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".

Israeli Incursion in Rural Damascus Leaves One Martyred, Seven Detained
In a pre-dawn military incursion near the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, Israeli occupation forces shot and killed a young Syrian man on Thursday in the town of Beit Jinn, west of Damascus, amid a wider sweep through border villages near Mount Hermon. According to Syria TV, the Zionist troops also detained seven young men during a series of raids in the town. The martyr, identified as Mohammad Ahmad Hamadeh, was reportedly shot at close range. His uncle, Ali Qassem Hamadeh, was among those arrested. No further details about the detainees were provided. #Syria: at dawn around 100 Israeli soldiers carried out an unprecedented raid in Beit Jin (SW. #Damascus) – an area hit by a drone strike last week. It triggered skirmishes. One resident was killed (photo) and 7 others were arrested (including the uncle of the victim). — Qalaat Al Mudiq (@QalaatAlMudiq) June 12, 2025 The incursion began before dawn, with Israeli forces advancing from positions near Qurs Al-Nafl in northern Quneitra and Tloul Al-Hamr—areas under Zionist military control—toward Beit Jinn, a town situated less than 20 kilometers from Quneitra and roughly 50 kilometers from Damascus. Witnesses reported the sounds of Israeli tanks, armored vehicles, and aircraft accompanying the operation. Syria TV described the raid as a large-scale military deployment involving approximately 100 personnel and at least 10 tanks and armored vehicles. The invading forces reportedly surrounded Beit Jinn, using loudspeakers to call out the names of individuals targeted for arrest. Tensions escalated between residents and soldiers before Mohammad Hamadeh was fatally shot. The latest operation is part of a broader pattern of Israeli violations along the border with the occupied Golan Heights. These include surveillance and drone activity, as well as direct ground incursions into Syrian territory—often resulting in the detention of civilians, including farmers and shepherds working near the separation lines.
