Hezbollah Member Martyred in Israeli Airstrike on Southern Lebanon - Jordan News
The Lebanese Ministry of Health announced that a man was martyred on Tuesday in an Israeli airstrike that targeted him while he was riding his motorcycle in southern Lebanon, marking the latest in a series of strikes carried out by the Israeli occupation despite an ongoing ceasefire between it and Hezbollah. اضافة اعلان In a statement, the ministry said: 'An Israeli drone strike on a motorcycle in the town of Yater, in the Bint Jbeil district, resulted in the martyrdom of one person.' Local media reported that pro-Hezbollah pages mourned the death of Hezbollah member Nabil Balaghi, who was targeted by the Israeli strike while riding his motorcycle in the town of Yater, southern Lebanon. There was no immediate comment from the Israeli side regarding the strike, which came a day after the Israeli occupation army announced it had killed a Hezbollah member in the village of Majdal Zoun, southern Lebanon. The Israeli occupation continues to launch airstrikes in Lebanon targeting what it claims are Hezbollah-affiliated positions, despite a ceasefire agreement in effect between the two parties. A ceasefire agreement has been in place since November 27, brokered by the United States and France, following a conflict that lasted for more than a year and escalated into open confrontation as of September 2024. The agreement stipulated the withdrawal of Hezbollah fighters from the area south of the Litani River (approximately 30 kilometers from the border) and the dismantling of its military infrastructure there, in exchange for the Lebanese army and UNIFIL forces increasing their presence near the border with Israel.
Recently, Lebanese authorities have reiterated their decision to 'restrict arms to the state,' amid growing American pressure to disarm Hezbollah, which has suffered heavy losses to its military and leadership structures during the war with the Israeli occupation.

21 Palestinians Martyred by Israeli Gunfire in Gaza, Including 11 Waiting for Aid - Jordan News
21 Palestinians Martyred by Israeli Gunfire in Gaza, Including 11 Waiting for Aid At least 21 Palestinians were martyred and several others injured on Saturday as a result of Israeli occupation forces' gunfire in the Gaza Strip, including 11 individuals who were waiting to receive humanitarian aid. اضافة اعلان According to Palestinian medical sources, six people were killed and at least 10 injured by Israeli gunfire while waiting near an aid distribution point west of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip. Al-Awda Hospital in Nuseirat reported the deaths of five Palestinians and the injury of 15 others as they attempted to obtain aid near the Al-Shohada Junction in central Gaza. Additionally, three Palestinians were killed and others wounded in an Israeli airstrike targeting the Zaytoun neighborhood in southern Gaza City, with victims transferred to Ahli Arab (Al-Maamadani) Hospital. Another three Palestinian brothers were martyred in an Israeli airstrike on Al-Mansoura Street in the Shuja'iyya neighborhood in eastern Gaza City, while one more Palestinian was killed by Israeli forces northwest of Khan Younis, in southern Gaza. Since October 7, 2023, Israel has carried out what has been widely condemned as genocidal acts in Gaza, involving killing, starvation, destruction, and forced displacement, in defiance of international appeals and orders from the International Court of Justice to halt the aggression. The ongoing assault has resulted in over 186,000 casualties, including martyrs and wounded — the majority being women and children — in addition to more than 11,000 missing persons, hundreds of thousands displaced, and widespread famine that has claimed the lives of many, including children. — (WAFA)

Pakistan to nominate Trump for Nobel Peace Prize over India-Pakistan ceasefire
Pakistan announced on Saturday its intention to nominate US President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, praising his role in ending the recent conflict between India and Pakistan. Officials said Trump's intervention demonstrated the diplomatic foresight and political skill needed to defuse a rapidly escalating crisis. Some analysts in Pakistan suggest that this move could encourage Trump to reconsider any potential involvement with Israel in strikes against Iran's nuclear facilities. Pakistan has strongly condemned Israeli attacks, describing them as violations of international law and threats to regional stability. In May, Trump's unexpected announcement of a ceasefire brought an abrupt end to a four-day conflict between the two nuclear-armed neighbors. Since then, Trump has repeatedly claimed credit for averting a nuclear war and saving millions of lives, while expressing frustration over the lack of recognition. While Pakistan credits US diplomatic efforts for halting the fighting, India maintains the ceasefire was the result of a bilateral agreement between its and Pakistan's militaries. Pakistan stated: 'President Trump showed remarkable strategic vision and exceptional political acumen through his strong diplomatic engagement with both Islamabad and New Delhi, leading to the de-escalation of a rapidly deteriorating situation... This intervention stands as proof of his role as a true peacemaker.' Governments have the right to nominate individuals for the Nobel Peace Prize. So far, there has been no official response from Washington, and Indian government representatives did not reply to requests for comment.
