Israeli air strike on south Lebanon kills one
An Israeli strike on southern Lebanon killed one person on Saturday, the Lebanese health ministry said, in the latest violation of a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah. In a statement, the health ministry said that an Israeli drone strike on a car in the village of Kunin killed one man in a preliminary toll. The Israeli military did not immediately comment on the incident. The attack comes a day after Israel killed a woman and wounded 25 other people in heavy strikes across the country's south. Lebanon's state-run National News Agency reported that the woman was killed in an Israeli drone strike on a residential apartment in the city of Nabatiyeh. New MEE newsletter: Jerusalem Dispatch Sign up to get the latest insights and analysis on Israel-Palestine, alongside Turkey Unpacked and other MEE newsletters Friday's air strikes were "the most intense" on southern Lebanon since the end of the 66-day war last November, according to residents. The Israeli military claimed, without evidence, that the site was part of a damaged underground project that Hezbollah had attempted to repair in recent days. Israel is reported to have violated the November 2024 ceasefire that ended over a year of hostilities with Hezbollah almost daily. At least 173 people have been killed and more than 400 wounded in Israeli attacks since the ceasefire went into effect, Hussein Chaabane, an investigative journalist with Legal Agenda who has been tracking the strikes, was quoted as saying by the Washington Post. Under the ceasefire deal, Hezbollah was to pull its fighters back north of the Litani river, some 30 kilometres from the Israeli border, leaving the Lebanese army and United Nations peacekeepers as the only armed parties in the region. Hezbollah has previously said the majority of its military sites in southern Lebanon are now under the control of the Lebanese army. "Out of 265 Hezbollah military positions identified south of the Litani [River], the movement has ceded about 190 to the army," a party source told AFP in April. Israel was required to fully withdraw from the country but its forces still occupy in five "strategic" locations in south Lebanon.

Israeli settlers attack soldiers in occupied West Bank
Israeli settlers and soldiers clashed on Friday night outside a village in the occupied West Bank where three Palestinians were killed earlier in the week. The Israeli military said soldiers saw vehicles heading towards the Palestinian village of Kafr Malik, which had been declared a military zone after the deadly settler attack on Wednesday. 'Upon the arrival of the forces, dozens of Israeli civilians hurled stones towards them and physically and verbally assaulted the soldiers, including the battalion commander,' the army said on X. The crowds 'vandalised and damaged security forces' vehicles, and attempted to ram them', it added. Security forces dispersed the gathering, and six Israeli settlers were arrested and handed over to the police for further processing, the army said. Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz condemned the attack on soldiers. 'The State of Israel will not tolerate violence and taking the law into one's own hands, and will not allow harm to … soldiers who bravely fight against Palestinian terrorism in [the West Bank] and protect the security of the settlers day and night,' he said. He has said previously that acts of violence by Israeli settlers against Palestinians are not considered terrorism. More than 100 settlers attacked Kafr Malik on Wednesday in the presence of soldiers, according to the Yesh Din rights group. The soldiers opened fire, killing three Palestinians. The army said they were shooting at Palestinian gunmen and stone throwers. Settlers attacks in the occupied West Bank have been taking place almost daily with little action from Israeli authorities and security forces, despite growing western condemnation and sanctions. Earlier this month, the UK sanctioned far-right Israeli ministers Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben-Gvir for inciting 'extremist violence and serious abuses' of Palestinians through their support of settler violence.
