One person was martyred on Monday following a drone strike by the Israeli occupation targeting a vehicle in the town of Deir Kifa, in the Tyre district of southern Lebanon, according to the country's Ministry of Health. Later, a second martyr was confirmed after another Israeli drone targeted a motorcycle in the vicinity of Beit Lif in the Bint Jbeil district, using two missiles. "فيديو من موقع الاعتداء الإسرائيلي الذي استهدف سيارة في بلدة #دير_كيفا – قضاء صور.#لبنان #الميادين_لبنان Mayadeen's correspondent in southern Lebanon reported that an Israeli drone dropped a stun grenade over the town of Aita al-Shaab. Lebanon's National News Agency also confirmed that another drone dropped a stun grenade near a residential home on the outskirts of Kfar Kila. These incidents are part of the ongoing violations by the Israeli occupation of the ceasefire, as it continues its assaults on villages and towns across the South and the Bekaa, resulting in multiple martyrs and injuries. On Sunday, the occupation launched a strike on the town of Burj Rahhal in the Tyre district, wounding nine civilians. Additionally, a young girl sustained critical injuries and was transferred to intensive care following an Israeli airstrike on the town of al-Zrariyeh in the Saida district, the Health Ministry reported. Israeli occupation warplanes also launched a raid on the outskirts of Bouslaiya and bombed areas between the towns of Ain Qana, Sarba, and Houmin al-Fawqa. Four consecutive airstrikes also hit the outskirts of Irzay in the Saida district. In a related escalation, Israeli warplanes intensified their aggression with a strike on the outskirts of Bouday, west of the Baalbek district, followed by two additional airstrikes on the outskirts of nearby Flaoui.

One killed in Israeli airstrike on al-Khiam, southern Lebanon
A person was killed on Saturday after an Israeli drone strike hit a residential home in al-Khiam in southern Lebanon, according to a statement from the Lebanese Ministry of Health. Concurrently, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that the attack involved two missiles launched by an Israeli drone targeting the vicinity of al-Khiam, escalating tensions along the southern Lebanese border. This comes just one day after one Lebanese citizen was killed, and five others were injured in an Israeli airstrike on the village of Nmairiyeh in South Lebanon. An Israeli drone reportedly struck a vehicle moving between Namiriyeh and al-Sharqiya in the south of Lebanon with more than one missile, Al Mayadeen's correspondent noted. Another drone strike targeted a moving vehicle in the southern Lebanese village of Yater as well. Our correspondent in South Lebanon reported on Friday that an Israeli drone dropped a bomb on a pick-up vehicle before it detonated in the border village of Kfar Kila, while another drone dropped a bomb on the al-Dhahira village. Al Mayadeen's correspondent also revealed that an Israeli infantry force invaded the southern border and detonated a single room built 800 meters into Lebanese territory. One person was martyred on Thursday and two others were wounded after an Israeli drone struck a motorcycle in the town of al-Mansouri, in the Tyre District, South Lebanon, according to a statement by the country's Ministry of Health. An Israeli drone also struck commercial shops in Yuhmur al-Shaqif, a southern town in Lebanon's Nabatieh District, firing two missiles at the area. This comes as Israeli occupation forces continue to violate the ceasefire, persisting in their attacks by targeting villages and towns in South Lebanon and the Bekaa region, as well as the Southern Suburb of Beirut, while still occupying five strategic points in the south.

Top German court rejects case over US drone strikes in Yemen assisted by base in Germany
BERLIN — Germany's highest court on Tuesday rejected a case brought by Yemeni plaintiffs who argued the German government failed in a duty to protect relatives who they say were killed in a 2012 drone strike against an attack controlled with help from a U.S. military base in Germany. Ruling in a case that has been making its way through the German judicial system for over a decade, the Federal Constitutional Court found the German government can have a concrete duty to protect foreign citizens abroad in some cases.

Drone attack shuts Iraq oil field run by US company
IRBIL, Iraq: A drone strike forced a US company to suspend operations at an oil field in Iraq's autonomous Kurdistan region Tuesday, amid a wave of similar attacks targeting the region's energy infrastructure. The Kurdistan natural resources ministry said the Sarsang oil field in Duhok province was hit, calling the strike 'an act of terrorism against the Kurdistan Region's vital economic infrastructure.' The attack followed a similar drone strike a day earlier in neighboring Irbil province. HKN Energy, the US company, said Tuesday's blast occurred at about 7:00 a.m. (0400 GMT) at one of its production facilities in the Sarsang field. 'Operations at the affected facility have been suspended until the site is secured,' it said in a statement. A fire broke out following the explosion, which did not cause any casualties. Emergency response teams have contained the blaze, the company said later in an update. In the past few weeks, there has been a spate of drone and rocket attacks mostly affecting Kurdistan. Long plagued by conflict, Iraq has frequently experienced such attacks, often linked to regional proxy struggles. The explosion in Sarsang field occurred a day after three explosive-laden drone attacks were reported in Kurdistan, with one drone shot down near Irbil airport, which hosts US troops, and another two hitting the Khurmala oil field causing material damage. There has been no claim of responsibility for those attacks. But, on July 3, the Kurdistan authorities said a drone was downed near Irbil airport, blaming the Hashed Al-Shaabi – a coalition of pro-Iran former paramilitaries now integrated into the regular armed forces. The federal government in Baghdad rejected the accusation. The latest attacks come at a time of heightened tension between Baghdad and Irbil over oil exports, with a major pipeline through Turkiye shut since 2023 over legal disputes and technical issues. In May, Iraq's federal authorities filed a complaint against the autonomous Kurdistan region for signing gas contracts with two US companies, including HKN Energy.
