Beirut: Hezbollah fired at least 185 rockets and other projectiles into Israel on Sunday, wounding seven people in the militant group's heaviest barrage in several days, in response to deadly Israeli strikes in Beirut while negotiators pressed on with cease-fire efforts to halt the all-out war. Meanwhile, an Israeli strike on a Lebanese army centre killed one soldier and wounded 18 others on the southwestern coastal road between Tyre and Naqoura, Lebanon's military said. Israel's military expressed regret and said the strike occurred in an area of combat against Hezbollah, adding that its operations are directed solely against the militants. The strike was under review. Israeli strikes have killed over 40 Lebanese troops since the start of the war between Israel and Hezbollah, even as Lebanon's military has largely kept to the sidelines. Lebanon's caretaker prime minister, Najib Mikati, condemned the latest strike as an assault on US-led cease-fire efforts, calling it a "direct, bloody message rejecting all efforts and ongoing contacts" to end the war. Hezbollah fires rockets after strikes on Beirut Hezbollah began firing rockets, missiles and drones into Israel after Hamas' October 7, 2023, attack out of the Gaza Strip ignited the war there. Hezbollah has portrayed the attacks as an act of solidarity with the Palestinians and Hamas. Iran supports both armed groups.

The Israeli military said some of the projectiles fired Sunday were intercepted. Israel's Magen David Adom rescue service said it treated seven people, including a 60-year old man in severe condition from rocket fire on northern Israel, a 23-year-old man who was lightly wounded by a blast in the central city of Petah Tikva and a 70-year-old woman who suffered smoke inhalation from a car that caught fire there. In Haifa, a rocket hit a residential building that police said was in danger of collapsing. It was unclear whether the injuries and damage were caused by rockets or interceptors. Israeli airstrikes without warning on Saturday pounded central Beirut, killing at least 20 people and wounding 66, according to Lebanon's Health Ministry. Smoke billowed above Beirut again Sunday with new strikes. Israeli attacks have killed more than 3,500 people in Lebanon, according to the Health Ministry. The fighting has displaced about 1.2 million people, or a quarter of Lebanon's population. On the Israeli side, about 90 soldiers and nearly 50 civilians have been killed by bombardments in northern Israel and in battle following Israel's ground invasion in early October. Around 60,000 Israelis have been displaced from the country's north. EU envoy calls for pressure to reach a truce The Biden administration has spent months trying to broker a cease-fire, and US envoy Amos Hochstein was in the region last week. The European Union's top diplomat called Sunday for more pressure on Israel and Hezbollah to reach a deal, saying one was "pending with a final agreement from the Israeli government". Josep Borrell spoke after meeting with Mikati and Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, a Hezbollah ally who has been mediating with the group. Borrell said the EU is ready to allocate 200 million euros (USD 208 million) to assist the Lebanese military, which would deploy additional forces to the south. The emerging agreement would pave the way for the withdrawal of Hezbollah militants and Israeli troops from southern Lebanon below the Litani River in accordance with the UN Security Council resolution that ended the month-long 2006 war. Lebanese troops would patrol the area, with the presence of UN peacekeepers. Lebanon's army reflects the religious diversity of the country and is respected as a national institution, but it does not have the military capability to impose its will on Hezbollah or resist Israel's invasion.

In a world beginning to more openly embrace the power of mental health awareness , coping strategies and tools for resilience and fight against the invisible disease of the mind, arguably no community needs it more than the Palestinian refugees packed into support sites in Lebanon. Azima, translating into ‘grit’ in Arabic, is a newly formed project teamed by expert, volunteer psychologists such as Nina Lyytinen, who form the action group the ‘Psychologists for Social Responsibility’ or the ‘PSV’. These peace psychologists strive for connecting communities to their wellbeing and ensuring the betterment of mental resilience and determination during testing times. Project to get underway at the start of January Lyytinen and her colleagues will travel regularly to Lebanon starting January 1st, offering specific training courses to local family centre workers and community hub managers, so that refugees can be able to benefit from better access to organised strategies and methods for managing stress during crises. This project has cost the finland ministry of foreign affairs over half a million euros, with great promise already shown by the volunteers.

She feels 2025 will be a catalytic year in the process: “Palestinians have faced decades of challenges, but the need for psychological expertise is more critical now than ever. It is an honour to bring Finnish know-how to those who need it most”. The internal struggle as external drama continues to erupt As the endless volatility and unpredictable chaos ensues across Palestine, Israel and parts of the Middle East , troubled members of precious communities are in conflict with their own minds. Stress, uncertainty and panic flood the subconscious of many innocent people, men, women and children as they aim to make do with their new living environment in Lebanon, a world away from their normal lives. This trauma cuts deep, and it is imperative refugees are justly equipped with rightful tools to be able to work through the pain. We must strive to make a difference where we can Anu Castaneda, a psychology scholar and renowned expert in the social science realm in Finland, stressed that an urgency of action is key: “The situation for Palestinians is so dire that the world cannot just look away. Everyone can contribute to making a difference”. In this world of interconnectivity, we must ensure we are consuming the right information, but also spreading positive messages, helping communities such as the refugees of Lebanon get the support they need.
