  1. Hezbollah is heavily involved in various criminal activities outside Lebanon, particularly drug trafficking, to fund its terrorist operations. One key area of its operations is cocaine smuggling in South America, especially in the so-called "Tri-Border Area" between Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay. In this region, Hezbollah collaborates with drug cartels to smuggle narcotics into Europe and the Middle East, using the profits to finance its military and political activities.

  3. Lebanon has been firing rockets into Israel for 11 months….another 400 yesterday…..and they want to know why Israel does not accept a cease fire ?

  5. 5:10 "em, em, em…" Looks to me Emily is not a very competent journalist. Her way of conveying information to the camera needs a lot of work.

  9. El mismo cuento de estos ter ror istas, atacan a Israel y después andan llorando 🤔. Ya nadie les cree sus mentiras y cinismo

  12. Feel sorry for lebanese civilians, why did the lebanese govt. allow terrorist org. to infiltrate & take root this horrific situation cud hav been avoided.

  15. 0:00 – 2:34 eesh, if Hashem Safieddine is alive, he’s likely wishing he wasn’t right about now – at that point Hashem be contemplating whether it’s worth it or not to cling onto what life he has left if any

  16. Israel should have an Arabic media… I feel these Arabic speaking peoples don’t understand their side. Seriously. This Lebanese leader must be thankful Israel is doing what he can not do himself. He is too weak

  25. Why not ceasefire accepting Israel 🇮🇱? Acting PM is asking 😂😂 in war when you started , u have no choice to demand ceasefire instead of surrendering yourself and accept defeat 🎉🎉

  26. Over hundreds of Hezbollah operatives has been killed but Israel is paying a heavy price with nine soldiers that got killed. Hezbollah used the crossing to smuggle weapons but Israel is going after civilians crossing the border. If Lebanon want the war to stop then why not take control of the border crossing and inspect vehicles, cause the more weapons that enter then the longer it takes the war to end.

  28. Why Lebanese officials were housing the Hezbollah terrorist for all these years and supporting them firing rockets. Now they want ceasefire. Corrupt…

  29. Where is Lebanese government army? Why don't they come out of bunkers and take care of Hezbollah who was constantly firing rockets at Israel? Now the PM is asking for cease fire? What a ….

  30. Why did Lebanon attack Israel since otober 8? And why didn't Lebanon respond to Israel when Israel asked them to stop bombing Israel? Now they want a cease?????

  31. I totally disagree with israel's existence but to ask why they dont accept a ceasefire is absurd. Theyre winning the war, why would they stop now?!?!?

  32. i think who is he to declare ceasefire? Hezbollah should declare ceasefire. why Lebanese police has not taken any action on Hezbollah for last year when they were firing missiles?

  35. Maybe Isreal is not accepting a ceasefire because Hezbollah has fired more than 9000 missiles into Isreal without any provocation. Hamas still holds the hostages and Lebanon facilitates a launch pad for these attacks on Isreal. Whilst all of this is happening, Iranian ministers fly in to give fresh instructions.

  40. Well, Lebanese prime minister and Lebanese military is not capable of enforcing Hezbollah to keep their rocket away from Israel. Now, why he offer a ceasefire on behalf Hezbollah.

  42. Stop fighting? rofl perhaps you shoudnt allow terorists to use your teritory to lanch millitary grade atacks from. Who has 0 controll of whats going on in his own contry has no say in calling for a cease fire when it suits the terrorists to rebild their chain of comand …….

  44. Israel-Palestine is a bilateral issue between the two…third countries like Lebanon shouldn't get involved….let Palestinians struggle for their own State..

  47. What does he mean, "why does Israel not accept a ceasefire today?" When was a ceasefire offered? The US and France decided they wanted one, but there are two sides to every fight, and neither side agreed. Are you saying Israel should stop fighting while Hezbollah keeps bombing us? Hezbollah made it clear they have no intent to stop, and Hamas has made it clear they have no intent to release the hostages. This is tantamount to asking why Israel isn't willing to lay down its weapons and die.
