> Ahmad Lahham, 48, waved the yellow Hezbollah flag standing on a mountain of rubble that used to be his apartment building, which had also housed a branch of Hezbollah’s financial arm, Al-Qard Al-Hassan. I'm not sure why anyone thinks it's a good idea to live in the same building as a Hezbollah resource, but guys like this are slow learners apparently.

We saw these same headlines in Gaza. "Israel agreed to ceasefire, families head home", week later bombing starts again

And you'll see them again and again until these terrorist scumbags stop firing rockets and disarm.  Israel is never going to accept a repeat of Oct 7 ever again.

Egypt and Israel have been at peace for 47 years. Even during the Arab Spring and regime change occurred, they maintained the previous agreements with Israel. The last war was the one Egypt started as a surprise attack. My point is: Peace is possible.

The US will hold its side. Israel, if they actually agreed, will hold their side. It’s IRGC or Hezbollah that will likely break first (again….)
