>Hezbollah fiercely opposes direct negotiations, with its head Naim Qassem describing the talks in a written statement on Monday as a "humiliating and unnecessary concession."
>"Let it be clear, these direct negotiations and their outcomes are considered nonexistent to us and do not concern us at all. We will continue our defensive resistance for Lebanon and its people," Qassem said.
>Lebanese President Joseph Aoun [has defended](https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/lebanon-president-says-future-deal-will-not-cede-territory-2026-04-17/) the government's move --
>"What we are doing is not treason; rather, treason is committed by whoever takes his country to war to achieve external interests," he said in a statement released by his office, an apparent reference to Hezbollah's decision to enter the regional war last month.
Lebanese president calling it like it is. Hezbollah are traitors forcing Lebanon into a forever war to spread their IRGC bullshit. Just relocate to Iran and fight for the IRGC there already, Lebanon doesn't want you. But of course then no one would be able to blame Israel because there'd be peace like Israel has with all the other countries that don't attack them.
edit: Also, great headline Reuters. You write an article about a terrorist org breaking a ceasefire between Lebanon and Israel and your title says "Israeli strikes hit...". Gross. Can I report Reuters for breaking sub rule #2?

2,200 Lebanese have been killed so far by Israel, 23 Israelis have died.
Not 10's of thousands, but still thousands, and I can only assume they are referring to the total amount Israel has killed not just in Lebanon, but in the region as a whole using terrorist threats as a justification.

Woukd you be more pleased if more Osraelis would be dead? Is that what you're saying by this comparison?
Or are you stating, that the state of Israel actually cares about it's citizens and defends them at all cost, including financial (300k$ per interceptor) and geopolitical, as opposed to Hezbolla terrorists, who intentionally hide weapons and "fighters" among civilians to increase casualties?

Why are you implying they are all civilians?
https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/idf-claims-it-has-killed-over-1400-hezbollah-operatives-since-start-of-iran-war/
This was written on Apr. 10 and IDF claimed 1400 killed were Hezbollah. That was the majority of the casualties at the time. So it would stand to reason the majority of those 2500 killed are not civilians, but Hezbollah.
Unless you have proof that the majority killed were civilians, and not Hezbollah, you cannot in good faith argue Israel is killing civilians by the thousands in Lebanon.

That's unfortunately what happens in a war, and why Hezbollah is responsible for putting civilians in danger. You're never going to have no civilian casualties. It's why the ceasefire was so important, and why the responsibility falls on Hezbollah for breaking it.

And how many of them are Hezbollah fighters?
Oh that's right, these groups purposefully never tell us cuz they want naive people like you to conflate every death as some innocent civilian death.
It doesn't help that these groups also purposefully make it impossible to go after them 'cleanly'. Maybe you'd feel better if Israeli military took groups of Israeli civilians around as human shields, too? Way more Israelis would die then and then the numbers would balance out a bit more. Sound reasonable?

They are probably referring to Gaza, and Israel has taken a very aggressive approach to Lebanon as well. I cannot find any sources on amount of civilian deaths in Lebanon, I can find total dead but not sure how many of that is civilians vs hezbolla or whatnot. But Israel has been very aggressive in attacking places where terrorist are even if there are civilians there. The amount of people such as Doctors Without Borders and UN personnel who have been killed should attest to that

Emphasis on east Libanon. Hizbollah is controlling the southern part and the state of Libanon controls the eastern part. The article describes Israel attacking parts of the country where Hizbollah is not in control. That is kind of important.
Edit: I was wrong, the specific areas are Hizbollah strongholds but without major military presence

That's not quite true. Hizbullah also controls areas further north (including parts of Beirut). These strikes are taking place in the Beqa Valley, which is a Hezbullah stronghold.

From the Hizbullah Wikipedia page:
>Since the 2024 Ceasefire agreement, Hezbollah is rearming itself. According to Israeli and Arab intelligence sources, the organisation is using the Beirut seaport and its old smuggling land routes form Syria, for bringing in long range missiles, antitank missiles, artillery and rockets. It is also reported that Hezbollah is manufacturing weapons. The efforts take place mainly in the suburbs of Beirut and the Beqaa Valley.
Beqaa is a Shiite-majority area and one of Hizbullah's major centers

I recommend reading the article, not just the title. It does mentioned how violence has continued during the ceasefire. There is more to this that one sentence. In addition, the cease fire is with the legitimate libanese government. Hizbollah is out of their control. I think that Israel expanding attacks to eastern Libanon where Hizbollah supposedly dosent have military presence is significant.
