• Hezbollah MP affirms over 3,000 Zionist violations demand strong state response, urges national unity

    Head of the Baalbek-Hermel Bloc and Loyalty to the Resistance Bloc MP, Dr. Hussein Al-Haj Hasan, stressed that the Lebanese state must take the lead in confronting Zionist aggression.

    This includes enforcing Israeli withdrawal, securing the return of prisoners, spearheading reconstruction, and pressing the international guarantors of the ceasefire agreement to compel the Zionist enemy to implement its terms.

    “We want the state’s position to be strong, and we will continue to support it. We are an integral part of the state—within the Cabinet, Parliament, municipalities, local councils, unions, and public institutions. We are deeply rooted in the Lebanese people and national identity, and we take pride in what we have sacrificed for this country. Therefore, we are partners in decision-making and fully open to dialogue, even as others refuse to engage and resort to strange and inflammatory rhetoric,” Hezbollah’s MP Haj Hasan explained.

    Continued Occupation and Escalating Violations

    Speaking during a memorial ceremony at the Sayyed Al-Mursaleen Complex in Aramoun on Thursday, MP Haj Hasan underlined that Lebanese land remains under occupation, prisoners are still held in Israeli jails, and Zionist attacks continue to target Lebanese territory, civilians, and army personnel.

    “Lebanon is still under threat, yet some in the country do not consider this a priority, aligning instead—deliberately or not—with the narratives of those plotting against Lebanon.”

    Dr. Haj Hasan criticized the lack of action from the international community, stating, “It is the duty of the government and all state officials to intensify their pressure on the guarantors of the November 27 ceasefire agreement. Lebanon has fulfilled its obligations, while the Zionist enemy and its US backer have not. Washington not only enables but fully partners in this aggression.”

    Over 3,000 Violations, Little Response

    Hezbollah’s MP questioned the performance of the Quintet Committee overseeing the ceasefire. “What has the committee done in five months? What have they achieved?” he asked.

    “Lebanon has endured over 3,000 Israeli violations, in addition to hundreds of martyrs and wounded, widespread destruction, killings, abductions, and the demolition of homes and farmland.”

    Call for National Unity

    He called on Lebanese political parties to prioritize national interest over political point-scoring. “In a time of national crisis, one would expect a higher sense of patriotism. Yet, not a single statement has been issued by some parties condemning Israeli aggression. Instead, they launch daily attacks on the resistance.”

    “We’re not asking them to change their stance toward us,” he said, “but at the very least, they should condemn the Israeli enemy’s repeated assaults. Justifying its aggression only raises doubts about their credibility. Unfortunately, it seems some have taken it upon themselves to weaken Lebanon at any cost—even if it means staying silent in the face of Israeli crimes,” Haj Hasan concluded.

  • Zionist genocide in Gaza enters 573rd day amid ceasefire collapse and Zionist-designed famine

    Zionist occupation forces continue their genocidal war on the Gaza Strip, now in its 573rd day and 45 days since resuming full-scale aggression—following Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s withdrawal from the ceasefire agreement.

    This renewed onslaught proceeds with unwavering US political and military backing, amid deafening international silence and unprecedented global inaction.

    According to local sources, Zionist occupation forces carried out dozens of airstrikes and home demolitions, exacerbating the humanitarian catastrophe, particularly as the Zionist enemy has blocked the entry of essential food supplies since early March. This blockade has pushed Gaza’s population deeper into famine.

    Continuous Bombardment and Civilian Casualties

    Zionist warplanes bombed northern Gaza, killing Abdul Rahman Mohammad Al-Mughari in a strike on Al-Istabl Street west of Khan Younis. Five Palestinians, including three siblings, were killed in an Israeli airstrike on the Sha’sha’a area east of Jabalia refugee camp and were transferred to Al-Awda Hospital in northern Gaza.

    In Deir Al-Balah, Mariam Karaz succumbed to injuries sustained in a previous Israeli strike on the “Zeitouna” café in central Gaza.

    Fighter jets also launched intense fire belts targeting the Al-Tuffah neighborhood in Gaza City and eastern Jabalia. Meanwhile, four people, including children, were injured when Zionist forces bombed a displacement tent on Al-Ishreen Street in Al-Nuseirat camp.

    Further south, two civilians were killed, and others were injured in an Israeli strike on a group of residents south of Khan Younis.

    Zionist airstrikes also hit Beit Hanoun in the north, alongside sound bomb attacks on Al-Salib Street in central Khan Younis.

    In another deadly incident, Mohammad Moein Al-Mubayyed died after being shot by an Israeli “quadcopter” drone earlier Wednesday during attacks on Al-Nazzaz Street in the Shuja’iyya neighborhood of eastern Gaza City.

    Gaza’s Health Ministry’s daily briefing revealed that the total number of casualties since the start of Israel’s genocidal war on October 7, 2023, has reached 52,400 martyrs and 118,014 wounded. Since the resumption of Israeli aggression on March 18, 2,308 people have been killed and 5,973 injured.

    Many victims remain trapped under the rubble of destroyed homes or lie in the streets, unreachable due to the ongoing attacks and the collapse of civil defense and ambulance services.

    With full American support, the Israeli occupation has carried out a campaign of mass killings and destruction in Gaza since October 7, 2023, leaving over 170,000 Palestinians killed or wounded, the majority of whom are children and women, along with over 11,000 missing.

    Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza:

    Daily statistical report on the number of martyrs and wounded as a result of the “israeli” aggression on the Gaza Strip.

    18 martyrs (including a recovered martyr) and 77 injuries arrived at Gaza Strip hospitals over the past 24 hours.

    A number of victims remain under the rubble and on the roads, unable to be reached by ambulance and civil defense crews.

  • Zionist colony at standstill as massive wildfires keep raging across occupied territories

    Wildfires are raging near al-Quds and in other Zionist colony occupied territories for the second day as the number of settlers who have been forced to evacuate surpasses 10,000.

    Massive fires continued to blaze across areas surrounding occupied al-Quds for the second day in a row on Thursday.

    Major roads were closed and thousands of people were evacuated from several settlements. Reports said dozens had suffered injuries, including burns and smoke inhalation.

    Zionist colony’s Netanyahu has declared the situation an emergency, warning that the wildfires could reach the city if containment efforts fail.

    Netanyahu said in a statement on Thursday that 18 people had been arrested on suspicion of arson.

    “We’re holding 18 people at the moment who are suspected of arson, one of whom was caught in the act,” Netanyahu said,

    Despite Netanyahu’s claims, police sources told Hebrew media that only three people have been detained on suspicion of arson. The sources said that the three are suspected of trying to set other fires and are not involved in the massive fires near occupied al-Quds.

    In response to accusations of arson, Ramy Abdu of the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor said, “Israeli propaganda has chosen to blame its failures on Palestinians.”

    A vast part of occupied land has been engulfed by flames and thousands of acres of land have been destroyed and several areas are still ablaze.

    The Israeli regime appealed to several countries, including Greece, Cyprus and Italy for urgent firefighting support.

    The blaze, which authorities described as one of the largest in the regime’s history, erupted on Wednesday and has rapidly spread due to dry conditions and strong winds. According to the Israeli media, the cost of post-fire reconstruction could climb into the millions of dollars.

    The Zionist colony has been accused of taking the threat of wildfires lightly over the past years. Tel Aviv has been accused of ignoring years of warnings about its lack of preparedness to deal with the threat of wildfires.

    Dov Ganem, chairman of Israel’s Fire and Air Rescue Association, told the Walla news outlet that 18 years of warnings about a lack of preparedness to deal with wildfires have been met with “indifference” from policymakers.

    “It was the NF fund that decided to plant non-native trees unsuited to the climate – solely to cover up the traces of the Nakba,” he said, referring to the New Israel Fund, based in the US, which is dedicated to helping settlers.  

    Nakba is an Arabic word meaning “catastrophe” and refers to Israel’s ethnic cleansing of Palestine, its exiling of Palestinians and its attempt to erase Palestinians from their homeland in 1948.

    “It was Netanyahu who chose to spend millions on his private luxury jet, the ‘Wings of Zion,’ instead of investing in a Supertanker firefighting aircraft. It is the settlers who are repeatedly caught committing arson – racist acts of fire terrorism targeting Palestinian land, homes, and livelihoods,” he added.

    Since 2009, CMA CGM has managed Latakia Port, taking responsibility for the container terminal operations. The contract has been renewed multiple times, with the latest renewal occurring in October 2024 for an extra 30 years under the former government of Syrian president Bashar al-Assad.

    Since early March, the coastal city of Latakia has been one of the locations of ongoing massacres of thousands of Alawite civilians committed by Syrian government forces.

    The de facto officials, many of them foreign extremists, have also been kidnapping young Alawite women and taking them as sex slaves in Idlib – the former stronghold of President Sharaa, formerly known as Al-Qaeda in Syria founder Abu Mohammad al-Julani.

  • Health Minister says Government funds for reconstruction program still insufficient

    Lebanese Health Minister Rakan Naserddine on Wednesday confirmed in an interview with Al-Manar TV that the Lebanese government has voiced commitment to reconstruction program in its ministerial statement.

    Naserddine noted that this approach has been clear since the first cabinet meetings, as “the government insisted on including this item  in the cabinet’s agenda and seriously discussing it”.

    The minister revealed that the first positive step taken by the government, headed by Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, was discussing a World Bank project to rebuild infrastructure in the affected southern regions, within the framework of a dedicated reconstruction fund worth approximately $325 million.

    He explained that this amount is still insufficient to cover the actual needs, emphasizing that funding is the primary obstacle facing the government in this regard. calling for additional efforts to establish clear compensation mechanisms, along with securing new funding sources to meet the requirements of the next phase.

    Prime Minister, Dr. Nawaf Salam, affirmed on Tuesday that the government has begun working on a reconstruction plan, starting with infrastructure.

    “A damage assessment has been conducted, and work has now begun to secure resources. The government has begun negotiations with the World Bank, and has secured $325 million to date, with efforts to increase this amount.”

    In a televised speech on Monday via Al-Manar TV, Hezbollah Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem identified “reconstruction” as the second national priority and criticized the government’s delay in launching a comprehensive rebuilding program.

  • Mass evacuations ordered as wildfires engulf the Zionist colony

    Massive wildfires near occupied al-Quds force evacuations, injure Zionist settlers, and prompt the Zionist colony to declare a national emergency as officials warn of worsening weather and possible arson.

    Thick plumes of smoke blanketed highways near occupied al-Quds on Wednesday as fierce wildfires spread across wooded areas, prompting Security Minister

    Katz to declare a “national emergency.” The brushfires, among the worst in recent years, led to evacuations across multiple illegal settlements and triggered the deployment of Zionist military units to assist firefighters.


    The Zionist Magen David Adom (MDA) rescue agency reported that around 23 people were treated, with 13 hospitalized, many suffering from burns and smoke inhalation. The agency also confirmed that the alert level had been raised to its highest.”We are facing a national emergency, and all available forces must be mobilized to save lives and bring the fires under control,” Katz said in an official statement.

    As flames intensified, police closed the key highway between occupied al-Quds and Tel Aviv, and several settlements were evacuated, including areas previously impacted by fires a week earlier. Eyewitnesses reported widespread panic, with drivers abandoning vehicles and dense smoke consuming roadways near Latrun and Bet Shemesh.

    Fire chief Eyal Caspi stated, “We are apparently facing the largest fire in Israel in a decade.” With weather conditions grounding aircraft, the focus shifted to ground efforts aimed at saving lives.Economic losses
    In an initial estimate by Yedioth Ahronoth, the cost of restoration after the major fires could reach hundreds of millions of shekels.

    Meanwhile, a senior official in the Ministry of Finance, based on his prior experience, estimated that the cost of reconstruction from the major fires could exceed one billion shekels, depending on the extent of the spread.Yedioth Ahronoth noted that “the party responsible for funding the damages—whether the state or insurance companies—depends on the results of the fire investigation,” adding: “In any case, the state will have to finance the massive damage to infrastructure, roads, and forests, and assist those who are uninsured.”

    Arson accusations
    Police Minister Itamar Ben Gvir claimed that arson may be behind the fires. Israeli police later announced the arrest of a resident from occupied East al-Quds caught attempting to ignite a field in the city’s southern area. While no formal link to the major fires was declared, Ben Gvir said authorities would act against any “arson terror” and maintain vigilance against unrest.

    Emergency services positioned ambulance units near threatened communities and deployed a motorcycle team to aid civilians trapped in traffic. Authorities confirmed that at least five settlements were evacuated due to rapidly spreading fires fueled by strong winds and high temperatures.

    Ben Gvir, who oversees the fire department, visited affected areas and said additional resources were being mobilized. He also ordered the cancellation of evening events tied to Thursday’s so-called “Independence Day” celebrations to redirect firefighters and equipment to critical zones.

    Exchange of Accusations Over Failure
    Security sources, speaking to Channel 12, criticized the police and fire services, stating that they “failed, and there is a complete lack of understanding.”

    The sources added that “they ignored warnings issued by the army regarding the possibility of fires breaking out today.”

    At the same time, sharp criticism was also directed at National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, who, according to Israeli media, “obstructed the purchase of firefighting helicopters that could have helped in dealing with the major fire.”

    Foreign support sought
    The Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced it had contacted several countries, including Greece, Cyprus, Croatia, Italy, and Bulgaria, for firefighting support. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office confirmed that three firefighting aircraft from Italy and Croatia were en route to assist.

    Forecasts further warned of worsening conditions as the fires rage on, engulfing Israeli-occupied Palestinian lands.

    Why are huge wildfires in Palestine so common?
    The Israeli occupation regime’s large-scale planting of European pine trees, non-native to Palestine, as part of efforts to reshape the landscape and obscure depopulated Palestinian villages, has significantly contributed to the region’s vulnerability to wildfires.

    Unlike native Mediterranean flora, these fast-growing pines are highly flammable, with resinous wood and dense needle litter that ignites easily under dry, hot conditions. As climate change intensifies heatwaves and droughts, these monoculture forests have become tinderboxes, fueling massive, uncontrollable fires across the region and threatening both natural ecosystems and nearby communities.
