Yemen: 4 martyrs, 16 injuries in US aggression on Sanaa
Four civilians were killed and 16 others, including women and children, were injured in a US airstrike that targeted a house in the Shaab al-Hafa area of Sanaa, Yemen's capital, the Health Ministry reported on Sunday.
The ministry's spokesperson, Anis al-Asbahi, strongly condemned the 'blatant US aggression' and its targeting of civilians, calling it 'a full-fledged war crime that violates all international norms and laws.' He described the incident as 'another entry in the criminal record of the United States, adding to its dark history of crimes against Yemen, its land and people.'

The US carried out two airstrikes on the Shaab al-Hafa area. Additionally, US warplanes targeted Kamaran Island, west of the Hodeidah province, with four airstrikes.
This latest attack comes just days after al-Asbahi announced that at least 92 civilians have been martyred and 165 others wounded in US airstrikes on Yemen since mid-March.
Separately, on Friday, President Trump shared a video on his social media accounts, claiming it depicted the killing of numerous fighters in an American strike on Yemen, with the caption 'oops.' However, a special source for the Yemeni News Agency (Saba) refuted the claims, stating that the gathering was actually a social event held for Eid al-fitr celebrations in Hodeidah governorate, and had no connection to military operations.

Israeli Violations of Lebanese Sovereignty Persist as Beirut's Dahiyeh Steadfastly Clears Attack Aftermath
The Israeli occupation forces continued on the second day of Eid Al-Adha to violate Lebanese sovereignty and breach the ceasefire agreement in effect along the southern border. According to the Lebanese Ministry of Health, an Israeli glider dropped on Saturday a bomb near civilians in the town of Houla, wounding two individuals. Meanwhile, Israeli reconnaissance drones maintained low-altitude flights over Beirut's southern suburbs and the southern towns of Al-Zahrani, Aaqbiyeh, and Bisariyeh areas. In the aftermath of the Israeli enemy strike on multiple residential buildings in Beirut's Dahiyeh, municipal teams, civil defense units, and local organizations, including Imam Al-Mahdi Scouts, continued clearing debris and assessing damage across residential areas. According to the local Reconstruction Committee, the attack completely destroyed nine buildings, damaged 71 others, and caused destruction to 50 vehicles and 177 commercial establishments. In a televised interview with the Saudi Al Hadath TV, Information Minister Paul Morcos stated that the Lebanese Army had inspected the alleged weapons storage sites in Beirut's southern suburbs and found no evidence of any arms. 'The ceasefire monitoring committee informed Israel that no weapons were present before the strike,' Morcos added, adding that the Israeli enemy deliberately keeps Lebanon in a constant state of conflict and obstructs the army's deployment to the southern region. Separately, on Saturday, the Lebanese Army reported that, in coordination with UNIFIL, it had removed Israeli-placed earthen berms and reopened several roads in the outskirts of Mais Al-Jabal in the Marjayoun district that had been blocked by Israeli occupation forces.

Iran on Saturday blasted US President Donald Trump's travel ban on countries including the Islamic Republic, saying it showed 'deep hostility' toward Iranians and Muslims.
