Israel targets Quds Force liaison in Beirut drone strike
Shafaq News – Beirut The Israeli military announced on Friday that it had killed Qassem Salah al-Husseini, a Lebanese operative linked to Iran's Quds Force, in a drone strike in Lebanon the previous day. Israel's army spokesperson stated that al-Husseini had been planning attacks against Israeli civilians and military personnel along the northern front. The army described him as a 'key figure' involved in smuggling weapons from Iran through Syria to various locations along the northern border and into the occupied West Bank. He was reportedly connected to arms dealers in both Syria and Lebanon. #عاجل 🔸جيش الدفاع وجهاز الأمن العام (الشاباك) قضيا على مخرب لبناني كان يروّج لتنفيذ مخططات إرهابية على الجبهة الشمالية بتوجيه من "فيلق القدس" الإيراني🔻هاجم جيش الدفاع أمس في لبنان بتوجيه استخباراتي دقيق وقضى على المدعو قاسم صلاح الحسيني، وهو مخرب لبناني الجنسية كان يعمل على… — افيخاي ادرعي (@AvichayAdraee) July 4, 2025 Earlier this week, an Israeli drone struck a civilian vehicle on the Khaldeh highway, south of Beirut.

The strike comes despite a ceasefire in place since November that ended a bloody round of fighting between Hezbollah and Israel. From November 27, 2024, to June 30, 2025, Israel committed 3,799 violations of the ceasefire agreement with Lebanon. These included 1,771 ground breaches, over 1,916 airspace violations, and 112 maritime infractions. As a result of these violations, 195 people were killed and 433 others were injured.

Eight OPEC+ alliance members including Iraq move toward output hike
London – Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Russia and five other key members of the OPEC+ alliance will discuss crude production on Saturday, with analysts expecting the latest in a series of output hikes for August. The wider OPEC+ group — comprising the 12-nation Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and its allies — began output cuts in 2022 in a bid to prop up prices. But in a policy shift, eight alliance members spearheaded by Saudi Arabia surprised markets by announcing they would significantly raise production from May, sending oil prices plummeting. Oil prices have been hovering around a low $65-$70 per barrel. Representatives of Saudi Arabia, Russia, Iraq, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Kazakhstan, Algeria and Oman will take part in Saturday's meeting, expected to be held by video. Analysts expect the so-called 'Voluntary Eight' (V8) nations to decide on another output increase of 411,000 barrels per day (bpd) — the same target approved for May, June and July. The group has placed an 'increased focus on regaining market shares over price stability,' said Saxo Bank analyst Ole Hansen. – Enforcing quotas – The group will likely justify its decision by officially referring to 'low inventories and solid demand as reasons for the faster unwind of the production cuts', UBS analyst Giovanni Staunovo told AFP. But the failure of some OPEC member countries, such as Kazakhstan and Iraq, to stick to their output quotas, is 'a factor supporting the decision', he added. By approving another output hike, heavyweight Saudi Arabia might seek to up pressure on members for not keeping to agreed quotas via slashing expected oil profits due to lower prices. According to Jorge Leon, an analyst at Rystad Energy, an output hike of 411,000 bpd will translate into 'around 250,000 or 300,000' actual barrels. An estimate by Bloomberg showed that the alliance's production increased by only 200,000 bpd in May, despite doubling the quotas. – No effect from Israel-Iran war – Analysts expect no major effect on current oil prices, as another output hike is widely anticipated. The meeting comes after a 12-day conflict between Iran and Israel, which briefly sent prices above $80 a barrel amid concerns over a possible closing of the strategic Strait of Hormuz, a chokepoint for about one-fifth of the world's oil supply. As fears of a wider Middle East conflict have eased, and given there 'were no supply disruptions so far', the war is 'unlikely to impact the decision' of the alliance, Staunovo added. The Israel-Iran conflict 'if anything supports a continued rapid production increase in the unlikely event Iran's ability to produce and export get disrupted,' Hansen told AFP.

KRG denies drone strike on Israeli-linked site in Erbil
Shafaq News – Erbil On Saturday, the Ministry of Interior in the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) denied reports claiming a drone strike targeted an Israeli-linked site in Erbil. In a statement, the ministry emphasized that no Israeli bases or facilities exist in the Kurdistan Region, adding that the incident involved the crash of an explosives-laden drone in a desert area near Erbil, causing no casualties or material damage. The statement suggested the attack was likely carried out by a group linked to the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), with the aim of stirring instability and confusion. Since the end of the Iran–Israel war in late June 2025, drone activity has increased across Iraq. No group has claimed responsibility for the latest incidents.
