Israeli aggression on Lebanon
More deaths and destruction in Lebanon as the Israeli air and artillery strikes hit residential areas across the Arab country. Lebanon’s health ministry says the regime’s aggression against the Baalbek-Hermel region killed at least 52 people on Friday. Another 72 people were also wounded in the strikes in the eastern area. Attacks also hit the southern city of Tyre, killing several people. More than one year of Israeli aggression against the Arab nation has left more than 2,900 people dead and over 13,100 others injured.
Israel refuses to cease fire
Lebanon’s parliament speaker says Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected his country’s cease-fire proposal. In an interview with Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper, Nabih Berri said that Netanyahu rejected Lebanon’s roadmap despite it was agreed upon with US envoy Amos Hochstein. Berri said political efforts to end Israeli aggression on Lebanon have been postponed until after the US presidential election. The Lebanese politician noted that Israel’s continued attacks and threats on people to evacuate entire cities and villages show that the regime does not want a ceasefire with Lebanon and is insistent on its policy of killing and destruction. Berri called on the international community to assume its historical and moral responsibilities and stop Israel’s assault on Lebanon.
Tehran slams Berlin
Tehran has denounced Berlin for closing Iranian consulates in Germany, calling the move a sanction against Iranians residing in the European country. Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araghchi, in a post on the social media platform X, said Berlin is punishing tens of thousands of Iranians who are German citizens as well, in support of a terrorist and under the guise of protecting German nationals. Germany ordered the closure of Iranian consulates after Iran’s execution of an Iranian-German national who had been convicted of involvement in terrorist attacks. Iran’s foreign minister said Germany was trying to protect a terrorist who killed 14 innocent people and injured more than 200 others. Araghchi, however, assured Iranians that Tehran will do its best to compensate for the inconvenience caused by Germany’s unjustified move.
