Israeli drone strike on car in Nmairiyeh kills one and wounds five
An Israeli drone targeted Friday a car on the road between Nmairiyeh and al-Sharqiyeh in the Nabatieh district, killing one person and wounding five others.
Despite a November ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, Israel has kept up its strikes in Lebanon, hitting suspected Hezbollah targets and occasionally those of its Palestinian ally Hamas.
One man was killed and two others wounded Thursday in an Israeli drone strike that targeted a motorcycle in the village of Mansouri near the coastal city of Tyre.
On Tuesday, a drone strike hit a car in a nearby village, killing another man the Israeli military said was involved in developing Hezbollah's artillery capabilities.
The November 27 ceasefire sought to end more than a year of hostilities with Hezbollah, including two months of all-out war that left the group severely weakened.
Under its terms, Hezbollah was to pull its fighters back north of the Litani river, about 30 kilometers (20 miles) from the Israeli border, leaving the Lebanese army and United Nations peacekeepers as the only armed parties in the region.
Israel was required to fully withdraw its troops from the country but has kept them in five places it deems strategic.

Netanyahu tells Trump he'll strike Iran again if it moves toward nuclear weapon
Sitting across from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday at the White House, U.S. President Donald Trump said he hoped there would be no more U.S. bombing of Iran. 'I can't imagine wanting to do that,' Trump said. But Netanyahu later told him in private, however, according to the Wall Street Journal, that if Iran resumed moving toward a nuclear weapon, Israel would carry out further military strikes. Trump responded that he favors a diplomatic settlement with Tehran, but didn't otherwise object to the Israeli plan, the Wall Street Journal added.

Israel says Nmairiyeh strike killed man who smuggled arms to Lebanon, W. Bank
by Naharnet Newsdesk 12 July 2025, 12:56 An Israeli air strike in southern Lebanon on Friday killed one person, the Lebanese health ministry reported, with Israel saying it had targeted a man accused of helping smuggle weapons from Iran. The attack was the latest in Lebanon despite a months-long ceasefire between Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah there. The Israeli army said it killed Mohammad Shoaib, whom it accused of having aided in the smuggling of weapons to Lebanon and the occupied West Bank. Israel has kept up regular strikes in Lebanon, particularly in the south, since a November 27 ceasefire meant to end over a year of hostilities with Hezbollah that left the group severely weakened. Under the agreement, Hezbollah was to pull its fighters back north of the Litani River, around 30 kilometers (20 miles) from the border with Israel, leaving the Lebanese Army and United Nations peacekeepers as the only armed parties in the area. The ceasefire requires Israel to fully withdraw its troops, but it has kept them in five locations in south Lebanon that it deems strategic.

Erdogan says 'Turkey has won' after Kurdish PKK fighters disarm
by Naharnet Newsdesk 12 July 2025, 12:26 Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Saturday his country had achieved victory after Kurdish rebels destroyed their weapons, ending their decades-long armed struggle against Ankara. Friday's symbolic weapons destruction ceremony in Iraqi Kurdistan marked a major step in the transition of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) from armed insurgency to democratic politics -- part of a broader effort to end one of the region's longest-running conflicts. "Turkey has won. Eighty-six million citizens have won," Erdogan said. "We know what we are doing. Nobody needs to worry or ask questions. We are doing all this for Turkey, for our future". The PKK was formed in 1978 by Ankara University students, with the ultimate goal of achieving the Kurds' liberation through armed struggle. It took up arms in 1984 and the ensuing conflict has cost more than 40,000 lives.
