David Daoud and Bill Roggio report the IDF recently shot down an unarmed Hezbollah drone gathering intelligence over strategic ridges in southern Lebanon. Daoud highlights that Hezbollah continues to operate freely despite the presence of the Lebanese Armed Forces in pilot zones. The segment questions why Western leaders trust the Lebanesegovernment, given its failure to demand nationwide disarmament and its history of coordinating with Hezbollah to hide military infrastructure from international monitors. (7)

Malcolm Hoenlein and Thaddeus Marta. An experiment with "pilot zones" in southern Lebanon involves Israeli troop withdrawals and replacement by the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) to dismantle Hezbollah infrastructure. In Washington, 103 Democrats signed a resolution to deny aid to Israel, a move Hoenlein attributes to political intimidation rather than violations of law. Furthermore, a reported detention of Ro Khanna in a military zone was characterized as a "concocted" confrontation. (6)1968

David Daoud. Israel has begun a phased withdrawal from southern Lebanon, testing whether the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) can effectively disarm Hezbollah in "pilot zones." David Daoud expresses skepticism, noting Lebanon is already attempting to backtrack on its legal commitments and reverse agreed-upon sequences. Success depends on whether the U.S. will hold Lebanon's feet to the fire or permit Israel to retake territory if the LAF fails. (16)2012

In this episode of the Journey of Hope Podcast, host Elio Constantine sits down with Heart for Lebanon President Camille Melki to discuss an exciting new chapter in the ministry's mission: the launch of a new H.O.P.E. Ministry Center in southern Lebanon. In the midst of war, economic collapse, and ongoing humanitarian crisis, God is opening the door for a permanent ministry presence that will serve thousands of vulnerable families with both practical care and the hope of the Gospel.Camille shares why southern Lebanon has remained central to Heart for Lebanon's ministry since its founding in 2006 and how the recent conflict has created unprecedented opportunities to reach people searching for hope. As families continue to experience displacement, loss, and uncertainty, the ministry has witnessed a growing openness to the message of Jesus Christ through compassionate humanitarian aid, Bible studies, discipleship, and worship gatherings.Listeners will gain insight into the strategic location of the future ministry center in Ghazieh, situated to serve Sunni, Shia, and Christian communities alike. Camille explains how this center will become a place for worship, discipleship, children's education, youth ministry, women's ministry, medical care, and humanitarian assistance—all while creating opportunities to introduce families to the transforming hope found in Christ.The conversation also explores the practical realities of launching a major capital project in a post-war environment, including securing permits, finalizing construction plans, and trusting God to provide the resources, workers, and protection needed for the years ahead. Camille invites listeners to join the ministry in prayer as they prepare to begin construction on what will become a lasting testimony of God's faithfulness in one of Lebanon's most strategic regions.Show NotesWhy Southern Lebanon?Heart for Lebanon's ministry began in southern Lebanon in 2006 during the Hezbollah-Israel war.The region remains one of the most strategically important areas for Gospel ministry.Years of conflict have created deep physical and spiritual needs.Families are increasingly searching for hope and truth.God continues to open doors for ministry despite difficult circumstances.The Vision for the New H.O.P.E.

Did Trump Betray Israel? Or Is Something Bigger Happening Behind the Scenes? This week, the Trump administration finalized a ceasefire agreement with Iran that has sent shockwaves throughout Israel and the Middle East. Reports indicate the deal was reached without consulting Israel and includes demands that Israel withdraw from Southern Lebanon and halt operations against Hezbollah. Meanwhile, both President Trump and Vice President JD Vance have publicly criticized the Israeli government, raising serious questions about the future of the U.S.-Israel relationship. Is this a historic realignment of American foreign policy? A temporary political dispute? Or does it signal a deeper strategic shift that could reshape the Middle East for years to come? On today's episode, Ari, Jeremy, Luke, and Joshua break down the ceasefire, the reactions inside Israel, the growing divide between American political leaders and the Israeli government, and what it all means for the future of the region. We also discuss:

President Trump insists to his critics that Iran "surrendered" despite much evidence to the contrary. He took to social media this morning to push back on the widespread and very bipartisan criticism of the MOU. Regardless, it didn't take long for the first round of talks between the US and Iran to be derailed. Vice President Vance was scheduled to be in Switzerland right now, meeting with Iranian negotiators. But that trip was canceled late last night after intense fighting between Israel and Hezbollah in Southern Lebanon. This morning, a new ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah may push those talks back on track.    Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports Israeli military strikes in southern Lebanon as US-Iran talks postponed.

This week the Trump administration has formalized a ceasefire with Iran. This deal was done without consulting Israel, and with the stipulation that Israel withdraw from Southern Lebanon and cease operations against Hezbollah. To add insult to injury, both Trump and JD Vance have been making statements castigating the Israeli government. Is this a betrayal of Israel by the American government? Or is there something deeper going on.  Ari, Jeremy, Luke, and Joshua break it down for you on today's podcast.  Purchase you I Am Israel dvd here: https://israelguys.link/dvd-86e4yp Prophets Daily - https://thelandofisrael.com/prophets-of-israel/ Sign up for The Israel Guys Show Notes: https://israelguys.link/subscribe-86e4j4  Follow The Israel Guys on X: https://x.com/theisraelguys Join our Telegram channel: https://t.me/theisraelguys #israel #Israelnews #trump #Iran #Ceasefire #Irandeal

Darrell Castle discusses President Trump’s angry, profanity laced tirade directed at Prime Minister Netanyahu of Israel. Did it really happen and if so why did it happen and if it did not happen, why say that it did. Transcriptions / Notes TRUMP UNLOADS ON NETANYAHU Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 5th day of June in the year of our Lord 2026. My beat today is war and as usual there is no shortage of war to talk about but today I discuss President Trump's angry, profanity laced tirade directed at Prime Minister Netanyahu of Israel. Did it really happen and if so why did it happen and if it did not happen then why say that it did. Its no secret that Trump wants the U.S. role in the war against Iran ended and quickly. The war has placed the world's economy in jeopardy and therefore its end is imperative. To that end Trump has been negotiating with somebody representing Iran while using Pakistan as the broker. Every time it looks positive and Trump announces that fighting has stopped it turns out to be a little premature. Trump says we have a deal ending the war and fighting has ceased. In response gas prices in the U.S. come down and the stock market soars. The next step is for Israel to continue attacking in Lebanon as if there were no peace talks. Apparently Trump got tired of it this week and placed a call to the Prime Minister. The story, reported at first by people physically present for the call, and later admitted by the President himself went something like this. Trump called Netanyahu F-ing crazy and accused him of ingratitude. “You'd be in prison if it weren't for me. I'm saving you're a**. Everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel because of this.” In the meantime, whether Netanyahu got the message or not Israel continued its war in Lebanon as if nothing had happened. According to Lebanese news agency NNA, the Israeli attacks continued and Hezbollah continued attacks against Israeli forces inside Lebanon. Lebanon's Embassy in Washington said Hezbollah would refrain from further attacks if Israel would show the same restraint but Israel does not seem interested. Israel announced that the fighting would continue but it would not strike Beirut while talks were ongoing. Israeli and Lebanese Ambassadors are in talks at the State Department in Washington. That makes me wonder if the Lebanese government has the authority to negotiate for Hezbollah. I guess one answer to that question is that Hezbollah is the Lebanese government. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said that President Trump backed the strikes in Southern Lebanon. It's all very conflicting and confusing but there is one other possibility. There is a possibility that the phone call never took place at all or if it did then the whole thing was a stage show between Trump and Netanyahu staged for our benefit. Why would the President stage a profanity laced conversation he had with a foreign leader. To me the better question is why would he allow that conversation to be publicly leaked and then why would he admit that he said those things. I suppose the answer lies in his response to criticism he has been getting from the media and from people in his own party about how he does the bidding of Netanyahu and that he says America First but in practice its Israel First. I don't know what is true here but if it were all fake it would be to bolster his image of a strong leader who doesn't tolerate disrespect from allies. I don't know which version is true but it is very suspicious that the administration made such a big deal out of what should have been a private conversation. Israel, through its defense minister, has said that it would be remaining permanently in Southern Lebanon so why does this tiny country of 9 million seem so aggressive and so intent on expansion. For one thing its tiny size relative to its neighbors makes it very vulnerable. At its widest point it is only 71 miles wide and at its narrowest point it is only 9 miles wide. In other words, defense in depth is virtually impossible because it has no avenue of retreat to fall back and regroup as any retreat would put enemy forces right in Israeli cities. Therefore, it must attack constantly to push back its enemies who state clearly that they seek its destruction. Looking at Israel from the Israeli position they probably see their status as expand or die. Since defense in depth is essential and determines if a country has enough space to recover from an initial attack Israel believes it must constantly seek to push out its borders because a defeat on its borders leaves it extremely vulnerable. Now, with the new form of unmanned warfare coming to light with drones and missiles one of Israel's chief advantages is taken away or diminished. That advantage is pilot courage and training which thanks to the U.S. is some of the best in the world along with top-of-the-line aircraft it all serves to make Israel a foe to be reckoned with. Drones and missiles are rapidly changing the dynamics of war and Israel and the U.S. are apparently late to the game and a little behind in how best to defend against them. Israel's tactic seems to be to attack with as much force and with tactics as ruthless as necessary to push the enemy back as far as possible. I admit this is guesswork, but to much of the world the Israeli tactics is genocide but to Israel they just don't care because for them it is survival. Israel, it seems to me, could be controlled enough for the U.S. to make peace because it lives in a very bad neighborhood and without the U.S. Israel could not exist as a sovereign nation. It is a little unrealistic to think Israel, with its 9 million population would never face a superior force or coalition of forces. Therefore, Trump's phone call, if it did happen and was not a preplanned exhibit was probably necessary although the crass profanity which is so very common now could have been tempered. That type of profanity is so common it no longer has any meaning except that its user has no appropriate vocabulary. It reminds me of a different time when Harry Truman reportedly used the word Damn in the presence of Madame Chiang Kai- Shek the widow of Chaing who had been ruler of China until he was overthrown in the Maoist revolution. Madame Chaing resented it and complained and it was a front-page scandal. A few Presidents have apparently resisted Israeli pressure to attack Iran. If the testimony of Obama's Secretary of State is accurate then he is one who did and George Bush would not do it either but lots of Israeli money poured into the campaign of one who would and did do it. Often, national leaders opt for whatever they think necessary for staying in power rather than what they truly believe to be in the national interest. The smaller the group they actually have to please and make happy the better or at least that makes it easier. If staying in power and the national interest happens to coincide well that's just great, but in my opinion they rarely do. Finally, folks, there are reasons for why people do things but quite often we don't know what the real reasons are. In Truman's day we were different and perhaps a little naïve about leaders and maybe we still are. At least that's the way I see it, Until next time folks, This is Darrell Castle, Thanks for listening.

AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports Israel's air force has struck different parts of southern Lebanon, killing at least six people, as the military issued evacuation warnings for nine villages.

AP correspondent Karen Chammas reports on the latest ceasefire talks as Israel kills 4 people in Southern Lebanon on Thursday including a UN peacekeeper.

While the world, and President Trump, continue talking about a "ceasefire" in Lebanon, Hezbollah continues proving over and over again that there never really was one.This past Shabbat, Hezbollah launched approximately 30 rockets and multiple explosive drones at northern Israel. Rockets struck near Kiryat Shmona, drones targeted communities across the Western Galilee, and sirens sent Israelis running for shelter throughout Safed, Karmiel, Meron, Metula, and surrounding areas. And rockets have continued all week. At the same time, Hezbollah continues using advanced optical drones to target and kill Israeli soldiers.In response, the IDF expanded its operations, crossing the Litani River, capturing strategic terrain near the Beaufort Ridge, and pushing deeper into Hezbollah strongholds across Southern Lebanon. But the question remains: Is Israel pursuing victory, or simply managing the conflict once again?In this video, Avi Abelow explains why ceasefires with jihadi terror organizations repeatedly fail, why Hezbollah remains the true ruler of Lebanon, and why many Israelis believe that only permanent Israeli sovereignty and security control in southern Lebanon can guarantee long-term safety for the people of Israel.We discuss:Hezbollah's latest attacks on northern IsraelWhy the Lebanon ceasefires have failedThe strategic importance of the Litani RiverThe future of southern LebanonWhy "conflict management" has repeatedly failed IsraelThe connection between sovereignty, deterrence, and securityThe biblical and historical significance of Israel's northern bordersFor decades, Israel has responded to attacks with temporary military operations, ceasefires, and withdrawals. The results speak for themselves. Hezbollah has grown stronger, more heavily armed, and more dangerous.It is finally time for a different approach.Watch, share, and let us know your thoughts in the comments.Am Yisrael Chai!Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

An interview with independent reporter Courtney Bonneau about the war in Southern Lebanon, and the death of her friend and colleague Amal Khalil.

The IDF just made a surprise dash across the Litany river catching Hezbollah completely off guard. This operation was strategically very important, not just in silencing the new, very deadly Hezbollah attacks on Israel by fiber optic FPV drones, but also for the coming negotiations in Washington. The repercussions of this are much broader than you might think.    Also, Hamas has been smuggling massive amounts of military equipment over the border into Gaza, from Egypt. It's looking like they are not nearly as defeated or subdued as the public have been made to believe. Ben Hilton breaks it down for you.  Join us for a Heartland Experience trip: https://israelguys.link/israel-trip-86exhtnj4  Sign up for The Israel Guys Show Notes: https://theisraelguys.com/subscribe/ Follow The Israel Guys on X: https://x.com/theisraelguys Join our Telegram channel: https://t.me/theisraelguys Source Links: Hamas rearming in Gaza https://www.jns.org/analysis/from-air-and-sea-hamas-is-rebuilding Israel's lack of interest in Ukrainian drone-defense experience https://www.timesofisrael.com/ukraines-envoy-laments-israels-lack-of-interest-in-kyiv-drone-expertise/ Lebanon situation - diplomacy - ceasefire - death toll etc. https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/article-895807 IDF Operation beyond Litani - videos and photos https://jewishbreakingnews.com/idf-wipes-out-100-hezbollah-targets-in-blitz-across-litani-region/ More on the IDF Operation beyond Litani https://www.i24news.tv/en/news/israel/defense/artc-idf-crosses-litani-river-and-reaches-one-of-deepest-points-in-southern-lebanon https://www.timesofisrael.com/idf-says-it-carried-out-weeklong-raid-on-hezbollah-sites-beyond-lebanons-litani-river/ https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/426947 Hezbollah returning to guerrilla warfare https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/article-895749 Hezbollah and their political goals in Lebanon https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/article-895968 #Israelnews #Hezbollah #Iranwar #Trump #Bibi  #Ceasefire #Trump #Hamas   

What began, officially, as a mission to attack Hezbollah leadership and military strongholds is now indisputably much larger and, by all indications, more imperial. Israel is applying what it terms a “Gaza model” to the region south of Lebanon's Litani River–meaning the leveling of buildings and destruction of civilian infrastructure. Its finance minister explicitly revealed plans to annex the territory, decreeing that “The Litani must become [Israel's] new border with the state of Lebanon.” The codename of the operation–Eternal Darkness–does not suggest that this is going to end any time soon. On today's PREVAIL podcast, Greg Olear speaks with the Middle East-based photojournalist Courtney Bonneau, who has been reporting live from the war zone of southern Lebanon, about the devastation she's seeing on the ground.
