Israeli strikes on south Lebanon kill three people
The Lebanese health ministry said three people were killed in Israeli strikes in the south on Saturday despite a ceasefire, as the Israeli military said one of them targeted a Hezbollah militant. 'The Israeli enemy drone strike that targeted a vehicle' in Tyre district 'killed one person,' a ministry statement said. The Israeli military said that it 'struck and eliminated' a Hezbollah commander who was 'involved in efforts to rehabilitate the terrorist organization in the area of Bint Jbeil,' near the border. It did not specify where the strike took place. The Lebanese health ministry later reported that another Israeli strike in Tyre district, on the town of Debaal, killed two people. The state-run National News Agency reported that it targeted a house. The Israeli military did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the reported strike in Debaal. Israel has kept up its strikes on Lebanon despite a November ceasefire that sought to end over a year of hostilities with Hezbollah, including two months of all-out war. It has warned it will continue to strike until the Iran-backed militant group has been disarmed. Under the truce, Hezbollah was to withdraw its fighters north of the Litani river, about 30 kilometers (20 miles) from the Israeli border, leaving the Lebanese army and United Nations peacekeepers as the only armed parties in the region. Israel was to withdraw all its troops from Lebanon but has kept them in five areas it deems strategic.

New partnership helps vulnerable youth enter motor industry
In the spirit of Mandela Month, the Tyre, Equipment, Parts Association (TEPA), a member of the Retail Motor Industry Organisation (RMI), is joining hands with Kids Haven to bridge the gap between vulnerable youth and real-world employment opportunities. 'Youth unemployment is at an all-time high and remains to be one of the country's most pressing challenges,' said Dylan Petzer, TEPA national vice chairperson. 'As members of the motor industry we have a responsibility and a real opportunity to be part of the solution. 'Partnering with Kids Haven, we are creating meaningful pathways for young people, who have so much to offer, but often lack the access and support needed to take their first steps to gainful employment.' ALSO READ: Mandela Day sparks generosity across Germiston as groups give back Kids Haven's Pathway Programme offers a holistic approach in supporting youth in their care to transition from shelter care and into employment, education or training. Tackling obstacles such a transport, childcare, confidence and access to information, the organisation ensures that young people are not only work-ready but supported throughout the process. 'Youth unemployment is a national crisis. Corporates have the power to shift outcomes through inclusive skill training and placement partnerships,' said Ilka Stein, Kids Haven's manager: youth and skills development. 'The model is flexible and individualised with success stories showing the power of exposure, connection and support. The current partnership with TEPA is one such success story.' Stein explained that the new partnership will see TEPA members offering facility visits, mentorship, short-term internship training and potential employment placements for youth, aligned with automotive sector needs.

'There are various positions within our sector that are both rewarding and do not require a matric certificate, all that is needed is passion, a willingness to learn and a foot in the door.' Stein concluded by saying that in an effort to reduce the financial burden on business while offering their youth exposure to the job market, Kids Haven covers stipends and transport costs ensuring a strong support structure remains in place. 'We are not just connecting our kids with potential employment opportunities; we are working together to build futures,' she said.

One person was martyred on Monday following a drone strike by the Israeli occupation targeting a vehicle in the town of Deir Kifa, in the Tyre district of southern Lebanon, according to the country's Ministry of Health. Later, a second martyr was confirmed after another Israeli drone targeted a motorcycle in the vicinity of Beit Lif in the Bint Jbeil district, using two missiles.

Additionally, a young girl sustained critical injuries and was transferred to intensive care following an Israeli airstrike on the town of al-Zrariyeh in the Saida district, the Health Ministry reported.

Four consecutive airstrikes also hit the outskirts of Irzay in the Saida district. In a related escalation, Israeli warplanes intensified their aggression with a strike on the outskirts of Bouday, west of the Baalbek district, followed by two additional airstrikes on the outskirts of nearby Flaoui.
