Amnesty International: "Israel" Committed War Crimes Against Civilians in Lebanon
Amnesty International has accused the Israeli army of launching indiscriminate attacks on civilians in Lebanon during the recent war, committing war crimes against citizens.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, the human rights organization said: "There is mounting evidence of repeated violations of international humanitarian law," accusing Israeli forces of failing to distinguish between civilian and military targets in several strikes across different parts of Lebanon in 2023 and 2024.
Ramzi Kaiss, a Lebanese researcher at Amnesty International, stated: "More and more evidence shows that Israeli forces repeatedly fail to protect civilians and do not adequately distinguish between civilian and military targets in their strikes across various parts of Lebanon in 2023 and 2024."
Amnesty International pointed to two incidents it described as unlawful and likely constituting war crimes.
On September 25 last year, an enemy airstrike in northeastern Lebanon killed 23 members of a Syrian refugee family, including 13 children.
In another incident on November 1, 2024, a two-story residential building was bombed, resulting in the deaths of ten civilians.
It is worth noting that the Zionist enemy has not adhered to the ceasefire agreement that came into effect on November 27, 2024, and still controls areas in southern Lebanon, despite the agreement stipulating its complete withdrawal after the ground military operation. Additionally, Israeli forces continue to launch near-daily raids on southern Lebanon.

Israeli occupation releases pregnant prisoner Rimaa Balawi under conditions after six months in detention
Gaza – Saba: Israeli occupation authorities released Palestinian pregnant prisoner Rimaa Balawi (31) from Tulkarm this evening, Monday, under conditions and a bail of 15,000 shekels. According to a statement by the Palestinian Prisoners Club received by the Yemen News Agency (SABA), Balawi, a mother of two and eight months pregnant, was arrested by Israeli forces at her home in Tulkarm in February 2025 on charges described by the occupation as 'incitement.' The club noted that the total number of female prisoners now stands at 47 following Balawi's release, emphasizing that female detainees continue to endure harsh and tragic conditions. These include repeated acts of repression, prison-imposed starvation policies affecting all prisoners, confiscation of personal items, deprivation, humiliation, and prolonged solitary confinement, impacting both men and women. The statement highlighted that most female prisoners are held either under administrative detention based on so-called 'secret files' or on allegations of 'incitement' via social media—charges that have surged to unprecedented levels amid the escalation of the ongoing genocide. These measures target all segments of Palestinian society and have become central tools for enforcing tighter control, surveillance, and restrictions on freedom of opinion and expression.
