Freedom flotilla approaches Gaza after reaching Egypt
A humanitarian aid vessel carrying 12 activists is now sailing along Egypt's coast en route to the besieged Gaza Strip, according to organizers from the Freedom Flotilla Coalition. The ship, Madleen, departed Sicily last week loaded with essential relief supplies intended for Palestinians in Gaza. The mission's goal, as stated by the coalition, is to "break Israel's blockade on Gaza," which has been in place since before the 2023 outbreak of war. 'We are now sailing off the Egyptian coast,' German human rights activist Yasemin Acar told Agence France-Presse (AFP), confirming the passengers are in good condition. In a Saturday statement from London, the International Committee for Breaking the Siege of Gaza confirmed that the vessel had entered Egyptian waters. The group said it is coordinating closely with international legal and human rights organizations to protect those on board, warning that any attempt to intercept the ship would be 'a blatant violation of international humanitarian law.' European Parliament member Rima Hassan, also among the passengers, appealed to world leaders to 'guarantee safe passage for the Freedom Flotilla.' "Israel" has previously responded with force to similar maritime efforts. In 2010, a raid by "Israeli" commandos on the Turkish ship Mavi Marmara, which was part of a previous aid flotilla, left 10 civilians dead. More recently in May, another ship from the coalition, the Conscience, reportedly came under drone fire, prompting emergency interventions by Malta and Cyprus. Earlier in its current voyage, Madleen temporarily diverted course near Crete to respond to a distress call from a migrant boat. Activists aboard rescued four Sudanese migrants who had jumped overboard in an attempt to avoid being pushed back to Libya. The rescued individuals were later transferred to an EU Frontex ship. The Freedom Flotilla Coalition, which began its efforts in 2010, represents a network of civil society groups demanding an end to the humanitarian blockade of Gaza. "Israel" imposed the latest round of severe restrictions on March 2, only partially easing them since, despite mounting international condemnation.

Lebanon: Israel refused inspection request before Beirut strikes
The Lebanese army has accused the Israeli Occupation of undermining a ceasefire agreement by launching new airstrikes and refusing to cooperate with mechanisms aimed at preventing further escalation. In a statement issued Friday, the army condemned "Israel's" ongoing strikes in southern Lebanon and Beirut's southern suburbs, saying the attacks are a 'continuation of its aggression' and a clear breach of the 2024 ceasefire agreement. The military added that its attempts to inspect targeted areas in coordination with the UN monitoring committee were dismissed by "Israeli" forces. 'Despite our coordination efforts with the monitoring committee to prevent an attack, and dispatching patrols to inspect several sites, the Israeli side rejected the proposal,' the army said, warning that Lebanon may reconsider its collaboration with the UN-led ceasefire monitoring mechanism if violations persist. The latest "Israeli" assault, carried out Thursday evening, included eight airstrikes on Beirut's southern suburbs following evacuation warnings. Two additional strikes were reported in Ain Qana, a town in southern Lebanon. This marked the fourth and most intense round of attacks since the ceasefire came into effect on November 27, 2024. Lebanon reaffirmed its commitment to UN Security Council Resolution 1701, which outlines the terms of the truce that ended the 2006 war between Hezbollah and "Israel". The resolution mandates a halt in hostilities and calls for Lebanese military control in the south, with support from UN peacekeeping forces. 'The enemy's continued breach of the agreement and refusal to cooperate with the monitoring committee weakens the role of both the committee and the army,' the Lebanese army warned, signaling that continued noncompliance could lead to 'a freeze in cooperation.' In a sharp response, "Israeli" Defense Minister Israel Katz issued a warning of his own, 'Lebanon will enjoy no peace or stability without Israel's security.'

Hamas: Matan Zangauker will not return alive
Hamas' armed wing, the Al-Qassam Brigades, released a photograph on Saturday of Israeli captive Matan Zangauker with a stark caption: 'He Will Not Return Alive,' in what appears to be a direct message to the "Israeli" military. The release of the image came hours after Abu Obaida, the spokesperson for the brigades, issued a statement warning the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) against attempting a military rescue of Zangauker, who has been held captive in Gaza since 2023. 'Occupation forces are besieging a location where the captive, Matan Zangauker, is being held, and we firmly assert that the enemy will not be able to retrieve him alive,' Abu Obaida said in the statement. He added that Zangauker's life had been preserved for a year and eight months, but cautioned that any rescue effort would place him in imminent danger. 'The occupation bears full responsibility for his fate,' the statement warned.
