❗️Israeli army radio:
"Starting Sunday, aid will be distributed in Gaza under the US plan through private American security companies.
An information mechanism will be established for Gaza residents regarding the distribution method, and four distribution centers will be set up, three of which will be in Rafah and one in the central Gaza Strip, south of the Netzarim axis.
Distribution will be conducted according to the 'one package per family' mechanism, whereby a representative from each family will be able to attend the distribution center and receive a food box for their family for a full week.
In addition, establishing centers in locations south of the Netzarim axis and in Rafah will help accelerate the evacuation of residents southward and serve the IDF's goal of completely emptying the northern Gaza Strip of its civilian population."
❗️Israeli army:
"The IDF recently attacked a military site containing rocket launchers and weapons in the Bekaa Valley with fighter jets. Activity by the terrorist organization Hezbollah was detected at the site. In addition, terrorist infrastructure, rocket launchers, and missiles of the terrorist organization Hezbollah were attacked in the southern Lebanon area.
The presence of the weapons in the area and the activity of Hezbollah terrorists at the site constitute blatant violations of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon.
The IDF will continue to act to remove any threat to the State of Israel and prevent any attempt by the terrorist organization Hezbollah to establish itself."

"More than a hundred Palestinian martyrs every day, hundreds of wounded, displacement and starvation, and the world is watching, even participating.

Trump did not sleep at night, and every American and Western official condemned, made statements, denounced, and denounced. This duality is what makes the people of our region take up arms, and it is justified."
