Activists target home of Gaza Humanitarian Foundation executive
The attacks, which included damage to his car's wheels and rearview mirrors, were accompanied by a threatening message left in his driveway reading, 'Death to the GHF.'
The incidents coincided with demonstrations outside a Tel Aviv hotel where Acree is reportedly staying. The protests were led by Radical Bloc, an 'Israeli' left-wing activist group based in Jaffa, which has accused GHF of involvement in war crimes and operating US-'Israeli' distribution centers described as 'death traps.'
In a post on X, the organization stated, 'We're confronting GHF's leaders in Tel Aviv - CEO John Acree, spokesperson Chapin Fay, and their team. GHF is not a humanitarian organization - it's a weapon of genocide. We will find them, disrupt them everywhere until the siege is lifted and GHF is dismantled.'

United Nations officials have repeatedly stated that the US- and 'Israeli'-backed distribution system in Gaza was leading to mass killings of people seeking humanitarian aid.
Eyewitnesses and local officials have reported repeated killings of Palestinians seeking aid at distribution centres over recent weeks in the war-stricken Strip.
The 'Israeli' military has denied targeting people seeking aid and the US- and 'Israeli'-backed GHF has denied any deadly incidents were linked to its sites.

Hezbollah leader: We'll never surrender weapons
Hezbollah Secretary-General Naim Qassem reaffirmed Friday that the group will not surrender its weapons, warning it would fight a 'Karbala-style' battle if necessary. His remarks came a day after meeting with Ali Larijani, Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council. The statement follows the Lebanese government's order for the army to draft a plan to place all weapons under state control by the end of August. Qassem warned that Hezbollah would engage in such a battle 'if necessary' to confront what he described as a project backed by Tel Aviv and Washington. 'No matter the cost, we are confident we will win,' he said. 'This is our land and our homeland. We live together, or Lebanon will have no life,' Qassem added in a televised speech. 'If you stand on the other side and attempt to overthrow us, Lebanon cannot be built without all its components. Either it remains with us together, or it's farewell to the country.' He criticized the government's August 5 decision tasking the army with drafting a plan to disarm Hezbollah and other armed factions, calling it 'a dangerous decision' that 'strips the country of defensive weapons during aggression and makes it easier to kill the resistance.' According to Qassem, the move violates Lebanon's national pact of coexistence and risks plunging the country into a major crisis. 'Do not drag the army into internal strife,' he said, praising the military's record and noting that its leadership 'does not want to take this path.' He held the government 'fully responsible' for any potential civil strife, internal explosion, or destruction in Lebanon, accusing it of abandoning its duty to defend the country and its citizens. 'The government cannot strip the resistance of its legitimacy, nor does it have the right to do so,' he asserted. Lebanese justice minister responds Lebanon's Justice Minister responded, saying that 'threatening to destroy Lebanon to defend one's weapons puts an end to the claim that these weapons are meant to defend the country.' On protests Qassem described the government's decision as 'non-charter,' revealing that Hezbollah and its ally, the Amal Movement, agreed to postpone street protests in hopes of reaching dialogue and amendments before confrontation. He argued the government should first 'assert its authority by expelling the Israeli Occupation' and ensuring that no 'Israeli' weapons are present on Lebanese soil. 'Leave the occupation to us and do not confront it on our behalf,' he said. 'Just as the occupation's wars on Lebanon have failed, this one will fail too.' Government's disarmament plan On August 7, the Lebanese government approved the goals outlined in a US-backed proposal to solidify a ceasefire agreement between Lebanon and 'Israel'. The plan includes 'the gradual elimination of all non-governmental armed groups, including Hezbollah, across all Lebanese territory,' with support for the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) and Internal Security Forces (ISF). It also calls for deploying the LAF to border areas and key internal sites, supporting 'Israel's' withdrawal from five positions in southern Lebanon, and resolving border and prisoner issues through diplomacy.

"No one asked Hezbollah to hand weapons to Israeli enemy , but rather to Lebanese Army", says Salam
Nawaf Salam, Lebanon's Prime Minister, strongly rejected claims that there have been calls to hand over Hezbollah's weapons to the Israeli Occupation, describing such allegations as false and misleading. Responding to statements by Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem, who on Friday accused Lebanon's government of 'handing' the country to 'Israel' by pushing for the group's disarmament and warned it would fight to keep its weapons, Salam said Qassem's remarks carried 'a veiled threat of civil war.' He stressed, 'No one in Lebanon today wants civil war, and any threat or hint of it is completely unacceptable.' Salam dismissed accusations that the government is carrying out a US-'Israeli' project as 'baseless,' affirming that 'no party in Lebanon is entitled to carry arms outside the framework of the state.' He added, 'No one asked for Hezbollah to hand its weapons to the Israeli enemy as is being promoted, but rather to the Lebanese Army, whose patriotism we refuse to question.'

Israeli settlers kill two young Palestinians in West Bank field execution
ALBAWABA - In the occupied West Bank on July 11, two young Palestinians, Saifullah Musallat (20) and his friend Mohammed Riziq Al-Shalabi (23), were killed in what witnesses say was a brutal attack that lasted for hours. The attack happened in the Al-Batin area. Also Read Smotrich declares West Bank 'part of Israel by Divine promise' Reports that Al Jazeera English got from witnesses, local officials, doctors, and relief workers say that the event started out as a quiet trip. After noon services, Saif, Riziq, and a few other friends went to fields owned by family in Al-Batin, an area with hills and olive trees between Sinjil and Al-Mazraa Al-Sharqiya. A deadly attack happened in the area, which is full of summer homes mostly owned by Palestinian Americans. Around 2:15 p.m., a group of farmers hit the young men with rocks. Many of them were armed with batons, sticks, and guns. In video from that day, Israelis are seen striking, and Palestinians can be seen hitting back with stones. The young people tried to run away, but the farmers called for more help, which made their group of enemies about 70 strong. The settlers roamed the area for hours, attacking and chasing anyone they saw. Another 50 Palestinians were hurt, and Saif and Riziq were killed in the fighting. Saif was found near an oak tree, dazed and having trouble breathing. He died before he could get to the hospital. In the late evening, Riziq's body had been shot, beaten, abused, and left to bleed to death. Since the killings, Israeli violence has gone up sharply. There were 1,449 attacks on Palestinians in the West Bank in 2024. 759 new cases have been reported just in the first half of 2025. He was born in Tampa, Florida, in 2004 and is a native of the United States. Before moving to Al-Mazraa Al-Sharqiya in 2012, he spent his early years in the United States. They lived in an area known as "Little America" because it was mostly made up of Palestinian American families. Saif, who was funny and friendly, moved back to the U.S. after high school to help run his family's ice cream shop, "Ice Screamin'." In June, he came back to the West Bank for two months to see family and friends and look for a bride-to-be. Riziq, who was also from Al-Mazraa, used to be an athlete and long jumper. He was raised in a Christian home like Saif and was well-liked in the neighborhood. In the West Bank, where Palestinian communities say they are facing rising Israeli violence that goes unpunished, the deaths of both men have made people more angry and sad.
