Israel continues to shank the ranks of Hizbula as it counterattacks the Houthis in Yemen
Israel continued to bomb southern Lebanon and the southern suburbs of Beirut on Sunday, in addition to expanding the range of combat with a new bombing against the Yemeni port city of Al Hodeida, causing the death of at least four people and injuries to 40 others, according to a preliminary assessment.
“The Army carried out a precise attack in the Dahye area of Beirut,” a military statement said on Sunday. In this same area, and in the same way, yesterday Saturday, Israel killed Nabil Qaouk, commander of the Hezbulah Preventive Security Unit and in the last week, most of its military top.
As announced today by the Army, in addition to the top leader of Hizbulah, Hassan Nasrala, and its commander of the southern front, Ali Karaki, more than twenty members “of various ranks” died with them in Friday’s massive bombing in the suburbs of Beirut.
“These deaths do not mean the end of Hezbollah because it is deeply rooted in Lebanese society, but it does allow us to push them to the north of Lebanon and thus be able to create the conditions for the evacuated residents to return to their homes,” the military spokesman, Roni Kaplan, explained to EFE today.
Similarly, Miri Eisin, who served more than 20 years in Israeli military intelligence and heads Israel’s International Counterterrorism Institute, said today that despite being “very effective” attacks, they cannot yet be described as a “mate checkmate” against the Lebanese Shiite group.
“Israel still has immediate additional military threats to continue to deal with, despite the death of Nasralá, such as the arsenal and weapons of Hezbulah as well as all the tunnels” near the border, he added.
That is why, according to the Minister of Defense, Yoav Gallant, pointed out yesterday, the military corps is studying an “expansion of the activities” of the armed forces on the northern front, which could take the form of a land invasion, according to the Hebrew press, although of a very limited nature.
Karaki had already survived another air attack against the Dahye a few days earlier, when Hizbulah came out to deny information about his death that emerged from Israel and to affirm that his high command had “moved to a safe place” after the failed bombing.
At least part of the missiles fired that day fell in the area without exploding, according to Lebanese media.
Security sources cited by the Israeli press already described him then as the head of the group’s military activity in southern Lebanon and assured that he was also a member of the Jihad Council, the movement’s body in charge of security plans.
In the last ten days, Israel has launched several bombings against alleged targets of Hizbula in the southern suburbs of Beirut, the most serious the one that last Friday ended the lives of Karaki, Nasrala and other high-ranking officials not yet announced by the formation.
Israel attacks South Beirut again
Israel launched an air strike again this Sunday against the southern suburbs of Beirut, just 24 hours after confirming the death of the leader of the Shiite group Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrala, in a bombing on Friday against the Lebanese capital.
“The Army carried out a precise attack in the Dahye area of Beirut. More details will follow,” Israeli forces said in a brief statement.
This morning, the country announced the death of another senior official of the Shiite group, Nabil Qaouk, who was hit last night in an attack on the Dahye, a bastion of Hizbula and subjected to almost daily Israeli bombing since the beginning of the week.

Tehran airports resume operations as Iran lifts airspace closure
Iran announced on Thursday the full reopening of its airspace, including over the capital Tehran, after it was closed on June 13 — the first day of the war with Israel.
According to the official IRNA news agency, international airports in Tehran (Mehrabad and Imam Khomeini), as well as airports in the north, east, west, and south of the country, have resumed operations and are ready to handle flights.
Iran had completely shut down its airspace on June 13 following Israel’s unprecedented airstrikes. On June 25, one day after a ceasefire was declared, flight operations had resumed gradually, though only in the eastern regions.
On June 28, Iran further expanded the reopening of its airspace to include foreign airlines flying over its territory.
As of Thursday, only the airports in Isfahan (central Iran) and Tabriz (northwest) remain closed, as both cities were repeatedly targeted in Israeli airstrikes and their infrastructure is still under repair, IRNA said.

Trump to decide soon on deportation exemptions for construction and farm workers
U.S. President Donald Trump stated on Tuesday in Florida that he will make a decision in the coming weeks regarding exemptions from deportations for workers in the construction and agriculture sectors.
Trump made these remarks to the media during a visit to the new migrant detention center, ‘Alligator Alcatraz,’ located in the middle of a wetland in Florida, the White House reported.
ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) raids have targeted many of these workers, sparking fear among them and threatening to slow down two sectors that are vital to the U.S. economy.
In construction, 25.7% of workers are immigrants, and 14.1% of the total workforce nationwide is undocumented, according to the American Immigration Council.
In agriculture, the percentage of undocumented employees rises to 42%, according to data from the Department of Agriculture cited by the New York Times.
