Israel carried out ‘2 air strikes’ on southern Lebanon
Lebanon’s National News Agency reports air strikes on Ali al-Taher and Upper Nabatieh, which caused nearby homes to shake from the blasts.
It added that a missile landed on the Darb al-Qamar road in Mifdoun but did not detonate.
The Israeli army also said it carried out the attacks, claiming its target was a Hezbollah military site where “military activity was identified”. There has been no comment from the Lebanese group yet.
Israel still occupies five positions in southern Lebanon, despite a US-brokered ceasefire last November. It was to withdraw its forces within two months, and Lebanon’s armed forces were to take control of the country’s south, territory that has long been a stronghold for Hezbollah.
Houthi leader condemns Israel’s ‘record of terror’, says attacks will continue
Yemen’s Houthi leader Abdel-Malik al-Houthi has denounced Israel and signalled defiance, hailing assassinated government leaders as “the martyrs of all Yemen”.
“The Israeli enemy, with its crimes and savagery, does not spare even children, women, and defenseless civilians,” he said during his first speech since the Israeli strikes, according to Houthi media.
“The crime of targeting ministers and civilian officials is added to the criminal record of the Israeli enemy in the region.”
Al-Houthi said the “record of the Israeli enemy is one of horrific terror” as it kills people in Palestinian territories, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Iran, also calling Israel “a criminal foe that demonstrates its savagery, criminality and aggression through practices that know no rules, no commitments, no charters, and no considerations”.
The Houthi commander said the group will keep acting against Israel in opposition to the war on Gaza, adding that “our people will not be weakened by the aggression they are facing”.
Israel’s defence minister says Hamas spokesperson killed

Earlier, Netanyahu said Israel had targeted Abu Obeida but said there was no confirmation of his fate. There has been no comment from Hamas yet.
