Hezbollah retaliatory operations

The Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah has hit Israel’s Carmel base in Haifa, causing chaos and casualties in the Israeli-occupied city. Hezbollah said the base was targeted by Fadi-1 missiles, adding that the attack was carried out in response to Israel’s aggression and crimes against civilians. According to the Israeli military, at least 15 missiles were fired from southern Lebanon toward areas in northern occupied Palestinian territories, including Haifa. At least six Israelis have been injured in the attack. There are also reports that a restaurant in Haifa has suffered a direct hit.

US-Israel Gaza genocide

Palestinians in the Gaza Strip continue to face a relentless onslaught as the US-Israeli genocidal war on the blockaded territory is about to enter its second year. In one of the attacks, 10 civilians, mostly children, were injured after the regime hit the tents of the displaced people inside al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in the central city of Deir al-Balah. Israeli warplanes also struck a house in the al-Shati refugee camp in Gaza City, killing several Palestinians, including a woman and a girl. To the north, an Israeli drone strike targeting the Jabalia refugee camp killed a member of the UN Agency for Palestinian refugees. A Palestinian journalist was also killed in northern Gaza. Incessant Israeli strikes have already pushed Gaza’s vital infrastructure, including health facilities, to the brink of collapse. As many as 23 out of 38 hospitals in Gaza are now out of service. Authorities say nearly one-thousand healthcare workers have been killed. The war has so far claimed the lives of more than 41,800 Palestinians and injured some 97,000 others.

Iran anti-Israel operation

Iran’s President says his country’s recent missile strike against Israel was aimed at containing the brutality of the regime and preventing it from spreading its attacks across the region. Masoud Pezeshkian added that Iran’s retaliatory move was based on the UN charter and within the framework of International law. Pezeshkian was speaking in a phone call with Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof. The Iranian President also said that his country is not seeking war and conflict at all. During the phone conversation, Pezeshkian criticized Western countries for their silence on Israel’s terror actions, including the assassination of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran. For his part, the Dutch premier said West Asia does not have the capacity for more tensions, calling on all parties to avoid escalation. Schoof added, his country has asked Israel to agree to a Gaza ceasefire deal as soon as possible.
