Lebanese President General Joseph Aoun strongly condemned Israeli airstrikes carried out yesterday by land and sea on Sidon area in southern Lebanon and on towns in the Bekaa Valley in the east.In a statement issued by the Lebanese Presidency on Saturday, Aoun said the strikes constitute a new violation of Lebanon's sovereignty and a clear breach of international commitments. He added that they reflect a disregard for the will of the international community, particularly United Nations resolutions calling for full compliance with Resolution 1701 in all its provisions.He described the continued attacks as "a clear act of aggression" aimed at undermining Lebanon's diplomatic efforts with partner and friendly nations, foremost among them the United States, to consolidate stability and halt Israeli hostilities against Lebanon.The Lebanese president renewed his call on countries sponsoring regional stability "to assume their responsibilities to immediately stop the attacks and exert pressure to ensure respect for international resolutions," in a manner that preserves Lebanon's sovereignty, security and territorial integrity and prevents further escalation and tension in the region.The Israeli strikes carried out yesterday on southern Lebanon and parts of the Bekaa Valley left at least 10 people dead and several others injured. 

At least 25 Palestinians were killed in four Israeli airstrikes Wednesday in a part of Gaza under Hamas control since a shaky ceasefire took effect in October, health authorities said. Medics said 10 people were killed in the Gaza City suburb of Zeitoun, two in Shejaia suburb to the east and the rest in two separate attacks in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip.**media[383862]**The Israeli military said its forces struck Hamas targets across Gaza after members of the Palestinian fighters fired on its troops in violation of the nearly six-week-old ceasefire. No Israeli forces were injured. Repeated shooting incidents have pointed to the fragility of the ceasefire.Israel and Hamas have traded blame for what both call violations of the US-brokered truce, the first stage of President Donald Trump's 20-point plan for a post-war Gaza. All three attacks were far beyond an agreed-upon imaginary "yellow line" separating the areas under Israeli and Palestinian control, according to medics, witnesses and Palestinian media.**media[383863]**The Zeitoun attack was on a building belonging to Muslim religious authorities and the Khan Younis attack was on a UN-run club, both of which house displaced families. The October 10 ceasefire in the two-year Gaza war has eased the conflict, enabling hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to return to Gaza’s ruins.Israel has pulled troops back from city positions, and aid flows have increased. But violence has not completely halted. Palestinian health authorities say Israeli forces have killed 305 people in strikes on Gaza since the truce, nearly half of them in one day last week when Israel retaliated for an attack on its troops. Israel says three of its soldiers have been killed since the ceasefire began.

One person was killed and others injured in an Israeli airstrike on southern Lebanon. In a statement, the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health reported that an Israeli airstrike on the Musaylih area killed one person and injured seven others. Lebanon calls on the international community to pressure the Israeli entity to end its daily attacks, withdraw unconditionally from all occupied territories in the south, and release the detainees. On Nov. 27 of last year, a ceasefire deal came into effect in Lebanon. The agreement required Israeli forces to withdraw from border villages and towns in southern Lebanon within 60 days. Later, the Lebanese government agreed to extend the deadline until last February. However, the occupation army has maintained its positions at five points and continues its violations there.

A number of Palestinians were killed as a result of violent airstrikes launched by the Israeli occupation forces on multiple areas in Gaza City over the past two hours, coinciding with intense drone flights over the city. Palestinian news agency (WAFA) reported local sources as saying that drones targeted a group of people in Al-Jalaa Street in central Gaza City, resulting in the killing of dozens of Palestinians and wounding others. These airstrikes come despite US President Donald Trump's earlier call on Israel to immediately stop its bombardment of Gaza. The call followed Hamas' announcement of its acceptance of President Trump's proposal to end the war in the Strip and its willingness to release all hostages as part of the exchange formula included in the proposal. Medical sources at Al-Shifa Hospital said that emergency and civil defense crews recovered the bodies of five slain Palestinians from under the rubble of a house that was targeted last night in the western part of Gaza City.

Six Palestinians were killed and others injured on Saturday in Israeli airstrikes on different parts of the Gaza Strip. Medical sources reported that two children were killed, and eight others were injured after an Israeli drone bombed a tent housing displaced persons in Al Mawasi area, northwest of Khan Yunis. Meanwhile, Israeli artillery continued its intense shelling and gunfire from the north of Khan Yunis. Four people were killed as a result of Israeli shelling that targeted a house in Al Tuffah neighborhood, northeast of Gaza City, while others were injured in another Israeli drone that targeted a house in the same neighborhood. At the same time, Israeli occupation forces detonated two booby-trapped armored vehicles, destroying civilian homes in Al Sabra neighborhood, south of Gaza City. The death toll from the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, has risen to 66,225, in addition to the injury of 168,938 people.

Fourteen citizens were martyred and others injured on Wednesday in a series of Israeli airstrikes targeting several areas in the Gaza Strip. Medical sources reported that seven people were martyred and others were injured when Israeli warplanes bombed a house in the Daraj neighborhood, east of Gaza City.Six citizens were also martyred and others were injured when the al-Falah School, which houses displaced persons, was targeted in the al-Zeitoun neighborhood, southeast of the city.Meanwhile, Israeli forces set fire to buildings near the Islamic University, southwest of Gaza City, causing extensive damage, according to the Palestinian news agency (WAFA).A citizen was also martyred and several others were injured in an Israeli drone strike on the al-Jadid refugee camp, northwest of the al-Nuseirat refugee camp, in the central Gaza Strip.In addition, the health ministry's figures showed that September 2025 alone saw the martyrdom of 2,106 people in the Gaza Strip.

Director of Medical Relief in the Gaza Strip Dr. Mohammad Abu Afesh revealed that Israeli occupation forces have ordered all health and medical institutions, along with their staff, to immediately evacuate Gaza City, which is currently witnessing an intensified military operation and relentless airstrikes across its neighborhoods. Speaking to Qatar News Agency (QNA), Abu Afesh warned that the shutdown of health institutions in Gaza City, especially international ones, would deal a devastating blow to an already crippled healthcare system, ravaged by systematic targeting and destruction since the onset of what he described as a genocidal war. Despite mounting threats and the blockade on medical supplies, Abu Afesh affirmed that Medical Relief will continue its operations in Gaza City. He noted that Israeli forces committed a compounded crime by destroying the organization's main headquarters on Omar Al Mukhtar Street in the Al-Rimal neighborhood, as well as another facility in Tel Al Hawa in the southern part of the city. He further stated that nearly 1,600 humanitarian and medical workers have been killed since the beginning of the war on Gaza, calling for international accountability for Israel's crimes against medical personnel and institutions. Abu Afesh pointed out that intense Israeli bombardment in northern Gaza has forced the closure of four hospitals since the beginning of the month, halting services for thousands of wounded and sick individuals whose numbers continue to rise due to the ongoing military campaign. He stressed that forced evacuation orders, mass displacement, excessive use of firepower through aerial and artillery bombardment, and the detonation of armored vehicles in residential areas have severely impacted essential health facilities in Gaza City. Many have been evacuated, while others have ceased functioning due to the blockade, mobility restrictions on staff, and direct targeting of facilities or their surroundings. Abu Afesh reported that over 15,000 injured and ill individuals require urgent medical evacuation and access to proper treatment, yet evacuation efforts remain painfully slow and insufficient given the scale of casualties, especially as the assault on Gaza City intensifies. He urged all international and UN bodies to take immediate action to enforce a ceasefire in Gaza and ensure unrestricted access for medical teams to support what remains of the healthcare system and prevent its total collapse. Gaza's health sector is facing a suffocating crisis, with continued restrictions on the entry of medicines and medical supplies, ongoing targeting of medical personnel through killings and arrests, and the systematic destruction of major hospitals amid the escalating Israeli aggression on the besieged enclave.

Several Palestinians were martyred and others injured by Israeli occupation airstrikes and gunfire since the early hours of Thursday.

In central Gaza's Nuseirat refugee camp, several people were injured when Israeli aircraft bombed a house. Meanwhile, in Gaza City's Al-Tuffah neighborhood, others were wounded when a home on Yafa Street was struck. The Israeli army continues its aggression, carrying out intensive air raids across Gaza City in particular, in an effort to force residents to flee toward the central and southern parts of the Strip. More than 65,000 Palestinians were martyred, and 167,160 injured in the ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza since October 2023.

The Israeli occupation continued relentless airstrikes across the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, causing more Palestinian deaths and injuries. According to Palestinian news agency (WAFA), four Palestinians were martyred and several more injured after Israeli warplanes struck a residential building in Gaza City. Reports also indicated that Israeli aircraft targeted the Shati Camp in Gaza City. Meanwhile, medical sources said a Palestinian woman was martyred when occupation forces shelled the Bureij Camp, while injuries were reported in several other areas across the Strip. WAFA further reported that two fishermen were martyred by Israeli gunfire south of Gaza City. The latest attacks have brought the death toll from the ongoing Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip to 65,344, mostly women and children, with 166,795 others injured.
