State security arrests man in Nabatieh for 'human trafficking and fraud'
State Security announced on Tuesday in a statement that it had apprehended a Syrian national in Nabatieh, southern Lebanon, for alleged involvement in human trafficking and fraud. "During questioning, the detainee confessed to deceiving multiple individuals by claiming he could smuggle them out of Lebanon, either by sea via the Port of Tripoli or by air through Beirut's airport, in exchange for $6,000. He reportedly used forged airline tickets as part of the scheme," the statement said. A patrol from the Nabatieh Regional Directorate arrested the suspect after monitoring his activities. "Legal proceedings were initiated against him under the supervision of the competent judiciary," the statement concluded. Migrants seeking to take the dangerous journey of leaving Lebanon by boat generally attempt to reach Cyprus. Most are Syrians fleeing the consequences of the civil war in Syria or the economic crisis in Lebanon, which has also driven Lebanese and Palestinians in Lebanon to leave the country illegally. The army regularly announces that it foiled illegal migration attempts off the coast of North Lebanon, the most recent one in May. Many migrants often die at sea.

UN condemns Ben Gvir for taunting Marwan Barghouti
The U.N.'s human rights office on Tuesday condemned a far-right Israeli minister for taunting a Palestinian prisoner in his cell and sharing the footage online. National security minister Itamar Ben Gvir published a video on Friday last week showing him confronting Marwan Barghouti, the most high-profile Palestinian detainee in Israeli custody. U.N. Human Rights Office spokesman Thameen al-Kheetan said the footage was unacceptable, adding: "The minister's behavior and the publication of the footage constitute an attack on Barghouti's dignity." Barghouti, now in his sixties, was sentenced in 2004 to life in prison on murder charges. Regarded as a terrorist by Israel, he often tops opinion polls of popular Palestinian leaders and is sometimes described by his supporters as the "Palestinian Mandela." He has advocated for a two-state solution. "International law requires that all those in detention be treated humanely, with dignity, and their human rights respected and protected," said Kheetan. He warned that the minister's actions "may encourage violence against Palestinian detainees" and enable rights violations in Israeli prisons.
