Nascent Yemen

Al-Mayadeen correspondent in the South:
—
The martyrdom toll from the Zionist aggression on Toulin has risen to four, in addition to nearly a dozen wounded.

Hezbollah says, ‘Israel’ is looking for ‘pretexts to continue its aggressions against Lebanon’ amid a fragile ceasefire.

Zionist forces launched a series of raids targeting the outskirts of Rashaya al-Fukhar, Khiam, and the area between Yatar and Beit Lif.

Zionist shelling targeted the heights of Iqlim al-Tuffah and Jabal al-Rayhan, as well as the outskirts of the town of Yahmar al-Shaqif in the Nabatieh Governorate.

Zionist troops also carried out combing operations near the towns of Houla, Markaba, and Khiam.

The Zionist attacks came in response to claims in Zionist media that Hezbollah had fired five rockets from Lebanon towards the settlement of Metula in the Upper Galilee, causing the Zionist military to launch missiles to intercept them.

In an official statement, the Hezbollah forces categorically rejected any involvement in the primitive rocket launchings.

This genocidal Zionist colony has breached over 1500 times the truce agreement since it was established in the auspices of the so-called peace committee that has done nothing but backing the US-ZIONIST agenda.

West Bekaa and Rashaya Residents Protest Severe Power Cuts Near Qaraoun Lake –

A large protest was held by residents of the West Bekaa and Rashaya regions near the Qaraoun Lake Dam to protest the severe power cuts affecting the area. The power outages, caused by a decision by Electricité du Liban and the Minister of Energy, have reached up to 18 hours a day for several weeks.

Yahya Dahir, head of the Lake Municipal Union, stated that after lake pollution, land loss, and youth migration, power rationing has become a heavy burden, impacting education, health, and work. He noted the lack of alternative infrastructure and the inability of residents to afford two electricity subscriptions, calling for effective solutions, sustainable planning, and wise resource use.

At the end of the protest, participants and organizers agreed to follow up with relevant authorities to find a solution and restore the situation to normal.

Lebanese Health Ministry: Zionist airstrike on Tulin, Nabatieh, South Lebanon initially resulted in the martyrdom of two people, including a child, and the injury of 8 individuals, including two children. Rescue operations are still ongoing.

Hezbollah denies any involvement in the rocket fire from southern Lebanon into the occupied Palestinian territories and reaffirms its commitment to the ceasefire agreement. It also states that it stands behind the Lebanese state in addressing this dangerous Zionist colony escalation against Lebanon. The Zionist enemy’s claims come as part of its pretexts to continue its attacks on Lebanon, which have not ceased since the announcement of the ceasefire.

The Zionist enemy claims anything possible to justify and validate its violations in Lebanon.

Zionist army statement:

“The IDF struck dozens of Hezbollah’s rocket launchers and a command center in Lebanon

A short while ago, the IDF struck dozens of Hezbollah rocket launchers and a command center from which Hezbollah terrorists were operating in southern Lebanon.

The rocket fire launched this morning (Saturday) toward the Galilee constitutes a blatant violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon and is a direct threat to the citizens of the State of Israel. The State of Lebanon bears responsibility for upholding the agreement.

The IDF will continue to act as required in order protect Zionist citizens.”

The primary beneficiary of dragging Lebanon and the region into the circle of a major explosion is “Israel”, with its security and military levels having violated Resolution 1701 and the ceasefire terms more than 1,500 times so far, while Lebanon and its resistance have fully adhered to all the provisions of this agreement.

Over 20 IOF airstrikes have targeted multiple areas in South Lebanon.

Two martyrs, including a child, and 8 wounded have been reported in an IOF airstrike on the town of Toulin in the Nabatiyeh District in South Lebanon.

A Lebanese military source told Al Jazeera that a preliminary investigation indicates the missiles fired toward the occupied territories were an older model.

Meanwhile, informed sources told Al-Mayadeen that the primitive launch method confirms Hezbollah had no involvement.

The number of martyrs continues to rise in Gaza following the resumption of the genocidal war. Moments ago, three martyrs and several wounded were reported after the occupation bombed Beit Lahia and Umm al-Nasr village in the northern Gaza Strip.

The occupation is using any pretext to continue the war, knowing very well it needs none, having already violated the ceasefire in both Gaza and Lebanon dozens of times in recent weeks.

Earlier, it has been reported that Three rockets were fired from Lebanon and intercepted by air defense systems.

Following the report Zionist army started threats:

• The army is still unable to identify the source of the rocket fire on Metula, occupied Upper Galilee.

• The artillery shelling on southern Lebanon was an initial response to the rockets, and a larger retaliation will follow. (Haaretz)

We warn from the renewed military activity on Lebanon’s southern border which could drag the country into a devastating new war

We need for all necessary security and military measures to reaffirm that only the state holds the authority over war and peace.

Lebanese PM, Nawaf Salam

The Lebanese Presidency announces that President Joseph Aoun condemns ongoing attempts to pull Lebanon back into a cycle of violence.

Before the Lebanese PM and President became fire and flame, the War Minister Katz stated,  “The Lebanese government bears responsibility for any fire from its territory. I have instructed the IDF to respond accordingly.”

The Zionist colony has been violating the ceasefire agreement since the day it was stipulated. The Zionist have been able to destroy Lebanese land and houses in the southern parts of Lebanon at double the speed since the Islamic Resistance trusted this corrupt newly-elected government and the so-called ceasefire committee and retrieved beyond the Litani River.

The Zios have just made way too many enemies.

The Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham-led (HTS) terrorists of the ruling regime in Syria have killed 72 people across the conflict-ridden country in the past 24 hours, a UK-based war monitor says.
The so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) said that 58 out of 72 were killed by “armed groups” affiliated with the HTS-aligned General Security and military factions in the provinces of Tartus and Latakia. 
The remaining murders took place in the Aleppo, Dara’a, Dayr al-Zawr, Damascus, and Homs provinces, it added.
On December 8, 2024, foreign-backed HTS militants announced the fall of the government of President Bashar al-Assad following a rapid two-week onslaught.
Earlier this month, the HTS militants and armed opposition groups engaged in gruesome massacres in the country’s northwestern coastal region.
SOHR said this week that more than 4,711 civilians, including 345 women and 194 children, were massacred in the 100 days since the ouster of the Assad government.

It also noted that that 1,805 of the murders were the result of field executions and killings based on “sectarian identity and affiliation” with the former administration.
Most of the killings occurred in March and the majority of the victims were from the Alawite religious minority.
Experts say sectarian-driven killings of civilians displayed the ruling regime’s tacit support and lack of control over the militants nominally under its command.
They also blame the dismissal of all officers and security officials of the Assad government for the current wave of violence gripping Syria.
