⭕️ Al-Manar Correspondent:

"[Israeli occupation] forces have dug a long trench on the western side of the road leading from the town of Houla toward the Israeli "Abbad" site, in preparation for placing metal wires inside the trench on Lebanese land belonging to the town. By doing so, the enemy forces have effectively seized and occupied an area beyond the five demarcation points.

As a result, the entire area extending from Abbad to the newly established site on the Houla-Markaba road is now occupied territory, in addition to the already surveyed lands of the town of Hunin, which include many citizens' homes.

This enemy aggression is taking place under the watch of the UNIFIL international forces and the deployment points of the Lebanese army."

❗️The Government Media Office in Gaza:

"We condemn the horrific massacre committed by the Zionist Nazi occupation army this afternoon in the town of Beit Lahia, northern Gaza Strip, which resulted in the martyrdom of nine civilians, including several photographers and workers in the humanitarian and relief field. They were documenting the activities of one of the charitable organizations in the region.

We see this crime as a continuation of the war crimes committed by the occupation against our people, and a new escalation of its aggression, especially as it coincides with reports of orders from the Israeli political level for military escalation. This reflects the premeditated intent to commit the crime and the disregard for all international laws and conventions. Netanyahu, who is wanted by international justice, has not only committed the crime of besieging Gaza and depriving its residents of all means of life, but has also escalated the crimes of killing and targeting citizens.

We reject all the claims promoted by the occupation and deny its allegations to justify its crime. We confirm that the targeted team was entirely civilian and working in an area where there is a shelter center, performing a media documentation task for a charity organization. They were not in a prohibited area or one that posed any danger to the occupation army.

We have noticed the deliberate escalation of the occupation’s field crimes against citizens recently, where more than 150 martyrs have been killed since the ceasefire agreement took effect last January, including 40 martyrs in the past two weeks. All of them were unarmed civilians, including children who were gathering firewood or inspecting their homes when the occupation army targeted them.

We warn of the danger of the continued crimes of the occupation and hold the mediators and the international community accountable for their political, legal, and moral responsibilities to stop these horrific crimes and prevent the occupation from continuing its aggression against our people.

We call on the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court to take urgent measures regarding the crimes committed by the occupation and its leaders, including the prime minister, who is wanted for justice in relation to the war crimes committed against our people."

"The US airstrikes on Yemen are a blatant aggression against an independent state and an encouragement for the Israeli enemy entity to continue its unjust siege on Gaza.

The US president's claim of a threat to international navigation in the Bab al-Mandab Strait is false and misleads international public opinion. The maritime blockade announced by Yemen in support of Gaza is limited only to Israeli shipping until humanitarian aid is allowed into Gaza, in accordance with the ceasefire agreement between the Palestinian resistance and the enemy entity. This Yemeni blockade was implemented after a four-day grace period for mediators.

We affirm that international navigation in the Red Sea will remain safe from Yemen's side, and that the American airstrikes mark a return to the militarization of the Red Sea, which is the real threat to international navigation in the region."
