Lebanese President calls for obligating Occupation to withdraw on February 18
Beirut - Saba:
Lebanese President Joseph Aoun said on Monday that Lebanon is following up on its contacts at various levels to push "Israel" to abide by the ceasefire agreement, withdraw on the specified date, and return the prisoners.
Aoun stated, during his meeting with the delegation of the Economic, Social and Environmental Council, that "the sponsors of the agreement must assume their responsibility in helping us in this."
He stressed that the Zionist enemy cannot be trusted, "and we are afraid of not achieving the full withdrawal tomorrow, Tuesday, and the Lebanese response will be through a unified and comprehensive national position."
Aoun stressed, according to Al-Mayadeen website, that "the option of war is not useful, and we will work through diplomatic means, because Lebanon can no longer tolerate a new war, and the army is ready to be stationed in the villages and towns from which the Israelis will withdraw."
The Lebanese President reiterated that the important thing is to achieve the Israeli withdrawal, while Hezbollah's weapons come within the framework of solutions agreed upon by the Lebanese themselves.
Aoun reassured the Lebanese, saying: "There is no fear of sectarian strife in Lebanon, nor of division within the ranks of the army. The army martyrs who fell during the Israeli aggression belong to all sects and from all regions of Lebanon, and the army's mission is sacred, so rest assured of that."

Death Toll of Palestinians rises to 33 amid continued Israeli Aggression Across Gaza
Gaza – SABA: The number of Palestinians martyred since early Monday in the Gaza Strip has risen to 33 due to ongoing Israeli attacks across various areas, as part of the genocide campaign launched on October 7, 2023. In the latest assault, five Palestinians were killed and others injured when Israeli forces bombed a populated house belonging to the Al-Nadeem family in central Gaza City, according to a medical source. Eyewitnesses told Anadolu Agency that several victims remain trapped under the rubble, while civil defense teams are working with extremely limited resources to rescue them. Earlier, three Palestinians were killed and others wounded when Israel targeted the upper floor of Al-Aisha School, which was sheltering displaced people in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza. The same source reported that the death toll from an Israeli airstrike on the Al-Barsh family home in Jabalia, northern Gaza, has risen from 9 to 16. The bodies of the victims were transferred to Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza and Al-Baptist Hospital in the east. Additionally, one Palestinian woman was martyred and others injured in an Israeli strike on the Junaid family home in Jabalia. Earlier Monday, four Palestinians were martyred and several others wounded in an Israeli airstrike targeting civilians near Abu Sharakh roundabout in northern Gaza. In central Gaza, one Palestinian was martyred and two others critically injured in an Israeli strike on a municipal vehicle in Al-Bureij. Eyewitnesses said the martyr was a municipal employee. No official statement has been issued by the municipality. Two fishermen were also injured by Israeli gunfire while working on the Gaza City coast. At dawn Monday, three Palestinians were martyred by Israeli gunfire while attempting to collect 'aid' near a U.S.-operated distribution center west of Rafah City. Dozens of others were injured by Israeli gunfire near the same center, which is managed by an American company with Israeli approval. One Palestinian, injured by Israeli fire while attempting to collect aid west of Rafah, died from his wounds on Sunday, according to the same medical source. Away from UN and international humanitarian supervision, Israel began on May 27 implementing a controversial aid distribution scheme through the so-called 'Gaza Humanitarian Foundation,' backed by Israeli and American entities. Distribution occurs in so-called 'buffer zones' in southern Gaza, but the plan appears to be failing due to overwhelming crowds of starving civilians and repeated Israeli gunfire on the gathered crowds, resulting in deaths and injuries. Since last Tuesday, the total number of victims at these 'aid distribution points' has reached 52 martyrs and 340 injured, with Israeli forces reportedly turning the sites into 'mass killing traps,' according to the Gaza Government Media Office and Health Ministry data as of midday Monday. Meanwhile, Israel intensified its nighttime air and artillery bombardments on various parts of Gaza, especially in the north and east of Gaza City. Eyewitnesses reported the continued demolition of residential buildings in eastern Gaza City, northern governorate areas, and east of Khan Younis in the south. They also confirmed that Israeli forces destroyed 'Al-Ansar Mosque' in Deir al-Balah after targeting it with three missiles. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print

Jordanian Foreign Ministry condemns Zionist Settlers' storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque
Amman – SABA: The Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Monday condemned the storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque by Zionist settlers, along with the provocative and unacceptable practices that accompanied it, which aim to desecrate the mosque. The ministry described these actions as a blatant violation of international law and the established historical and legal status of Jerusalem and its holy sites. The ministry's spokesperson, Sufyan Al-Qudah, affirmed Jordan's absolute rejection and strong condemnation of the repeated incursions into Al-Aqsa Mosque by extremist Zionist settlers. He described the act as a provocative and inciting attempt to impose new facts on the ground by dividing the mosque temporally and spatially. He warned of the grave consequences of these continued violations and desecration attempts, which he said would not be possible without the facilitation and protection of the extremist settlers by the occupying Israeli police. He demanded that 'Israel' immediately cease all irresponsible practices and end them without delay. Al-Qudah stressed that Al-Aqsa Mosque is a place of worship exclusively for Muslims and reaffirmed that the Jordanian Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs' Jerusalem Waqf Department is the sole legal authority responsible for managing the mosque's affairs and regulating access to it.
