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.

Israel has confirmed the killing of Mahmoud Afana, a Hamas Nukhba fighter who boasted to his parents about murdering 10 Israelis during the October 7 massacre. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced Afana’s death in an Israeli airstrike on Deir al-Balah, framing it as revenge for Jewish victims. Recordings revealed Afana using a stolen phone to call home while inside Israel, bragging about slaughtering civilians. Netanyahu vowed Israel will hunt down all those responsible, as the war’s death toll surges past 60 in a single day.

Undersea cables in the Red Sea have been cut, disrupting internet traffic across Asia and the Middle East, with speculation swirling over whether Yemen’s Houthis or accidental ship anchors are responsible. Microsoft confirmed increased latency for some Azure users but said global traffic rerouting limited the wider impact. While Houthis, who have attacked over 100 ships since late 2023, deny targeting cables, experts warn intentional strikes could escalate the Israel-Hamas conflict into a broader international crisis. Investigations remain ongoing.

Yemen’s Houthis have launched a bold new assault on Israel, claiming strikes on Tel Aviv’s IDF headquarters, Ben Gurion Airport, Hadera Power Plant, and Ashdod Port using upgraded Yafa drones and missiles. Officials report that Israel’s Iron Dome and Arrow defense systems failed to intercept the attacks, leaving the country caught off guard. Houthi spokesman Yahya Saree warned that more deadly strikes will follow unless Israel halts operations in Gaza and Lebanon.
In a related escalation, Houthi forces also targeted the Liberian-flagged cargo ship MSC Aby in the Red Sea using drones and a Soumar-type cruise missile, reportedly causing significant damage. If verified, these attacks further threaten vital shipping lanes already disrupted by over 100 Houthi maritime strikes since 2023, raising the stakes for regional security and international trade.

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.
