πŸ”΄The Greatest Danger…

✍️By Dr. Farid Jabbour
πŸŒ•Montreal, Canada
πŸ—’June 18, 2026

πŸ”˜The greatest danger is for a settlement to emerge in a dual formula: an incomplete Israeli withdrawal, extensive security arrangements inside Lebanon, and a ceasefire conditioned on Israel’s ongoing assessment of perceived threats.

πŸ‘ŒSuch a formula does not create peace; rather, it produces an uneasy truce. In some cases, it can be even more dangerous than war itself, because it shifts the conflict from a clear military confrontation into an ambiguous legal framework that allows repeated acts of aggression under the pretext of implementing the agreement.

πŸ”˜A U.S.–Iran agreement could represent an opportunity for Lebanon if it is used to compel Israel to withdraw and halt its violations. However, it could also become a danger if Lebanon is reduced to a secondary clause within a broader regional bargain.

πŸ‘ŒFor this reason, Lebanon’s national interest requires neither completely separating itself from the regionβ€”which is unrealisticβ€”nor becoming entirely tied to it, which would deprive it of independent decision-making. The preferable path is for Lebanon to remain part of a framework of guarantees, not part of a framework of trade-offs.

πŸ”˜Sovereignty is not protected through isolation, nor preserved by dissolving into the deals of others. It is safeguarded through a clear national position that transforms regional circumstances into an opportunity, without allowing them to swallow Lebanon’s independent decision-making.

πŸ”΄ Pariah state: The Zionist entity officially ranks as the world’s most hated nation


πŸ‘The Zionist propaganda model has completely collapsed on the international stage. Israel's war rhetoric, which plays well at home, lands like a sledgehammer on international public opinion. The
"democracy fighting with one hand behind its back"

πŸ‘narrative has collapsed. Israel's messaging has been adding to this deterioration: Defence Minister Israel Katz boasted on the (X) platform about capturing strategic sites, while Netanyahu bragged about killing 8,000 Hezbollah fighters.

πŸ‘According to the latest global poll conducted by the Pew Research Center in June 2026, the Zionist entity topped the list of the most hated and rejected nations in the world.


βšͺ️ The Real Figures and Percentages of the Collapse:

πŸ‘ŒOverwhelming majority against the occupation:
Thirty-six surveyed countries recorded a hatred and hostility rate toward the entity exceeding 67% as a global average, due to its continuous crimes in Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran.


πŸ”˜European rejection:


✌Spain and Sweden led with 78%, followed by the Netherlands (76%), Italy (75%), and Germany (73%). Even in Britain and the United States, the percentages reached 69% and 60%, respectively.


πŸ”˜Alienation of younger generations:

✌In Hungary, 72% of young people (aged 18–34) expressed absolute hostility toward the Zionist entity.


βšͺ️ Destruction and Systematic Targeting of Lebanon:


πŸ”˜Human toll:

🀲At least 3,783 martyrs have fallen and 11,699 have been wounded as a result of the ongoing Zionist raids and assaults.


πŸ”˜Scorched earth and forced displacement:


🀲Amnesty International documented a sharp escalation in unlawful evacuation orders, as the occupation army issued 135 mass evacuation orders during the year 2026, compared to only 36 orders in 2024.


πŸ”˜Land grabbing:


🀲The occupation isolated 6% of the Lebanese territory and turned it into a so-called "Forward Defence" zone where civilians are barred from returning, which represents a documented war crime under the Fourth Geneva Convention.

🀲According to a report released yesterday, Israel has now occupied the Ali al-Tahir heights.


πŸ”˜Economic suffocation:

🀲The attacks caused direct and indirect losses estimated between $20–30 billion, the destruction of more than 68,000 housing units, and an economic contraction of up to 10%.


βšͺ️ Political and Legal Downfall:


πŸ‘ŒInternational isolation:
Even allies are growing fed up; Donald Trump openly criticized Netanyahu's management of the war and demanded he "take responsibility." Even if all this talk is nothing but theater, the American public has begun to realize the truth about Netanyahu and the Israeli enemy.


πŸ”˜Prosecution:


πŸ‘ŒThe International Court of Justice (ICJ) confirmed the illegality of the occupation through multiple advisory opinions, while the International Criminal Court (ICC) continues to issue arrest warrants for Zionist leaders for war crimes.


πŸ‘ŒThe war launched by the Zionist entity with the aim of securing its northern border and eliminating the Axis of Resistance has reaped nothing but the deepening of its isolation, turning it into an aggressive power that is pariah and internationally besieged by the force of rising global awareness.

πŸ”΄ CHEMICAL WARFARE IN SOUTH LEBANON: THE ZIONIST ECOCIDE EXPOSED


πŸ€”The Zionist entity is no longer just murdering our peopleβ€”it is poisoning our future, our soil, and our very breath. In a calculated, malicious campaign of ecocide, Israel has turned to chemical weapons to permanently scar the south, deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure, food security, and human life.


βšͺ️ Poison From The Skies: What Happened?


πŸ—’On February 1, 2026, low-flying Israeli crop-duster aircraft systematically violated Lebanese sovereignty, blanket-spraying agricultural lands across vital border villages, including Aita al-Shaab, Ras Naqoura, Ramiya, Al-Dhahira, and Alma al-Shaab


πŸ”½To pull off this crime, the enemy lied directly to UN peacekeepers. The IDF warned UNIFIL to remain under cover, claiming they were dropping a "non-toxic chemical substance". UNIFIL was forced to ground its patrols for over nine hours. It wasn't "non-toxic"β€”it was an outright toxic assault. 


βšͺ️ The Toxic Evidence:

πŸ‘ŒMicrograms of Malice
Independent media and investigative networksβ€”including RT, Al Jazeera, and The Guardianβ€”have fully exposed the nature of this attack. Laboratory analyses conducted by Lebanon’s Ministries of Agriculture and Environment, alongside the National Council for Scientific Research, delivered terrifying results: 


πŸ”˜The Agent:

🀲The chemical used is Glyphosate, a potent herbicide classified by the World Health Organization (WHO) since 2015 as "probably carcinogenic to humans" and deeply linked to cancer, organ failure, and biochemical disruptions in mammals. 


πŸ”˜The Concentrations:

🀲Soil samples recovered from Aita al-Shaab, Ras Naqoura, and Al Dhahira revealed concentrations up to 22,750 micrograms per gram


πŸ”˜The Crime:

🀲Normal agricultural use ranges between 0.5 and 2 micrograms. Israel sprayed at levels 20 to 30 times higher than average, pushing it directly into the realm of chemical warfare. 


βšͺ️ The Agony of the Land and Our People

✌This is a scorched-earth policy designed by a colonial mindset to make South Lebanon uninhabitable. Hisham Younes of the Green Southerners noted that this poison hits soil already deeply degraded and stressed by intensive Israeli use of white phosphorus and incendiary munitions

✌Vast expanses of green farmland turned a sickly yellow-brown within days. Israel is intentionally wiping out the livelihoods of southern farmers, poisoning vital water wells, and destroying the food security of over 800,000 residents south of the Zahrani River. They are creating a dead, uninhabitable "no-return zone". 


βšͺ️ Diplomatic Retaliation


πŸ’¬Just days ago, on June 14, 2026, Lebanon officially lodged a formal complaint with the UN Security Council (UNSC). The complaint explicitly charges Israel with a blatant breach of the Chemical Weapons Convention, which strictly prohibits the use of herbicides as a method of warfare. 

πŸ”»The visual devastation of this ongoing environmental massacre is captured vividly in files like "the report and video attached β€œ, which document the catastrophic transition from genocide to calculated ecocide across our borders.
The resilient people of the South will not be uprooted by their bombs, nor will they be poisoned out of existence by their chemicals. The soil remembers, and the resistance endures.

πŸ”΄THE MOCKERY OF DIPLOMACY: ISRAEL OPENS THE "GATES OF HELL" WHILE THE INK ON THE US-IRAN MOU IS STILL WET


πŸ‘The geopolitical and military realities on the ground have completely shattered the diplomatic illusions sold by Washington and tolerated by Tehran. Following Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich’s overt declaration to
"open the gates of hell"

πŸ‘on Lebanon, the Israeli occupation military translates words into slaughter. 


βšͺ️The Military Reality: Scorched Earth and Unchecked Escalation


πŸ‘ŒFrom a strictly military perspective, Israel's operations since midnight on Friday, June 19, 2026, demonstrate a coordinated campaign designed to maximize civilian attrition and test the red lines of the Lebanese resistance.

πŸ‘ŒThis is not a surgical operation; it is a heavy, concentrated artillery and aerial blitz aimed at fracturing the logistics and social fabric of Nabatieh and the Bekaa. 


βšͺ️Hard Operational Data (Friday, June 19, 2026)

πŸŒ•Casualty Count:

🀲18 martyrs killed, 33 wounded (preliminary figures verified by the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health). 


πŸŒ• Artillery & Ordinance:

🀲Heavy 155mm artillery shelling combined with consecutive waves of fighter jet airstrikes and lethal drone operations targeting moving vehicles. 


πŸŒ•Geographic Scope of the Blitz:

πŸŒ•Nabatieh District (The Core Target):

🀲Severe, concentrated bombardment targeted the city of Nabatieh, Kfarjouz, Kfarman, Zebdine, Nabatieh Al-Fawqa, Habboush, Sajd, and Jabal Al-Rafii. 

πŸŒ•Massacres in Inhabited Homes:

🀲Direct airstrikes leveled homes in Al-Sharqiya, Harouf (8 martyrs in the Al-Baydar neighborhood), and Kfarsir (3 martyrs). 


πŸŒ•Precision Drone Assassinations:

🀲 A drone strike targeted a motorcycle near the Doueir municipal building, killing one and wounding another. Jibchit faced simultaneous drone strikes and heavy artillery.


πŸŒ•Eastern Expansion (Baalbek):

🀲The aggression bypassed the south to strike a building in Ain Bourday and a farm in Jamaliyah, killing 3 civilians and wounding several others.


πŸŒ•The Geopolitical Collapse: The Worthless American Assurances


🀲Where are the American guarantees? The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) finalized just days ago between the United States and Iran explicitly detailed that Lebanon would no longer be subjected to Israeli aggression. Yet, as Swiss talks between US officials (including Vice President JD Vance) and Iranian diplomats are indefinitely postponed due to this escalation, Washington’s diplomatic framework stands exposed as a deliberate smoke screen. 

✌Israel’s publication of an expanded military control map extending 10 kilometers into southern Lebanon proves that Tel Aviv operates entirely outside the boundaries of international law, utilizing American-supplied munitions to dictate terms by fire. 


πŸ”°Axis of Resistance View: Confronting the Strategic Dilemma


πŸ”»For the Axis of Resistance, Smotrich’s statement and the morning’s massacres demand an immediate shift from tactical restraint to full strategic response.

πŸ“ŒChallenging Questions for the Leadership:


πŸ‘To the Iranian Leadership:

✌How long will Tehran allow its diplomatic engagements with the West to paralyze a decisive response while Lebanese blood is spilled in Nabatieh and Baalbek? Does the postponement of Swiss talks suffice as a response to the murder of 18 Lebanese citizens?

πŸ‘To the International Community & Washington:

🀲If the signed MOU cannot protect a sovereign state from being openly bombed into the "gates of hell," what value does any Western diplomatic signature hold?

🀲The resistance on the ground has responded with forceβ€”seriously wounding an Israeli officer and hitting armor near Kfar Tebnitβ€”but the geopolitical gap between diplomatic agreements and battlefield slaughter must be closed immediately.

πŸ”΄Sheikh Naim Qassem at the Central Ashura Council: Heavy losses cost less than surrender and defeat

πŸ”˜ The Secretary-General of Hezbollah, His Eminence Sheikh Naim Qassem, confirmed during his speech at the Central Ashura Council ceremonies Hezbollah's commitment to the Taif Agreement and the Lebanese Constitution, emphasizing keeping political disputes within their natural framework, believing in the liberation of land, and directing weapons toward the Israeli enemy.

πŸ”˜ Sheikh Qassem stated that they were born free and chose to reject injustice, refuse enslavement, occupation, and guardianship, and reject the projects of others. He emphasized that they confront all types of political, cultural, educational, and moral dependency, and that when they are confronted with weapons, they confront with weapons.

πŸ”˜ He added that every step in which "NO" is said to American guardianship and in which occupation is rejected is considered a victory, noting that they do not fear death, viewing it as part of victory.

πŸ”˜ Qassem continued:
"The definition of victory by our standards is the triumph of steadfastness and continuity, and by our standards, the enemy is defeated because we are present on the battlefield and enduring the hardships,"

adding that heavy losses cost less than surrender and defeat, and that preventing the enemy from achieving its goals, and having the blood of the martyrs ignite the hearts of believers with responsibility and preserving the trust, is a victory in itself.

πŸ”˜ Sheikh Qassem pointed out that the Israeli aggression on Lebanon aims to bring the resistance to its knees, and that the enemies worked to make the authority in Lebanon a facade and a cover to execute actions leading to its downfall, noting that the enemies are pressuring Syria to intervene from the east, to form a pincer movement with "Israel" from the north.

πŸ”˜ He considered that the current plot against them aims to end the resistance and its people and completely eliminate its presence from Lebanon, emphasizing that they are passing through the most dangerous stage in Lebanon, the most dangerous conspiracy project, and the most dangerous threat that could face the future of the nation.

πŸ”˜ Sheikh Qassem revealed that the enemies wanted to close the aerial, maritime, and land crossings to prevent the arrival of weapons and technologies. They also worked to prevent reconstruction to keep people displaced and homeless, aiming to turn the resistance's popular base against it, in addition to a tight financial blockade to prevent recovery and progress.

πŸ”˜ At the conclusion of his speech, Sheikh Qassem said:

"We took a Karbala-inspired decision; we were patient where we had to be, and we fought where we had to be. For 15 months, our patience was a fight, and after March 2nd, our fight became patience, and we will not return to what preceded this date."

He concluded by saying:
"
The project to end Hezbollah has fallen, and the Israeli will exit until the very last inch of our land, God willing."
