Kelley Flanagan ’s ex may have been in it for the wrong reasons. The Bachelor Nation member—who dated former Bachelor Peter Weber after his split from season 24 winner Hannah Ann Sluss —revealed she broke up with her most recent boyfriend after discovering he had allegedly been cheating on her with multiple women. “I was just so manipulated in my head, that I was like, ‘No, he’s not that person,’” Kelley shared during the Nov. 27 episode of the Chicks In the Office podcast. “At the end of the day, having it all come out, I just feel so stupid.” The attorney—who only referred to her ex as “A”—shared that the relationship moved “really fast,” sharing that she moved from Miami to Philadelphia to live him. Although they initially split in April, she said “A” convinced her to reconcile roughly a month later, though his insistence on not even talking to people of the opposite sex made her suspicious. “He was so strict on our relationship,” she said, “that he was like, ‘It’s pointless to talk to other girls. Like, I go out and I don’t speak to another female.’ And to be honest, I thought it was a little weird ‘cause I was like, ‘I have guy friends, there’s nothing wrong with that.’” Kelley, 32, said her suspicions were heightened by a series of subsequent events, including an anonymous message she received accusing “A” of cheating on her. “There would be things that weren’t adding up to me,” she tearfully recalled. “Whether he wasn’t responding to me, he’s not texting me at night, or just random girls following him. I would ask him about it, and he would make me feel like it was my followers that were following him.” Shortly thereafter, Kelley said she connected with one of her boyfriend’s exes, who claimed that he was “handsy” with her over the summer and that he presented himself as being single at the time. From there, Kelley did a “deep dive” to see if “A” had been speaking to other women as well. “It’s almost like every corner I looked to, things were coming out,” Kelley said. “I look back on it and I can’t even remember the good times, because I think it was all just fake. I don’t know how else to feel, but this has never happened to me to this extent. I think that’s why I’m like, ‘Holy s--t, this goes deep.’” Kelley previously addressed the split in a Nov. 14 post on her Instagram Stories, sharing that she had been “highly disrespected” in the final months of her relationship. “If it wasn’t for all of you (my followers) and girls being girls’ girls, I would have stayed in the dark and never known,” she wrote. “My heart is shattered but I’m so grateful to have you all.” Prior to her relationship with “A,” Kelley dated Peter from April 2020 to January 2021, with Peter saying the relationship “simply didn’t work out.” The pair gave their romance another shot in August 2022 before calling it quits again in April 2023.

Jenn Tran & Devin Strader Status: Split During the season 21 finale of The Bachelorette , it looked like The Bachelor alum Jenn Tran was finally getting her happy ending with her final pick Devin Strader . But Jenn, 26, revealed on After the Final Rose back in September that Devin, 28, gave her the cold shoulder as soon as the cameras stopped rolling. "He was making bold proclamations of love and then suddenly the next day he was like, nothing and he denied ever being in love," Jenn told host Jesse Palmer during the Sept. 3 episode. "All the promises he had made to me, all of the love that he had wanted to give to me wasn't there anymore." Drama continued to play out when Devin shared a 13-minute video recounting his side of the story to Instagram, where in addition to taking "accountability” he shared insight into why he ended the relationship in a 15-minute phone call. While Jenn alleged he dumped her during the call in August, he claimed that Jenn demanded to know what was wrong as he tried to find a way to break the news in person. "I didn't really know what else to do," he explained, noting he had been waiting to tell her in person. "She kind of forced my hand." Since then, Jenn waltzed over to Dancing With the Stars and possibly into the heart of her partner Sasha Farber as they have continued to spark romance rumors since their Oct. 29 elimination. Victoria Fuller & Greg Grippo Status: Split In November 2022, Greg Grippo (one of Katie Thurston 's suitors on The Bachelorette a year prior) joined Victoria Fuller on the season eight finale of Bachelor in Paradise . There, the two announced that they were in a relationship. In April 2024, he revealed the two had called it quits . Status: Split Before Victoria Fuller and Greg Grippo went public with their romance on the finale of Bachelor in Paradise 's eighth season, she and her costar Johnny DePhillipo ended their engagement. Theresa Nist & Gerry Turner Status: Divorced Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist got engaged in November 2023 during the finale of the inaugural Golden Bachelor and tied the knot in a January 2024 televised ceremony. However, three months after their nuptials, the couple announced that they were breaking up. “Theresa and I have had a number of heart-to-heart conversations and we've looked closely at our situation, our living situation, so forth," Gerry said during a joint appearance on Good Morning America with Theresa April 2024. “We've come to the conclusion mutually that it's probably time for us to dissolve our marriage." They reached a divorce settlement in June 2024, according to court records reviewed by E! News. Joey Graziadei & Kelsey Anderson Status: Engaged After courting 32 potential brides , tennis pro Joey Graziadei found his perfect match in project manager Kelsey Anderson . "I can't wait another minute to tell you that I love you," Joey told his final rose recipient, before getting down on one knee during his season's March 2024 finale . "There is something about you. You have this infectious energy that makes me smile. It's a feeling I've never had before." Imagining his forever with the Louisiana native, he continued, "I have known for a while that I've wanted to have a beautiful life, but I truly didn't know how beautiful that life could be until I met you." Kat Izzo & John Henry Spurlock Status: Split Though underwater welder John Henry Spurlock (one of Charity Lawson 's suitors) and nurse Kat Izzo (she competed for Zach Shallcross ' heart) didn't connect until midway through season nine of Bachelor in Paradise , they were willing to dive into the deep end. "I'm going to try something a little different," he said while offering up an Ascher cut Neil Lane diamond. "I'm following my heart today. My heart's telling me that you are amazing, you are everything that I'm looking for." But days after the finale aired, the duo revealed they no longer saw forever in each other's eyes. "While our paths are taking different directions due to our career goals not aligning," they wrote in a joint Instagram post, "we are grateful for the love and support we’ve received from our family, friends, and Bachelor Nation." Eliza Isichei & Aaron Bryant Status: Split Despite her nerves about a Paradise engagement, an all-dressed-in-white Eliza Isichei (one of Clayton Echard 's exes) happily accepted Aaron Bryant 's oceanfront proposal. Touched by the software salesman's decision to reach out to her mom for her blessing, she gushed, "I knew I was not in control of what was going to come out of my mouth." The finale's coda acknowledged Charity's ex and marketing manager Eliza had hit some bumps after returning from Mexico, and days later they announced they had officially ended their engagement. "Tricky emotions watching it all unfold," he wrote on Instagram December 2023. "We’re leading our amicable split with nothing but positivity and mutual respect for one another." Aven Jones & Kylee Russell Status: Split Though postpartum nurse Kylee Russell lamented boyfriend Aven Jones ' unwillingness to get down on bended knee—a move he was purportedly prepared to make while romancing Bachelorette Rachel Recchia —she ultimately accepted Aven's Paradise proposal to "get out of here and make it work." Though that meant her planned engagement gown remained packed, "I just had to do what I felt was right," she said. "Love is all about taking risk." Two days after their December 2023 finale aired, she announced on her Instagram Stories that their relationship had "dissolved due to multiple infidelities." Aven later issued an apology to Kylee, writing, "I have made major mistakes in the relationship and hurt someone who was very close to me." Charity Lawson & Dotun Olubeko Status: Engaged "I am happy with how this season turns out!" Charity Lawson teased to E! News, a statement that way undersold her August 2023 finale. Dropping to one knee, integrative medicine specialist Dotun Olubeko proclaimed their love to be "perfect," asking the child and family therapist, "Would you do me the honor of turning this fairytale into a reality?" While their happily ever after awaits—the pair said they're considering a 2025 or 2026 wedding—the Georgia native will first take a spin through the Dancing With the Stars ballroom. "All right, baby," Dotun told Charity on The Bachelorette: After the Final Rose . "So I know you like to cut up, you like to dance and you like to get down. You know that we've talked about this—about how amazing this opportunity would be. And I am so happy to be the one to tell you that you're gonna be on Dancing With the Stars ! Baby, let's go!" Zach Shallcross & Kaity Biggar Status: Engaged Zach shall get his happy ending. Despite more than a few Fantasy Suite-related stumbles, Zach Shallcross ended season 27 in March 2023 down on one knee . "I am so in love with you," he told travel nurse Kaity Biggar . "You are my world. The love I feel for you is something I could have never imagined." In July 2023, the Texas-based duo made an even bigger step in their journey, with Kaity sharing on Instagram , "Officially roommates." They're currently planning their October 2025 vows. Status: Split Ah, Mom and Dad. Though they left BIP season seven hand-in-Neil-Lane-diamond-free-hand, Danielle Maltby , who lost her fiancé to a drug overdose years before she competed on Nick Viall 's season, and single dad Michael Allio (he shares 7-year-old son James with his late wife) seemed slated for Bachelor Nation couple goals status. But a year after Maltby relocated from Nashville to be with Allio in Ohio, he confirmed they'd split. "We both threw a lot into this relationship and it's really awful when it doesn't work out," Allio said on a September 2023 episode of Jason Tartick 's Trading Secrets podcast . "When things don't work out, when you realize that love is there, but you're not necessarily compatible, you mourn the loss, not of just that person and that friend in your life, but also the future that you had envisioned." Status: Split "I will love you until the end of time. I will love you until my last breath and I want to start forever with you," Brandon Jones proclaimed while proposing to "best friend" Serene Russell on season seven of Paradise . Alas, their journey was cut short. Five months after their engagement aired, Brandon (a runner-up on Michelle Young 's season) and Serene (who romanced Clayton Echard ) announced they had split in a joint May 2023 statement. "We have tried to work privately on our relationship which has been incredibly challenging in the public eye," they wrote on Instagram. "This has been immensely hard to accept and painful, as there is a lot of love between the two of us. We are deeply hurting and can only ask that there be no hate." Status: Split Pilot Rachel's engagement to general contractor Tino Franco stalled when he kissed another woman while their 2022 season was still airing. "I do not stand by what I did at all," he said on The Viall Files . "It was not cool. It wasn't fair to Rachel, and it haunts me daily still. It's something I'm ashamed of and certainly wish I could have done it differently like a million times over." Status: Split Well, it was certainly a journey. Susie Evans initially rejected Bachelor Clayton Echard 's overtures during the 2022 finale only to reunite with him off-camera...and then split once again six months later . But the L.A.-based videographer insists their breakup was for the right reasons . "The people around me could see that my sparkle had dulled and I was far from thriving," she wrote in a November 2022 post for her blog "Susie Was Like." She acknowledged they "had joyous moments often, but deep down I was struggling and felt misaligned with the best version of me." Susie went on to date Bachelor Nation member Justin Glaze , before the couple announced they had also broken up in August 2024. Status: Split Minnesota elementary school teacher Michelle accepted a Neil Lane sparkler from Texas-based sales exec Nayte Olukoya —and a $200,000 check from producers to put toward their future home. But, ultimately, the pair just didn't have the right foundation, announcing their breakup six months after their season's finale aired in December 2021. Though he said on The Viall Files , "There was lots of ups and downs, lots of arguments, lots of fights and just not really clicking, not really seeing eye-to-eye," Nayte acknowledged that not having that final split conversation in person was "a dick move." Status: Split Viewers fully got onboard with Maurissa Gunn and Riley Christian 's vision of a future filled with sweet Sunday mornings. But ultimately the BIP season seven duo only got a couple dozen weekends together. "We have decided to go our separate ways," patient coordinator Maurissa (who romanced Peter Weber ) and attorney Riley (one of Tayshia Adams ' suitors) announced in a joint January 2022 statement. "Never did we imagine this, but we've come to a point where we both need to work on ourselves." Demi Burnett & Kristian Haggerty Status: Split Bachelor Nation's first same-sex couple got engaged on season six of Bachelor in Paradise but announced their 2019 split on Halloween. "What has always been at the forefront of our relationship is love and care for one another. Our priority is doing what is best for us. With a heavy heart full of love for one another we have decided it is best for us to take a step back from our relationship," they said in a joint statement posted on Instagram. "We ultimately want what is best for us in the long run and for us right now, that means being apart and growing individually." Noah Erb & Abigail Heringer Status: Engaged Paradise lost? Not quite. Though Noah Erb and Abigail Heringer broke up in Mexico during the BIP 's seventh season, they realized they could see forever in each other's eyes. Initially settling in San Diego, the travel nurse (who competed for Tayshia's heart) and the financial manager (who received Matt James ' first impression rose) recently purchased a place in his hometown of Tulsa. "About to enter our Chip and Joanna Gaines era because your girl bought her very first house!!!" Abigail wrote on Instagram in July 2023. "Excited to start our next chapter and for all the memories we'll create here!!" Starting with a few wedding plans. Ahead of their move, Noah proposed at a beachfront San Diego home in August 2023. Status: Married Never hurts to have a little practice run. While planning their September 2023 vows, Serena Pitt (a finalist on Matt James' season) and Joe Amabile (the Chicago grocery store owner who found fame after Becca Kufrin sent him home night one in 2018) decided to just do the damn thing at City Hall near their New York City digs, roughly one year after leaving Paradise engaged. "JUST MARRIED !!" Serena, now hosting the Bachelor Happy Hour podcast with her husband, captioned the October 2022 video. "We are still having a wedding this September but who doesn't want to get married twice!" Kenny Braasch & Mari Pepin Status: Married "Mari, I am f--king so in love with you," boy band manager Kenny Braasch said as he slipped that Neil Lane diamond onto Mari Pepin 's finger on the 2021 Paradise finale. "And I literally, like, I can't see my life without you." So the Maryland beauty queen, who initially charmed Bachelor Matt, moved to Kenny's native Chicago and set about planning their forever. And before she and Kenny (eliminated by Tayshia Adams in week five) wed in a 65-guest oceanfront ceremony in Puerto Rico in November 2023, they made their love permanent, getting inked with matching tattoos during a May 2023 trip to the Bahamas. Status: Married Former Bachelorette Becca and Thomas Jacobs (one of Katie Thurston's suitors) got together on Bachelor in Paradise season seven in 2021, broke up on the show, then reconciled after production wrapped. In May 2022, they announced they were engaged, and that Becca proposed. "I hope that other people can now feel empowered and say it's okay to bend the rules," she told E! News . The real estate agent returned the favor that October. In September 2023, the two welcomed their first child , son Benson. Wrote Becca on Instagram , "No amount of words can begin to capture the amount of love and awe we have over this tiny man." Though she's awfully fond of her 6-foot-6 guy as well. Weeks after bringing home Benson, the pair wed in a spontaneous Oct. 13 ceremony. Status: Split On The Bachelorette 's season 17 finale in 2021, Katie got engaged to Blake Moynes . The pair first declared their love for one another during their overnight date, which involved a paintball excursion, a cowboy tub and a conversation under the stars. Getting down on one knee, Blake told Katie, "You deserve the world, and I'm excited to support you and be there for you every day moving forward." Three months after the proposal aired, the couple announced their split . They explained in matching statements, "We are so grateful for the moments we shared together and the entire journey that has unfolded this year, but we ultimately have concluded that we are not compatible as life partners, and it is the most caring choice for both of us to move forward independently." She is now engaged to comedian Jeff Arcuri . Rachael Kirkconnell & Matt James Status: Dating In the years since Matt and graphic designer Rachael Kirkconnell left his 2021 season together (then briefly split and eventually reunited), they've faced many a breakup rumor. But, yes , they're still sweet on each other. "I think everybody needs to take a break from social media," he exclusively told E! News at a July 18 Baskin-Robbins event. "Our lives are lived so much in front of our phones that when anybody steps out of being on their phone 24/7, people think it's the end of the world." Marriage remains the end-game for the L.A.-based pair. "I think the good thing about our relationship is we go at our own pace," the First Impressions: Off Screen Conversations With a Bachelor on Race, Family, and Forgiveness author told E! News in 2022 . "And you've seen with other couples—they force the engagement and they're not together anymore. So, I think what we got is a working recipe and we're gonna get there." Status: Split After stepping in to complete Clare Crawley 's 2020 season of The Bachelorette , Tayshia met and fell in love with Zac Clark . Though they left her season engaged, the former Bachelorette lead-turned-co-host later revealed that their relationship had some ups and downs. "It's hard to be in a new relationship and then kind of go away for a couple of weeks, you know what I mean? And this is me being real and honest," she said on The Ben and Ashley I. Almost Famous podcast in August 2021. She continued, "I think after that, it was kinda like we need to remember why we were with each other. And I think that that's absolutely normal." In November 2021, E! News confirmed the two had gone their separate ways. Status: Split Clare fell head over heels for Dale Moss during season 16 of The Bachelorette . In fact, the two were engaged by the fourth episode . The surprises didn't stop there as, weeks after Clare's replacement Tayshia nabbed an engagement of her own , Dale took to social media and revealed his love story with the hair dresser was already over. The pair sparked reconciliation rumors a month later when they were spotted together. Fast forward to July 2021, after several reunions, and Clare and Dale were fully back together —ring and all. But that September, the two called it quits again. Clare is now happily married to Ryan Dawkins and they're expecting their first daughter together . Status: Split After his brief engagement to winner Hannah Ann Sluss and then subsequent split from runner-up Madison Prewett , fans were hopeful that the third time would be the charm for Peter. Alas, his romance with The Bachelor season 24 standout Kelley Flanagan wasn't meant to be, the pilot sharing on New Year's Eve 2020 that their nine-month relationship was grounded . "While our relationship was filled with countless beautiful memories, our relationship simply didn't work out in the end," Pete posted to Instagram. "Kelley is someone I will always have a special love for." The pair attempted to take flight once more in 2022, before revealing this past May that their romance had reached its final destination . Status: Split Following the dramatic 2020 finale , the couple announced on Instagram that they'd no longer be pursuing a relationship . "Madi and I have mutually decided not to pursue our relationship any further," Peter wrote. "Believe me this was not easy for either of us to be ok with, but after a lot of honest conversations, we have agreed that this is what makes most sense for the two of us. The love and respect I have for Madi will continue to endure." Madi added in her statement, "I will always love and respect him. I am convinced our paths were meant to cross and we are both better because they did." Status: Split Peter and Hannah Ann were briefly engaged during season 24 of The Bachelor . Sadly, during part two of the finale, it was revealed that the couple was struggling a month into their exclusive relationship. Specifically, Hannah Ann was blindsided over Peter's lingering feelings for Madison. "All I've ever asked for, is for someone to give me their whole heart like I'm giving mine to them. And you took away my first engagement," she expressed before giving back her ring . "You took that away from me. 'Cause I trusted you, and that's what you have continued to ask me to do. 'Be patient with me. Have faith in me.'" Status: Married They've come a long way since their #vanlife days. Though Dean Unglert (one of Bachelorette Rachel Lindsay 's finalists) and Caelynn Miller-Keyes , who romanced Colton Underwood , split during season six of Paradise in 2019, they've been cruising together ever since. Engaged in 2022 , the former beauty queen wed her Help! We Suck at Being Newlyweds podcat cohost at a camp-themed affair in the Colorado mountains Sept. 23. "I just love him so much," Caelynn gushed to E! News ahead of the vows. "I'm just so excited to be marrying someone who's such a good person, who makes me laugh every single day even if I'm upset. I think our life together is gonna be really fun." Status: Married Dylan Barbour and his BIP season six love Hannah Godwin were basically knockin' on heaven's door when they tied the knot in a multi-day French affair. "The wedding was absolutely magical," Hannah exclusively told E! News. "I married my best friend surrounded by our closest family and friends and it meant everything to us. It was a dream come true." Mostly, the content creator (who fell for Bachelor Colton Underwood before turning up in Mexico in 2019) is excited to officially call the tech entrepreneur (from Hannah Brown 's season) her husband. "We obviously are in it for the long haul," she said of building a life in San Diego together. "Our families are super involved and close. A lot of it does feel like we have that marriage type of relationship. Obviously, we want to make memories and seal the deal and everything, but it is one of those things where I feel like we are married in a sense."

While Cleveland heads into Sunday's home matchup with the reigning NBA champion Boston Celtics sporting the league's best record, the Cavaliers also come in trying to avoid a three-game losing streak. Cleveland had its 15-game winning streak to open the season interrupted in its last meeting with Boston, a 120-117 win for the host Celtics on Nov. 19. The Cavaliers recovered with a pair of wins over Toronto and New Orleans, but fell in meetings with the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday and Friday. A 20-point, 22-assist game from Trae Young on Wednesday powered Atlanta to 135 points, the most Cleveland has allowed this season. The Hawks followed the 11-point win in Cleveland with a 16-point rout of the Cavaliers on Friday in Atlanta. The consecutive losses dropped Cleveland to 17-3, tied with Boston for the NBA's best mark in the loss column. The Cavaliers maintain the league's best winning percentage at .850 but are trying to avoid their first three-game losing streak since last April. Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Kenny Atkinson reacts in the fourth quarter against the Atlanta Hawks at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. "Our defensive engagement was good," Cleveland coach Kenny Atkinson said, contrasting Friday's loss with Wednesday's. "(But) our offense kind of tanked. It's hard to be mad at our guys. They've been phenomenal offensively." The Cavaliers ranked No. 20 in points per game a season ago with 112.6. In their first season under Atkinson as coach, they lead the NBA in scoring at 122.4. Friday's contest was Cleveland's lowest-scoring output of the season despite 29 points from Darius Garland and 24 from Evan Mobley. Donovan Mitchell managed less than half of his season average (24.1) with 12, while 14.5-point per game scorer Jarrett Allen managed just six. The Cavaliers look to get back on track against a Celtics team riding a seven-game winning streak. The Celtics, averaging the NBA's second-highest point-per-game output at 121.2, have bookended their streak with 139 points in a rout at Brooklyn on Nov. 13 and 138 points in a win Friday at Chicago. Jayson Tatum scored 35 points and grabbed 14 rebounds in Boston's nine-point defeat of the Bulls. He is averaging 28.7 points, which includes his 33-point performance in the win over the Cavaliers. In Friday's NBA Cup win, Boston also got a huge performance off the bench from Payton Pritchard. His 29 points (19 in the fourth quarter) came on the heels of a 20-point outing in the Celtics' 126-94 home blowout of the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday. "The key to him is he finds different ways to impact games. He's grown as a player over the course of his career," Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla said of Pritchard. "He's a complete player. I know it sounds weird, but he's one of the best three-level scorers I've seen for his size, and he's just a high-level competitor." At 15.6 points per game, Pritchard is one of five Celtics averaging more than 12 points along with Tatum, Jaylen Brown (24.7), Derrick White (18.3) and Jrue Holiday (12.1). --Field Level MediaBy KAREEM CHEHAYEB BEIRUT (AP) — In 2006, after a bruising monthlong war between Israel and Lebanon’s powerful Hezbollah militant group, the United Nations Security Council unanimously voted for a resolution to end the conflict and pave the way for lasting security along the border. But while there was relative calm for nearly two decades, Resolution 1701’s terms were never fully enforced. Now, figuring out how to finally enforce it is key to a U.S.-brokered ceasefire deal approved by Israel on Tuesday. In late September, after nearly a year of low-level clashes , the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah spiraled into all-out war and an Israeli ground invasion . As Israeli jets pound deep inside Lebanon and Hezbollah fires rockets deeper into northern Israel, U.N. and diplomatic officials again turned to the 2006 resolution in a bid to end the conflict. Years of deeply divided politics and regionwide geopolitical hostilities have halted substantial progress on its implementation, yet the international community believes Resolution 1701 is still the brightest prospect for long-term stability between Israel and Lebanon. Almost two decades after the last war between Israel and Hezbollah, the United States led shuttle diplomacy efforts between Lebanon and Israel to agree on a ceasefire proposal that renewed commitment to the resolution, this time with an implementation plan to try to bring the document back to life. In 2000, Israel withdrew its forces from most of southern Lebanon along a U.N.-demarcated “Blue Line” that separated the two countries and the Israeli-annexed Golan Heights, which most of the world considers occupied Syrian territory. U.N. peacekeeping forces in Lebanon, known as UNIFIL , increased their presence along the line of withdrawal. Resolution 1701 was supposed to complete Israel’s withdrawal from southern Lebanon and ensure Hezbollah would move north of the Litani River, keeping the area exclusively under the Lebanese military and U.N. peacekeepers. Up to 15,000 U.N. peacekeepers would help to maintain calm, return displaced Lebanese and secure the area alongside the Lebanese military. The goal was long-term security, with land borders eventually demarcated to resolve territorial disputes. The resolution also reaffirmed previous ones that call for the disarmament of all armed groups in Lebanon — Hezbollah among them. “It was made for a certain situation and context,” Elias Hanna, a retired Lebanese army general, told The Associated Press. “But as time goes on, the essence of the resolution begins to hollow.” For years, Lebanon and Israel blamed each other for countless violations along the tense frontier. Israel said Hezbollah’s elite Radwan Force and growing arsenal remained, and accused the group of using a local environmental organization to spy on troops. Lebanon complained about Israeli military jets and naval ships entering Lebanese territory even when there was no active conflict. “You had a role of the UNIFIL that slowly eroded like any other peacekeeping with time that has no clear mandate,” said Joseph Bahout, the director of the Issam Fares Institute for Public Policy at the American University of Beirut. “They don’t have permission to inspect the area without coordinating with the Lebanese army.” UNIFIL for years has urged Israel to withdraw from some territory north of the frontier, but to no avail. In the ongoing war, the peacekeeping mission has accused Israel, as well as Hezbollah , of obstructing and harming its forces and infrastructure. Hezbollah’s power, meanwhile, has grown, both in its arsenal and as a political influence in the Lebanese state. The Iran-backed group was essential in keeping Syrian President Bashar Assad in power when armed opposition groups tried to topple him, and it supports Iran-backed groups in Iraq and Yemen. It has an estimated 150,000 rockets and missiles, including precision-guided missiles pointed at Israel, and has introduced drones into its arsenal . Hanna says Hezbollah “is something never seen before as a non-state actor” with political and military influence. Israel’s security Cabinet approved the ceasefire agreement late Tuesday, according to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office. The ceasefire is set to take hold at 4 a.m. local time Wednesday. Efforts led by the U.S. and France for the ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah underscored that they still view the resolution as key. For almost a year, Washington has promoted various versions of a deal that would gradually lead to its full implementation. International mediators hope that by boosting financial support for the Lebanese army — which was not a party in the Israel-Hezbollah war — Lebanon can deploy some 6,000 additional troops south of the Litani River to help enforce the resolution. Under the deal, an international monitoring committee headed by the United States would oversee implementation to ensure that Hezbollah and Israel’s withdrawals take place. It is not entirely clear how the committee would work or how potential violations would be reported and dealt with. The circumstances now are far more complicated than in 2006. Some are still skeptical of the resolution’s viability given that the political realities and balance of power both regionally and within Lebanon have dramatically changed since then. “You’re tying 1701 with a hundred things,” Bahout said. “A resolution is the reflection of a balance of power and political context.” Now with the ceasefire in place, the hope is that Israel and Lebanon can begin negotiations to demarcate their land border and settle disputes over several points along the Blue Line for long-term security after decades of conflict and tension.

THE CANADIAN PRESS/Jeff McIntosh CALGARY — The Calgary Stampeders re-signed veteran kicker Rene Paredes on Wednesday while also restructuring quarterback Vernon Adams Jr.'s deal. Calgary signed Paredes to a two-year contract extension. The Canadian was scheduled to become a free agent in February. The Stampeders acquired Adams last month from the B.C. Lions. The club and player agreed to terms on a restructured contract for the 2025 and 2026 seasons. "The restructured contract will give us more salary-cap flexibility to sign free agents and retain our own players who will be eligible for free agency in February,” Dave Dickenson, Calgary's head coach and general manager, said in a statement. “Vernon remains under contract for the next two seasons and we’re excited to have him in Calgary.” Adams, an eight-year CFL veteran, posted a 6-3 record last season with B.C., completing 197-of-302 passes (65.2 per cent) for 2,929 yards with 16 touchdowns and nine interceptions. He recorded six 300-yard passing games while also rushing for 213 yards and three TDs in 40 attempts. He completed 20-of-33 passes for 317 yards with two TDs and three interceptions in B.C.'s 28-19 West Division semifinal loss to the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Paredes, a six-time all-star, has played 13 seasons with Calgary — ranking him fourth all-time in franchise history in terms of longevity — and his 229 regular-season games place him second in the Stampeders record books. He made 41 of his 44 field-goal attempts (93.2-per-cent success rate) over 18 games in 2024. Paredes has played 248 career regular-season and post-season games for the Stampeders since signing as a free agent in 2011. His 2,286 career regular-season points place him eighth on the CFL’s all-time list and he was part of Grey Cup-winning teams in 2014 and 2018. “I’m very excited to be back with the organization,” Paredes said in a release. “My family and I love the city and it’s a blessing to have spent my entire career as a Stampeder. The last two seasons have been a challenge for us as a team but I’m looking forward to doing everything I can to help turn things around.” This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 11, 2024.

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has explained why star Gabriel Magalhaes had to be substituted at half-time in Saturday's swashbuckling 5-2 win against West Ham . In-form centre-back Gabriel opened the scoring for the Gunners with just 10 minutes on the clock, heading home a Bukayo Saka corner to notch his second goal in as many games. Arsenal scored four more while West Ham pulled two back in a chaotic first half, but Gabriel didn't remerge for the second period. The Brazilian was replaced by Jakub Kiwior, who helped see out the Gunners' fourth win by a margin of three or more goals in the space of eight days. Post-match, Arteta was asked about Gabriel's condition and revealed that he'd suffered a reoccurrence of an injury picked up against Sporting Lisbon on Tuesday. "It was related to the previous injury that he had in Lisbon," the Arsenal boss told reporters. "Obviously he did great to be part of that but with that result and with the niggle that he's feeling, we decided to take him off." Arteta was also asked about star man Saka as well as Riccardo Calafiori, who were both taken off in the second half. "He's fine. He's fine. No problem," the Arsenal boss said of Saka, who scored one goal and registered three assists. "Ricci, he's been with little niggles in the last few weeks. "Obviously he had a very serious knee injury and he's doing really well, but we have to manage his minutes and today we have to do the same." On the overall performance, Arteta hailed: "It was a spectacular 30 minutes. Straight away, how much the team wanted it, the purpose, the determination, the quality that we deliver, to score three great goals in different ways and then score the fourth one in a great way as well. Will Arsenal continue their hot streak against Manchester United? Have your say in the comments section . "But then after that, we had a period where the individual quality of them play a big part. 4-2, and then it's game on, you can sense the energy change and then what's next. I think it’s great to score the fifth one because that calmed everything down. For the second half, we could play a very different game, that it was much more suited to us." He was also greatly pleased with the substitutes who replaced Gabriel, Saka and Calafiori. "Very important, we had an issue with Gabi, we have an issue with Ricky as well, yesterday we lost Thomas [Partey] and Mikel [Merino] and Myles [Lewis-Skelly] which was very bad news but what I'm really happy about is Jakub has to come in, he does really well," Artet added. " Alex [Zinchenko] the same, Jorginho , I thought he was exceptional today as well. That's the level, every three days we're going to need everybody at their best and it’s a good sign that the team can do that."
