🇱/🇱🇧/ 🇱🇧 NEW: After more than a year of acting as a support front for Gaza, and after more than two months directly fighting at the frontlines against the Zionist invaders in the 'Battle of the Fierce', a ceasefire in Lebanon has now gone into effect, as of 04:00 AM local time

Israel will begin the gradual withdrawal of all IDF soldiers currently present in the territory of Lebanon, during a period of 60 days, and the immediate cessation of all hostilities by land, air and sea.

There will be a return to the status-quo per UN Security Council Resolution 1701, Hezbollah will remain active, armed, and present South of the Litani River in the entirety of southern Lebanon.

❗️🇮🇱/🇱🇧 BREAKING: The Israeli Army has begun withdrawing forces from its positions inside several Lebanese border villages

14 Months. Thousands of martyrs.

416 days with the call of 'Labbaik ya Gaza' (At your Service O' Gaza).

But when God asks them, on the Day of Judgement, 'and where were you?', their Hearts are Clean.

— NOTE: Small things like this likely won't collapse the ceasefire, it's simply not worth responding to. However, these hostile actions will be reported to UNIFIL to document Israel's breach of the agreement.

Bint Jbeil....

Families also entered Zibqeen and many other towns near the second line.

🇵🇰 UPDATE: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has suspended its protests in Islamabad following a severe crackdown overnight by security forces. The crackdown, which included shooting and tear gas shelling, resulted in the arrest of hundreds of PTI supporters.

There are a high number of casualties, but the exact amount is unknown. But surely the number of deaths is in double figures as the person in the video above is reporting that there are 33 dead bodies in just one hour. However, take that with a grain of salt since various media outlets say only 8 people have been confirmed to have died.

❗️🇱🇧/🇮🇱 NEW: Thousands of Lebanese civilians have already returned to the border villages, even those bordering Israel directly

The Lebanese villagers even entered Khiyam, where a harsh battle raged just one day ago, getting within visual range of Merkava tanks that are still present in the city. Everyone is disobeying the Israeli orders.

In Ayta Al Shaab, the people tore down the Israeli flag from the water tower, one of the only buildings remaining in the city. Lebanese civilians have even reached the border wall, including villages like Kfar Kila and Aytaroun.

Israel had 60 days to withdraw, but it seems most of their positions were abandoned almost immediately. The Israeli media is in total outrage.
