Chris Hedges Report: Is Hezbollah Beating Israel In Lebanon?

April 19, 2026 The Chris Hedges Report. , , , ,
On April 16, the Trump administration forced the Israeli military to cease its attacks on Lebanon as part of an agreement with Iran to fully open the Strait of Hormuz. This marked another victory for the Axis of Resistance and the Lebanese people. However, Israel has a long history of violating its ceasefire agreements, and it is unlikely to give up on its fundamental goal of occupying Lebanon by attempting to foment a civil war between Hezbollah and the Lebanese military. In this episode, Chris Hedges speaks with Free Palestine TV journalist, Laith Marouf, who is reporting from southern Lebanon.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz threatened on 17 April that the Lebanon ceasefire is “temporary,” while vowing that occupation forces will not withdraw from the country’s south.  The war chief said the Israeli army “holds and will continue to hold all the areas it has cleared and captured.” “The ground maneuver into Lebanon and the strikes against Hezbollah throughout Lebanon have achieved many accomplishments, but they have not yet been completed,” he added.  “We are inside Lebanon in the midst of a war against Hezbollah, with a temporary freeze and a 10-day ceasefire.

The acting president of Venezuela, Delcy Rodríguez, commemorated Saturday the 24th anniversary of the 2002 failed far-right coup against President Hugo Chávez by emphasizing that the Venezuelan people reject fascism and remain steadfast in defense of their sovereignty. On Saturday, April 11, speaking at the Cotiza neighborhood in Caracas, Rodríguez noted that the upcoming April 13 celebration would mark the restoration of constitutional order, just as it did 24 years ago. “Every 11th has its 13th, and on the 13th we will be celebrating the restoration of democracy,” the acting president said.

As the residents of Nabi Chit settled in to sleep on the night of March 6-7, 2026, Hajjeh Hamda al-Halbawi heard strange digging noises in the Shukr family cemetery right outside her home, an unusual disturbance at such a late hour. When she stepped out of her home to investigate, a drone immediately opened fire at her. Witnesses tell Mondoweiss that the moment her son and daughter rushed over to take her to the hospital, the drone targeted them as well. All three were killed. The strikes soon became a massacre, as another neighbor emerged from a nearby house and was struck by a drone on his balcony.

Kataib Hezbollah Halts Attacks On US Embassy In Baghdad

March 20, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , ,
On 19 March, Iraq’s Kataib Hezbollah announced a five-day pause in attacks on the US Embassy in Baghdad, contingent upon Israel halting its attacks on Beirut and ceasing bombardments in Iraqi cities, as the US-Israeli war on Iran continues to expand throughout West Asia. The group said its secretary-general “issued orders to suspend operations targeting the US Embassy in Baghdad for a period of five days,” warning that “the response will be immediate” if the terms are violated. The terms include Israel “cease the destruction and bombardment of the southern suburbs in Beirut,” and called for “a commitment to not bomb residential areas in Baghdad and the provinces,” as well as “the withdrawal of CIA elements from their positions and keeping them inside the embassy.”

Israel Seeks To Spark A Lebanese Civil War

March 19, 2026 Robert Inlakesh, Mintpress News. , , ,
Surprised by the intensity of Hezbollah’s retaliatory attacks against it, Israel appears to be pivoting to sow internal chaos within Lebanon’s borders in a bid to trigger a catastrophic civil war. An attempted coup against the Lebanese military’s leadership may be the catalyst. At the beginning of May, the extent of the rocket and drone fire from Hezbollah at Israeli military targets struck Tel Aviv by surprise. However, the corporate media quickly constructed a narrative aimed at undermining the capabilities of the Lebanese resistance group and blaming it for the renewed hostilities, with the BBC running a headline entitled “Battered and isolated, Hezbollah drags Lebanon into another war”.

Hezbollah Warns ‘No Options Left But Resistance’ After Israeli Strikes

February 23, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , ,
Hezbollah said on 21 February that the Lebanese people “no longer have any option” other than resistance, after a series of violent and deadly Israeli attacks against the country’s east and south. Deputy chief of Hezbollah’s Political Council Mahmoud Qamati said “What happened yesterday in the Bekaa is a new massacre and a new aggression.” “What option do we have left to defend ourselves and our country? What other option do we have besides resistance? We no longer have any option,” he added. Another official, Hezbollah MP Rami Abu Hamdan, said mere government condemnation were no longer acceptable.

Israel Attacks UN Peacekeepers In Lebanon

November 20, 2025 Aseel Saleh, People's Dispatch. , , , , , , , , ,
The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) said in a press release on Sunday, November 16, that some of its troops were targeted by Israeli artillery shelling earlier that day inside the Lebanese territories. The peacekeeping mission clarified that its personnel escaped the offensive unharmed, after asking the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) to stop the assault through liaison channels. The UNIFIL considered the incident, which marks the third Israeli attack on its troops in the last three months, a serious violation of the Security Council resolution 1701, which was adopted in 2006 to resolve the war between Israel and Hezbollah.

US Envoy: Syria Will ‘Actively Assist’ Washington In Confronting Hezbollah

November 13, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , ,
US envoy Tom Barrack said on 13 November that the extremist-led government in Damascus will “actively assist” Washington and Tel Aviv in confronting Hezbollah in Lebanon. “I had the profound honor of accompanying Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa to the White House, where he became the first Syrian Head of State ever to visit since Syria gained its independence in 1946,” Barrack said on X. He also hailed the former Al-Qaeda chief’s “commitment” to joining Washington's ‘anti-ISIS’ coalition, “marking Syria’s transition from a source of terrorism to a counterterrorism partner – a commitment to rebuild, to cooperate, and to contribute to the stability of an entire region.” “Damascus will now actively assist us in confronting and dismantling the remnants of ISIS, the IRGC, Hamas, Hezbollah, and other terrorist networks, and will stand as a committed partner in the global effort to secure peace,” the envoy added.

Large-Scale Israeli War On Lebanon ‘A Matter Of Time’

October 26, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , ,
A large-scale Israeli military operation in Lebanon is imminent, according to European sources who spoke with Sky News Arabia on 24 October, describing it as “just a matter of time.” The report came as the Israeli army announced a series of military drills carried out recently, aimed at simulating an attack on Lebanon and various defense-related scenarios that could come with such a decision. According to the military, Israel's 91st Division – the "Galilee Division" – has completed the largest exercise since the beginning of the genocide in Gaza, aimed at “enhancing operational readiness” for military offensives along the border “by way of air, sea, and land.” Israel claimed these exercises are being carried out to prepare for a "range of scenarios," including reserve mobilization and force buildup.

Lebanon Under Siege: Inside Israel’s Plan To Disarm Hezbollah

October 11, 2025 Mnar Adley, MintPress News. , , ,
Fresh from its success in overthrowing the government of Syria and the assassination of the prime minister of Yemen, the U.S.-Israeli alliance has its sights set on a new target: Hezbollah. Last week, the United States government sent $230 million in military aid to the Lebanese Army. This enormous weapons package was green lit with one objective: to dismantle Hezbollah as a force capable of resisting Israeli attacks. In September, the Lebanese government rubber-stamped the Trump administration’s plan to disarm the civilian-military organization, which holds 15 seats in the Lebanese parliament. Returning to the MintCast to discuss the tense political situation in her native Lebanon is Ghadi Francis. Ghadi Francis is an author, journalist, and war correspondent who has covered the political situation across West Asia in great detail.

US Approves $230m For Lebanese Army, Security Forces

October 3, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , ,
The US government has approved $230 million for Lebanon’s security forces to bolster Washington’s push for the disarmament of Hezbollah, sources told Reuters on 3 October. “The funding includes $190 million for the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) and $40 million for the Internal Security Forces,” an informed Lebanese source said. “The funding will allow the Internal Security Forces to take over internal security in Lebanon so the LAF can focus on other critical missions,” the source added. “For a small country like Lebanon, that's really, really significant,” a US congressional aide said, adding that the funds were released “just before Washington's fiscal year ended on 30 September.”

State Of The Palestinian Resistance

May 26, 2025 Julia Kassem, Orinoco Tribune. , , , , , , , , , , , , ,
16 months of brutal genocide and siege have done all but break the Palestinian resistance, which has steadfastly – if not miraculously – fended off and broken the ruthless siege of the Zionist entity. As an official death toll stands at 61,700 – with much more accurate estimates tallying the martyrs at over 300,000, “Israel” has yet again turned to slaughtering civilians. The Palestinian resistance has recruited at least 30,000 new fighters in Gaza, according to conservative estimates earlier this year. Three-quarters of the Resistance’s tunnels remain and the ambushing and fighting both Al-Qassam and Saraya al-Quds continue against an occupation that has mostly withdrawn its ground occupying troops in Gaza while mulling over sending robots into Gaza.

Congress, Trump Administration Use Weapons And Threats To Continue Israel’s War

April 4, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , , , ,
US senators voted 82-15 and 83-15 on 3 April to reject two resolutions of disapproval regarding Washington's massive arms transfers and other military assistance to Israel. The resolutions were offered by Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont and received the support of only 15 out of 45 Democrats in the Senate. “The United States must end our complicity in these atrocities, we cannot be part of this any longer,” Sanders said in a video he released on Wednesday. Sanders has presented four resolutions since January 2024 to end or freeze US arms transfers to Israel, with none of them passing a vote on the Senate floor.

Lebanon: Victims Of Israeli Strikes Say They Won’t Bow To US Pressure

March 26, 2025 Sabah Haider, Mondoweiss. , , , ,
Since February 2025, the United States has intensified its efforts to facilitate normalization between Lebanon and Israel. U.S. Deputy Envoy to the Middle East Morgan Ortagus was reported to have delivered an ultimatum to Lebanese leaders, urging the quick formation of civilian committees for negotiations with Israel. Failure to comply could result in Washington withdrawing from the oversight committee, potentially granting Israel greater operational freedom in South Lebanon. This initiative builds upon previous U.S.-mediated agreements, including the 2022 maritime border deal and the 2024 ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah.
