Airstrike hits apartment in Beirut city centre - as Lebanon on 'verge of catastrophe'
Sunday, 29 September 2024 An apparent Israeli airstrike has hit an apartment building in central Beirut in what is believed to be the first attack in the centre of Lebanon's capital city since the current conflict with Hezbollah began.
In a striking declaration of support for Hezbollah, Russian President Vladimir Putin has openly condemned Israel for its "reckless" airstrike that resulted in the assassination of Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah. The airstrike, which targeted Hezbollah’s central command in Beirut, has...
A new video shows an Israeli drone crossing into Lebanon near Haddatha village, signaling potential further strikes on Hezbollah targets. Israel has carried out multiple drone operations, targeting alleged operatives and rocket sites, while critics accuse it of endangering civilians. The campaign aims to enforce the November 2024 ceasefire, demilitarize Hezbollah, and weaken Iran’s regional influence. Diplomatic pressure from the U.S. and France is ongoing, but Hezbollah continues to resist disarmament. Netanyahu’s operations are escalating tensions, destabilizing local governance, and drawing international scrutiny.

Hamas has condemned Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu’s “Greater Israel” remarks as “madness” and a threat to regional stability, urging Arab states to cut ties with Israel and back Palestinian resistance. Hamas accused Israel of using settler violence as part of an annexation strategy in the West Bank, vowing continued defiance against occupation. Iran’s Foreign Ministry also slammed the plan, warning it targets territories in Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria. Netanyahu called the vision a historical and spiritual mission for Israel.

Israeli media report plans to call up 80,000–100,000 IDF reserve troops for a potential occupation of Gaza City under PM Netanyahu’s strategy to dismantle Hamas. The operation, approved in principle by IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi, could last until late 2026. Hamas vows fierce resistance, condemning Netanyahu’s “Greater Israel” remarks as dangerous delusion. With Israel already engaged on multiple fronts, including Lebanon and Yemen, tensions are soaring. Hamas claims recent strikes on an Israeli Merkava 4 tank and D9 bulldozer.

Iran has issued a fierce denunciation of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s recent remarks promoting the so-called “Greater Israel” project, branding it a “diabolical idea” rooted in fascist intent. Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei accused Netanyahu of openly declaring his regime’s ambition to seize territory from Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria in a blatant violation of the UN Charter and international law.
Baghaei condemned the plan as a direct assault on regional sovereignty, warning it would impose occupation over Muslim nations and expand ongoing atrocities in Palestine. The spokesman also urged the UN, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and all world governments to condemn the scheme. Drawing attention to the worsening humanitarian disaster in Gaza, he called for urgent Arab and Muslim unity to deliver aid, end the genocide, and hold Israeli leaders fully accountable for war crimes and systemic violations.

Six Lebanese soldiers were killed on Saturday in a powerful explosion at a Hezbollah weapons depot in Wadi Zibqin, near the Israeli border. The Lebanese army said troops were dismantling munitions from the Iran-backed group’s facility when the blast occurred. The tragedy comes just days after Beirut announced a plan to disarm Hezbollah by year’s end under heavy U.S. pressure, a move strongly opposed by both Hezbollah and Iran.
UN peacekeepers recently uncovered fortified tunnels and large weapons caches in the same area. The incident underscores the volatile climate in southern Lebanon despite last year’s ceasefire with Israel, which mandated that only Lebanese state forces hold arms. Israeli strikes on Hezbollah targets have continued, further inflaming tensions. Investigations are underway into the cause of the deadly blast as leaders mourn the fallen soldiers.

Thousands of Hezbollah supporters took to Lebanon’s streets in a massive show of force, unleashing a roaring sea of vehicles that stretched for miles. Horns blared, flags waved, and convoys snaked through Beirut and beyond, protesting the government’s US-backed plan to Strip the group of its weapons. The demonstration — dominated by Iran-aligned loyalists — sent a defiant message that Hezbollah will not yield its arms, which it calls vital for defending Lebanon against Israel.

The UN has officially declared a famine in Gaza—the first ever in the Middle East—warning that over 500,000 Palestinians are already starving, with numbers expected to rise beyond 640,000 by September. The IPC has raised Gaza to Phase Five, its highest alert level, amid Israel’s blockade preventing vital aid deliveries. Despite repeated UN warnings, Israel dismisses famine claims as “Hamas lies.” Meanwhile, wealthy Muslim nations largely remain silent, focusing on ties with Israel while Gaza faces unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe.

Yemen’s Ansarullah leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi has accused Israel of committing atrocities in Gaza and the occupied West Bank as part of a wider “Greater Israel” expansion plan. In a fiery televised speech from Sana’a, he claimed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s vision is rooted in distorted religious ideology aimed at dominating the Muslim world. Al-Houthi cited the 1969 Al-Aqsa Mosque arson attack, warning that Israel seeks to destroy the holy site and replace it with a third Jewish temple. He also condemned Egypt’s gas deal with Israel and criticized Arab regimes for supporting the disarmament of Hamas and Hezbollah. Branding Zionism a threat to global society, the Ansarullah leader urged Muslim nations to resist what he described as the “crime of the century” against Palestinians. He reaffirmed Yemen’s military operations in solidarity with Gaza, vowing that ships violating the Red Sea embargo will be targeted.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that Israel will conquer all of Gaza, even if Hamas agrees to a hostage deal, intensifying fears of an unrelenting military campaign. Speaking after the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) launched a new offensive on Gaza City, Netanyahu said Hamas’ removal is non-negotiable and compared leaving them in Gaza to leaving Nazis in Berlin. He cited U.S. President Donald Trump’s backing, noting Trump’s statement that Hamas “cannot stay” in Gaza. Despite mounting international condemnation and warnings from the UN and humanitarian groups, Netanyahu dismissed criticism as a “tsunami of anti-Semitism.” The humanitarian toll continues to escalate, with over 62,000 Palestinians reported killed since October 2023. Several nations, including France, are considering recognition of Palestine in response to the crisis. Netanyahu insists the war could end immediately if Hamas disarms, but vowed Israel will not stop short of total conquest.
