Has Hezbollah Abandoned Gaza?

Bloggers are today asking that with the current ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon if Hezbollah has abandoned Gaza?

The ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hezbollah was the most prominent event on Arab social media platforms. After nearly a year of support announced by the party to the Palestinian resistance, an agreement was reached, Wednesday, with Israel to stop the fighting and war.

This announcement sparked controversy and division. Some bloggers considered Hezbollah abandoned the will of its late General Secretary Hassan Nasrallah who was killed by Israel, to support Gaza according to Al Jazeera.

Others on the other hand, saw that the party did what it could to support the people of Gaza in many ways which other  countries were unable to do.

The first thing bloggers circulated was part of Nasrallah’s last speech, in which he said, “the resistance in Lebanon will not stop supporting Gaza, despite all the sacrifices it has made.”

They added the current ceasefire agreement has gone beyond the last will of Nasrallah that “the Lebanese front will not stop before the aggression on Gaza stops.”

They pointed out: “We will not deceive ourselves. Israel succeeded tonight in separating the fronts, leaving Gaza alone, and this has now become a reality. This scenario was proposed since the beginning of the war: Stopping support for Gaza and Hezbollah withdrawing from south of the Litani, which was ultimately agreed upon according to their interpretation.

One of the bloggers commented: “Today, and today only, we felt the loss of Mr. Hassan Nasrallah, who promised not to abandon supporting Gaza in its honorable struggle for human dignity and freedom, but the party’s acceptance of the truce with Israel is a great loss.”

On the other hand, there are those who saw that the party did what it had to do in supporting the resistance in Gaza and that it lost its Secretary-General and a number of its first leaders to support and back the Palestinian resistance. They added that Hezbollah did what it had to do and made great sacrifices, starting with its political and military leaders, and that in the end it is not a superpower but a resistance movement in a small country and the whole world is against it.

Others saw that Israel acquiesced to the ceasefire with Hezbollah for several reasons, the most important of which is separating the Hezbollah front from Gaza and the isolation of Hamas and that Israel’s failed in its land war in Lebanon as in Gaza despite its air superiority.

600 Israeli Occupiers Storm Al Aqsa

Nearly 600 Israeli occupiers stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in occupied East Jerusalem on Sunday as Israeli authorities imposed restrictions on Palestinian worshippers during the Jewish New Year, according to the Jerusalem Governorate.

The governorate said in a statement that 593 occupiers entered the compound through the Dung Gate (Bab al-Maghariba) on the second day of the Jewish holiday.

The incursions took place in morning and afternoon sessions under the protection of Israeli forces, it added.

The governorate had earlier put the number of those who entered the mosque at 480 before updating the figure to 593.

In a separate statement, it said Israeli authorities restricted access to Al-Aqsa Mosque during dawn prayers Sunday to the Hutta and Chain gates.

Israeli authorities also imposed age restrictions on worshippers, while soldiers stationed at checkpoints refused to disclose which age groups were permitted to enter, according to the governorate.

The measures prevented many worshippers from reaching the mosque, while a small number who managed to reach the area were forced to pray at its gates.

The restrictions coincided with calls by Israeli Temple groups for intensified incursions into the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound during the Jewish New Year.

The Jerusalem Governorate said the incursions are part of an ongoing escalation targeting the mosque during the Jewish holiday season, alongside a rise in orders barring Palestinians from entering the site.

It said it had documented around 850 such orders since the beginning of the year.

On Friday, the governorate warned of “growing calls by alleged Israeli Temple groups to impose their religious rituals inside Al-Aqsa Mosque during the Jewish holidays.”

It said Israeli occupiers are seeking to impose their rituals “by force” around the mosque and at its gates, warning of attempts to establish “a new reality” and undermine the site’s Islamic identity.

The Jewish holiday season began with Rosh Hashanah on Sept. 12-13 and continues with Yom Kippur on Sept. 21, followed by Sukkot from Sept. 26 to Oct. 2 and Simchat Torah on Oct. 3.

Since 2003, Israeli police have unilaterally allowed Israeli occupiers to enter the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, despite repeated calls by the Islamic Waqf Department in Jerusalem to halt such incursions.

Palestinians say Israel has for decades intensified efforts to Judaize occupied East Jerusalem, including Al-Aqsa Mosque, and erase its Arab and Islamic identity.

They insist that East Jerusalem should be the capital of a future Palestinian state under international resolutions that do not recognize Israel’s occupation of the city in 1967 or its 1980 annexation. Anadolu

At 153 Israel Pumps More Illegal Settlements in WB

Israel has advanced 153 plans for illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, since the beginning of 2026, targeting the construction of more than 18,000 housing units, a Palestinian government body said Sunday.

The Palestinian Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission said its monitoring showed a “high level of planning activity aimed at expanding settlements.”

Israeli authorities advanced 100 plans targeting the construction of 12,300 housing units across the West Bank between the beginning of the year and Sept. 13, it added.

Another 53 plans target 5,783 housing units in occupied East Jerusalem within the boundaries set by the Israeli municipality, the commission said.

In September alone, Israeli authorities advanced 12 new plans for 2,340 housing units covering a total area of 1,761 dunams, it said.

In an earlier report, the commission said Israeli planning bodies had considered 524 structural plans for illegal settlements between Oct. 7, 2023, and June 30, 2026.

The government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has accelerated illegal settlement expansion in the occupied West Bank since taking office in late 2022, approving the establishment of 104 new illegal settlements since then.

Israel has occupied the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, since 1967. Israeli settlements built on occupied Palestinian land are considered illegal under international law. Anadolu
