Statement Issued by the Protest of Southern Women in Lahj Governorate
Lahj / Special
Saturday, 17 May 2025
Today, Saturday, 17 May 2025, the women of Lahj Governorate organised a peaceful protest expressing the resilience of Southern women and their determination to secure a dignified life for their people, amid the economic and living challenges faced by the southern governorates.
The participants raised slogans reflecting clear and just demands, focusing on the necessity of providing basic services — the backbone of societal stability — including electricity, water, healthcare, education, and the timely payment of salaries.
The statement issued by the protest included the following:
1. We strongly condemn the continued deterioration of living and economic conditions that burden women and families in the South, and we hold the responsible authorities accountable for finding urgent and effective solutions.
2. We demand the swift provision of basic services in Lahj and other southern governorates, and the regular disbursement of salaries, as this constitutes the first line of defence for family and societal stability.
3. We affirm the right of the people of the South to self-determination and the restoration of their independent state with Aden as its capital — a legitimate demand and an inalienable right.
4. We call for stabilising the currency exchange rate and lowering prices, and for serious measures to stabilise the economy and protect citizens from the consequences of inflation and the collapse of purchasing power.
5. We demand that living, service-related, and economic issues be included as top priorities in the UN roadmap, to ensure genuine attention is given to the suffering of the South.
6. We stress the need to politically and socially empower Southern women, and to enhance their participation in all aspects of public life and decision-making, as empowering half of society is the foundation of national progress.
At the conclusion of the statement, we affirm that Southern women have always been — and will continue to be — active partners in national and humanitarian struggle, a voice that cannot be silenced, and they will persist in their journey until freedom, dignity, and justice are achieved for their people.

Lebanon says four killed in Israeli strikes
A series of Israeli air strikes killed four people in southern Lebanon, Beirut's Ministry of Health said Friday, offering a toll for attacks that took place the day before. The Israeli military said on Thursday that it had targeted Hezbollah 'infrastructure that was used for producing and storing strategic weapons,' including what the country's defense minister described as the group's 'biggest precision missile manufacturing site.'

Israeli drone kills one in south Lebanon, tensions rise between UNIFIL, residents
A man was killed Thursday in an Israeli drone strike on southern Lebanon, the health ministry said, after Israel announced it was carrying out 'special, targeted operations' against Hezbollah. Separately, tension was reported on Thursday between residents and the UN peacekeeping mission in Lebanon. Despite a November truce that ended a war between Israel and Hezbollah, Israel has kept up its strikes on Lebanon, targeting the group's sites and operatives but also occasionally members of their Palestinian ally Hamas. 'One man was killed and two others wounded in an Israeli enemy drone strike that targeted a motorcycle in the village of Mansouri' near the coastal city of Tyre, the ministry said. On Tuesday, a drone strike hit a car in a nearby village, killing one person. Israel's military said it had 'eliminated' a Hezbollah member involved in developing the Iran-backed group's artillery capabilities in the south. Three others, including a Palestinian Hamas member allied with Hezbollah, were killed in a separate strike on northern Lebanon that same day. On Wednesday, the Israeli military said its troops entered Lebanon to dismantle Hezbollah infrastructure near the Israeli border. The November 27 ceasefire sought to end more than a year of hostilities with Hezbollah, including two months of all-out war that left the group severely weakened. Under the ceasefire deal, Hezbollah was to pull its fighters back north of the Litani river, about 30 kilometers (20 miles) from the Israeli border, leaving the Lebanese army and United Nations peacekeepers as the only armed parties in the region. Israel was required to fully withdraw its troops from the country but has kept them in five places it deems strategic. On Thursday, a patrol of the UN Interim Forces in Lebanon was blocked and pelted with stones by 'several individuals in civilian clothes' in the southern village of Wadi Jilu, UNIFIL said. 'The LAF arrived at the scene and the situation was brought under control,' UNIFIL spokesman Andrea Tenenti said in a statement, referring to the Lebanese Armed Forces. In recent weeks, several incidents have seen civilians in Hezbollah strongholds confront UNIFIL patrols. The mission is part of an international body tasked with monitoring the ceasefire agreement.
