Hamieh: Reconstruction is a national duty, damage assessment needed

MTV Lebanon07-02-2025
Caretaker Minister of Public Works Ali Hamieh stressed that rebuilding areas damaged by Israeli aggression is a national responsibility.
Hamieh called for a comprehensive damage assessment, covering both residential and non-residential areas, using the same criteria set for aid distribution.
"We have finalized the aid assessment mechanism for damaged buildings, which should be the first item on the new Cabinet's agenda," he said, dismissing concerns of internal obstruction.
Hamieh emphasized full transparency in cooperation with the World Bank, viewing it as a key step in restoring international trust.

Israeli strikes on south Lebanon kill four

by Naharnet Newsdesk 9 hours Four people were killed on Thursday in separate Israeli strikes on south Lebanon, the Lebanese health ministry reported, as Israel said it had targeted two Hezbollah members. The attacks are the latest despite a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah. The ministry said that "an Israeli drone strike targeted a car" in the Nabatiyeh district, killing one person and wounding two others. Another strike "targeted a truck in the town of Naqoura" in southern Lebanon "resulting in one martyr", it said in a statement. The third strike, on Qabrikha, killed two people, a man and a woman who succumbed to her wounds, according to the ministry. The Israeli military said in a statement that it killed Hassan Ahmad Sabra, "a naval commander in Hezbollah's Radwan Force" in the area of Kfour, south Lebanon. It also said that it had killed a Hezbollah member "involved in attempts to reestablish terror infrastructure" in Naqoura. The Israeli military did not immediately comment on the third strike. Israel has repeatedly bombed Lebanon despite a November ceasefire seeking to end over a year of hostilities with Hezbollah. Under the agreement, Hezbollah was to pull its fighters back north of the Litani river, about 30 kilometers 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.

Clashes at West Bank march against settler outpost

Palestinians and the Israeli army clashed on Friday during a march in a village in the northern occupied West Bank against a newly established Israeli settlement outpost. "We came to this area to express our protest and say: 'this land is ours, not yours'", Ghassan Bazour, head of Raba's village council, told AFP. While all Israeli settlements in the West Bank are illegal under international law, only outposts such as the one established overnight in Raba are also prohibited under Israeli law. An AFP journalist at the scene reported that a group of men holding Palestinian flags and those of Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas' Fatah party walked from Raba towards a nearby hill on top of which settlers had established the outpost. After conducting the Muslim Friday prayer at the base of the hill, people continued towards the outpost, until Israeli soldiers arrived on the scene and dispersed the crowd with tear gas, the journalist said. The army did not respond to an AFP request for comment on Friday's events in Raba. The Palestinian Red Crescent reported that its teams had provided support to 13 people suffering from tear gas inhalation. Village council chief Bazour said that settlers had originally taken over the hill's high ground to establish an outpost and deny Palestinians access to nearby agricultural lands. "There is now a settler outpost here (which) will continue to devour the land and empty these areas", Muayad Shaaban, head of the Palestinian Authority's Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission, told AFP. Despite it being dispersed by the army, Shaaban was enthusiastic about Friday's march, given that violence in recent years has made all protests against settlers dangerous for Palestinians. "This model of resistance must be applied throughout the West Bank. I call for massive marches... to stop this aggression, this terrorism", he said. Violence in the West Bank, which Israel has occupied since 1967, has soared since the Hamas attack of October 2023 triggered the Gaza war. Since October 7, 2023, Israeli troops or settlers have killed at least 956 Palestinians, including many militants, according to health ministry figures. Over the same period, at least 36 Israelis, including soldiers, have been killed in Palestinian attacks or during Israeli military operations, according to official figures.
