Lebanon update: Hezbollah claims to have repelled Israeli border crossing attempts | DW News

Fighting continues in southern Lebanon with reports of more rockets fired into Israel by Hezbollah militants.

Explosions have also hit Beirut. The Israeli army says it has hit more than 180 Hezbollah targets in Lebanon in the past 24 hours.

The military also published this video of its troops operating in southern Lebanon. An Israeli commander was reported to have been killed in an exchange of fire. Hezbollah earlier claimed it repelled two attempts by Israeli soldiers to cross into Lebanon.

This comes as Israeli forces have opened a new front in the conflict – along Lebanon’s Mediterranean coast.

For more on this, we talk to journalist Karim el-Gawhary, who joins us from Beirut.

  1. Israeli-Arab Peace Process?

    Why is the UN Resolution condemning Israel? The nations are dependent on Arab oil for survival. In our world, oil outranks morality. Why are Israeli leaders, even Right Winger Netanyahu, willing to give away their own Land? Arab oil. They fear Arab oil dependent nations will slap an economic boycott on Israel. The Israeli leaders have hoped that at some point world leaders would finally realize Arafat's demands were irrational. For the first time a leftist Israeli government feels Arafat cannot be trusted.

    But there is a higher dimension in this issue-Divine Providence. The new Israeli State is a miracle of history prophesied in~ the Bible. Its reclamation of wastelands (Amos 9:14), climatic changes (Zech. 8:11,12; Joel 2:21-23) and capture of Old Jerusalem (Zech. 12:5,6) were prophesied. Its boundaries, which include the Golan Heights and the West Bank, were foretold (Gen. 15:18-21; Jer. 16:14,15; Micah 7:14; Zech. 10:9,10). Eventually, the Arabs will recognize Israel's rights. Then Israel and her Arab neighbors will dwell in peace and economic harmony. Isaiah 19:14, 15.

  2. The LEBANON'S Citzens are now the RECENTLY Victms of the SiCKeNeD project to invade their Country under RENEWED Excuses to " Eliminating Hamas, Hezbolah. Houthis, Yemenis Capabilities ."
    As it has been said and stated from The Israeli Prime Minister's mouth on briefings of the News.

  3. 😂😂😂😂, Netanyahu doesn't need to be well seen in Lebanon, it's not his country, his message is clear, or you expell Hezbollah yourselves or Israel will do it, so you just have to decide, simple.

  4. Netanyahu is terrified; Now, once he touches the lap of the people of Iran, another time he kneels before the people of Lebanon, to end the war in any way possible.

  5. Former French Prime Minister Manuel Valls told Le Point magazine: "If Israel falls, we fall with it." Thus, Israel is merely a military base for Europe and a contractor for the United States.

  6. Israel is a Barbaric apartheid colonial state that currently occupies Palestinian land , Syrian Golan heights and the Lebanon Shabia farms,,,,,,,, yet it violated the peace agreement with egypt which states Isreal should not control Rafah crossing ,,, Free Palestine

  7. IDF is a social security programme. They fought in 9 square miles for a year. The campaign against one of the poorest nation in middle east will take about a decade.

  8. 6:21 this guys summed it all, the vast majority of Lebanese people have completely lost common sense, what they want is to fight Israel, not to improve their life by getting rid of Hezbollah

  9. Why don’t you ask the last correspondent a simple question. Hezbollah were refusing a ceasefire before when Israel wanted it. It was not Lebanon’s war to begin with. Now Hezbollah wants a ceasefire after Israel started pounding them. So did Israel do the right thing in taking on Hezbollah? And why should Israel give up now?

  10. Are DW and Mohammad Chreyteh proxies of Hezbollah? Why all of a sudden Hezbollah wants a ceasefire with Israel? Is it because they are being decimated left and right by the IDF and Mossad? Come on, every one can see that Hezbollah is running scared!

  11. Israel is hitting Hezbollah's weapons and terrorists which Lebanese government has let the terrorists of Hezbollah put weapons in the civilian Lebanese people

  12. Incredible how Netanyahu confesses what he did to innocent civilians in Gaza while making a statement about Lebanon. Now he is blackmailing Lebanon with a threat he did to Gaza. Israel has shown its true picture of what it has been doing in the Middle East in the name of self-defense for century, but the West and EU is to blame far more than Israel. They keep sending weapons so that Netanyahu carries out the atrocities he himself is confessing.
