The last thing Ali Younes posted on his Facebook account was a post in which he expressed his deep concern about the developments in southern Lebanon, where he wrote: “In southern Lebanon there is a state of ‘holding breath’ and extreme anticipation, as the situation oscillates between hope for an anticipated humanitarian truce and a violent field escalation aimed at imposing new realities before a ceasefire.”
