REVEALED: Inside Israel’s war on paramedics. The National investigated four cases in which Israeli strikes killed first responders while they were carrying out rescue missions. In each case, the paramedics were clearly identifiable as rescuers, and there was no indication of an immediate military threat that would justify the attack. Legal experts said the cases reveal a pattern that appears "deliberate" and shows "clear intent" to target paramedics. 1/

Mind you Israel refused to let her leave for 3 months causing the amputations
A year ago, the world met Habiba al-Askari, a three-year-old toddler in Gaza fighting for her life. @JomanaCNN and @AbeerSalmanCNN's reporting resulted in Habiba's medical evacuation to Amman. CNN returned to Jordan this year to reunite with little Habiba and her family.

ā€œEach strike is a family gone.ā€ Dr Wael Mroueh, head of Jabal Amel University Hospital told us that almost every attack on Tyre results in civilian casualties. Despite constant Israeli strikes and troops stationed only a few kilometres away, tens of thousands of residents have remained in the city. Tyre has now effectively become the last major inhabited city in Lebanon’s deep south. Residents have told us of a routine shaped by anxiety, stockpiling and waiting between strikes.

After manually reviewing nearly 4,000 buildings one by one, using high resolution satellite imagery from June 9, I have finally completed a detailed damage assessment of Nabatieh. Approximately 234 buildings appear to be fully destroyed, with a further 183 buildings severely damaged (major sections missing or at apparent risk of collapse). Another 379 buildings sustained moderate damage (e.g from debris impact). In total, roughly one in five buildings in Nabatieh appears to have sustained notable damage. This brings the total damages to an estimated $250 million, however please note that this was very broadly calculated and may be inaccurate. The attached chart provides a more detailed breakdown of the findings. I am also working to migrate the data into the interactive map to make everything easier to explore.

Journalist Nada Maucourant Atallah reports from the historic city of Tyre in southern Lebanon, where damage is visible at an archaeological site following an Israeli strike. The area forms part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Tyre, recognized for its outstanding cultural and historical value.

On average, Israel has killed more than 1 child every day in Lebanon since the ceasefire on April 17. It also killed 32 paramedics since then, nearly 1 in 4 of those killed since Mar 2. Israeli Displacement & Killings of Civilians in Lebanon Rage on @HRW hrw.org/news/2026/06/11/isra…

Before-and-after images of the Roman ruins show that the Israeli strike blew off the top section of an ancient column - at a minimum. The entrance to the site was also completely shattered. As someone who has wandered countless times through these picturesque vestiges, it was deeply dystopian to see debris scattered across Tyre’s cherished archaeological site. I could not identify any military targets that would justify striking a UNESCO-protected area.
Reporting from the historic city of Tyre for @TheNationalNews. We saw clear damage at one of the archaeological sites, where wreckage was scattered among ancient Roman ruins and a column had been broken by an Israeli strike on Sunday. The attack targeted, and completely obliterated, a heritage house just a few metres away. The area is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, which legally protects landmarks or areas legally because of their ā€œoutstanding value to humanity.ā€

Ancient Tyre, one of the world’s oldest continuously inhabited cities and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is now also seeing damage to its archaeological treasures. Reporting from @MaucourantNada shows debris scattered across Roman ruins after a nearby strike destroyed a historic heritage home.

UPDATE: Ben Gvir also stated that the IDF should abduct woman and young men to force Hezbollah to stop attacks.
šŸšØā€¼ļøIsrael is casually kidnapping civilians in southern Lebanon. Two more men were abducted today while operating a well in Kfarchouba, the only source of water for the area. This brings the total number of civilians abducted from Kfarchouba alone to six. The Sunni-majority village is among the few communities within the "yellow line" that remain inhabited. The mayor told us Israeli raids and abductions have become a constant threat. ā€œThis is our land and our country. We will not leave. They can use force and intimidation, but they cannot break our attachment to our land, our homes and our village.ā€ thenationalnews.com/news/men…

Israel is manufacturing consent to bomb civilian areas in Lebanon through claims that Hezbollah operates from them. The displacement order for Tyre’s Christian quarter came just a week after Israel accused Hezbollah of operating there. Following the allegation, the Lebanese Army conducted patrols and ā€œdidn’t find anything suspicious,ā€ a security source told us. ā€œThey are targeting every village, every city, everywhere. They are striking areas regardless of whether Hezbollah is actually present.ā€ It also shows Israel’s complete disregard for the Lebanese Army, the very force that the international community says should be empowered and deployed instead of Hezbollah. thenationalnews.com/news/men…?

Israel struck the city of Tyre, killing nine and injuring 21, AND THEN issued a forced displacement order for the area. A textbook tactic of terrorising civilians.

Can we stop with this push for Syria to invade Lebanon to fight Hizballah - it won’t end well for anyone. Can people actually learn historical lessons. This is a bizarro version of Hafez invading Lebanon, which supercharged the Lebanese civil war.

More news from the ceasefire: 3 Lebanese soldiers, including a brigadier and a captain, were killed in an Israeli air strike on a military vehicle on the Kfartebnit-Khardali road in Nabatieh today. Israel is targeting the same army supposed to disarm Hezbollah and deploy in the south btw.

ā€œAll our partners are worried about the security vacuum. […] But today I repeat very clearly: France is ready,ā€ French envoy Jean-Yves Le Drian told us. France is considering alternatives to UNIFIL ahead of its planned withdrawal from southern Lebanon at the end of the year. Le Drian said Italy and Spain could also join a future security mechanism, as the fourth Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire faces mounting pressure. thenationalnews.com/news/men…?
