Hezbollah's ceasefire spin: A master class in turning defeat into victory
The ink on the Lebanon-Israel ceasefire had barely dried when Hezbollah's leader Sheikh Naim Kassem took to the airwaves, not to welcome peace, but to claim triumph.
The IDF said on Tuesday that it had killed Qassem Saqlawi, the Commander of the Rocket and Missile Array in Hezbollah’s Coastal Sector.

The IDF said on Tuesday that it had killed Qassem Saqlawi, the Commander of the Rocket and Missile Array in Hezbollah’s Coastal Sector, in an aerial strike.
"Saqlawi was responsible for planning and executing numerous rocket attacks against the Israeli home front. As part of his role, he promoted and planned rocket and anti-tank launches toward the State of Israel from the coastal sector in Lebanon," the military said.

The Israeli army announced Saturday the establishment of a "yellow line" of demarcation in southern Lebanon, mirroring a similar boundary drawn in Gaza.
