Israelis Slam Hezbollah Ceasefire

Former head of the Israeli military intelligence division, Tamir Hayman, admitted the Israeli army did not achieve any of its goals in its aggression against Lebanon. He noted the goal of returning the settlers quickly and safely to the north was not achieved.
He stressed Hezbollah fighters “embodied, through their bold fighting against the Israeli army, the saying that equations are imposed only on the ground.”
He pointed out “Israel has a problem with ammunition stores after a year of fighting, a problem with the capabilities of reserve soldiers, and a problem with the target, and the army does not choose the target, but rather it is the prime minister who determines it (returning the residents safely).”
Hayman said that “the Israelis described the agreement with Lebanon as an agreement of surrender and submission to Hezbollah.”
Further, a recent poll shows that 99% of Israelis believe that “Israel did not win the war against Hezbollah,” which, according to analysts, achieved “absolute victory.”
After the ceasefire agreement between Hezbollah and Israel came into effect, Channel 14 condemned the return of residents of southern Lebanon to their towns, despite the threats of the Israeli army spokesman.
It said: “They do not listen to the Israeli army spokesman but they return to southern Lebanon.”
Mayor of the Kiryat Shmona settlement, Amichai Stern said he is unwilling “for his settlers to return [to the north] like cattle to be slaughtered.”
He continued: “Regardless of being the mayor, I do not feel safe raising my children in Kiryat Shmona, as the homes in the Lebanese villages are advanced sites, and after 7 October we all knew what awaited us in southern Lebanon.”
Head of the Merom Hagalil Regional Council Amit Sofer saw the ceasefire agreement as “providing calm, not security,” and said: “No one wants to live in a place where there is no security.”
For his part, head of the Metula Council David Azoulay blasted that the Israeli government concluded a “shameful agreement with Hezbollah”, considering that it had left the settlers of the north to their fate.
He added in a Hebrew Channel 12 interview that: “The Israeli army says it is on the Litani, but we should not be enthusiastic, as it is only 2 kilometers near Metula and we have not entered tens of kilometers.”
He added he lacked confidence “in the Israeli government, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Hezbollah,” as reported in Jo24.
The ceasefire agreement between Lebanon and the Israeli occupation entered into force Wednesday 26, November, 2024 at exactly 4 am Beirut time. From the first minutes, the residents of the south, the Bekaa and the southern suburb began returning to their towns.

Israel’s Channel 12 revealed that the war with Hezbollah has resulted in the deaths of 124 Israelis, 79 soldiers of whom, since the escalation of the war last September.
Israeli army radio reported that sirens sounded 22,715 times in Israel as a result of Hezbollah attacks, including 16,198 warnings due to missile strikes and 6,517 warnings due to drones.
Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper also reported that data from the property tax indicates that more than 9,000 buildings and 7,000 vehicles were completely destroyed in northern Israel due to Hezbollah fire.
The Israeli government has so far paid 140 million shekels ($38.4 million) in compensation for damages, amid expectations that the number will increase due to ongoing evacuations and unreported injuries.
A poll conducted by Israel’s Channel 13 showed that 61% of Israelis believe that their country has not defeated Hezbollah, while 66% of them expressed their support for ending the genocidal war in the Gaza Strip in order to reach a prisoner exchange deal.
The ceasefire agreement between Hezbollah and Israel went into effect at dawn on Wednesday, thus ending more than 13 months of military confrontations across the border and two months of open war between the two sides according to the Palestine Information Center.
UPDATE: 340 Missiles Land on Israel in 24 Hrs

CROSSFIREARABIA – The number of Hezbollah missiles launched from southern Lebanon, Sunday, has increased to 340.
This is the largest single volley of missiles Hezbollah struck north and center Israel in a single day since 7 October, 2023.
These trajectories, including missiles and drones have reached all parts, cities, towns, settlements and military and naval bases across Israel, reaching to the Ashdod Port just before the northern Gaza Strip.
The major city of Tel Aviv took a battering on Sunday, 24 November, 2024, being volley-struck four times in a single day – the biggest ever scare since 7 October.
Today, sirens, according to Israeli sources went off 500 times across Israel with four million Israelis spending their day in underground shelters.
Full details can be found below:
Military expert Brigadier-General Elias Hanna said that Hezbollah is trying – through its intensive rocket barrages towards central Israel, Sunday – “to draw a new equation whose title is the heart of Beirut versus Tel Aviv.” He explained that Hezbollah has proven its ability to launch rockets from the front lines into the Israeli interior, pointing to the large number of rockets it launched today compared to a previous daily average of between 70 and 100 rockets.
Hezbollah: 250 Missiles Land on Israel in One Day

CROSSFIREARABIA – It’s being described as a black day as 250 Hezbollah missiles land on Israel from southern Lebanon in under 24 hours.
For Israel, it’s a first nation-wide alert with 24th November, 2024 likely to be remembered as one of the most difficult days between the Israeli army and Hezbollah fighters.
Over 250 missiles have landed on different parts of Israel including Naharya, Acca, Haifa, Beith Takfah, West Galilee, Krayot, HaSharon, Herzilya, Tel Aviv and the port of Ashdod, bordering Gaza, which is 150 kilometers away from Tel Aviv.
It speaks much about the encroachment of the so-called “Israeli depth” that today lies bare with Hamas in the south and Hezbollah in the north.
This is being described as “unprecedented” in a wide set of attacks covering at least half of Israel and is trending on the social media with its continual updates.
It began on early Sunday morning, after Israeli warplanes bombed the southern district of Beirut leading to many deaths and injuries.
The rockets on northern Israel that included military bases near Tel Aviv had been climbing from 150 missiles, some of who are ballistic to 170 with the latest figure standing at 200 and 250 and set to increase.
Damages and fires is being reported in the Israeli media with at least 10 people being injured but this is being described as the “war of missiles.”
With these projectiles landing on Israel daily – they increased in intensity when Israeli decided to stage its air and land war on Lebanon last September with the killing of Hezbollah’s Chief Hassan Nasrallah, the escalation on the Jewish state have continued daily.
The only people that seems to be affected by this are civilians. Whilst Israel’s war on Lebanon have displaced 1.4 million people in the south of the country, hundreds of thousands of Israelis have also been displaced from their homes and living in sheltered accommodation.
But apart from that up to two million Israelis in central Israel and the Tel Aviv conurbation have been “running up-and-down” between underground shelters.
Today sirens dominate the Israeli scene, going on and off on all hours of the day, at night, early mornings, when people are asleep and during the day.
The rockets, missiles, sirens have made life so unbearable that life has changed dramatically with hundreds thousands already left the country and many more thousands are thinking of actively getting out.
Today, the atmosphere in Israel – never been experienced before and judged from the siren blasts at 401 sound alerts in 11 regions – is tense and downright frightful, a bit like Gaza or the southern district of Beirut. Its no longer the place its original founders intended it to be.
The new message is “you can’t enjoy yoursleves while living on the lands of another people; all must suffer the consequences. Israelis are realizing that. Their way out is through the congested Ben Gurion Airport which is topsy-turvy shutdown due to the daily missiles and drones.
