A day earlier, Mr. Hochstein wrapped up <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/11\/20\/world\/middleeast\/lebanon-cease-fire-amos-hochstein.html\" title=\"\">two days of talks<\/a> with Lebanese officials and spoke of having made \u201cadditional progress\u201d in the quest to end Israel\u2019s yearlong conflict with the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Speaking to reporters in Beirut on Wednesday, Mr. Hochstein said he would go to Israel \u201cto try to bring this to a close if we can.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">After days of tense calm in the Lebanese capital, Israel issued new evacuation orders early on Thursday for the Dahiya, the densely packed area south of the city where Hezbollah holds sway. That was soon followed by airstrikes, which the Israeli military said had targeted the group\u2019s command headquarters and military infrastructure.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Israel\u2019s attacks in and around Beirut intensified in the run-up to Mr. Hochstein\u2019s visit to Lebanon, a strategy that analysts said was intended to pressure Hezbollah into agreeing to a cease-fire on terms favorable to Israel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">There still appear to be a number of sticking points that would need to be hashed out in any truce deal, including Israeli officials\u2019 demand that they be able to act militarily against Hezbollah if it were to break the terms of an agreement. That is likely to be viewed by Hezbollah and the Lebanese government as an infringement on the country\u2019s sovereignty.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In a televised address on Wednesday during Mr. Hochstein\u2019s visit to Beirut, Hezbollah\u2019s new leader, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/10\/29\/world\/middleeast\/hezbollah-new-leader-naim-qassem.html\" title=\"\">Naim<\/a> <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/10\/29\/world\/middleeast\/hezbollah-new-leader-naim-qassem.html\" title=\"\">Qassem<\/a>, said that the group had provided its response to the U.S. cease-fire proposal, and that peace now depended on Israel\u2019s response and the \u201cseriousness\u201d of Mr. Netanyahu.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">If negotiations broke down, he warned, Hezbollah was prepared for a \u201clong war.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Israel\u2019s conflict with Hezbollah, a group backed by Iran, escalated in September, and has killed more than 3,500 people in Lebanon and displaced almost a quarter of the population. It is now the bloodiest conflict inside Lebanon since the country\u2019s civil war, which lasted from 1975 to 1990.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Here is what else to know:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"css-1le37cb ez3869y0\">\n<li class=\"css-1i3ul0c eoqvrfo0\">\n<p class=\"css-1il0jfh evys1bk0\">Three Palestinian residents of Hebron, in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, were indicted in an Israeli military court this week on charges of plotting to assassinate the national security minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, and his son, according to a joint statement by the Israel Police and the Shin Bet security service. The authorities accused the primary defendant, Ismail Ibrahim Awadi, of monitoring Mr. Ben-Gvir\u2019s travel routes and methods and of contacting Hezbollah and Hamas militants with the aim of getting weapons.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"css-798hid etfikam0\">Adam Rasgon<!-- --> and <!-- -->Myra Noveck<!-- --> contributed reporting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/11\/21\/world\/middleeast\/israel-hezbollah-strikes-talks.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Israel resumed its bombing campaign on Thursday in the Hezbollah-controlled area south of Beirut, as a top U.S. envoy visited Israel to talk to officials there and try to nail &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=128522\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-128522","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-world","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128522","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=128522"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128522\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=128522"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=128522"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=128522"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
