I'm sorry this is happening to your country. Israel is stronger with US backing. They will do anything they want and get away with it. Russia is distracted with Ukraine. Erdowan plays games and does secret deals. Syria is in shambles. China doesn't project military power. Nobody is coming to save Lebanon. Israel will take the whole place. This ceasefire ruse was just step 1. "Hopium" is a drug that will kill you. Compute the likely odds and do the sane thing... probably I would move your family and relatives to another country if I were you, or if you are very patriotic I would join the military.

Israel has been fortifying their positions this whole time, with no intention to follow the ceasefire agreement, having violated it hundreds of times already. But this trade did stop the terrorist bombing, right? So you traded land for a modicum of peace. Terrible deal in the long run. But as I say, in the long run you lose anyways.

Hezbollah was your only fighting chance, despite what people think of their tactics or beliefs, and the new Lebanese government is now just a tool in the hands of Israel.

Again, I'm sorry. But don't expect things to go back to normal. Expect things to get much much worse. I expect all Lebanese people who stay to end up in the exact same position as the Palestinians, stateless (their state devastated) and rejected as Israeli citizens, but occupying their homeland which has now become part of Israel.
