In a remarkably frank statement, Israeli forces openly admitted to using a faked picture of a journalist they killed in Lebanon as supposed evidence that he was affiliated with armed groups.

The designation prohibits the sites from being targeted or used for military purposes, with violations potentially constituting serious breaches of the 1954 Hague Convention and grounds for criminal responsibility.

I'm being responsible for paying for this hotel, the hotel literally telling us that if I cannot afford the hotel to leave and go somewhere else. I don't feel safe to leave the hotel and go somewhere else. So I've been extending the days every day.

When the time comes for any stance, we will not hesitate. Iran would expect Hezbollah to contribute if a US-Iran war scenario materializes, most plausibly by pressuring Israel. However, Hezbollah is also navigating an increasingly complicated domestic environment with integrationist pressure by Lebanon's President Joseph Aoun and the organization's stake in Lebanon's political future as a national actor, which raise the costs of a major, open-ended war.

Early on Sunday, the Lebanese Health Ministry said an Israeli air raid hit Beirut's city centre, targeting a hotel room in Raouche, a popular tourist destination. In addition to the four killed, at least 10 people were wounded, it added. Raouche had remained untouched by Israeli strikes during the war between Israel and Hezbollah, which ended with a ceasefire in November 2024.
