US-Israel genocide in Gaza

Israel's genocidal war on Gaza rages on, causing more civilian casualties and destruction of infrastructure. At least a dozen Palestinians were killed after a house was hit west of Gaza City. To the center of the besieged strip, an Israeli airstrike took the lives of eight people in the Nuseirat refugee camp. A family of four was also killed in a strike on a tent for the displaced in the southern city of Khan Yunis. Over half a dozen Palestinians died in an airstrike on Beit Lahia, as well. The director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza said new cases of malnutrition have arrived at the hospital. He added that many wounded people are losing their lives due to the lack of medical supplies amid Israel’s complete siege. The regime’s genocidal war has killed nearly 44,000 Palestinians since October last year.

Hezbollah retaliation

The Lebanese resistance movement, Hezbollah, says its fighters have targeted several Israeli positions in a series of fresh retaliatory strikes. In new attack on Tel Aviv, seven Israelis were injured. In another attack, a barrage of rockets landed on the city of Kfar Yona in occupied Palestine. A Hezbollah statement says, rockets were also launched and successfully hit an Israeli military base in the northeastern occupied West Bank. Meanwhile, the Israeli military said sirens were sounded across the occupied territories including Tel Aviv, after some 15 rockets fired from Lebanon overnight. Over the past couple of days, the resistance movement has targeted settlements and Israeli bases in the cities of Tel Aviv, Haifa and Acre. Hezbollah says the attacks are in support of the Palestinian people and in defense of Lebanon. 

Lebanon ceasefire talks

US special envoy Amos Hochstein has arrived in Beirut for talks with Lebanese officials on a ceasefire between Hezbollah and the Israeli regime. Hochstein is visiting the Lebanese capital after his trip to Tel Aviv where he held talks with Israel’s prime minister, president, and the minister of military affairs. The ceasefire talks gained momentum after Lebanese officials and Hezbollah reportedly responded positively to a Washington-backed proposal. Last week, the US ambassador to Beirut relayed the proposal to the Lebanese government via parliament speaker Nabih Berri. But sources say the Israeli regime has yet to formally respond to the plan. Both the US and France have spearheaded efforts for a ceasefire in Israel's brutal war on Lebanon. On Monday, US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said that there has been an exchange of ideas toward the full implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 1701. Some reports cited an unnamed Lebanese official as saying that the terms lie within the parameters of the resolution which ended the 2006 war.
