Israeli airstrikes target Eastern Lebanon
Shafaq News – Beqaa Israeli warplanes launched a series of airstrikes on Monday in Lebanon's eastern Beqaa Valley, targeting areas near Baalbek in what the Israeli military described as strikes against Hezbollah. According to the Israeli army, the raids hit multiple sites near the Syrian border, an area it considers a stronghold of Hezbollah. Unlike Lebanon's south, which has seen near-daily exchanges of fire since October 2023, eastern regions such as the Beqaa Valley have rarely been attacked since the November ceasefire. #عاجل 🔸جيش الدفاع بدأ شن غارات تستهدف أهدافًا تابعة لقوة الرضوان التابعة لحزب الله في منطقة البقاع🔸بدأت طائرات سلاح الجو قبل قليل بتوجيه من هيئة الاستخبارات والقيادة الشمالية بمهاجمة عدة أهداف إرهابية تابعة لحزب الله في منطقة البقاع في لبنان. 🔸في اطار الضربات تم استهداف… — افيخاي ادرعي (@AvichayAdraee) July 15, 2025 Lebanese media reported that Israel carried out more than 15 strikes, including three on the mountainous outskirts of Buday and Brital, located in the Anti-Lebanon range.

Syria shuts border crossing as Latakia wildfires spread
Shafaq News – Latakia Syria closed the Kasab border crossing with Turkiye on Saturday after wildfires sweeping through Latakia's coastal mountains neared the frontier, a Syrian border official said. On X, Mazen Alloush, Director of Public Relations at the General Authority for Border and Maritime Crossings, clarified that the closure is 'temporary' due to the advancing fires. 📌 تنويه لأهلنا المسافرين عبر معبر كسب الحدودينُحيطكم علماً بأنه تم إغلاق معبر كسب من الجانب التركي مؤقتاً، وذلك بسبب الحرائق المندلعة في جبال الساحل واقترابها من المنطقة الحدودية.نرجو منكم تفهّم هذا الإجراء الطارئ، ونسأل الله السلامة لأهلنا في ريف اللاذقية وأن يُطفئ الحرائق… — مازن علوش (@mazen_alloush) July 12, 2025 Meanwhile, Syria's Ministry of Agriculture Spokesperson Diab Sakhouri told Shafaq News that roughly 15,000 hectares of forest and farmland have been destroyed, based on initial field assessments, while "comprehensive surveys are still underway.' The wildfires, ongoing since early July, have scorched vast areas across northern and western provinces, driven by extreme heat, arid winds, and inaccessible terrain. In some regions, landmines and unexploded ordnance left from past conflicts have further impeded access. A central command center—overseen by the Emergency and Disaster Management Ministry—is directing more than 80 field teams, supported by military units, civil defense forces, and international partners. Ground teams from Iraq, Jordan, and Turkiye have joined the response, while 16 aircraft from Syria, Turkiye, Jordan, and Lebanon are conducting coordinated aerial firefighting operations. Damascus has also formally appealed to the European Union for assistance.

Israel targets Hezbollah sites in southern Lebanon
Shafaq News – Beirut The Israeli military has conducted multiple operations in southern Lebanon, destroying sites it claims were used by Hezbollah to store weapons and prepare attacks. An official Israeli army statement said the strikes were based on intelligence identifying Hezbollah military infrastructure across several locations. One of the operations took place in Jabal Balat, where forces from the 300th Brigade reportedly demolished a weapons depot and a launch site for rocket-propelled munitions. In another mission near the remote area of Labouneh, Israeli troops uncovered and destroyed hidden combat equipment, including a multi-barrel rocket launcher, a heavy machine gun, and dozens of improvised explosive devices (IEDs), according to the statement. #عاجل 🔸قوات جيش الدفاع تدمر بنى تحتية ارهابية خاصة بحزب الله في جنوب لبنان🔸بناء على معلومات استخبارية ورصد وسائل قتالية وبنى تحتية إرهابية لحزب الله في عدة مناطق في جنوب لبنان توجه المقاتلون لتنفيذ عمليات خاصة ومركزة بهدف تدميرها ومنع إعادة تموضع حزب الله في المنطقة.🔸في… — افيخاي ادرعي (@AvichayAdraee) July 9, 2025 Ceasefire Strained As US Pushes Hezbollah Disarmament Plan These operations come amid ongoing violations of the US-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, which took effect on November 27, 2024. Despite the agreement, Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon have continued on an almost daily basis. Lebanese authorities, supported by French officials and humanitarian organizations, report nearly 4,000 violations by Israeli forces as of early July 2025. At least 232 people have been killed and over 530 injured since the ceasefire began. One of the most contentious points remains Israel's continued occupation of five military outposts in southern Lebanon. While the ceasefire initially required a full withdrawal by January 26, 2025—later extended to February 18—Israeli forces have maintained their positions, prompting formal protests from Beirut. Israel maintains that its actions are defensive and aimed at deterring Hezbollah from launching new attacks. It also accuses the group of violating the ceasefire by failing to fully withdraw from areas south of the Litani River. Amid the rising tension, the United States has introduced a new diplomatic initiative to de-escalate the conflict. In June 2025, US Special Envoy Tom Barrack presented a plan to the Lebanese authorities to disarm Hezbollah within four months. The proposal includes a complete halt to Israeli airstrikes, Israeli withdrawal from remaining occupied sites, and a substantial aid package for Lebanon. President Joseph Aoun and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam have received the plan, and while details of Lebanon's reply remain undisclosed, Barrack described their response as 'spectacular' and welcomed the Lebanese government's stated commitment to the principle of state control over all arms, as outlined in the 1989 Taif Agreement. Hezbollah has yet to formally respond. Its leader, Naim Qassem, has publicly rejected the idea of disarmament while Israeli forces remain in Lebanon and airstrikes continue. Qassem asserted that Hezbollah's arsenal is essential for national defense.

New Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon
Shafaq News/ On Monday, Israeli warplanes struck areas around al-Jarmaq, al-Mahmoudiya, and Mount Niha in southern Lebanon. The Israeli military claimed hitting rocket launch platforms, weapons depots, and military installations north of the Litani River, describing Hezbollah's presence there as a "flagrant breach of security arrangements between Lebanon and Israel." #عاجل 🔸جيش الدفاع هاجم مواقع عسكرية ومنصات صاروخية لحزب الله شمال منطقة الليطاني في لبنان🔸أغارت طائرات حربية لسلاح الجو على مواقع عسكرية لحزب الله الارهابي تحتوي على منصات قذائف صاروخية وصواريخ إلى جانب مستودعات وسائل قتالية في منطقة شمال الليطاني.🔸يشكل وجود أسلحة وأنشطة… — افيخاي ادرعي (@AvichayAdraee) June 23, 2025 Hezbollah previously denied violating the ceasefire, reiterating its commitment to the terms that apply to it, while Israel, maintains that the strikes are necessary to counter militant threats from Lebanese territory. The agreement, in effect since late last year, has reportedly been violated by Israel more than 4,000 times, resulting in hundreds of casualties.

Local sources confirmed at least ten raids targeting highland terrain and agricultural outskirts, spanning areas from al-Rihan Heights and Wadi Bargouz to the Litani River corridor.

My patience is wearing thin.' Despite the announcement of a ceasefire agreement on November 26, tensions remain elevated along the Lebanese-Israeli frontier, with Lebanese authorities reporting that Israel has carried out nearly 3,000 violations of the ceasefire since it took effect.
