Netanyahu government trying to ‘dismantle’ Israel
Israel’s opposition leader Yair Lapid says that a day has passed and not a single member of government has spoken against the “riot” at the High Court yesterday, which led to hecklers being thrown out of the court.
Members of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition did not talk about the threats, attempts to sabotage the rule of law, and about utter disrespect, he wrote in a post on X, in reference to the session where the court ruled the PM cannot, for now, fire the head of the Shin Bet internal security agency.
“There was not a single condemnation, not a single criticism, not even a word,” Lapid said. “Why? Because they planned it. Because they are anarchists. Because this government wants to dismantle the country.”
Israel pushes on with strategy to keep neighbours weak in Lebanon and Syria
Israel’s continuing attacks intend to keep its neighbours unstable, weak and fragmented, analysts say, and are contributing to the derailing of governing projects in Lebanon and Syria.
Conversations with experts, analysts and diplomats reveal a belief that Israel wants to keep the two states weak and fractured, maintaining itself as the strongest regional power.
“The Israelis believe that having weaker neighbours, as in states that aren’t really able to function, is beneficial for them because, in that context, they’re the strongest actor,” writer and researcher Elia Ayoub told Al Jazeera.
Israeli aircraft crashes in Lebanese territory
The Israeli military says the aircraft crashed earlier today due to a technical malfunction.
Israeli forces continue to target areas across Lebanon, particularly its southern regions, despite a ceasefire deal with Hezbollah. Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA) reports that an Israeli drone targeted the vicinity of a public school in the town of Ramyah earlier in the evening, but there was no immediate confirmation on potential casualties.
Israeli warplanes also conducted several mock raids over Nabatieh, Iqlim al-Tuffah and Jezzine in the south, while a drone flew continuously over Tyre and its surroundings at a low altitude.
A number of Lebanese homeowners in the town of Yater located in Tyre reportedly received threatening phone calls from the Israeli army that they will be bombed if they do not flee their houses.
At least 3 killed after more US air strikes hit Yemen
The Ministry of Health in Sanaa says at least three civilians were killed after US warplanes attacked the Sabeen district of the Yemeni capital. Several more strikes have also been reported by Houthi-run media in other areas of Sanaa, including the Bani Hushaysh district in the east.
US fighter jets also bombed Kamaran island located in the port city of Hodeidah in western Yemen.
