Iran refuses to dismantle missiles, says ready for war with Israel; US envoy says Lebanon has “failed,” Hezbollah remains heavily-armed.

Despite a cease-fire, Israel intensifies its actions in Lebanon—targeting Hezbollah operatives, holding large-scale military drills and signaling it will not withdraw until security is guaranteed.

Israel accuses Beirut of failing to fulfill its obligations in dealing with Hezbollah.

Ironically, the decisive blow against the terrorist group may come not from the Israel Defense Forces, but from Beirut.

The AP’s sob piece on the dashed dreams of Hezbollah terrorists wounded in Israel’s “pager attack” is a disgrace to journalism.

Targets struck included a site for producing explosives, as well as an underground facility for developing and storing strategic weapons.

Hezbollah’s refusal to disarm and Beirut’s inability to control it means Israel may need to deliver a crushing blow to the terrorist group.

Like the Nazis, Hezbollah can’t be part of the solution. For the sake of stability, it must be removed.

The key to a long-term solution lies in Damascus rather than Beirut, via a comprehensive settlement with the new Syrian regime, expert tells JNS.
