‘There is no ceasefire here’ in Lebanon When the ceasefire was announced overnight, people were hoping it would hold and that Lebanon would be included. But it soon became clear that Lebanon was not included. These statements came directly from the Israeli military, who released several warnings this morning leading up to a very massive, countrywide strike. One of them included an entire neighborhood here, Abbasiya, which was also targeted during this massive strike across the country. Several locations on the outskirts of the city were also attacked. Two missiles landed in the center of Tyre itself, on the small peninsula that goes out into the Mediterranean Sea. People were actually hoping to come back to these areas in southern Lebanon after the ceasefire announcement. There was some traffic headed from the north to the south overnight. But now it has become clear to everybody here, there is no ceasefire. |
