"Following further investigations, it turned out that he was wanted by all security agencies in Beirut's southern suburbs,' MTV reported.
Two of his associates had been previously arrested on charges of 'forming an IS cell' and 'having ties to terrorist fugitives in the Ain el-Hilweh camp,' the TV network added.

by Naharnet Newsdesk 13 June 2025, 15:56 Lebanon's National News Agency said Friday that an Israeli interception missile exploded over the southern Lebanese town of Ibl al-Saqi, as Israel's Channel 14 said two interception missiles were fired at Iranian drones over Syria and Lebanon. An Israeli interception missile later landed on the al-Hasbani River in south Lebanon, NNA reported. Alert sirens later wailed in Israeli settlements near Lebanon's border as two Iranian drones were shot down by the Iron Dome over northern Israel.

Israel set to deport eight activists, including French MEP, over Gaza boat
Eight pro-Palestinian activists including a French member of the European Parliament will soon be forcibly deported from Israel, three days after the Israeli navy prevented them from sailing into Gaza, their legal advisers said on Thursday. Four other members of the 12-strong crew aboard the charity vessel, including Swedish campaigner Greta Thunberg, agreed to leave Israel voluntarily on Tuesday, hours after the navy had brought them ashore. The other eight crew refused to leave, accusing Israel of acting illegally, and have been held in a detention centre while an Israeli court reviewed their legal status. However, Israeli rights group Adalah, which has provided the activists with legal assistance, said the group had lost their battle against repatriation. French MEP Rima Hassan and five other activists have been taken to Tel Aviv airport and will be flown out of the country in the next 24 hours, Adalah said in a statement. The remaining two crew members will be expelled on Friday afternoon. "Their continued detention and forced deportation are unlawful and a part of Israel's ongoing violations of international law," Adalah said in a statement. There was no immediate confirmation from Israel which earlier this week dismissed the Gaza-bound sea mission as a pro-Hamas publicity stunt. "Greta and her friends brought in a tiny amount of aid on their celebrity yacht. It did not help the people of Gaza. This was nothing but a ridiculous gimmick," Foreign Minister Gideon Saar told reporters on Tuesday. Israel has imposed a naval blockade on Gaza since Hamas took control of the coastal enclave in 2007. It tightened its grip significantly after Hamas-led militants rampaged through southern Israel on October 7, 2023, killing more than 1,200 people and taking 251 hostages, by Israeli tallies. Israel's retaliatory offensive against Hamas has since killed nearly 55,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza health officials, and reduced much of the territory to a wasteland.

Israeli drone strike kills one, wounds 3 in Beit Lif
by Naharnet Newsdesk 8 hours One person was killed on Wednesday in an Israeli strike on a village in southern Lebanon, the health ministry and Israel's military said, the latest deadly attack since a November ceasefire. "The raid carried out by an enemy Israeli drone on the town of Beit Lif, in the Bint Jbeil district, resulted in one martyr and three people injured," read a statement from the ministry. The official National News Agency said the strike targeted the courtyard of a house in the town, adding that a missile hit the homeowner's car. The Israeli military later confirmed the attack, saying in a brief statement that it had "struck and eliminated a Hezbollah 'Radwan Force' terrorist in the area of Beit Lif in southern Lebanon". Israel has regularly bombed its northern neighbor since the November ceasefire that sought to end more than a year of hostilities with militant group Hezbollah, including two months of full-blown war. The agreement required Hezbollah fighters to withdraw north of the Litani river, about 30 kilometers from the Israeli border, and dismantle all military infrastructure to its south. It also required Israel to withdraw its troops from Lebanon, but it has kept them in five positions it deems "strategic".
