💢 REPORT | Israel Violating Ceasefire on Day One, Killing 3 Civilians and Pushing Into Villages in Lebanon In the first 24 hours after the U.S.-Iran deal was formally announced, Israel has repeatedly violated the U.S.-backed Lebanon ceasefire, killing civilians, shelling towns, and attempting ground incursions across south Lebanon despite the agreement’s stated clause of halting fighting “on all fronts, including Lebanon.” 🔸 The dead: ➤ Ismail Allam was killed in Yater (Bint Jbeil) in an explosion whose cause, whether an Israeli strike, unexploded ordnance, or another suspicious object, remains under investigation. L’Orient Today described him as the first person killed in Lebanon since the deal took effect overnight. ➤ An Israeli drone later struck a car at the Kfar Tibnit roundabout, killing a person whose body was reportedly left unrecognizable, according to L’Orient Today. ➤ Earlier, an Israeli drone dropped a stun grenade on civilians walking toward Mansouri (Sour), killing one person and wounding several others. 🔸 A journalist targeted: ➤ Press TV correspondent Hadi Hoteit was wounded in Kfar Tibnit after an Israeli drone dropped a grenade that exploded less than a meter from him while he was reporting. Speaking from the hospital, Hoteit said Israel had deliberately targeted him. Video appears to show deliberate targeting as well. ➤ Lebanon’s photojournalists’ syndicate later urged journalists not to rush back into frontline areas, warning that “nothing is guaranteed.” 🔸 Ground incursions and clashes: ➤ Hezbollah said it “repelled” an Israeli force, including an excavator and two Merkava tanks, advancing from Arnoun toward Kfar Tibnit at around 6:15 p.m., using guided missiles and Ababil attack drones. ➤ Drop Site sources in the south reported Israeli forces attempting to push into Bra’shit, with tanks audible and a massive explosion reported in the village. Israeli troops were also said to be positioned near homes on the outskirts toward Beit Yahoun and Kounine. ➤ Israeli soldiers advanced and carried out sweeping fire toward Bouyout al-Sayyed near a UNIFIL position in the Sour district 🔸 Shelling, drones, and blocked roads: ➤ Israeli artillery struck the Ali al-Taher hills and a road near Zawtar al-Sharqieh, while the army detonated a large explosive device in Aita al-Jabal and, according to Lebanon’s National News Agency and Drop Site sources, detonated car bombs on the Haris-Tibnin road. ➤ Quadcopter drones were reported “dropping bombs,” while roads around Haris, Kafra, Haddatha, and Tebnine were described as too dangerous to travel. The Lebanese Army closed multiple roads and warned displaced residents not to return to border villages. 🔸 The toll and the backdrop: ➤ Lebanon’s Health Ministry said Israeli attacks over the previous 24 hours killed 15 people and wounded 82, bringing the toll since March 2 to 3,798 killed and 11,781 wounded. ➤ Israeli leaders also made clear they do not consider themselves bound by the agreement. Netanyahu said the army would remain in Lebanon “as long as necessary” and, according to Israeli media, told Trump that Israel “does not consider itself bound by the Lebanon clause.” Defense Minister Israel Katz and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich likewise vowed to continue military operations, with Smotrich calling for the campaign in Lebanon to be intensified.

🟢 Hamas has issued an official statement welcoming the U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding, congratulating Iran’s leadership and praising its “steadfastness” in resisting external pressure. The group said it hopes the agreement will help bring an immediate end to Israel’s war on Gaza and repeated attacks on Lebanon, while saying that lasting regional stability cannot be achieved without ending Israel’s campaign of “extermination, starvation, and displacement” against Palestinians and addressing the root causes of the conflict. Full statement ⬇️
Mujamma Haraket@MujammaHaraket

The Hamas movement has published its official response to the Iranian MOU, which reads as follows: “We welcome the announcement of the agreement regarding the memorandum of understanding between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States of America. We extend our sincere congratulations to the Islamic Republic of Iran, its people and its leadership, and express our appreciation for its steadfastness and its commitment to its national rights and interests in the face of pressures and challenges, which contributed to thwarting attempts to impose dictates and projects of hegemony on the region. We hope that this agreement will constitute a step that contributes to enhancing regional stability and will have a positive impact on various issues in the region, foremost among them the immediate cessation of the ongoing Zionist aggression against our Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, and the ending of the repeated attacks and violations against Lebanon and other fronts. We affirm that security and stability in the region will not be achieved as long as the occupation government continues its war of extermination, starvation, and displacement against our Palestinian people, and unless the true roots of the conflict—namely, the Zionist occupation and the denial of our people’s legitimate rights—are confronted.” As commentators debate the language of the MOU, it is important to keep in mind the close coordination retained through Qaddoumi’s office and even between Hazem Qassem and Iran, to say nothing of Khalil al-Hayya—a figure from the ranks of the Sinwar flank of the movement.

There is nothing a 19 year old, especially one I did not know, could ever say to me that would make me this rageful. He could talk about my looks, my gender, my race, my ancestry, my personality, even my immediate family and it would never have this effect on me. Something is seriously mentally wrong when tons of powerful grown adults’ first instinct is to shift into a collective effort to make sure this 19 year old is punished indefinitely. A healthy society does not encourage this kind of vindictiveness.

Receiving unlimited material support from the United States government and Jewish institutions and tying the entire genocide and ethnic cleansing campaign to their religion, but please don’t call it out because that’s “antisemitic.”
Dr. NSPM-7 Whoa🔻🌺@dasmadchengyal

@YungxJayy an entire group of people who are getting away with committing genocide & stealing land on three fronts, who do it in the name of their own identity, yet we're the problem for acknowledging it. mmh.

If thousands of Muslims carried daily terrorist attacks against Jews or Christians, it would be a top headline. But because its Israeli Jews doing the terrorism, it's instead called "the right of Jews to self-determination in their homeland" like every other people!
Breaking the Silence@BtSIsrael

A group of 40–50 settler terrorists torched a mosque with people inside and several cars in the West Bank. How could the IDF have missed 40 young men on their way to attack a village? In fact, they couldn't have. They must have chosen to let it happen.

Israeli drones targeted me while I was clearly filming a report in an open space with all requirements (press signs on the car, vest and helmet with press signs, cellphones open and not doing anything else. I was told that Lebanese army was blocking the road somewhere, so i went there searching for where the Lebanese army is. I stopped at Arnoun-Yohmor-Kfartebnit roundabout because i didn't want to go further. I got outside my car, with my cameras in the cage and my microphone with PressTV logo. I was filming when the Israeli drones deliberately attacked where I was standing, and not my car. Two brave men were able to come to my rescue after about 15 to 20 minutes. I was trying to get away from my car as I was expecting they might retarget it. 6 shrapnels hit my body (1 right chest, 3 right leg, 2 left leg). I am better now. Targeting journalists is a war crime. I wish if any international legal side was able to benefit from this video to Glory to the resistance, our only hope in front of those zionist criminals.

Unironically they should sue for defamation and tortious interference with a contract.
adri ♡@socialistadri

.@DeepNotShallow tells Hasan the details about what happened and why multiple venues were cancelled. This shit is absolutely insane and it is so blatantly obvious what happened here. Insane shit. You can't silence the voices of the people.

Israeli National Security Minister Ben Gvir says "Israel does not take orders from the United States." Then you don't take aid, either.

@canarymission NO ONE IS REQUIRED TO WORK FOR ANY EMPLOYER OR ACCEPT AN OFFER OF EMPLOYMENT. FOR ANY REASON. HAVING NO CHOICE IN WHO TO WORK FOR IS CALLED SLAVERY.
