Prime Minister Nawaf Salam condemned the attacks as 'a grave breach of our sovereignty and the ceasefire agreement concluded last November,' warning they also jeopardize Lebanon's fragile stability.
أُدين بشدة الاعتداءات الإسرائيلية في محيط النبطية، التي تمثّل خرقًا فاضحًا للسيادة الوطنية ولترتيبات وقف الأعمال العدائية التي تم التوصل إليها في تشرين الثاني الماضي، كما تشكّل تهديدًا للاستقرار الذي نحرص على صونه.

Trump not going to stand for Netanyahu's continued prosecution
Washington – President Donald Trump said Saturday the United States was 'not going to stand' for the continued prosecution of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on corruption charges. 'The United States of America spends Billions of Dollar a year, far more than on any other Nation, protecting and supporting Israel. We are not going to stand for this,' Trump posted on his Truth Social platform. An Israeli court on Friday rejected Netanyahu's request to postpone giving testimony in his corruption trial, ruling that he had not provided adequate justification for his request. In one case, Netanyahu and his wife Sara are accused of accepting more than $260,000 worth of luxury goods such as cigars, jewelry and champagne from billionaires in exchange for political favors. In two other cases, Netanyahu is accused of attempting to negotiate more favorable coverage from two Israeli media outlets. Netanyahu has denied any wrongdoing and has thanked Trump for his support in Israel's war with Iran, which saw a ceasefire agreement earlier this week. His lawyer had asked the court to excuse the leader from hearings over the next two weeks, saying he needs to concentrate on 'security issues.' Trump on Wednesday sprung to Netanyahu's defense, describing the case against him as a 'witch hunt.' On Saturday, he described Netanyahu as a 'War Hero' and said the case would distract the prime minister from negotiations with Iran and with Hamas, the Gaza-based Palestinian armed group that Israel is at war with. 'This travesty of 'Justice' will interfere with both Iran and Hamas negotiations,' said Trump, although it was unclear what negotiations he was referring to with regards to Iran. Hamas took 251 hostages during its October 7, 2023, attack on Israel, with 49 still believed to be held in Gaza, including 27 the Israeli military says are dead. Negotiations are ongoing for the return of the remaining hostages and the bodies of those killed, while Israel's punishing war on Gaza continues unabated. The US leader also likened Netanyahu's legal troubles to his own before he took office for his second term. 'It is a POLITICAL WITCH HUNT, very similar to the Witch Hunt that I was forced to endure,' said Trump. The Republican was convicted on 34 counts of falsifying business records in May 2024 in a case related to hush money payments to a porn star. Trump also faced two federal cases, one related to his alleged efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, which he lost to Democrat Joe Biden.

Shafaq News – Kyiv/ Moscow Ukraine struck four Russian Su-34 fighter-bombers at Marinovka airbase in southwestern Russia over the weekend, in one of Kyiv's deepest reported air attacks since the start of the war. The airbase, located near Volgograd and roughly 900 kilometers from Ukrainian-held territory, was targeted in a long-range operation confirmed by Ukraine's armed forces. Kyiv did not specify the weapon system used. Ukraine's air force also reported it intercepted 359 out of 363 drones and six of eight missiles launched during an overnight Russian barrage, underscoring the continuing intensity of aerial combat between the two sides. Military officials in Kyiv claimed Russia has lost over 100,000 personnel since the full-scale invasion began on February 24, 2022, alongside 11,000 tanks and more than 42,500 drones.

The report has not been independently verified. A separate Russian strike damaged a major power facility in Ukraine's southern Kherson province, triggering blackouts across several towns, according to regional governor Oleksandr Prokudin. Russia's Western Group of Forces also announced that its troops had eliminated more than 210 Ukrainian soldiers in recent operations. The unit's press chief, Ivan Bigma, said air defense systems shot down 14 Ukrainian drones and destroyed multiple armored vehicles. Officials in Russia's Kursk region, near the Ukrainian border, said a Ukrainian drone attack injured a Chinese war correspondent from Phoenix TV, a state-run broadcaster. Russian authorities urged the United Nations to respond, calling the incident a threat to international media.

Israel says senior Hamas commander killed in Gaza strike
Shafaq News – Gaza The Israeli military announced on Friday that it had killed Mohammad Issa Al-Issa, a senior commander in Hamas's military wing, during an airstrike in Gaza City. In a joint statement, the Israel Army and the Shin Bet described Al-Issa as one of Hamas's founding members and a central figure in the group's military leadership. He was said to have served as the head of combat and logistical support operations within the organization. Israeli authorities stated that Al-Issa had previously led Hamas's force-building programs in Gaza, headed the group's military training command, and was a member of its General Military Council. He was also reportedly involved in planning and executing the October 7 attacks, which resulted in the deaths of hundreds of Israeli civilians and soldiers. According to the statement, Al-Issa continued to operate in a senior capacity during the current conflict, promoting what it described as 'terror plans from air and sea' targeting both Israeli civilians and troops. He was also said to be playing a role in reconstructing Hamas's damaged military infrastructure amid ongoing hostilities. The statement emphasized that Al-Issa was among the last remaining high-ranking Hamas commanders in Gaza who held a senior position before October 7. Israeli forces described him as a 'central hub of knowledge' within the group's military structure. There has been no immediate comment from Hamas on the reported killing. צה"ל ושב"כ חיסלו את אחד ממייסדי ארגון הטרור חמאס ששימש כראש מטה הסיוע הקרבי והמנהלתי בזרוע הצבאית של הארגוןבפעילות משותפת, צה"ל ושב"כ תקפו וחיסלו אמש בשכונת צברה שבעיר עזה את המחבל חכם מחמד עיסא אלעיסא ששימש כבכיר בזרוע הצבאית של ארגון הטרור חמאס ונחשב לאחד ממייסדי הארגון.… — צבא ההגנה לישראל (@idfonline) June 28, 2025
