Saudi-Owned Al-Hadath News Outlet: Hizbullah To Intervene In Israel-Iran War If It Perceives Iranian Regime To Be In Danger
On June 18, 2025, Saudi Arabia's Al-Hadath News outlet posted a quote on its X account from "a source close to Hizbullah" which stated that Hizbullah would intervene in the war being waged between Iran and Israel "only if it perceives that the [Iranian] regime is beginning to waver."[1] The above image appeared with the Al-Hadath post on X (Source: June 18, 2025) On the following day, on its website, Al-Hadath posted additional quotes from the same source, according to which Hizbullah was supposed to play a more significant role in the war between Iran and Israel, but the blows that the organization received in its most-recent round of fighting with Israel have prevented it from doing so. According to the source, it is the developments in the Iran-Israel war which will determine whether there is a need for Hizbullah's intervention. The website commented that if Hizbullah did join the fighting alongside Iran, this would mean that it would use "its heavy weapons." The source stated that the organization "still has capabilities." It also said that "the elimination of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps would unequivocally mean the end of Hizbullah." The website further quoted "a source familiar with Hizbullah's way of thinking" which claimed that Iran can cope alone with the current confrontation, without the help of its allies, which is why Hizbullah is currently adopting a "wait and see" approach to the situation.[2] The above image depicts the funerals in Beirut of several members of Hizbullah (Source: June 19, 2025)

Houthis Say '1000 Leaders' in Store Amid Israel Assassination Strike Report
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A source within Yemen's Ansar Allah movement, also known as the Houthis, has told Newsweek that the group would persist in its battle with Israel after reports that Israeli forces carried out a targeted strike against senior figures at a meeting. The Israeli attack, which comes amid an unprecedented exchange of strikes between Israel and Ansar Allah's Axis of Resistance coalition ally, Iran, was reported by a number of Israeli outlets as well as Saudi Arabia's Al-Hadath network. The reports cited unnamed sources suggesting that the target was Ansar Allah military Chief of Staff Mohammed Abdel Karim al-Ghamari. Al-Hadath also reported that Ansar Allah-led Supreme Political Council President Mahdi al-Mashat was also in attendance at the meeting. Their fates have yet to be confirmed. The Ansar Allah source with whom Newsweek spoke to declined to discuss the details of the strike but affirmed that the group was prepared to move forward with its missile and drone campaign against Israel even in the case of losing high-level leaders. "We are all projects of martyrdom, and we are not afraid of being targeted," the Ansar Allah source said. "Every leader is succeeded by a thousand leaders." Newsweek has reached out to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) for comment. Ansar Allah has fired dozens of missiles and drones at Israel since October 2023, intervening in support of the Palestinian Hamas movement after it launched a surprise attack on Israel. The ensuing conflict sparked a still-ongoing war that has spread across the Middle East, drawing in Iran and allies non-state allies across the region. Rising tensions over the conflict took a dramatic new turn this week when Israel launched a sweeping and unprecedented series of strikes across Iran. The operating, dubbed "Rising Lion," has involved hundreds of attacks targeting facilities and personnel tied to Iran's armed forces and nuclear program. This is a breaking news story.

Araghchi reportedly tells Rajji Hezbollah disarmament a 'Lebanese decision'
by Naharnet Newsdesk 4 hours Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on Tuesday told his Lebanese counterpart Youssef Rajji in a meeting in Beirut that the issue of disarming Hezbollah is a decision that is up to Lebanon to take, sources told Al-Arabiya's Al-Hadath channel. Araghchi also told Rajji that, in his personal opinion, 'diplomacy alone might not be sufficient' to end Israel's occupation of parts of south Lebanon, MTV reported. Rajji meanwhile told the Iranian visitor that 'there will be no reconstruction funds without disarming Hezbollah.' He also told him that 'coordination between the two countries should pass through the state' and that 'solutions should come through diplomacy,' the sources told Al-Hadath. Rajji added that 'military adventures' had not ended Israel's occupation and that 'they have put Lebanon in a difficult situation,' the sources added. Araghchi also met with Speaker Nabih Berri and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam. 'We look forward to having relations (with Lebanon) based on mutual respect and non-interference in each country's internal affairs,' Araghchi told reporters after meeting Berri. He added that Iran backs a national dialogue in Lebanon between rival groups. Iran condemns the occupation of Lebanese territories 'by the Zionist entity and supports all efforts exerted by the Lebanese government and people to expel the occupiers through any way including diplomatic methods," Araghchi said, referring to five posts Israel refused to withdraw from earlier this year. Iranian companies are ready to take part in Lebanon's reconstruction if the Lebanese government wants that, Araghchi added. Araghchi's visit comes after Iran's main Lebanese ally, Hezbollah, was weakened by a 14-month war with Israel that left much of the Iran-backed group's political and military leadership dead. Araghchi's visit is his first since October, which came at the height of the Israel-Hezbollah war that ended a month later with a U.S.-brokered ceasefire. The war killed more than 4,000 in Lebanon, displaced over 1 million people and caused destruction that the World Bank said will coast $11 billion in reconstruction. Since the war ended, army commander Joseph Aoun was elected president and prominent jurist and diplomat Nawaf Salam became the country's prime minister. Both Aoun and Salam have repeatedly said that only the state will monopolize the use of weapons in Lebanon. The visit also comes after the government of Syrian President Bashar Assad was removed from power in December by insurgent groups opposed to Iran's influence in the region. Assad was one of Tehran's closest allies in the Arab world and his country was a main link for the flow of weapons from Iran to Hezbollah. Over the past decades, Iran funded Hezbollah with billions of dollars and sent all types of weapons to the Lebanese group enjoying wide influence in the small nation through. Since the Israel-Hezbollah war ended, Lebanese authorities have taken tight measures at Beirut's airport to prevent the flow of funds from Iran to Hezbollah and flights by Iranian companies have been suspended to Beirut.

Hamas likely to issue positive response to Witkoff's ceasefire proposal
Hamas will express opposition to the lack of clear guarantees for ending the war and warns that Israel shouldn't have "freedom of action to renew the war." Hamas announced Saturday morning that it plans to deliver a response later in the day to the ceasefire proposal that was issued by US Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff, with sources telling Saudi news sources Al-Arabiya and Al-Hadath that the terrorist organization will respond positively to the envoy's proposal, but with reservations. The initial announcement was made by a senior official of the terrorist organization to the Hamas-affiliated newspaper Al-Risalah, adding that the response will come after a series of leadership consultations within the terror group. Hamas will express opposition to the lack of clear guarantees for ending the war, according to Al-Arabiya, while also reporting that the terrorist organization will warn in its response that it will not allow Israel "freedom of action to renew the war," and will demand US guarantees for the implementation of the clauses in any agreement with Israel. The report also said that Hamas will request, as part of the proposal, that Palestinian prisoners should not be handed over in just two days, as stated in Witkoff's proposal, but rather in batches over the 60-day truce. "Our observations on Witkoff's proposal were unanimously agreed upon by all factions," the Saudi sources quoted a Hamas source as saying. Another report on Al-Arabiya claimed that Hamas presented Witkoff's proposal to various Palestinian factions, with some of them asking Hamas to agree to the proposal's outline, even though they do not believe it is perfect. The factions said that the current outline is an opportunity for Hamas to "stop the war, and make clear that any possibility for it continuing must be taken away from Netanyahu, and the global push against Israel must be exploited to halt the establishment of new settlements in the West Bank."

DayofPal– The Israeli occupation forces have intensified their aerial assault on the city of Khan Younis in southern Gaza, last night, launching a relentless wave of airstrikes that obliterated more than 25 homes across various neighborhoods.

In total, Israeli warplanes carried out more than 20 raids on homes in eastern and southern Khan Younis. Among the targets was Al-Fukhari School, which had been sheltering displaced families. The school suffered severe damage under the continuing bombardment. One of the attacks struck the iconic Al-Qalaa Tower in the Qizan Abu Rashwan area, flattening it. In one of the most harrowing incidents, three entire families from the Abu Salah were wiped off the civil registry after their home was hit in the early hours in Abasan Al-Kabira. Most of the victims were women and children. Rescue teams retrieved several bodies from the rubble and transferred them to Nasser Medical Complex. Israeli military vehicles also invaded Salah Al-Din Street near the European Gaza Hospital, in the south of the Gaza Strip, intensifying the military incursion in eastern Khan Younis. Meanwhile, the municipality of Jabalia Al-Nazla in northern Gaza reported that residents remain trapped in evacuation zones due to the continuous and heavy shelling. The municipality issued an urgent call for the Red Cross to coordinate immediate humanitarian access to all areas of Jabalia.
