“Whoever is behind it, the launching of rockets from southern Lebanon is an irresponsible and suspicious act. It endangers Lebanon’s security and safety and gives Israel pretexts to continue its attacks against it. We will not allow the country to be dragged into new adventures, and we will take all necessary measures to stop those responsible and protect the Lebanese people.”

أياً كانت الجهة التي تقف وراءها، فإنّ عملية إطلاق الصواريخ من جنوب لبنان عمل غير مسؤول ومشبوه، ويعرّض امن لبنان وسلامته للخطر ويمنح اسرائيل الذرائع لمواصلة اعتداءاتها عليه. لن نسمح بجر البلاد إلى مغامرات جديدة، وسنتخذ كل الإجراءات اللازمة لتوقيف الفاعلين وحماية اللبنانيين.

Hezbollah says it fired precision rockets and drones at the Mishmar HaCarmel site south of Haifa in northern Israel overnight. The group says the attack was in retaliation for the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and in response to ongoing Israeli strikes, calling it a “legitimate act of self-defence.”

Hamas is a pale shadow of what it was - but it could yet reinvent itself bbc.in/4o3XLuv

Gazans say they never imagined Israeli airstrikes would return so quickly. The brief sense of relief that followed the ceasefire has swiftly turned into fear and uncertainty. Residents have begun hiding inside their tents and homes, while prices of basic goods have already started to rise in several areas, reflecting growing anxiety and disappointment over how fast the situation has deteriorated.
