Lebanon Under Israeli Fire Anew: Most Violent Strikes on Dahiyeh Since 2024 Ceasefire
The Israeli enemy launched on Thursday a wave of strikes targeting residential buildings in Beirut's southern suburb, Dahiyeh, on the eve of Eid Al-Adha. More than 20 strikes, including preliminary raids, targeted at least four locations across the Dahiyeh, in the most violent strikes since the ceasefire between Lebanon and the Zionist entity took effect on November 27, 2024 following a 66-day brutal Israeli war.

In a statement, the Lebanese Presidency voiced 'firm condemnation of the Israeli aggression' and called the strikes a 'blatant violation of an international agreement, as well as the basic principles of international and humanitarian laws and resolutions, on the eve of a sacred religious occasion,' referring to Eid Al-Adha. أعرب رئيس الجمهورية العماد جوزاف عون عن إدانته الشديدة للعدوان الإسرائيلي مساء اليوم على محيط العاصمة اللبنانية بيروت ، مؤكداً 'ان هذه الاستباحة السافرة لاتفاقٍ دولي، كما لبديهيات القوانين والقرارات الأممية والإنسانية، عشية مناسبة دينية مقدسة، إنما هي الدليل الدامغ على رفض… — Lebanese Presidency (@LBpresidency) June 5, 2025 President Aoun said the attacks prove the Israeli 'rejection of the requirements of stability, settlement and just peace in our region.' The Lebanese president accused the Israeli occupation of using Lebanon as a 'mailbox' to send a message to the United States. For his part, PM Salam also issued a statement condemning the strikes calling on the international community to assume its responsibilities to deter 'Israel' from continuing its attacks and oblige it to fully withdraw from the points it still occupies in south Lebanon. Commenting on the Israeli aggression, Speaker Nabih Berri said that his stance matches with that of President Aoun 'in all its national aspects.' 'Israeli hostility does not target a sect or a region, but rather all of Lebanon, the Lebanese, and the Arabs,' Speaker Berri stated, in remarks carried by Al-Manar.

Yemen: 4 martyrs, 16 injuries in US aggression on Sanaa
Four civilians were killed and 16 others, including women and children, were injured in a US airstrike that targeted a house in the Shaab al-Hafa area of Sanaa, Yemen's capital, the Health Ministry reported on Sunday. The ministry's spokesperson, Anis al-Asbahi, strongly condemned the 'blatant US aggression' and its targeting of civilians, calling it 'a full-fledged war crime that violates all international norms and laws.' He described the incident as 'another entry in the criminal record of the United States, adding to its dark history of crimes against Yemen, its land and people.'

Since the fall of the former Syrian regime in late 2024, Israeli military operations against targets inside Syria have escalated. The Israeli occupation forces have increasingly encroached into Syrian territory, expanding beyond the established 'buffer zone.' The occupation has also established new military posts in strategic locations, such as the slopes of Mount Hermon, placing its forces in a position to monitor and target Syrian government forces across the Daraa, Quneitra, and Damascus countryside regions.
