Lebanon Needs Its Own Department of Government Efficiency
Once upon a time, a little frog tried to compete with an enormous ox. It blew and blew and blew and swelled itself until it burst. The moral of the story, which is one of Aesop’s Fables, is a warning against greed or overindulgence. It suggests that pushing things beyond their limits can have catastrophic consequences. Every government or corporation, bloated by bureaucracy, needs to keep that dramatic image in mind.

Israeli Drone Strike Kills Hezbollah Air Defense Official in Southern Lebanon
An Israeli drone strike targeted a vehicle in southern Lebanon on Tuesday, killing a Hezbollah commander, local media reported.
The strike reportedly hit the car while it was traveling between Deir al-Zahrani and Houmine al-Fawqa.
The Israeli army confirmed the strike, saying it targeted Hassan Abbas Izzedine, a Hezbollah commander from the group’s aerial defense unit.
According to the Israeli military, Izzedine was a significant figure within Hezbollah’s aerial defense operations and played a key role in efforts to rebuild the unit’s infrastructure, which had been damaged during the conflict. He was also involved in procuring new equipment for the unit, which posed a considerable threat to Israeli military aircraft, the military stated.
Additionally, the Israeli army confirmed a second airstrike earlier in the day in southern Lebanon, targeting a group of Hezbollah operatives at a facility linked to the group.
The two strikes occurred as the committee overseeing the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hezbollah held a meeting in Ras Naqoura, southern Lebanon.
