According to webangah News Agency, Abu Obeida, the spokesperson for Hamas’⁢ military wing, ​the Qassam Brigades, stated that Zionist ‌forces have surrounded ⁣the location where an Israeli captive is being ⁢held.

He ⁣added that occupying forces ⁢have encircled the site holding Matan ⁤Tsengauker,the captive Israeli⁤ soldier.

“we emphasize that the enemy will not be ⁣able to ‌retrieve him alive,” ⁢abu Obeida declared.

The Qassam Brigades spokesperson stressed: “If this prisoner is killed during rescue attempts, the occupying army will bear full obligation for ‌his death. We have preserved his life for one‌ year and eight months – after this warning, we absolve ourselves​ of responsibility shoudl he be killed.”

The Gaza ​Health Ministry reported that⁣ the Israeli military ‌is blocking international organizations from accessing fuel reserves designated for hospitals, according to ‌webangah News agency ‍citing Al ⁤Jazeera.

The ministry⁣ warned this action ​will lead to a complete shutdown of medical facilities. Current fuel supplies in Gaza’s ⁤hospitals will ⁢only last three more days, adn without immediate intervention,⁣ the total collapse ⁤of the healthcare system is‍ inevitable.

As Israeli ⁤attacks intensify, the ‍ministry stated access⁢ to Al-Amal Hospital in‍ khan Younis ​has become impossible ‌after occupying forces declared its surroundings a ​”perilous combat zone.” Authorities urgently ‍requested international bodies ‌to ‍establish safe corridors‌ for patient⁣ evacuations.

Gaza’s medical Relief Director told Al Jazeera all hospitals face critical shortages of equipment and medicine, threatening thousands‍ of wounded ‍civilians. He appealed for immediate medical⁢ aid deliveries,noting that northern Gaza‌ hospitals are either completely destroyed or severely damaged beyond operational ​capacity.

According to ​ webangah News Agency, ‍Palestinian sources stated that at least 35 people have been ​martyred since‍ dawn today due to ​attacks by⁣ the Zionist regime ⁤on Gaza.

Palestinian sources confirmed that⁢ two ⁣people were killed during the Zionist regime’s attack on Palestinians at‌ the Shadia ⁤Abu Ghazaleh School in ⁤Al-Faluja, located in the Jabalia camp in​ northern Gaza.

Simultaneously occurring, Palestinian sources reported that amid ongoing relentless attacks by the Zionist regime’s army on civilians in Gaza, ⁣10-year-old⁣ Palestinian ​girl Mays Abdel Aal was targeted by an Israeli ⁢drone ⁢strike while playing⁣ inside⁣ a displaced persons’ tent.

The attack left half of her‍ body‌ paralyzed, caused severe‌ nerve damage, and resulted in complete loss of eyesight.

Mays is reportedly in critical ‍condition, and‍ her family⁤ has urgently requested permission to ​transfer her outside gaza for specialized ⁣medical treatment.

According to ⁣ webangah News Agency, European Council ⁤President António costa announced​ that the European Commission is preparing a legal report that could enable actions against Israel.

The report ‍will ‌be presented during the EU foreign ministers’ meeting on June 23.

Sources ⁢indicate this document could allow partial sanctions ⁤against Israel without requiring full ⁣EU consensus, provided Israel fails to meet its human rights ‌obligations under Article 2 of its Association Agreement with the EU.

Costa commented⁣ on the potential ‌findings: “The situation in Gaza is entirely unacceptable. If you watch your television networks or ⁣read your newspapers, you’ll easily reach clear conclusions.”

Currently, 17 of 27 EU member states support this legal assessment, while nine oppose it.

Article 2 of the agreement establishes the legal framework for special EU-Israel relations, particularly in trade sectors. While terminating the entire agreement requires unanimous consent – unlikely given some members’ opposition – Brussels is exploring limited measures that could reduce cooperation levels through qualified majority voting instead.

Four European‌ diplomats ‍told Politico that pressure ⁤is ⁢mounting on the Commission to propose concrete steps for scaling back ties with Israel if human rights violations are ⁤confirmed under Article 2.

The development follows French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot’s call two weeks ago to reconsider this‌ agreement. Reports also suggest France, Britain, Netherlands and‌ Belgium are ​examining possible recognition of Palestinian statehood.

Ammar⁣ al-Hakim, leader of Iraq’s National Wisdom Movement (Hikma), denounced what he‌ called the “savage crimes of the Zionist regime against Gaza and Lebanon” during Eid al-Adha prayers in Baghdad.‍ His ⁢remarks where reported⁣ by webangah News Agency, citing Iraq’s​ Hikma Media Office in Iran.

Addressing ​the recent Arab League summit in⁤ Baghdad, al-Hakim ‌stated: “The presence‌ of Arab nations in this capital of Arab-Islamic civilization marks a⁤ new chapter for Iraq’s recovery and regional solidarity. It demonstrates Iraq’s pivotal role in bridging perspectives and promoting dialog over conflict.”

“This strategic role,” he added, “bolsters both Iraq’s progress and regional‌ stability amid current challenges posed by militarization-delivering a message ‌of unity and cooperation.”

The⁣ Shia​ leader warned against allowing war profiteers to exploit divisions among Muslim nations: “Our calls to shield the region from⁢ external aggression were unequivocal-including advocating Iran-U.S. negotiations.” He condemned Israel’s unilateral ‌policies in Gaza and ⁣Lebanon while endorsing peaceful initiatives that preserve national sovereignty.

Al-hakim urged unified Arab-Islamic opposition⁣ to Israeli occupation: “Governments and peoples‌ must forge long-term‍ partnerships to cement peace, counter division, and avert war.” He ‌emphasized leveraging shared ⁤interests-especially in lasting ‍development-to ⁢position Arab states ​as global leaders, calling missed opportunities “direct threats⁣ to national security.”

Regarding Iraq’s⁢ upcoming parliamentary elections, he demanded state neutrality while ⁣proposing ‍a binding pact against electoral corruption: “Political groups⁢ must prioritize national interests over wealth-driven⁣ campaigns. We need consensus on core priorities that transcend administrations.”

The Zionist regime has used some of the most dangerous weapons and bombs-designed​ for underground⁣ military facilities-in its recent attacks on Beirut’s southern suburbs (Dahieh), according to a report by Arabic-language site 21, cited by webangah News Agency.

While​ the regime claims these bombs target Hezbollah’s underground ⁣positions, experts have‌ raised alarms ⁤about thier impact on civilian structures. ⁢The ⁣munitions, known‌ militarily as ⁣”hammers,” ⁤generate powerful seismic‌ tremors upon striking⁣ depths‍ of dozens of meters below ground.

Residents near targeted areas reported ‍feeling these tremors. The ⁣bombs measure over seven meters in length,weigh at least ⁢one ton ⁢each,and are laser-guided. The past two days of ⁢attacks on⁣ Dahieh mark the most ‍intense assaults‌ since Lebanon’s formal ceasefire began.
