Hezbollah Member Martyred in Israeli Airstrike on Southern Lebanon - Jordan News
The Lebanese Ministry of Health announced that a man was martyred on Tuesday in an Israeli airstrike that targeted him while he was riding his motorcycle in southern Lebanon, marking the latest in a series of strikes carried out by the Israeli occupation despite an ongoing ceasefire between it and Hezbollah. اضافة اعلان In a statement, the ministry said: 'An Israeli drone strike on a motorcycle in the town of Yater, in the Bint Jbeil district, resulted in the martyrdom of one person.' Local media reported that pro-Hezbollah pages mourned the death of Hezbollah member Nabil Balaghi, who was targeted by the Israeli strike while riding his motorcycle in the town of Yater, southern Lebanon. There was no immediate comment from the Israeli side regarding the strike, which came a day after the Israeli occupation army announced it had killed a Hezbollah member in the village of Majdal Zoun, southern Lebanon. The Israeli occupation continues to launch airstrikes in Lebanon targeting what it claims are Hezbollah-affiliated positions, despite a ceasefire agreement in effect between the two parties. A ceasefire agreement has been in place since November 27, brokered by the United States and France, following a conflict that lasted for more than a year and escalated into open confrontation as of September 2024. The agreement stipulated the withdrawal of Hezbollah fighters from the area south of the Litani River (approximately 30 kilometers from the border) and the dismantling of its military infrastructure there, in exchange for the Lebanese army and UNIFIL forces increasing their presence near the border with Israel.
Recently, Lebanese authorities have reiterated their decision to 'restrict arms to the state,' amid growing American pressure to disarm Hezbollah, which has suffered heavy losses to its military and leadership structures during the war with the Israeli occupation.

Rabbi Abraham Cooper After Meeting with Al-Sharaa: Trump Wants to Bring Syria into the Abraham Accords - Jordan News
Rabbi Abraham Cooper After Meeting with Al-Sharaa: Trump Wants to Bring Syria into the Abraham Accords Rabbi Abraham Cooper, Associate Dean and Director of Global Social Action at the Simon Wiesenthal Center for International Affairs, visited Damascus in mid-June along with Pastor Johnny Moore. The two met with Syrian President Ahmad Al-Sharaa and Foreign Minister Asaad Al-Shibani, following an earlier meeting with Al-Sharaa in New York last April. اضافة اعلان In an extensive interview conducted via Zoom with Al Majalla on June 12, Cooper discussed his visit to Damascus, his role, and his vision for the future of Syria and its relationship with Tel Aviv. The publication of the interview was delayed due to the outbreak of the Israeli-Iranian war, but Cooper later responded in writing to a follow-up question on the matter. Cooper described his two-hour meeting with President Al-Sharaa as the most important part of the visit: 'It's only fair to say that when you sit with someone who publicly identifies as having a clear Islamic background—and yet embraces a vision for Syria that includes all its citizens, and who approaches issues with a strategic and practical mindset aimed at removing Syria from the list of hostile states in a volatile region while sincerely expressing hope for peace—it leaves a lasting impact.' During his meetings with Syrian officials, Cooper proposed two initiatives: A humanitarian DNA project to help tens of thousands of Syrian families determine the fate of their missing loved ones. A proposal for increased cooperation in water and agriculture, fields where Israel holds advanced expertise, especially given the vast barren lands he witnessed on his first trip to Syria. When asked whether Al-Sharaa is seeking a peace deal, Cooper replied: 'I believe he has the tools and skills to make it happen. But peace requires serious effort from both sides. If we have to proceed step by step toward de-escalation, that alone would be a major priority for the Jewish state.' He added: 'The current focus should be on de-escalation… Yes, we aspire for a warm peace, but it doesn't have to follow the Abraham Accords framework.' In response to whether former President Trump could play a decisive role, Cooper stated: 'Simply put: If President Trump invites both leaders—Al-Sharaa and Netanyahu—and embraces them, telling them 'we're fully behind you,' an Abraham Accord could be signed much sooner.' He emphasized that greater involvement from Trump would expedite Syria's inclusion in the Abraham Accords: 'Without him, we'll proceed step by step. But either way, we will continue to play the role of persistent mediators.' Cooper concluded by highlighting Syria's current focus on reaffirming the 1974 Disengagement Agreement—violated by Israel following the collapse of the Assad regime on December 8 of last year.

Top Hamas commander, Oct 7 planner, killed in 'Israeli' operation, says 'Israeli' army
Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) confirmed on Saturday that a joint operation targeted and killed a senior Hamas military council member in Gaza City on Friday. The strike eliminated Abu Omar Al-Suri, a Syrian national of Palestinian origin who played a significant role in Hamas' military operations and training. Activists close to Hamas announced Abu Omar's death without providing further details. Though not widely known within Gaza, activists said he was killed in an Israeli strike south of the city on Friday evening. Hamas supporters say Abu Omar came from Syria in 2005 to transfer his experience to Gaza's resistance. He contributed extensively across various areas, founding the Qassam Brigades Academy, which has graduated thousands of fighters. Thanks to his expertise, he introduced diverse scientific and technical knowledge across multiple military specializations. Hamas activists noted that Abu Omar was originally from Burqa, near Nablus in the occupied West Bank. He was also one of the key planners of the October 7 Al-Aqsa Flood operation. Through social media and WhatsApp groups, Hamas supporters emphasized Abu Omar's crucial role in the technical and structural development of the Qassam Brigades, calling him one of the few individuals with a 'real impact' on Gaza's resistance.
