An Israeli drone strike has killed two people in southern Lebanon, according to the country's Ministry of Public Health, a day after Israeli warplanes launched a series of deadly strikes on the country's eastern mountain range and south. It's the latest in near-daily Israeli violations of the United States-brokered ceasefire between Israel and the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah that began in November.

Speaking at the opening session of Shura council, Qatar's legislative council, Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani accused Israel of violating the 11-day-old ceasefire. We reiterate our condemnation of all Israeli violations and practices in Palestine, particularly the transformation of the Gaza Strip an area unfit for human life (and) the continued violation of the ceasefire, he said. It is unfortunate that the international community remains incapable of enforcing respect when it comes to the tragedy of the Palestinian people.

The Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt will remain closed until further notice, Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has said, adding its reopening will depend on Hamas handing over the bodies of deceased hostages as the two sides continued to trade blame over ceasefire violations. Hamas, in a statement late on Saturday, said Netanyahu's decision to keep the crossing closed constitutes a blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement and a repudiation of the commitments he made to the mediators and guarantor parties.

Lebanon is pushing to get more support from the United States after another deadly Israeli drone attack on southern Lebanon, which this time killed five people, including three children, the latest in a series of near-daily violations by Israel of the US-brokered November 2024 ceasefire. President Joseph Aoun and other officials met with a delegation led by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the Lebanese presidency said in a statement on Tuesday.

The human rights organisation said on Tuesday it found Israel manually laid explosives and bulldozers to devastate civilian structures, including homes, mosques, cemeteries, roads, parks and soccer pitches, across 24 municipalities. list of 4 itemslist 1 of 4list 2 of 4list 3 of 4list 4 of 4end of list Erika Guevara Rosas, a senior director at Amnesty, said in the statement that the destruction had rendered entire areas uninhabitable and ruined countless lives.

Israeli air strikes in Bekaa Valley killed at least 12 people, including five Hezbollah fighters, amidst ongoing tensions and warnings against Hezbollah's re-establishment.

Naim Qassem emphasized the need for Lebanon's government to take effective measures to end Israeli attacks, asserting the country's adherence to the truce.
