'They've just killed innocent people': Anger in Lebanon after Israeli strike - as teddy bears and children's shoes among rubble
Saturday, 17 August 2024 () Israeli airstrikes killed dozens of people including two families in both Gaza and Lebanon, while Hezbollah fired a volley of 55 rockets into northern Israel in response.
More than 500 people have been killed in exchanges between Israel and Lebanon since Oct. 8, most of them fighters with Hezbollah and other armed groups.
In a dramatic escalation of the conflict, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have released footage of a drone strike that killed a prominent Hezbollah commander, Hussein Ibrahim Kassab, earlier today. Kassab, a key figure in Hezbollah’s elite Radwan force, was struck while riding a motorcycle near Tyre, a coastal city in southern Lebanon. The footage shows the precision of the drone strike and highlights the intensifying hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah. The killing of Kassab, who played a significant role in Hezbollah’s military operations, marks a significant development in the ongoing regional conflict.

In a massive show of solidarity, hundreds of thousands of Yemenis have rallied across the country to protest against what they describe as Israeli "genocide" in Gaza. These large-scale demonstrations, among the most significant in recent years, reflect deep-seated anger and support for the Palestinian cause. Protesters, waving Palestinian flags and chanting anti-Israel slogans, have called for an immediate end to the violence in Gaza. The protests, fueled by recent escalations in the conflict, underscore the widespread discontent in Yemen, a nation already facing its own severe humanitarian challenges, and highlight the potential for further regional unrest as tensions in Gaza persist.

The Israeli security cabinet has been warned of a potential assassination plot orchestrated by Iran and Hezbollah targeting high-ranking Israeli officials. This alarming intelligence has heightened security measures across Israel, with the Shin Bet intelligence agency on red alert. The threat comes as tensions escalate following the recent killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, which has intensified regional hostilities. Hezbollah's provocative actions, including the release of a video showcasing their military capabilities, further compound the precarious situation. Israel is bracing for possible retaliatory attacks while seeking international support to counter the looming threats.
