Israel Lebanon aggression

The Israeli military has launched a wave of heavy airstrikes on the southern suburbs of the Lebanese capital, marking a significant escalation in its violations of the ceasefire deal with the country. A series of airstrikes struck Beirut’s southern suburbs on the eve of the Muslim Eid al-Adha holiday. The attacks came after evacuation orders were issued by the Israeli military for several areas. Israel claimed the strikes targeted underground Hezbollah drone-manufacturing facilities. The movement has not yet responded to the allegation. According to Israeli media, missile systems in northern occupied Palestine have been placed on high alert in anticipation of possible retaliation. This marks the fourth Israeli attack on the Lebanese capital since the ceasefire agreement took effect last November. Since then, over two-hundred people have been killed and around five-hundred injured in Israeli strikes.

Israel nurturing anti-Hamas gang

Hamas says the latest revelation that Israel is arming criminal gangs in Gaza exposes the regime’s role in orchestrating chaos, stealing humanitarian aid, and starving the Palestinian people. The movement says the revelation by Israeli opposition figure Avigdor Lieberman confirms direct coordination between looting gangs and the occupation in the plundering of aid and the fabrication of crises. Hamas called on the Palestinian people to withdraw any social cover from these gangs and to cooperate with Gaza security forces to protect the society from the enemy’s infiltrating arms. Lieberman has accused Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu of unilaterally arming Gaza criminal gangs that he compared to Daesh without the approval of the cabinet. The gang claims to protect humanitarian aid convoys but it has been widely accused of looting them.

Yemen anti-Israel operations

Yemen’s armed forces have carried out a fresh anti-Israel missile operation, targeting Ben Gurion Airport in support of the Palestinian people in Gaza. Yemeni army spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saree added that the operation successfully achieved its goal, forcing millions of occupying Zionists to flee to shelters and halting air traffic at the airport. He said the operation was in retaliation for the Israeli war of starvation in Gaza and its Thursday attacks on the southern suburbs of Beirut.
