Israel bombs vehicle in Lebanon
A vehicle has been hit in the Iqlim al-Kharroub region of Lebanon. According to Lebanon’s National News Agency, the vehicle was struck by a drone, but no casualties were reported.
The Israeli army has not commented, but it regularly bombs Lebanon ostensibly to target Hezbollah, with air raids on Monday killing at least five people.

Israeli forces destroy house of Palestinian detainee in West Bank
Israeli forces have blown up the house of a Palestinian detainee who was accused of carrying out an attack last December that killed an Israeli and wounded others, according to media reports.
Israeli forces demolished the house of Thabet Masalma in Beit Awwa, west of Hebron in the occupied West Bank. The Wafa news agency reported that Israeli forces raided the village, cordoned off the home and placed explosives inside before detonating them.
It said the demolition raid prompted fighting with residents, with Israeli forces firing ammunition and tear gas, injuring two Palestinians.
The demolition comes as Israeli government ministers have threatened a tough response in the wake of yesterday’s shooting attack that killed six people, including collective punishment such as demolishing suspects’ family homes and deporting family members.
Two Palestinians arrested in occupied West Bank raids
Israeli forces have arrested two Palestinians from Hebron governorate in the occupied West Bank.
The Wafa news agency is reporting that one of the men was arrested in a village west of the city of Dura, southwest of Hebron, while the other was arrested in the town of Bani Na’im, east of Hebron, after Israeli forces searched their homes.
Israeli forces also set up checkpoints and closed roads in the Hebron area.
Israel imposing collective punishment, ‘civil sanctions’ after Jerusalem shooting
A day after the shooting attack in Jerusalem, collective punishment is in full swing in the occupied West Bank.
There has been a complete siege and lockdown of areas where Palestinian gunmen came from. The areas are closed off, with barriers put in the streets. Israeli forces are also mapping out their homes for demolition.
Israel’s defence minister says there will be more, far-reaching and severe consequences.
We’ve already seen some of that this morning. He said he is revoking all work permits for everyone in those towns, meaning at least 750 permits will be revoked for Palestinians who want to go into Israel to work, because the economy in the West Bank is in a dire situation.
Israel is also imposing “civil sanctions” on the family members of the attackers, even though they were not involved. Yesterday, we also saw the arrests of some of the family members of the attackers, including the father and uncle of one of them.
