'Israel' deepens incursion in Syria's Quneitra region: Exclusive
The source indicated that the operation was accompanied by a series of overnight raids, during which occupation forces searched for "Syrians who had cooperated with Iran" under the previous Syrian government. According to the source, masked Syrian individuals, reportedly collaborating with the Israeli military, helped identify those alleged to have coordinated with the Iranian military during the Israeli war on Lebanon.
The local source told Al Mayadeen that Israeli forces also transported prefabricated structures from the nearby town of al-Adnaniyah, placing them behind the newly constructed mounds. The fortifications reportedly reached a height of approximately seven meters, the source added.
As part of the ongoing incursion, Israeli occupation soldiers arrested six individuals, including a child, from the Quneitra countryside.
The incursion comes amid a widening pattern of Israeli military operations inside Syrian territory. On July 4, Israeli forces reportedly entered the village of Rakhleh in western rural Damascus near the Lebanese border.
That same day, Al Mayadeen sources reported that a special Israeli unit conducted an airborne landing in the Yaafour area, approximately 10 kilometers from Damascus. The operation was reportedly supported by three helicopters flying over the region, signaling a high-level military deployment deep inside Syria.
These actions form part of a broader pattern of Israeli violations across southern and western Syria, further intensifying tensions in the already volatile border regions.

Israel's Netanyahu to convene security meeting on expanding Gaza war
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was due to meet with a small group of senior ministers on Thursday to discuss plans for the military to take control of more territory in Gaza, despite mounting criticism at home and abroad over the nearly two-year-old war there. Netanyahu will convene the security cabinet following a three-hour meeting this week with the head of the military, which Israeli officials described as tense, saying the military chief had pushed back on expanding the campaign. Opinion polls show that most Israelis want the war to end in a deal that would see the release of the remaining hostages. Netanyahu's government has insisted on total victory over the Palestinian militant group Hamas, which ignited the war with its deadly October 2023 attack on Israel. The idea of Israeli forces pushing into areas it does not already control in the shattered Palestinian enclave has generated alarm in Israel. The mother of one hostage on Thursday urged people to take to the streets to voice their opposition to expanding the campaign. Reuters

Cabinet to meet again today on Hezbollah disarmament
by Naharnet Newsdesk 07 August 2025, 13:47 Lebanon's cabinet is set to meet again on Thursday to discuss the thorny task of disarming Hezbollah, a day after the Iran-backed group rejected the government's decision to take away its weapons. With Washington pressing Lebanon to take action on the matter, U.S. envoy Tom Barrack has made several visits to Beirut in recent weeks, presenting officials with a proposal that includes a timetable for Hezbollah's disarmament. Amid the U.S. pressure and fears Israel could expand its strikes in Lebanon, Prime Minister Nawaf Salam said Tuesday that the government had tasked the army with developing a plan to restrict weapons to government forces by the end of 2025. The decision is unprecedented since the end of Lebanon's civil war more than three decades ago, when the country's armed factions -- with the exception of Hezbollah -- agreed to surrender their weapons. The government said the new disarmament push was part of implementing a November ceasefire that sought to end more than a year of hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah. That conflict culminated last year in two months of full-blown war that left the group badly weakened, both politically and militarily. Hezbollah said on Wednesday that it would treat the government's decision to disarm it "as if it did not exist," accusing the cabinet of committing a "grave sin." It added that the move "undermines Lebanon's sovereignty and gives Israel a free hand to tamper with its security, geography, politics and future existence." The Amal Movement, Hezbollah's main ally headed by Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, also criticized the move and called Thursday's cabinet meeting "an opportunity for correction." Iran, Hezbollah's military and financial backer, said on Wednesday that any decision on disarmament "will ultimately rest with Hezbollah itself." "We support it from afar, but we do not intervene in its decisions," Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi added, saying the group had "rebuilt itself" after the war with Israel. Two ministers affiliated with Hezbollah and the Amal Movement walked out of Tuesday's meeting on disarmament in protest. The two other ministers did not attend the session since they were abroad. Hezbollah described the walkout as a rejection of the government's "decision to subject Lebanon to American tutelage and Israeli occupation." Referring to Thursday's cabinet session, State Minister for Administrative Development Fadi Makki, a Shiite who is close to Salam, said Thursday that he "will not bear the approval of crucial decisions of this magnitude without the presence of the Shiite ministers." "Without completing the political process and if the Amal and Hezbollah ministers do not attend today, the cabinet session will not serve the public interest," he cautioned. Citing "political sources" with knowledge of the matter, pro-Hezbollah newspaper al-Akhbar said the group and its Amal allies could choose to withdraw their four ministers from the government or trigger a no-confidence vote in parliament by the Shiite bloc, which comprises 27 of Lebanon's 128 lawmakers. Israel -- which routinely carries out air strikes in Lebanon despite the ceasefire, saying it is targeting Hezbollah fighters and infrastructure -- has already signaled it would not hesitate to launch destructive military operations if Beirut failed to disarm the group. Israeli strikes in south Lebanon killed two people on Wednesday, according to the Lebanese health ministry.

What options for Hezbollah after govt's decision to disarm it?
by Naharnet Newsdesk 07 August 2025, 12:09 The government has decided to task the army with setting a plan to disarm Hezbollah. AFP looks at how the government's decision may be implemented, and whether the Iran-backed militant group can still block it. - Why is the move important? - Tuesday's announcement was the first time a Lebanese government has announced it would disarm Hezbollah, the only armed faction that kept its weapons in the aftermath of the 1975-1990 civil war. Hezbollah has kept its arms in the name of resistance against Israel, which occupied Lebanon's south until 2000. The decision effectively strips Hezbollah's weapons arsenal of political legitimacy, breaking with past government statements that recognized the "resistance" alongside the Lebanese army. The balance of power in Lebanon has shifted after a recent war between Israel and Hezbollah left the group badly weakened, and after the fall of the group's close ally Bashar al-Assad in neighboring Syria. Unprecedented Israeli strikes on Hezbollah backer Iran in June have further weakened its stance. Previous moves to limit or do away with Hezbollah's weapons and logistical network have led to major political and security crises. In May 2008, when the Lebanese government decided to shut down the group's wired communications network, clashes erupted with Hezbollah using its weapons against political opponents in Beirut and beyond. The violence killed at least 65 people. The group's arsenal has remained a divisive issue in Lebanon, with opponents demanding the state control all territories and the government have the sole power to declare war and peace. - What can Hezbollah do? - Hezbollah on Wednesday rejected the government's decision, calling it a "grave sin" and saying it will treat it "as if it did not exist". But the armed group has few choices, which all appear to come at a great cost. Hezbollah could escalate politically by having the four ministers affiliated with it and its allies resign. It could also disrupt the work of parliament, or incite chaos by mobilizing its armed supporters to the streets. Any domestic unrest blamed on Hezbollah would likely have major repercussions for the group's image among Lebanese. "Hezbollah, as much as possible, would want to reduce the chance of itself entering a confrontation with the army, because it knows that the entire country would be against it except for its supporters," said David Wood, a senior Lebanon analyst at the International Crisis Group. "It would be an absolute disaster for its image," he added. Hezbollah lawmaker Ali Ammar dismissed the possibility of any confrontation with the army, saying the two forces "understand" each other. Hezbollah could relaunch attacks against Israel, but this option could easily prove devastating with the country still reeling from last year's war. "Going into war right now, again, will be very devastating to Hezbollah because it does not have a supply line. It lost a lot with the collapse of the Syrian regime," said military analyst Riad Kahwaji. "Its intelligence capabilities, its logistical capabilities have all been severely affected." The war with Israel saw much of Hezbollah's senior leadership killed and a large part of its military arsenal destroyed, as did swathes of Beirut, Lebanon's south and other areas. Receiving weapons shipments from Iran via Syria has become more difficult as Lebanese and Syrian authorities have tightened border controls, and funding has come under stricter oversight. Hezbollah could agree to disarm, but a Lebanese source had told AFP it "would not do so without something in return". Tehran's position may also affect any decision. The Lebanese group may "play for time", according to Atlantic Council researcher Nicholas Blanford. "They can't fully disarm. I think that's impossible for Hezbollah." - How will Lebanon be affected? - Lebanon is under intense Arab and Western pressure to disarm non-state actors, a key demand to secure international support as it emerges from years of political and economic crises. "We must choose: either collapse or stability," President Joseph Aoun said last week. Should Hezbollah insist on keeping its arsenal, Beirut will find itself in a difficult position. "If Hezbollah is determined to keep the weapons, this would be very difficult for the Lebanese government to force it to give them up," said Blanford. "If they can't do it politically," the researcher said the government would not "send the Lebanese army against Hezbollah". "So it has to be a question of a compromise and some kind of agreement, which is not going to be easy." Meanwhile, Israel has already signaled it would not hesitate to launch destructive military operations if Lebanon fails to disarm Hezbollah, as stipulated in the ceasefire agreement that ended their latest war.
