Israel claims killing Hezbollah, Hamas senior commanders
Shafaq News/ On Tuesday, the Israeli military announced the elimination of two senior militant commanders in separate operations in southern Lebanon and Gaza Strip.
In Lebanon, Israeli forces targeted a vehicle in the town of Aitaroun, killing one civilian and injuring three others. Israeli army spokesperson Avichay Adraee confirmed on X that 'the operation killed the commander of Hezbollah's Special Operations Unit in the area.'
Lebanese authorities and Hezbollah have not issued a response.
Despite the ceasefire agreement in place since November 27, Israel has continued airstrikes, particularly in southern and eastern Lebanon, reigniting the debate over Hezbollah's disarmament. Lebanese authorities report near-daily attacks on residential areas, calling them 'violations of UN Security Council Resolution 1701.'

In Gaza, the army confirmed the assassination of Mohammed Al-Ajla, the newly appointed commander of Hamas's Shujaiya Battalion, in an airstrike conducted in coordination with Shin Bet, Israel's internal intelligence agency.
According to Adraee's statement, Al-Ajla was responsible for weapons supply and combat support, replacing Haitham Rizk Abdul Karim Al-Sheikh Khalil, who was also killed in a previous strike. Al-Ajla is also the fifth Shujaiya commander killed since the war began in October 2023, and the third since the launch of 'Operation Honor and Sword.'

Lebanese Tech Expert Majed Jaber Warns On Hizbullah's Al-Manar TV: Israel Signed 'Massive Contracts' With Google And OpenAI, Receives All The Data We Enter Online, Which Helps It Identify Hizbullah Me
On June 7, 2025, Lebanese tech expert Majed Jaber appeared on Al-Manar TV (Hizbullah–Lebanon), where he warned viewers that Israel can access people's information through AI apps and phone use and identify them as members of Hizbullah. He warned that when Lebanese users sign into Google, all their data is sent to "the Israeli enemy." Jaber claimed that everything users enter into ChatGPT is sent to Israel, which he said has signed "massive contracts" with OpenAI. He stated that Israel operates a cloud infrastructure called "Nimbus," which he alleged stores data from social media and personal devices. To view the clip, clip below: Majed Jaber: "We all use ChatGPT, but everything you put into ChatGPT goes to Israel. Israel has signed massive contracts with OpenAI. According to these contracts, all the information about Lebanese and other people goes to... They have a cloud Nimbus. They store there all the data from social media and from your devices. They have even signed contracts with Google. [...] "The AI [system] receives all the data and stores it. It connects everything through algorithms. The deep analysis that takes place in the heart of the AI is very advanced. If it monitors a person, how does it know if that person is part of the Resistance or not? It inspects the nature of that person's communications and creates a profile of him. Through his phone number, it detects all the people he has called. His picture, the nature of his posts, and even his movements – it stores everything. Then the algorithms decide whether he belongs to the Resistance or not, and he supports it or not. If he is not a Resistance member, it creates a profile of him. Therefore, we need to be careful not to say everything on our phones. We must not say everything to AI apps."
