Hezbollah retaliation 

The Hezbollah resistance movement continues to confront invading Israeli forces while striking the regime’s military sites and settlements with rockets and drones. In one of its latest operations, the movement launched a complex attack with missiles and a squadron of drones on the Ein Shemer base, which hosts Israel’s air defense systems. It also hit gatherings of Israeli forces in various towns and settlements across the northern part of the occupied territories. Hezbollah fighters targeted a dozen Israeli soldiers with a guided missile, killing and wounding them. Hezbollah’s missiles also hit the Adam training camp for Israel’s special units southeast of Tel Aviv. The movement’s air defenses confronted an Israeli Hermes 450 drone and a warplane with surface-to-air missiles, forcing them to leave Lebanon's airspace. Hezbollah also fired rocket barrages at Krayot settlement, north of the city of Haifa, and Kiryat Shmona. 

Israel Lebanon aggression 

The Israeli regime presses ahead with its aggression against Lebanon, leaving more civilians dead and injured across the country. In one of the deadliest attacks, nearly 20 people were killed after the Israeli military struck two areas in the eastern city of Baalbek. To the south, the regime’s attacks hit an area in the town of Tyre, killing and injuring several people. Israeli strikes in the Western Bekaa region also resulted in nearly a dozen fatalities. Even offices of international groups are not spared from the regime’s strikes. In a new announcement, the UN peacekeeping force in Lebanon said it had recorded some 20 Israeli attacks, resulting in property damage and injury to peacekeepers. It said seven of the attacks were clearly deliberate. More than one year of Israeli aggression on Lebanon has left over 2,800 people dead and nearly 13,000 others injured. 

Israel UNRWA ban 

Iran has strongly condemned Israel's ban on the operations of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees in the occupied territories as outrageous and cruel  . Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman said the ban is extremely consequential as UNRWA is irreplaceable and essential without which the humanitarian system in Gaza will collapse. Esmail Baghaei added that the world must act decisively to stop the regime from uprooting the 75-year-old agency and prevent the deprivation of Palestinian refugees of their minimum basic rights. On Wednesday, the UN Security Council also expressed grave concern over Israel’s decision, calling on the regime to abide by its international obligations. It added that no organization can replace UNRWA and any interruption of its work will have severe humanitarian consequences for millions of Palestinian refugees.
