Late on Thursday, Israeli warplanes targeted the Litani River area between Yohmor al-Shaqif, Deir Seryan, and Zawtar el-Charqiyeh, along with airstrikes on Zibqin and Yater in southern Lebanon.
Israeli army spokesperson Avichay Adraee later confirmed the strikes, stating they were guided by intelligence from the military intelligence directorate and Northern Command.
He said the attacks targeted alleged Hezbollah military sites containing weaponry and rocket launchers "that posed a direct threat to Israel's home front."

Israeli Drone Attack Claims One Civilian in Shehabiyeh Town, South Lebanon
The Israeli enemy continued on Sunday its attacks on Lebanon and its sovereignty, launching a drone raid on a motorcycle on the Shehabiyeh-Kfardounin highway in south Lebanon. This comes as Israeli attacks and violations continue across Lebanon, two days after a major airstrike targeted Beirut's southern suburbs, causing damage that displaced hundreds of families. A preliminary count conducted by the Beirut Reconstruction Committee showed that the attack completely destroyed nine buildings, while 71 buildings were damaged by Israeli shelling, in addition to 50 cars and 177 businesses. Also on Sunday, the southern suburbs of Beirut (Dahiyeh) witnessed intense reconnaissance aircraft activity at a medium altitude.

Gaza: Israeli Occupation Forces Intensify Attacks as Humanitarian Crisis Deepen
On the 83rd day of Gaza's ongoing war, the Israeli occupation forces carried out two deadly attacks near aid distribution points in the southern and central parts of Gaza. Dozens of people lost their lives or were injured in these strikes. The Government Media Office confirmed it is fully prepared to guard aid convoys and help deliver supplies to those in need. However, the so-called Gaza Humanitarian Foundation admitted it failed to distribute aid properly. A sad morning on the third day of Eid Al-Adha, as this bereaved family bid farewell to a loved one who was shot dead by Israeli occupation forces while desperately waiting for food outside the U.S. aid distribution center in southern Gaza. — Quds News Network (@QudsNen) June 8, 2025 Sources in Gaza's hospitals reported that since Sunday morning, Israeli airstrikes killed 21 Palestinians across different areas of the strip. Meanwhile, resistance groups set up ambushes to attack Israeli soldiers, causing further casualties. One source from Nasser Medical Complex said two bodies were recovered after Israeli shelling in the Ma'an area east of Khan Yunis, in southern Gaza. Another from Al-Shifa Hospital reported that eight Palestinians were martyred Israeli in attacks on Jabalia al-Balad, in the north. An elderly man and a young girl were among those injured during Israeli shelling in the Al-Atatra neighborhood, in Beit Lahia, north of Gaza. BREAKING: Two Palestinians were just killed in an Israeli attack on Ma'an neighborhood, southeast of Khan Younis, according to local sources. — Quds News Network (@QudsNen) June 8, 2025 Photos captured ongoing bombardments in the Qizan al-Najjar and Qizan Rashwan areas south of Khan Yunis. Bombing also hit the Batn al-Sameen area, where Israeli planes flew low over the city. Gaza is under a heavy military push by Israeli forces. The Civil Defense in Gaza said Israel killed 15 people in the al-Sabra neighborhood of Gaza City. Dozens more were trapped under rubble, injured, or wounded. Palestinian Mujahideen mourned their Secretary-General, Asaad Abu Sharia, who was killed in an Israeli airstrike targeting him and his family in al-Sabra. New Ambushes Despite the brutality of the aggression, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), previously announced that its fighters had blown up a tunnel on Friday targeting an Israeli infantry force of six soldiers, killing and wounding them in the Murtaja area, southeast of Khan Yunis. In the northern Gaza Strip, the Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad movement, said its fighters on Friday ambushed an Israeli force holed up inside a house, during which they detonated reverse-engineered explosive devices and shells in the Tel al-Zaatar area east of Jabalia camp. The Al-Quds Brigades added that they shelled a barrage of mortar shells at a gathering of Israeli soldiers and vehicles advancing near the eastern line of Khan Yunis. Since October 7, 2023, the occupying entity, with American support, has been committing genocide in Gaza, killing, starving, destroying, and displacing civilians, ignoring international calls and orders from the International Court of Justice to halt it. The war of extermination has left more than 180,000 Palestinians dead and wounded, most of them women and children, and more than 11,000 missing. Hundreds of thousands have been displaced, many of them children, and the famine has caused widespread destruction.

Gaza rescuers say Israeli fire kills 36, six near aid center
by Naharnet Newsdesk 08 June 2025, 10:46 Gaza's civil defense agency said Saturday that Israeli forces had killed at least 36 Palestinians, six of them in a shooting near a US-backed aid distribution center. The Israeli military told AFP that troops had fired "warning shots" at individuals it said were "advancing in a way that endangered the troops". The shooting deaths were the latest reported near the aid center run by the Gaza Humanitarian Fund (GHF) in the southern district of Rafah, and came after it resumed distributions following a brief suspension in the wake of similar deaths earlier this week. Meanwhile, an aid boat with 12 activists on board, including Swedish climate campaigner Greta Thunberg, was nearing Gaza in a bid to highlight the plight of Palestinians in the face of an Israeli blockade that has only been partially eased. Civil defense spokesman Mahmud Bassal told AFP that at around 7:00 am (0400 GMT), "six people were killed and several others wounded by the forces of the Israeli occupation near the Al-Alam roundabout", where they had gathered to seek humanitarian aid from the distribution center around a kilometer away. AFP is unable to independently verify the tolls compiled by the civil defense agency or the circumstances of the deaths it reports. Samir Abu Hadid, who was there early Saturday, told AFP that thousands of people had gathered near the roundabout. "As soon as some people tried to advance towards the aid center, the Israeli occupation forces opened fire from armored vehicles stationed near the center, firing into the air and then at civilians," Abu Hadid said. The GHF said in a statement it had not distributed aid on Saturday because of "direct threats" from Hamas. Later Saturday, the Israeli army said an operation in Gaza City resulted in the killing of Asaad Abu Sharia, reportedly head of the Mujahideen Brigades. The armed group is close to Hamas ally Islamic Jihad that Israel has also accused over deaths of hostages seized from Kibbutz Nir Oz near the border. The army said he had taken part in the bloody attack on Nir Oz when Hamas launched its October 7, 2023 attack on Israel. It said he was "directly implicated" in the killings of Shiri, Ariel and Kfir Bibas, a family who became a symbol of seized hostages for many in Israel. - Activist boat nears Gaza - The GHF, officially a private effort with opaque funding, began operations in late May as Israel partially eased a more than two-month-long aid blockade. UN agencies and major aid groups have declined to work with it, citing concerns it serves Israeli military goals. On Saturday, the health ministry in Hamas-run Gaza said that the overall toll for the Gaza war had reached 54,772, the majority civilians. The UN considers these figures reliable. The war was sparked by Hamas's October 2023 attack on Israel, which resulted in the deaths of 1,218 people on the Israeli side, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally of official figures. Israel has come under increasing international criticism over the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza, where the U.N. warned in May that the entire population was at risk of famine. The aid boat Madleen, organized by an international activist coalition, was sailing towards Gaza on Saturday, aiming to breach Israel's naval blockade and deliver aid to the territory, organizers said. "We are now sailing off the Egyptian coast," German human rights activist Yasemin Acar told AFP, saying they expected to reach Gaza by Monday. The Palestinian territory was under Israeli naval blockade even before Hamas's October 2023 attack and the Israeli military has made clear it intends to enforce it. A 2010 commando raid on the Turkish ship Mavi Marmara, which was part of a similar attempt to breach Israel's naval blockade, left 10 civilians dead. - Evacuation order - The Israeli military has stepped up its operations in Gaza in recent weeks in what it says is a renewed push to defeat Hamas, whose October 2023 attack sparked the war. On Saturday, the military issued evacuation orders for neighborhoods in northern Gaza, saying they had been used for rocket attacks. Also on Saturday, Hamas released a photograph of one of the remaining hostages, Matan Zangauker, appearing to be in poor health, with a warning that he would not survive. His mother, Einav Zangauker, speaking at a protest in Tel Aviv, said "I can no longer bear this nightmare. The angel of death, Netanyahu, continues to sacrifice the hostages". During the October 2023 attack, militants abducted 251 hostages, 55 of whom remain in Gaza, including 31 the Israeli military says are dead.
