The Israeli occupation military has deployed additional reinforcements and bulldozers into Jenin refugee camp, continuing to demolish infrastructure, widen roads, and carve out new military routes. Live fire continues to ring out in the camp's vicinity, with infantry units maneuvering through neighborhoods under the cover of intensified drone surveillance. The escalation has forced the displacement of 21,000 residents, who have sought refuge in Jenin City and nearby villages.

Lebanon FM stresses to Iranian counterpart the need to disarm Hezbollah
Lebanese Foreign Minister Youssef Raji informed his Iranian counterpart, Abbas Araghchi, on Tuesday that Hezbollah put his country in a 'difficult situation' when it embarked on more than a year of fighting with Israel in 2023, and stressed the importance of disarming the Tehran-backed terror group. Araghchi met with Raji — a member of the Lebanese Forces party — in Beirut, on his first visit to Lebanon since October last year, when Hezbollah was in the midst of an all-out war with Israel in southern Lebanon. A month later, Beirut and Jerusalem would sign a ceasefire agreement that brought an end to the fighting During the meeting, Raji told Araghchi that recent 'military adventures' — an apparent reference to Hezbollah — had put the country in a 'difficult situation,' the Saudi Al Arabiya news outlet reported. These adventures, Raji told his Iranian counterpart, 'had not contributed to ending the Israeli occupation of Lebanese territory.' When Israel withdrew from southern Lebanon following the deployment of the Lebanese Armed Forces per the terms of the November 2024 ceasefire, it left troops stationed in five strategic hills located several hundred meters inside Lebanon, which it says are necessary to defend Israeli border communities. Six months on from the start of the ceasefire, the Lebanese state has been working methodically to dismantle Hezbollah infrastructure in the south of the country, and is estimated to have seized the majority of the group's weapons stockpile south of the Litani River area. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal last week, Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam said that his government had achieved 80 percent of its objectives regarding the disarmament of militias in the country's south. 'All over the Lebanese territory, the state should have a monopoly on arms,' Salam told the US outlet, stressing 'the need to extend and consolidate the authority of the state.' Echoing his prime minister on Tuesday, Raji appeared to take a firm stance against allowing Iran's agenda to influence Lebanon's future, telling Araghchi that the country's ability to recover from the recent fighting was tied to Hezbollah's disarmament, Al Arabiya reported. Unprovoked, Hezbollah began attacking military outposts and communities in northern Israel on October 8, 2023, in a show of support for fellow Iranian proxy Hamas in Gaza after its assault on southern Israel a day earlier. The fighting continued for more than a year, including some two months of open war in southern Lebanon, and ended with the ceasefire signed in late November. The fighting displaced over 1 million people inside Lebanon, and caused destruction that the World Bank has said will cost $11 billion in reconstruction. Raji informed Araghchi that 'coordination between Lebanon and Iran should occur through official state channels,' rather than via proxies like Hezbollah, which enjoys Tehran's support, monetary and otherwise, having received billions of dollars and all types of weapons over the years.

Zionist Government Approves Proposal to Expedite Dismissal of Attorney General
The Zionist cabinet approved on Sunday a proposal by so-called 'Justice Minister' Yariv Levin to revise the procedures for dismissing Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara, setting the stage for a formal hearing that could lead to her removal. Following the approval, Levin called on government ministers to convene a hearing for Baharav-Miara as part of the dismissal process — a move that further escalates the government's ongoing confrontation with the judicial establishment. Levin first initiated efforts to oust Gali Baharav-Miara in March, circulating a proposal among cabinet members to withdraw confidence in her. He cited 'inappropriate conduct' and 'fundamental, long-standing disagreements' with the government as justification for her removal. Zionist Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara reportedly announced on Thursday that the army will issue over 50,000 mandatory conscription orders to ultra-Orthodox (Haredi) yeshiva students in July. This comes amid an escalating crisis over the conscription of religious students,… — The Palestine Chronicle (@PalestineChron) June 6, 2025 Former Legal Officials Warn of Grave Consequences In a rare and coordinated response, seven former senior legal officials — including former Zionist Supreme Court President Aharon Barak — signed a petition on March 20 warning that there is no legal basis for Baharav-Miara's dismissal. They argued that such a move would severely undermine the rule of law in the Zionist entity. The signatories, which also included former Zionist attorneys general and legal advisors such as Elyakim Rubinstein, Meni Mazuz, Yehuda Weinstein, and Avichai Mandelblit, stated that they had been closely monitoring Baharav-Miara's performance and found her conduct to be in line with legal norms. 'She is facing extraordinary and unprecedented challenges,' they wrote. 'In our view, she is fulfilling her responsibilities in accordance with the principles of law, acting as a legal advisor to the government and a defender of the rule of law.' They emphasized that Baharav-Miara has shown 'a commitment to the law, without fear or favor,' adding that her conduct merits respect, not removal. The dispute between the government and the attorney general, they noted, reflects the government's resistance to legal constraints rather than any failure on her part. 'The attorney general's role is to provide legal guidance to the government within the bounds of the law and to act as the chief guardian of legal norms on behalf of the public,' the petition continued. 'Her dismissal would not only harm the rule of law but also undermine the professional independence of the legal advisory system and weaken its ability to function.' Controversy Deepens Ahead of Hearing Prior to the vote, the Israeli Channel 12 reported that the cabinet had begun formal deliberations to change the legal framework for dismissing the attorney general. Baharav-Miara refused to attend the session, declaring the decision to alter her dismissal process unlawful. Back in late March, the cabinet had already voted unanimously — and in her absence — to withdraw confidence from Baharav-Miara. According to Israel Hayom, the government decided to move forward with her dismissal shortly thereafter. In a letter sent ahead of that session, Baharav-Miara rejected its legitimacy, stressing that the meeting had 'no legal standing.' Following the vote, the Zionist 'Justice Minister,' Levin, released a statement asserting that the government's actions were justified by her 'inappropriate behavior and deep-seated disagreements with the cabinet.' The clash marks a significant escalation in the Netanyahu-led government's broader effort to reshape the Zionist enemy's judiciary — a campaign that has drawn fierce domestic and international criticism for threatening judicial independence and democratic norms.
