Israeli Occupation Forces Breach Blue Line Again, Escalating Ceasefire Violations in Lebanon
The Israeli occupation forces once again violated the UN-demarcated Blue Line on Wednesday morning, as over 50 Zionist soldiers, accompanied by two military bulldozers, crossed into Lebanese territory at the 'Bir Shouaib' area east of the southern town of Blida. The troops began excavation work at the same site where a similar breach occurred ten days ago—an incursion that was fully cleared by the Lebanese Army at the time. This latest violation came just hours after Israeli forces withdrew from Lebanese areas near Mais Al-Jabal and Blida. It was soon revealed that bulldozers had dug two large trenches and erected earth mounds in both 'Kroum Al-Mrah,' east of Mays El Jabal, and 'Bir Shouaib,' east of Blida—a clear continuation of Zionist desperate efforts to entrench control over Lebanese frontier areas. Circulating Video | Civilian footage shows Lebanese Army reinforcements heading toward the site of the Israeli incursion in 'Kroum Al-Mrah,' east of Mays Al-Jabal, late Wednesday night: Sustained Violations of UN Resolution 1701 These actions constitute a documented breach of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701, which ended the 2006 war and obligates respect for the delineated border. Additionally, the escalations form part of a broader pattern of violations by Israeli occupation forces since the internationally brokered ceasefire took effect in November 2024. Despite Lebanon's restraint and continued coordination with UNIFIL (United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon), the occupation has persisted with limited incursions, earthworks, surveillance deployments, sporadic gunfire, and intensive aerial reconnaissance over southern Lebanon.

Three Alawites killed after attack on Syria government forces
by Naharnet Newsdesk 11 June 2025, 11:44 Three Alawite civilians were killed in western Syria overnight, hours after an attack on government forces killed at least one officer, a war monitor said on Wednesday. Syrian authorities said four civilians were targeted by unknown attackers in the Tal Kalakh area near the Lebanese border, killing two of them. Since an Islamist-led offensive toppled longtime ruler Bashar al-Assad in December, the Alawite community, which he hails from, has been repeatedly attacked. Britain-based war monitor the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the three civilians were killed in Baruha village by "local armed groups" who also set fire to shops and cars. The head of security in Homs province, Murhaf Naasan, said: "Four civilians were directly targeted by unknown people, killing two of them and critically wounding two others." The deaths comes hours after Syria's state-run SANA news agency reported that a security officer had been killed in an attack in the Tal Kalakh area. In March, sectarian massacres in the Alawite heartland on Syria's Mediterranean coast saw security forces and allied groups kill more than 1,700 civilians, mostly Alawites, according to the Observatory's figures. The Islamist-led government accused Assad loyalists of sparking the violence by launching coordinated attacks on security forces. The government has since launched an inquiry.
