Hamas condemns Israel's ‘systematic destruction' of Gaza
Hamas has said that for about a week, the Israeli military has been heavily assaulting the eastern and southern neighbourhoods of Gaza City, particularly Zeitoun. The Palestinian group said in a statement that Israel is using warplanes, artillery and explosive robots to carry out 'systematic destruction of the area as part of the savage war of extermination and the criminal plan aimed at destroying the Gaza Strip and all forms and means of life within it'. Hamas also shared a statement from senior official Mahmoud Mardawi, who said the Israeli military and violent settlers 'will not succeed in deterring our people from defending their land and property' with their attacks across the occupied West Bank. He said the 'policy of displacement through the settlers' terrorist attacks targeting Palestinian towns and villages in the West Bank will fail'. Gaza's Health Ministry reported that the casualty toll since the start of Israel's war on Gaza has reached 61,897 people killed and 155,660 others wounded. It said 70 Palestinians who were killed, including eight recovered from under the rubble or elsewhere, were brought to hospitals over the past day. At least 26 people were killed while seeking aid, and another 175 were injured. At least 1,924 Palestinians have now been confirmed killed and 14,288 injured while seeking aid. According to the ministry, Israel has killed at least 10,362 people and wounded 43,619 others since March 18, when it broke the previous ceasefire agreement and started a total blockade of aid.

Disarmament plan could trigger civil war, warns Hezbollah chief
dpa Cairo Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem has warned that a Lebanese government plan to disarm his Iran-allied movement could spark a new civil war in the country. Earlier this month, the government tasked the army to draw up the plan by August 31, and approved the 'objectives' outlined in a US proposal concerning Hezbollah's disarmament. Qasim on Friday lashed out at the government, holding it responsible for potential unrest in the country that experienced a 15-year civil war starting in 1975. 'This government is implementing an American-Israeli order on terminating the resistance even if this leads to a civil war and internal sedition,' he said in a televised address. 'The government has taken a very dangerous decision violating the charter of co-existence and it [the government] is exposing the country to a big crisis.' Qasim vowed that his Shiite Muslim group would not hand over its weapons while Israel continues attacks on Lebanon. The issue of Hezbollah's weapons has long been a flashpoint in Lebanese politics. Supporters view the group's arsenal as essential for defence against Israel, while opponents argue it undermines state sovereignty and risks dragging Lebanon into conflict. On Friday, Qasim said Hezbollah and its ally, the Amal movement, had agreed to delay street protests, which could reach the US embassy, against the disarmament plan to allow for discussion with the government 'There would be no life for Lebanon if you stand on the other side,' he said. In response, Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam rejected what he described as Qasim's veiled threat of civil war. 'No one in Lebanon today wants civil war. Threats and brandishing them are completely rejected,' he said on the social media platform X. Salam defended his government's decisions, saying they are purely Lebanese without foreign dictates.

France lambasts Israeli West Bank settlement project
France on Saturday condemned an Israeli project to construct 3,400 settlement units in the occupied West Bank, stressing that the move constitutes an egregious breach of international law. France condemns, in the strongest terms, the decision of the Israeli authorities approving the settlement project E1 (East 1), which allows the building of 3,000-plus residential units in East Jerusalem, a spokesman of the French Foreign Ministry said. France sees that such a settlement project will carve up the West Bank into two portions and dangerously erode the two-state solution, as the latter is the only way capable of ensuring enduring peace and security for both Israelis and Palestinians. The European nation emphasized that it still acts alongside its European partners to step up pressure on Israel to put an end to the colonization, including through imposing new sanctions on individuals and entities responsible for this colonization, the French spokesman underlined.
