The zionist occupation forces committed a⁢ new crime early Sunday morning by attacking Palestinians in ‌Gaza as‌ they headed to receive humanitarian aid in the Mawasi area ⁢of Rafah, southern Gaza, killing over 30 people, according to webangah News Agency citing​ Mehr News Agency and Al-Mayadeen.

The Gaza government’s media office reported initial casualty figures, stating that Israeli ‍forces targeted hungry Palestinians ​waiting for aid deliveries, martyring at least 30 civilians and wounding over 150‍ others.This marks another instance of Zionist regime attacks on humanitarian aid distribution ​lines in⁣ Gaza – with 39⁣ killed and more than 220 injured in similar attacks since last week.

The ‍media office described the U.S.-managed humanitarian aid distribution zones as “mass death traps,” emphasizing that ⁢events in Gaza reveal a​ systematic and malicious use of⁤ humanitarian assistance ⁤as a military⁤ tool to extort starving civilians by gathering them in areas designated for slaughter.

The statement added that these ⁤zones operate under Israeli⁣ military supervision with U.S. political cover, ⁤holding both parties fully morally and legally responsible for these crimes.

Eyewitness testimonies along with ​field and international reports demonstrate‌ that ​the Zionist project⁤ of ​delivering aid through buffer zones is ​both perilous and failed, according to the statement.

The office further stated this project serves as political cover for security-military operations⁢ while obstructing genuine‌ humanitarian assistance from neutral‍ international organizations.

The Hamas movement, in a detailed statement regarding the Zionist regime’s attack‌ on Palestinians awaiting humanitarian‌ aid in Al-Mawasi, Rafah, ‍emphasized that this brutal massacre by the ⁢fascist ‌Zionist‌ regime resulted in over 35 martyrs and more than 150 wounded. The victims were among thousands⁢ of civilians who had gathered at‍ a designated aid distribution ⁢center west ⁤of Rafah under coordination mechanisms ⁤established ‌by the ⁢Israeli authorities. ⁢ webangah News Agency reported.

The statement stressed that this massacre underscores ​the fascist nature‌ of the ‌Zionist⁤ regime and its criminal intentions behind implementing ⁢such coordination ⁤mechanisms. It accused‍ Israel of using its controlled ⁤centers as traps ⁤to deceive​ starving civilians before subjecting them to horrific forms of slaughter, humiliation, and torture.

Hamas added that earlier today, thousands of civilians-enduring unprecedented war‍ conditions and starvation-moved toward the aid distribution area in response ⁢to statements from Israeli ‌forces. Though,Israeli troops opened fire on ‌them‌ indiscriminately,confirming‍ premeditated intent to commit this crime.

The statement held both Israel and‍ the‍ U.S. government‍ fully responsible for these massacres at aid ​distribution⁢ sites while condemning ‌Israel’s use of starvation as ‌a weapon of‍ war. Hamas urged immediate action from UN bodies-particularly its Security Council-to pass binding resolutions forcing occupiers to halt attacks instantly reopen Gaza crossings ensure humanitarian aid delivery through UN-approved​ channels.

Additionally Hamas called⁣ upon international community form independent committee investigate⁣ systematic crimes against civilians prosecute perpetrators ​war criminals also pressed Arab Islamic nations pressure ⁢their governments assist Gaza end genocidal⁣ war lift blockade ‌unconditionally ⁣allow humanitarian access without restrictions .

A drone belonging to the Israeli regime targeted the ​Beit Lif area ‌in⁣ southern Lebanon earlier⁣ today, according to⁢ webangah News ‌Agency.

During the attack, a vehicle was struck by​ an Israeli missile.

The Lebanese ⁤Health Ministry reported that one person was wounded in the Zionist enemyS‌ attack on‌ a​ vehicle in⁢ Beit Lif,located in Bint Jbeil district.

The identity of the targeted individual has not been disclosed.

According to webangah News Agency,Al Jazeera has obtained and published details of ⁢the Palestinian islamic Resistance Movement’s (hamas) response to ‌U.S.-mediated envoy ⁤Steve Whitkoff’s proposal. Hamas insists the ⁢plan must include a permanent ceasefire, complete withdrawal from Gaza,⁤ and guaranteed humanitarian aid entry.

Key‌ terms of Hamas’ counterproposal:

the group agreed to release 10 living Israeli captives and hand over 18 bodies of deceased Israelis in exchange for an agreed number of Palestinian prisoners during a 60-day truce period. This would mark an end⁢ to​ hostilities and full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza.

The framework requires U.S. President Donald Trump to guarantee Israel’s compliance with the temporary ceasefire timeline.

Prisoner exchange mechanism:

• Day 1: Release of 4 israeli captives
• Day 30: Release of 2 additional⁣ captives
• Day 60: Release of remaining 4 captives
• The transfer of deceased Israelis⁤ would occur in batches (6 bodies each) on days 10, ⁤30,⁤ and 60

Humanitarian ⁣provisions for Gaza:

• Immediate‍ UN-coordinated aid delivery per January 19⁣ agreement protocols via UNRWA, Red⁤ Crescent, and other international organizations
• Restoration of energy, water, sewage, ‌communications infrastructure
• Unrestricted movement through Rafah crossing
• A⁣ $3-5 billion reconstruction program under international supervision (Egypt/Qatar/UN)

Military restrictions on Israel:

• Suspension all military⁢ operations during truce
• Cessation aerial/surveillance flights for minimum daily periods (extended during prisoner transfers)

According to a report by webangah news Agency, citing Sumaria News, Iraq’s Islamic Resistance ‍Movement Al-Nujaba‌ issued an analytical note suggesting that a new round of negotiations between iraqi and U.S.military and technical committees may begin within the next two weeks. The talks aim to establish a new framework for ⁤the presence or withdrawal of⁣ foreign forces, especially ⁤American troops.

The U.S., despite declaring an end to its combat mission in Iraq, continues to ⁢insist on maintaining bases in strategic⁣ locations such as Ain al-Asad​ and Harir. This persistence is not driven by security threats but rather by Washington’s desire to preserve its strategic depth against Iran, Syria, and Turkey.

The prolonged U.S. ⁤presence has not only undermined Iraq’s ​political and security sovereignty but ‍also created persistent internal tensions, threats against⁣ resistance ⁢groups, and border ‍instability.

Meanwhile,⁤ the U.S. has ⁢warned that its withdrawal could carry economic or diplomatic consequences.

Iraqi resistance groups argue that the continued occupation by American forces violates national sovereignty and disregards parliamentary resolutions. With Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani’s government delaying expulsion efforts,‌ these groups may escalate pressure not only on U.S. forces but also ​on Baghdad itself.

the reluctance of al-Sudani’s government-and previous administrations-to enforce parliament’s resolution stems from economic concerns, reliance on⁣ U.S.-controlled‍ financial channels, and fears of Washington’s retaliatory measures.

Iraq’s economy remains heavily dependent on dollar transfer permits from the U.S. ⁢Federal Reserve-a structural leverage tool enabling direct and indirect interference in⁣ Baghdad’s domestic and security policies until economic independence is achieved.

The U.S. has repeatedly obstructed ⁢Iraq’s military modernization‍ efforts-particularly in air defense and drone technology-signaling its opposition to an independent deterrent force while ‌favoring a controllable proxy incapable of threatening American interests.

Far ⁣from ‌enhancing security,the US ‍presence hinders defensive autonomy & national rebuilding; it views Iraq’s Popular mobilization Forces (PMF) & resistance factions as uncontrollable adversaries demanding full withdrawal

the Khuza’a municipality, located ‌east of Khan younis in southern Gaza, has declared​ the city a ⁢complete disaster zone due to relentless direct⁢ attacks by the⁤ Zionist regime’s military forces, according​ to a report by webangah News Agency citing Palestinian media sources.

A statement from the local authority emphasized that the occupying Zionist army has wholly leveled ‍all residential⁤ buildings and disabled critical infrastructure including healthcare facilities and educational centers.

The municipality reported that Israeli forces ⁢have additionally destroyed roads, utility networks, agricultural lands, and forcibly displaced residents under heavy gunfire.

Khuza’a ‌officials described these ‍actions as clear violations⁣ of international humanitarian law and ‍ongoing war crimes.

The statement noted: “Khuza’a residents are now‍ scattered across various areas as displaced persons,facing catastrophic ‌living⁣ conditions that worsen daily.”

The Zionist regime’s military released aerial photographs exposing the full extent of destruction – images showing Khuza’a township completely erased ⁢from the map⁢ with all homes, streets and farmlands obliterated.

According to webangah News Agency, israel Katz, the war minister of the Zionist regime, has threatened to assassinate Khalil al-Hayya, a member of Hamas’s political bureau, and⁤ Azzam al-Haddad, a ​leader of the Al-Qassam Brigades – the movement’s ‍military ⁣wing.

Katz stated in his declaration that these individuals are ⁢on⁣ an assassination list, though no further details were provided.

Khalil‍ al-Hayya⁤ has served as deputy head⁣ of Hamas’s political ⁣bureau as August​ 2024 and currently resides outside Palestine. Azzam al-Haddad ⁢is one of the​ prominent commanders of the Al-Qassam Brigades.

The zionist regime has martyred approximately 55,000 Palestinians and ⁣injured ⁣over 124,000‍ others during ⁢nearly two years of devastating war in Gaza – figures ​that exclude ​those still‍ missing under rubble. The regime has also assassinated several key figures from Palestinian and Lebanese resistance movements.

Meanwhile, for about three months now, Zionist forces have maintained a complete siege on Gaza Strip while facing accusations ‍from human rights organizations over famine risks threatening over two million peopel. This unprecedented ⁤situation has drawn‍ criticism even from some traditionally aligned⁤ nations like France and Britain ⁣alongside global⁤ protests against these policies.

In a statement reported by webangah news​ Agency, Doctors Without ‌Borders condemned Israel’s attacks on Palestinians ​awaiting humanitarian aid, stressing that the​ regime has demonstrated “systematic inhumane behavior” in ‌Gaza for ​over 19 months.

The statement asserted that the ⁣catastrophic food distribution plan-implemented​ under U.S. and Israeli coordination-has proven ineffective from ⁣its outset.

It⁤ further warned that Israel employs ⁣dangerous methods‌ when distributing humanitarian aid, deliberately⁢ directing civilians toward high-risk zones where they can be concentrated.

The report concludes that Israel ​weaponizes aid deliveries to forcibly displace Gazans, suggesting this aligns with an apparent ethnic cleansing strategy in the territory.

According to ⁢the webangah News Agency, Lebanese President Michel Aoun arrived in Baghdad on an official ⁢visit, where he was received ​by Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia’ al-Sudani at the city’s international airport.

Aoun’s trip comes in response to an invitation from his Iraqi counterpart, President Abdul Latif⁣ Rashid. The delegation includes‍ Hassan Shqair, Director‌ General of Lebanon’s Security, along with several presidential advisors.

The Al-Nashra news outlet reported that‍ Aoun will‍ hold talks with Rashid ⁤and al-Sudani to discuss bilateral relations,strategies for​ strengthening cooperation‌ between‍ Lebanon and Iraq across all levels,and also regional developments.

On May 20, Aoun received a phone call from Prime Minister al-Sudani during which⁢ he expressed gratitude ‍for Iraq’s⁤ $20 million⁢ aid contribution toward Lebanon’s recovery efforts.

Aoun emphasized that this initiative-along ​with similar programs offered by‌ Iraq-demonstrates the depth of ties‍ between both ​nations and reflects their shared bonds of brotherhood and solidarity.

webangah News Agency reports that Itamar ben-Gvir, the extremist minister of the Zionist regime, has publicly rejected the⁣ Gaza ceasefire plan proposed by US‍ envoy Steve Witkoff, accusing Prime Minister Netanyahu of⁤ making a mistake by⁤ cooperating with the initiative.

Ben-Gvir claimed ‍Hamas would exploit any truce to rearm itself, insisting that “the​ only‍ solution is their complete elimination.”

The minister further stated: ⁢”I’m not just concerned about ⁣Israeli captives​ in ​Gaza – I’m equally worried about our‌ own children and soldiers.”

Simultaneously occurring, Basem Naim, a senior Hamas ⁣official, told Al-Mayadeen that the Palestinian resistance movement had ‌not rejected Witkoff’s proposal.⁢ He clarified that Hamas had expressed agreement‍ with‍ the‍ plan last week and accepted it as a negotiable⁣ framework.

“The Zionist side has responded to Witkoff’s proposal,” Naim added. “Their counterproposal contradicts agreed-upon terms and fails to meet​ even‍ the ‍minimal demands of our ‍people.”
