Israel dismisses reports U.S.-French Lebanon ceasefire plan about to be implemented

‘The situation between Lebanon and Israel since October 8th, 2023, is intolerable and presents an unacceptable risk of a broader regional escalation’

September 26, 2024 at 07:02 AM  i24NEWS – The U.S., France and other allies jointly called on Thursday for an immediate 21-day ceasefire to allow for negotiations in the escalating conflict between Israel and Hezbollah that has killed more than 600 people in Lebanon in recent days. A report by Sky News claimed the ceasefire was to go into effect “within hours,” citing a senior U.S. official speaking on the condition of anonymity. It was later dismissed by Israeli officials, saying Israel was yet to respond formally to the proposal.

[Ed.:  Short article, huh!  The comments are good.]

 

Prime Minister’s Office denies reports of impending ceasefire

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office denies reports of ceasefire, says IDF was instructed to strike ‘with full force and according to the plans presented.’

Sep 26, 2024, 11:53 AM (GMT+3)  Israel National News – The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday morning responded to reports of an impending ceasefire deal between Israel and the Hezbollah terror group.

“The reports of a ceasefire are not true,” the Prime Minister’s Office said. “This is a French-American initiative that the Prime Minister has not even responded to.”

“The reports of an instruction to moderate the fighting in the north is also the opposite of the truth. The Prime Minister instructed the IDF to continue the fighting with full force, and according to the plans presented to him.

“As well, the fighting in Gaza will continue until all of the goals of the war are achieved.”

According to Sky News, senior US officials said that a temporary ceasefire deal with Hezbollah is expected in the next few hours. The officials claimed that diplomatic moves behind the scenes have brought the parties closer to an agreement.

“The ceasefire will be for 21 days, along the blue line (the border between Israel and Lebanon),” the officials said. “During this time, the parties will hold negotiations towards a possible solution to the conflict that has been going on since Hezbollah launched an attack on October 8, with the intention of reaching an overall agreement along the blue line that will allow residents to return to their homes in both Lebanon and Israel.”

The officials clarified that this is an agreement only for the northern region, and is not related to the Gaza Strip, but according to them, this may facilitate progress on the Gaza issue.

Sky News also reported that in the event of signing an agreement, Hezbollah itself would not be a signatory to the agreement, but the US officials said that the Lebanese government would coordinate the signing with Hezbollah.

⚠️ UPDATE ON ESCALATING ISRAEL-LEBANON CONFLICT ⚠️

September 24, 2024 @ 6:46 pm ET  Israel Realtime

🆘 The Israel Realtime Facebook page has been taken down by Facebook due to potential policy violations and unusual activities, suggesting breaches of the platform’s Community Standards. The Israel Realtime team is actively working to resolve this issue and is seeking assistance from anyone with connections at Facebook that can help resolve it sooner. [Emphasis added]

⚠️ Reports from Lebanese media indicate explosions in Jiyeh, southern Beirut, linked to Israeli airstrikes. Local sources suggest that an Israeli attack obliterated a Hezbollah ammunition depot south of Beirut.

⚠️ The IDF confirmed that a drone launched from Lebanon earlier caused minor damage and a fire near Atlit, a coastal town south of Haifa. The Hezbollah terror group claimed responsibility for launching several explosive-laden drones targeting the Israeli Navy’s Atlit base, which houses the Shayetet 13 commando unit. Of the three drones launched, two were intercepted by air defenses, with no reported injuries.

⚠️ Separately, a UAV launched from Iraq targeted IDF bases in the central Arava region. The air defense system failed to intercept the UAV, which struck an empty building. No casualties were reported.

⚠️ According to the Wall Street Journal, Hezbollah has been expanding its tunnel network in southern Lebanon to prepare for a potential Israeli invasion. Operatives and weapons have been redeployed, with additional arms supplied by Iran, in anticipation of countering IDF forces.

Iranian President Pezeshkian has warned against allowing Lebanon to become another Gaza at the hands of Israel, stating that Hezbollah cannot stand alone against a nation supported by the U.S. and the West.

In response to escalating tensions, the British Defence Ministry is accelerating the evacuation of British nationals from Lebanon, fearing the outbreak of a full-scale war.

The complete Hezbollah battle plan to conquer Israel   Barry Shaw

Revealed for the first time, this was the Hezbollah battle plan for the invasion of the Zionist State (Israel).

Sep 24, 2024, 9:01 AM – These are the stages of the Hezbollah battle plan for the invasion of the Zionist State (Israel).

THE “CONQUEST OF THE GALILEE” PLAN

One of the main lessons Hezbollah learned from the Lebanon War was the need to change the goals of the next war against Israel.

Hezbollah sought to develop offensive capabilities that would enable it to conduct a war within Israeli territory.

Imad Mughniyeh, the architect of the plan, determined that in the next war, Hezbollah would invade, capture territories and take hostages in the Galilee (North Israel).

Hezbollah targeted areas where it had topographical superiority compared to Israel’s topographical disadvantage near the border.

THE PLAN’S HIGHLIGHTS:

• Training Hezbollah’s special forces to take control of isolated Israeli towns along the northern border.

In Hezbollah’s terminology, this was referred to as the “Conquest of the Galilee.”

• Digging tunnels penetrating Israeli territory near Israeli settlements. These tunnels were intended for the passage of hundreds of fighters, not for the abduction of soldiers or civilians.

Mughniyeh’s model was the North Korean infiltration tunnels, which Iranian instructors had studied closely.

• Hezbollah’s operational plan also involved building a massive missile-launching capability targeting population centers and strategic sites from the Haifa area in the north, through Tel Aviv in the center, down to Dimona in the south.

Hezbollah’s concept was that this situation would attract all of Israel’s military attention, allowing Hezbollah’s special forces to execute the “Conquest of the Galilee” plan.

THE OPERATIONAL PLAN:

The source reported that Hezbollah’s operational plan, developed in coordination with senior Iranian strategic experts, is based on deploying a force of 5,000 fighters, recently trained in Iran specifically for this purpose. In another report, it was stated that Hezbollah forces recently completed intensive training in Iran and were deployed in southern Lebanon and the Beqaa.

It was also reported that in the Maydon area in western Beqaa, Hezbollah engineering units finished excavation work and position improvements, and Iranian Army engineering units mined areas in eastern Beqaa, marked as potential landing zones for Israeli special forces, whose goal would be to strike Hezbollah’s missile and artillery arrays.

• The 1st brigade will take control of the city of Nahariya, or parts of it, after crossing the border in the Rosh HaNikra area. According to Hezbollah’s information, the defenses in this area are minimal, the distance is short (7 km), and there are no special military or topographical features that would delay the brigade from achieving its objective.

At the same time, a force of 150 fighters from the first brigade will reach Nahariya by sea using speedboats that Hezbollah already possesses. The mission assigned to this force is to take as many hostages as possible to prevent Israel from bombing Hezbollah forces in this sector.

• The 2nd brigade will take control of the town of Shlomi, which has a population of 6,500 and is located about 300 meters from the border. The goal is to sever the IDF’s supply lines and force it to send reinforcements from the east to areas in North Israel, where a large number of military forces are located.

• The 3rd brigade was instructed to reach the city of Karmiel and take control of areas south of it in order to block movement from Acre on the Mediterranean coast to Safed.

• The 4th brigade will take control of the the towns: Malkia, Ramot Naftali, and Yiftach to prevent the IDF from producing fire from these areas toward southern Lebanon.

•The 5th brigade will serve as a strategic reserve force assigned to special missions.

The Hezbollah-affiliated source reported that Hezbollah’s fighting force will consist of 5 brigades, each composed of 1,000 fighters. Each brigade has been assigned a defined combat zone in Israel to take control of. Therefore, each brigade is familiar with the structure and topographical conditions of its zone and has trained for its conquest.

This is the major attack planned against Israel that the IDF is currently destroying in Lebanon.

All this, armed and trained by Iran.

Furthermore, Hezbollah has thousands more forces trained and prepared to attack Israel which are stationed in Syria and in Iraq.

Tomatoes Now Luxury Items in Israeli Markets

September 24, 2024  JBN News – From salads to shakshuka, tomatoes are a staple of Israeli cuisine with an average consumption of 14,000 tons per month. However, a recent shortage has turned this kitchen essential into a rare commodity.

On average, regular tomatoes are now selling for up to 15 shekels ($4.00) per kilogram in stores. Premium cluster tomatoes have reached even more staggering heights, commanding between 25 and 45 shekels per kilo. The crisis has contributed to a 10% increase in the Consumer Price Index which is significantly impacting the cost of living for average Israelis.

Two main factors have contributed to Israel’s tomato catastrophe.

Last summer, a merciless heatwave decimated local harvests, leaving farmers with wilted crops and slim pickings. Just as the domestic shortage bit hard, Turkish President Recep Erdoğan’s complete import/export ban in support of Hamas has left Israeli supermarkets scrambling.

To make matters worse, Jordan is refusing to export tomatoes to Israel even after the Israeli Health Ministry lifted a recent ban on produce imports. The ban was initially imposed last month due to concerns about cholera bacteria found in runoff from the Yarmouk River. Despite Israel’s reinstatement of imports under certain conditions, Jordanian officials remain uncooperative.

A source in Israel’s Agriculture Ministry suggests that Jordan might be using this incident as an excuse to punish Israel over its ongoing war with Hamas and Hezbollah.

“The Jordanians were offended by the unilateral announcement and are awaiting an apology from the Health Ministry,” the source tells JNS. “With a global shortage of tomatoes and rising demand, Jordanian growers have no issue finding alternative markets.”

Now, with both home-grown and imported options drying up, Israel’s Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security has ordered an additional import quota for 5,000 tons of tariff-free tomatoes. Effective until December, it follows a similar 5,000-ton quota approved in mid-August by the Health Ministry, with 2,500 tons already entering Israel from Poland.

IDF Names Offensive Against Hezbollah “Northern Arrows” After It Carries Out 1,300+ Airstrikes   [VIDEOS]

September 23, 2024 4:30 pm  Yeshiva World News – The IDF has officially named its military offensive against Hezbollah in Lebanon “Northern Arrows,” according to IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi.

The announcement comes after a major escalation in hostilities over the past 24 hours, with the IDF launching extensive airstrikes targeting Hezbollah positions across Lebanon. According to military reports, more than 1,300 sites linked to the Iran-backed terror group have been hit in the ongoing operation.

One of the airstrikes targeted senior Hezbollah commander Ali Karaki in Beirut. If his death is confirmed, it would leave Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah increasingly isolated, as Israel has systematically eliminated much of the group’s leadership over the past 11 months. However, in a statement released Monday night, Hezbollah dismissed rumors of his death, insisting that Karaki was “fine and, God willing, in full health and wellness and has moved to a safe place.”

The IDF has yet to provide further details on the strike, which marks the fourth such operation in Beirut since Hezbollah-led forces began launching near-daily attacks on Israeli communities and military posts along the northern border, in solidarity with Hamas during the ongoing war in Gaza.

The IDF on Monday night released images that purportedly show Hezbollah storing munitions inside civilian homes in southern Lebanon. One of the images depicts a long-range missile housed in the attic of a residential home in the village of Houmine al-Tahta. The missile, mounted on a hydraulic system, is reportedly ready to launch from an opening in the roof, with a Lebanese family living on the first floor directly beneath the weapon.

“This is an immediate and real threat to Israeli civilians, and we have an obligation to remove it,” IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said during a press conference.

 

Traffic Jam: Lebanese citizens no longer have any room to flee northwards.

[Ed.:  No where to run…  They would have been better off walking, but they’re safe for now, anyway!  Israel wouldn’t hit them, anyway!.  Night:

 

⚠️ HEZBOLLAH’S ESCALATING THREATS TO ISRAEL AND THE IDF’S STRATEGIC RESPONSE TO PROTECT CIVILIANS ⚠️

September 23, 2024 @ 5:38 pm ET  ISRAEL REALTIME

Since October 8th, Hezbollah has launched over 9,000 rockets, missiles, and UAVs targeting Israeli families, homes, and communities. In the past week alone, more than 700 rockets and UAVs have struck deep inside Israel, forcing hundreds of thousands of citizens into bomb shelters. For years, Hezbollah has been planning to replicate in northern Israel what Hamas did in the south on October 7th—an invasion, infiltration of civilian communities, and the massacre of innocent civilians. To accomplish this, they devised a strategy called “Conquer the Galilee.”

On Friday, the IDF launched a precise strike in Beirut, targeting Ibrahim Aqil, the architect of this plan, along with other senior commanders of Hezbollah’s Radwan Force. These commanders were planning a similar attack in northern Israel.

In order to prevent Hezbollah from carrying out such an attack, and to ensure the safe return of 60,000 Israelis displaced from northern Israel, the IDF has acted aggressively against the threat posed by Hezbollah, which is just a few hundred meters from Israeli communities. Based on accurate intelligence, the IDF has conducted extensive strikes on Hezbollah targets in Lebanon. So far, 1,300 targets have been hit, including long-range missiles, rockets with 1,000 kg warheads, and UAVs—all capable of reaching deep inside Israeli territory and causing significant damage.

Despite efforts to minimize civilian casualties by providing warnings to residents in Lebanon where Hezbollah has embedded its military assets, Hezbollah has prevented civilians from evacuating, using them as human shields. Hezbollah strategically stores long-range rockets in civilian homes, such as in the village of Houmin Al Tachta in Southern Lebanon, where rockets are hidden in attics under homes where families reside.

Secondary explosions have been observed following IDF strikes, indicating that Hezbollah’s weapon storage in civilian areas has caused significant damage. One example is a house used by Hezbollah to store weapons that exploded after an IDF strike, triggering a nearby rocket launch. Hezbollah bears responsibility for this dangerous situation, as they have turned southern Lebanon into a battlefield, storing weapons in civilian homes and using them to attack Israeli communities.

The international community must condemn Hezbollah’s blatant violation of international law, which endangers civilians on both sides of the border. The IDF continues to make every effort to avoid harming civilians while targeting Hezbollah militants and their weapons.

Israel faces threats on all fronts. The IDF must continue its operations to dismantle Hamas’s capabilities in Gaza, ensure the release of hostages held by Hamas, and secure the safety of all Israeli citizens in the north and south.

IDF: “Let me be clear: Hezbollah is responsible for this situation. This is Hezbollah’s plan – to turn southern Lebanon into a battlefield for its attacks on Israel. We cannot accept a terrorist group storing weapons inside people’s homes, and using them to fire at other civilian communities.”

Sirens in Galilee & near Tiberias: Over 300 Hezbollah targets struck in Lebanon   Chana Roberts

IAF conducts two waves of strikes on Monday morning, targeting Hezbollah weapons and infrastructure in southern Lebanon; terror group returns fire, launching missile barrages towards Galilee. One injured.

Sep 23, 2024, 12:36 PM  INN – The IDF on Monday carried out two waves of strikes in southern Lebanon, hours after striking over 150 terror targets. According to the IDF, since Monday morning, Israel has hit over 300 Hezbollah targets in Lebanon.

Prior to the start of the attacks, IDF Arabic spokesman Avichay Adraee warned Lebanese civilians: “The strikes will begin soon. Immediately evacuate the homes in which weapons are hidden. Hezbollah is lying to you and sacrificing you. The organization is saying that you are its members and that you are important to it, but it seems that their missiles and UAVs are more important to it.”

Reuters reported that Israel took control of a number of Lebanese radio stations, through which it is sending warnings to Lebanese civilians.

According to reports, Lebanon’s Culture and Public Diplomacy ministers have been instructed to leave their offices, and the country’s Health Ministry has demanded that hospitals reschedule non-urgent operations in order to allow treatment for those wounded in the strikes.

Lebanon’s Health Ministry has reported 100 dead and over 400 injured in the Israeli strikes.

Early on Monday afternoon, multiple barrages of missiles were launched from Lebanon towards Israeli territory, activating sirens in wide swaths of northern Israel.

Several interceptions were reported over Tzfat (Safed). Reports in Kahal said that a missile had fallen in the area, though it could potentially have been falling shrapnel from an interceptor. A direct strike was reported on a home in Givat Avni; no one was injured.

“Following the sirens that sounded at 12:24 in the areas of Ami’ad and Safed, approximately 25 projectiles were identified crossing from Lebanon into Israeli territory,” the IDF reported. “The IDF Aerial Defense Array successfully intercepted a number of projectiles. Numerous falls were identified in open areas and adjacent to the area of Ami’ad.”

“Following the sirens that sounded at 12:43 in the Lower Galilee area, approximately 10 projectiles were identified crossing from Lebanon into Israeli territory. Numerous falls were identified.

“Following the sirens that sounded at 12:19 in the area of Elkosh, the details are under review.”

Several blazes ignited near Ami’ad, and were extinguished by firefighting teams.

Magen David Adom (MDA) reported: “Magen David Adom (MDA) paramedics are providing initial medical treatment to a 50-year-old man who suffered light injuries following the missile barrage on northern Israel. The teams are evacuating the victim to a local hospital, fully conscious and with shrapnel injuries to his limbs.”

Later reports raised the number of injured to five, among them three who had suffered shock.

MDA EMT Fadi Ottman said: “We were called to a driver who had stopped on the side of the road during the sirens and who was injured by shrapnel in his lower limbs. He was fully conscious. We provided him with medical treatment and evacuated him via ambulance to the hospital, with very light injuries.”

Israel will obliterate Lebanon – Hezbollah stronghold will be a death zone with NOTHING left  [VIDEO  10:38]

September 21, 2024 – ISRAEL will turn southern Lebanon into a “death zone” with nothing left standing, an ex-spy has warned.

Tel Aviv appears to be preparing to invade its northern neighbour as it shifts its focus north from Gaza with a new “phase” and war goal.

Tensions have skyrocketed after Israel blitzed the country with exploding pagers and walkie-talkies that left at least 37 dead and 3,600 wounded.

The Wall Street Journal reported US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has told senior Pentagon officials he feared Israel could soon invade.

A Lebanon invasion to fight Hezbollah has wide support in Israel, with one poll finding it had 71 per cent of the country’s backing.

Former Mossad spy Avner Avraham said his country should create a 10km “death zone” inside Lebanon by invading it and forcibly displacing locals.
