One factor, more than others, has changed wars and created major challenges for Israel in south Lebanon: Fiber-optic explosive drones. Already seen in Ukraine, Hezbollah started using them around late March. It's the gamification of war.

Following intensive talks, we are pleased to announce that the Peace Deal between the United States of America and Islamic Republic of Iran has been REACHED. Both sides have declared the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon.

The official signing ceremony will be on Friday, 19 June in Switzerland.

We would like to thank the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran for their commitment to finding a diplomatic solution to the conflict. We would also like to extend our sincere appreciation to our brothers in this mediation effort, the great leadership of State of Qatar, for their support in reaching this agreement. I would also especially thank the visionary leadership of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Republic of Türkiye for their immense contributions in this regard.

With the agreement now in place, mediators will facilitate a series of meetings this week. These pre-implementation discussions will lay the foundation for the technical talks and the official signing ceremony.

Despite the Israeli occupation of southern #Lebanon, just like when #UNIFIL was established in 1978, the mission is set to expire in 2026

I’ve spoken to officials and analysts to better understand what comes next and the implications for southern Lebanon

Poco prima dell'annuncio di un cessate il fuoco in Libano, avevo parlato a @radiopopmilano della distruzione dell'ultimo ponte sul fiume Litani da parte dell'esercito israeliano che di fatto isola Tiro e le zone limitrofe dal resto del Paese, dal minuto 7

#Libano - Sono tornata nelle scuole che erano diventate rifugi a fine 2024, che riaccoglievano gli studenti a inizio 2025 e che ora sono tornate rifugi per una piccola parte di più di 1 milione di sfollati dai bombardamenti israeliani. Per @altreconomia

2026 is UNIFIL’s final year of operation in #Lebanon. Despite Israeli violations occurring daily, peacekeepers are not authorised to take action, except in self-defense. On Jan. 5 UNIFIL took action against an Israeli threat. Investigation on @defense_news https://t.co/RwXjj7FCCc

Over the past few weeks, I've spoken to people from South #Lebanon, analysts, former Lebanese Army generals, UNIFIL, and a Hezbollah source to take stock of Hezbollah's two-speed disarmament process in Lebanon. "A catch-22 which may lead to re-escalation".

#Siria - Nei primi 6 mesi del 2025 secondo @snhr circa 2.818 civili sono stati uccisi. Mentre costruisce la sua immagine all'estero, per @STJ_SYRIA_ENG il governo fatica ad assumersi le sue responsabilità e a riconoscere la matrice settaria delle violenze

تتعامل إيران مع لحظة تحوّل خطيرة في هذه الحرب. تزامن التحضيرات لدخول الولايات المتحدة إلى المواجهة مع إبراز شخصية رضا بهلوي نجل الشاه السابق كبديل جاهز لنظام الجمهورية الإسلامية. كل المؤشرات تؤكد ما ذهبنا إليه من اللحظة الأولى لانطلاق الحرب بأنها عملية تهدف لتغيير النظام مغلفة بالمسألة النووية. النظام في إيران وشبكة حلفائه الاقليمية يواجهون الآن لحظة وجودية حاسمة.

Al Jazeera has published the names of every journalist killed since Oct 7th.

231 Palestinian journalists have been slaughtered in Gaza. A whole generation of reporters wiped out while many of their colleagues in the West simply shrugged.

[Ali Hashem علي هاشم @Alihashem]

The tit-for-tat dynamic between Iran and Israel risks spiraling into a vicious cycle, locking both sides into an escalating commitment that could steadily drain their resources and lead to unpredictable, and potentially far-reaching consequences.
