Israeli strike kills Hezbollah spokesman in Beirut; at least 30 dead in Gaza airstrikes

This confirms the crimes of the Israeli enemy, and that it wants to negotiate under fire and is expanding and targeting safe and safer areas,

said a Lebanese member of parliament, Faisal Al Sayegh

What was really sad and ironic was that he was concerned about getting this bio radar to his centre. And this is probably the device that could have saved him and his peers,

Rajeh said

When we first got here, we didn’t think it could be the civil defence centre. Why would they hit it? They were registered with the ministry of interior. What other guarantees could we have?”

Atta Mansour, the head of local rescue service Shifaa, said at the strike site on Friday

Israel is trying to terrorise people. It is not discriminating between civilians, ambulances, anything,

Mansour said, gesturing to the pile of blood-stained concrete blocks where the Douris civil defence centre once stood

When I asked [Raad] what he needs, he said there’s this device, a bio radar, it detects living people under the rubble. He referred to an experience that he had the night before where he spent a lot of time digging up corpses, but he was more concerned about knowing where life was first,

said Rami Rajeh, who runs a fundraising campaign to procure supplies for the cash-strapped Lebanese civil defence

Of course there is fear, but you put aside your feelings and work with your brain,

he said

The chances of rescuing more wounded are decreasing because of the continuous shooting and artillery shelling,

civil defense spokesman Mahmud Bassal told AFP

Since the beginning of the war, Afif wielded significant influence over Hezbollah's military operations. He was in contact with senior officials and directly involved in advancing and executing Hezbollah’s terrorist activities against Israel,

IDF said

Israeli warplanes launched a strike on the Mar Elias area,

the official National News Agency said of the densely packed district that also houses people displaced by the conflict

We emphasise that there have been continuous efforts to evacuate the civilian population from the active war zone in the area,

the military said

They bombarded the houses and completely destroyed Beit Lahia,

he said

If Majority Leader Schumer does not act, the Senate Republican majority will stand with our key ally Israel and make this – and other supportive legislation – a top priority in the next Congress,

he continued

Tonight we did not sleep at all,

said one fleeing Beit Lahiya resident, Dalal al-Bakri

It’s cold and we don’t know where to go,

she said

Criticisms directed at the IDF’s slow pace of operations ignore Israeli operational design and lessons learned in the Gaza Strip. Some Lebanese officials implied that the Israeli operation is failing because IDF forces have not penetrated deep into Lebanon,

the report read

I was asleep and awoke from the sound of the strike, and people screaming, and cars and gunfire,

said Suheil Halabi, a witness

The time has come to provide full support for the restoration of the justice system and the law enforcement systems, and to put an end to anarchy, rampage, refusal and attempts to harm the prime minister,

he said in a statement

We will not let him turn Israel into an undemocratic state,

The strike on Ras al-Nabaa killed Hezbollah media relations official Mohammed Afif,

the security source said, requesting anonymity as they were not authorised to brief the media

Levin should go home with rest of this irresponsible government,
