Israel Clueless About Ramadan Hezbollah Seems Just as Oblivious

The month of Ramadan has begun, and the awaited ceasefire in Gaza has not started. Israel continues its bombing and killing of innocents, as well as the destruction of cities and streets. In Lebanon, the violent fighting has not ceased; on the contrary, its intensity has increased, with multiple consecutive strikes hitting Beqaa. Israel doesn’t recognize Ramadan, nor does it care about holidays or value religious and social occasions; it only sympathizes with its interests. And in pursuit of those interests, everything is permissible.

Israel is Israel, but what alarms the Lebanese is Hezbollah’s indifference towards Ramadan. “hezb” shows no interest in resolving the crisis in the south and now the north, as unexploded rockets have hit several areas, the latest being Kesrouan. It doesn’t seem concerned with ending the war and sparing Lebanon from further devastation. On the contrary, it increases its targeting, which hasn’t benefited Gaza at all.

Hezbollah initiated the battle with Israel last October 8th, and since then, Lebanon and its people from the south to Beqaa have paid the heaviest price, without understanding why this is happening or why the party continues to reject diplomatic solutions to stop Lebanon’s destruction. Who benefits more from the destruction than Israel?

Lebanese hear daily that Israel is preparing for a major military operation against Lebanon, conducting exercises and giving a name to the military operation, all while the government is inactive and “Hezb” continues as if the destruction of Lebanon means nothing to it. Hezbollah’s audacity has exceeded all expectations. Lebanese did not realize that even if “Hezb” could avoid war for Lebanon, it would seek it out and bring it to Lebanon, leaving it to destroy all its cities and kill its people, simply out of defiance and arrogance. Israel doesn’t recognize Ramadan, and it’s clear that Hezbollah doesn’t either.
