    Israeli Drones Fly Over Dahieh as Lebanese Army Issues Threatening Statement

    Israeli⁢ drones flew over Beirut’s southern suburbs as the Lebanese Army ⁣warned it would ⁣suspend cooperation with the​ ceasefire monitoring committee⁢ if Tel Aviv’s violations continue.

    According to webangah News Agency, ‌Lebanese sources reported that three people were wounded in ​an Israeli airstrike on Nabatieh.

    The‍ Emergency Operations Center under Lebanon’s Health Ministry stated that three Lebanese citizens were injured in yesterday’s Israeli airstrike on Ain Qana village in Nabatieh.

    Together, Lebanese sources confirmed ⁣Israeli drone flights over ⁣Beirut’s southern suburbs (Dahiyeh).

    The Lebanese Army Command condemned Israel’s attacks and violations, notably last night’s ‍strikes on Ain Qana and southern Beirut suburbs, ​calling ⁤them a clear attempt by‍ Israel ⁣to undermine stability ​in ⁢Lebanon and exploit positive developments.

    The army stated: “Our forces promptly ‌coordinated with the Ceasefire Monitoring Committee upon ‍detecting ⁢Israeli ​threats to prevent an ⁢attack.Despite⁣ enemy objections, our patrols deployed to multiple positions for reconnaissance.”

    While ‍reaffirming commitment to UN Resolution 1701 and the cessation of hostilities ⁢agreement, the army warned: “Israel’s continued violations‌ and refusal to‌ coordinate with the⁣ monitoring committee weaken both the committee’s role and our military institution.‌ This coudl force‍ us to suspend cooperation with the ‘Mechanism’ regarding reconnaissance operations.”

    The statement emphasized: “Israel has escalated attacks ‌against Lebanon recently, targeting civilians, residential buildings, and infrastructure​ across multiple‍ regions-including last night’s assaults on southern Beirut suburbs and south Lebanon-while continuing its ‍occupation of Lebanese territory. These​ daily breaches‍ show complete disregard for ceasefire mechanisms.”

    The ‌army vowed: “Despite these‌ challenges, we remain determined to fulfill our ⁢complex mission of extending state authority over all Lebanese ⁣territory and​ ensuring citizen⁣ security.”

    Overnight,after‍ issuing urgent warnings to residents of Dahiyeh and Ain qana,Israeli‌ forces instructed civilians to‍ evacuate ⁣eight buildings in Hadiyeh (El-Hadath),Harat⁤ Hreik (Haret Hreik),burj El-Barajneh (Borj El Barajne),plus two structures in Ain Qana.

    Within hours following these alerts:

    • At least ⁤ten warning explosions rocked Dahiyeh before Israeli jets conducted over 20 precision strikes on designated targets;
    • Ain Qana ​village was hit three times⁤ by separate ⁤attacks.

  • US Pushes to Prolong Syria Presence; Counterterrorism Claims Dismissed as Pretext

    US Pushes to Prolong Syria Presence; Counterterrorism Claims Dismissed as Pretext

    An American magazine has questioned U.S.policy in Syria, stating that despite the shift in Syria’s governance, Washington has‍ no intention⁤ of ‌ending its military presence in the country.

    According to a report by ‍ webangah News Agency,citing ⁤The Intercept,the U.S. magazine‌ published an article‍ asserting that America does not plan‌ to withdraw its troops ⁢from Syria even as political control shifts within ​the nation.

    The Pentagon confirmed that Washington’s ⁤new⁣ policy toward ⁣Damascus does not⁣ include ending its⁣ occupation⁤ of Syrian territory.‌ Currently, approximately 1,000⁣ U.S. troops remain stationed in Syria.

    The U.S. military has‍ operated in Syria⁣ for years as ⁢part of its complex⁤ and ofen⁢ confusing regional strategy. Late last ‌year,‌ Bashar al-Assad’s government was overthrown following a swift offensive by rebel forces led by Abu Mohammad al-Julani. Recent reports indicate that the U.S. ⁤is closing three of its eight small military bases in Syria.

    Experts argue‍ that while the withdrawal from a handful of ⁣bases has been delayed for some time,it remains essential for ⁤any meaningful shift in America’s regional strategy​ and policy.

    “Over 1,000 American troops remain stuck in Syria with ⁢no clear mission or timeline⁢ for their return,” said Rosemary Kalinik, Middle‌ East ‍program director at Defense⁣ Priorities.​ “These forces are ​remnants of the war‌ against ISIS-but ISIS was defeated over five ⁤years ago and lost all its territory. It’s time for these soldiers to come home.”

    When asked whether the U.S. intends to withdraw from Syria entirely, a Pentagon spokesperson⁢ stated last April: “The American ⁣presence⁤ will decrease to‍ fewer than 1,000 troops but will not end completely.”

    “Fear of an ISIS resurgence has long been ​used as justification,” Kalinik added, “but recent history in ​Afghanistan proves such claims false-America doesn’t need ground ⁣forces to counter any potential reemergence.”

    In her interview with The intercept, she noted: “The ⁣primary argument for staying‍ in Afghanistan was ⁤preventing terrorism⁤ from groups like al-Qaeda or ISIS-yet these groups ‍never directly targeted americans there.”

    “Keeping troops in ⁢Syria exposes them to retaliatory attacks,” ‍Kalinik concluded. “It’s almost like handing hostages over⁢ to America’s enemies-ready targets whenever they choose.”

  • Gideon’s Chariots’ Threat to Tel Aviv: Growing Rifts Among Zionists

    Gideon’s Chariots’ Threat to Tel Aviv: Growing Rifts Among Zionists

    Israel’s “Chariots of Gideon” operation has not only failed to achieve its objectives in⁤ Gaza⁢ but has also deepened⁢ rifts within Tel Aviv’s political and military circles.

    According to the English section of webangah News ‍Agency, as early May, the Israeli‍ military announced a large-scale operation in Gaza dubbed “Chariots of‍ Gideon,” claiming ⁤its ⁣goals were to​ achieve declared war objectives-especially freeing captives and dismantling‌ Hamas, both‍ militarily and politically.

    Deep contradictions in the Chariots of Gideon‍ plan

    The operation’s strategy remains​ unclear, with none of its ⁢stated goals achieved so far. A situational assessment by ‍Tel Aviv University’s Institute for National Security Studies (INSS) reveals‌ stark contradictions between Israeli military and political ⁢leadership regarding the plan.

    Researchers at INSS report uncertainty over whether Israel ever intended to fully execute the Chariots of Gideon ​plan. some evidence suggests parts of it may⁣ have been a pressure‍ tactic against Hamas rather⁣ than​ an actionable strategy.

    Israeli analysts‌ doubt‌ the feasibility of ​completing all phases of the operation, ‌highlighting⁤ importent disagreements between the military​ and cabinet. Each side has competing interests in exaggerating or downplaying its‍ successes.

    These contradictions reflect a lack ​of consensus on decisive military action or achieving absolute victory in Gaza. Tensions have escalated⁢ between IDF Chief Herzi halevi’s General Staff ‌and Prime ⁣Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s cabinet over continuing ⁤operations versus pursuing prisoner exchanges or ceasefires.

    Dangerous consequences for Israel

    A report by Sharvit Baruch (head of Israel’s Global‍ Research Program) and Tomer Connor ⁣(coordinator at INSS) raises concerns about Chariots⁤ of Gideon’s ​compliance with international law.The plan‌ involves relocating ‍70% of Gaza’s population southward into ​so-called “humanitarian​ zones”‌ managed ​by private firms under IDF oversight.

    Baruch notes these zones lack legally​ required safeguards-such ‍as ⁤guaranteeing basic needs or ⁣secure returns-risking systematic forced displacement that could constitute crimes against‌ humanity or ethnic cleansing.

    The researcher emphasized that long-term ⁣israeli control over Gaza⁤ would legally obligate it as an occupying power to provide ⁢food, healthcare, and essential services-commitments Tel Aviv currently cannot or will not fulfill.Growing international isolation,⁤ even among allies, poses strategic threats exacerbated by Netanyahu government’s ⁢hardline policies.

    Tomer Connor added: “Amid ICC pressures and eroding ⁣global support, we face a dilemma: how to ‌combat Hamas within international legal frameworks without ‌committing future-liability crimes.” He criticized conflicting statements​ between political ‍and military leaders as deepening operational ‌uncertainties while stressing adherence to international law remains imperative.

    The Zionist researcher warned hidden⁢ motives-like permanently displacing Gazans-could violate international statutes under this plan.

    A‌ phase chaos for occupiers
    Prominent Israeli analyst⁢ Amos Harel (Haaretz) reported Netanyahu is seeking scapegoats for Chariots’ ⁣failures amid growing IDF-cabinet tensions ⁤after Halevi refused responsibility for ⁣non-military outcomes.

    Harel expects divisions will worsen amid political/economic crises as extremist parties threaten⁤ coalition exits over ultra-Orthodox conscription exemptions-signaling turbulent shifts ahead.
