Iraq
Iraqi resistance conducts more strikes against Israeli targets — Hodhod Yemen News Agency
[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] The Islamic Resistance in Iraq announced on Wednesday two more strikes against Israeli targets in the occupied territories.

In separate statements, the Iraqi resistance group said drone strikes hit vital targets in southern occupied territories and in Haifa.

In the statement, the resistance explained that ''the operations are part of its ongoing resistance against the occupation and in support of our people in Palestine and Lebanon. They are also a response to the massacres committed by the occupiers against civilians, including children, women, and the elderly.''

The statements emphasized the continued escalation of operations against Israeli strongholds, stating that attacks will persist at an increasing pace.

On Tuesday, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq targeted six vital Israeli sites in Haifa port, northern and southern regions of occupied Palestine, using drones.

Teen killed by Hezbollah rocket in north; another hits area near Ben Gurion Airport
[IsraelTimes] Heavy barrages fired at central Israel, north; debris hits car in Ra’anana; IDF chief says military must prepare to expand Lebanon ground op; fighter jets strike southern Beirut

An Israeli teenager was killed by a Hezbollah rocket in the north on Wednesday, after the terror group also fired rockets twice throughout the day at central Israel, demonstrating it maintains the capability to launch long-range attacks even as the Israeli military pursues its ground operation in southern Lebanon.

A barrage of rockets at northern Israel Wednesday evening killed a teenager, whose body was only discovered hours later in Kibbutz Kfar Masaryk near Acre. The Magen David Adom ambulance service said that a farmhand who found the body led medics to the site, where they located the victim suffering from severe shrapnel injuries and declared him dead at the scene. He was later identified as Sivan Sade, an 18-year-old from the kibbutz who was working in the fields.

The IDF said that Hezbollah fired more than 150 rockets at Israel throughout Wednesday, including a barrage of 25 rockets at the Western Galilee and the Haifa Bay area.

In the late morning rocket barrage targeting central Israel, the IDF said 10 projectiles were fired from Lebanon, with most intercepted, but one rocket struck an area near Ben Gurion Airport. Debris from an intercepted rocket also hit an empty parked car in Ra’anana. No injuries were caused in the attack.

Sirens rang out again shortly after 4 p.m. east of Tel Aviv. The IDF said they were caused by a single rocket that was intercepted.

Some flights experienced delays and disruptions as a result of the rocket attacks. The Israel Airports Authority said the airport was “open and working normally for arrivals and departures.”

Projectiles were also lobbed by the terror group at Israel throughout Tuesday, including a drone launched from Lebanon that set off sirens in Metula and Kfar Giladi and was shot down by the IDF, and two rockets fired from Lebanon that were intercepted after they triggered sirens in Haifa and surrounding communities.

The attacks on northern Israel since October 2023 have resulted in the deaths of 40 civilians. In addition, 61 IDF soldiers and reservists have died in cross-border skirmishes and in the ground operation launched in southern Lebanon in late September. Two soldiers were killed in a drone attack from Iraq, and there have been several attacks from Syria, as well, without any injuries.

IDF withdraws 252nd Reserve Division from Gaza after 3 months
[IsraelTimes] The IDF’s 252nd Reserve Division has been withdrawn from the central Gaza Strip after over three months of operations in the Netzarim Corridor area.

The responsibility for the corridor has now been handed over to the 99th Division.

The IDF says the 252nd Division killed hundreds of terror operatives and demolished over 10 kilometers worth of tunnels and dozens of tunnel shafts during their operations in the area.

The Netzarim Corridor is built around a road south of Gaza City, enabling the IDF to carry out raids in northern and central Gaza while allowing Israel to control access to the north for Palestinians seeking to return after fleeing south.

In recent months, the IDF has been expanding the corridor, reaching as far as the outskirts of Gaza City’s Zeitoun Neighborhood to the north, and the Wadi Gaza stream to the south.

Two Zionist settlers injured in run-over operation in Ramallah
[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] Two Zionist settlers were wounded in a run-over operation near the ''Shilo'' settlement junction, north of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank, Palestinian media reported on Wednesday.

The media sources said that the driver—the perpetrator of the operation—was killed by Israeli occupation forces.
From the Times of Israel:
Terrorist shot dead by local civilian carrying handgun; medics also treat several people at scene suffering from acute anxiety

Two civilians were lightly injured on Wednesday in a car-ramming and stabbing attack near the West Bank settlement of Shiloh. The Palestinian terrorist was shot dead by an armed civilian in the vicinity.

Medics at the scene said that the attacker was shot after crashing his car into a bus stop at the Shiloh Junction and getting out with a knife, details the Israel Defense Forces confirmed in a statement.

According to the Binyamin Regional Council, a local resident killed the assailant with his handgun.

Magen David Adom said it treated two civilians, a 26-year-old woman and a 15-year-old boy, who were lightly hurt in the attack, before taking them to Jerusalem’s Hadassah Hospital Mount Scopus.

Several others were treated for acute anxiety.

Since October 7, the high tensions in the West Bank have seen troops arrest some 5,250 wanted Palestinians across the West Bank, including more than 2,050 affiliated with Hamas.

According to the Palestinian Authority health ministry, more than 716 West Bank Palestinians have been killed in that time. The IDF says the vast majority of them were gunmen killed in exchanges of fire, rioters who clashed with troops or terrorists carrying out attacks.

During the same period, 41 people, including Israeli security personnel, have been killed in terror attacks in Israel and the West Bank. Another six members of the security forces were killed in clashes with terror operatives in the West Bank.

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Iran sentences 4 people to death on charges of spying for Israel
A little more about this story from yesterday.
Three defendants accused of aiding alleged Israeli assassination of nuclear scientist in 2020; fourth involved in unspecified espionage case

Four people were sentenced to death by a revolutionary court in northwestern Iran over charges of spying for Israel, the semi-official Fars news agency reported on Wednesday.

Fars said three of the defendants — whose nationalities it did not give — were accused of helping Israel’s spy agency Mossad move equipment used in the 2020 assassination of Iranian nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh.

Fakhrizadeh was viewed by Western intelligence services as the mastermind of a covert Iranian program to develop nuclear weapons capability. The Islamic Republic has long denied any such ambition.

The Jewish Chronicle newspaper reported in February 2021, citing intelligence sources, that Fakhrizadeh was killed by a one-ton gun smuggled into Iran in pieces by Mossad agents, both Israeli and Iranian nationals.
Oh my. That must have taken a lot of ingenuity to conceal.
Israel declined to comment at the time of his killing, and on Wednesday an Israeli government spokesman said in response to the Fars report: “We never comment on such matters. There has been no change in our position.”

Fars said the fourth defendant sentenced to death was linked to another unspecified espionage case.

Iran does not recognize Israel’s right to exist. Khamenei has previously called Israel a “cancerous tumor” that “will undoubtedly be uprooted and destroyed.”

Govt. approves recruitment of 1,500 soldiers for Lebanese Army — Naharnet
[NAHARNET] The caretaker Cabinet on Wednesday approved granting the Defense Ministry a treasury loan to recruit 1,500 soldiers for the Lebanese Army.

Caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati had announced at the Oct. 24 Paris conference that his government had decided to recruit more troops and could deploy 8,000 soldiers in the south as part of a plan to implement a ceasefire and U.N. Security Council Resolution 1701.
And who's gonna pay for that?
He added that war-hit Lebanon would need international financial support to equip and train the army.
I thought so
The European Union's foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell, told reporters in Paris that the 27-nation bloc would give the Lebanese Army 20 million euros ($21.59m) this year and 40 million euros ($43.18m) next year.

Israel strikes Beirut burbs after Hezbollah chief speech
[NAHARNET] Strikes hit south Beirut on Wednesday about an hour after Israel issued evacuation warnings for three areas of the main Hezbollah bastion, AFPTV footage showed.

One of the strikes triggered a loud explosion which was heard across much of the capital, witnesses said.

Israeli military front man Avichay Adraee had warned residents to evacuate the southern suburbs of Burj al-Barajneh, Laylaki and Haret Hreik in a post on X.

"You are located near facilities and interests affiliated with Hezbollah, against which the (military) will act in the near future," Adraee said, as a speech by Hezbollah's new leader Naim Qassem
... the Grand Vizier of the Hezbullies...
was being broadcast.

Earlier Wednesday, Leb

Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
's official National News Agency reported Israeli air strikes on the Bekaa Valley in the east and the southern city of Nabatiyeh.

An AFP correspondent in the eastern city of Baalbek reported intense strikes in and around the city.

Israel's army had issued evacuation warnings for Nabatiyeh but not for the Bekaa Vally.

The Israeli army said Hezbollah had fired about 120 projectiles across the border.
More from the Times of Israel:
The IDF said that Hezbollah fired more than 150 rockets at Israel throughout Wednesday, including a barrage of 25 rockets at the Western Galilee and the Haifa Bay area.

Meanwhile Israeli fighter jets carried out strikes in southern Beirut targeting Hezbollah infrastructure, following a day of long-range rocket fire on Israel, while the IDF chief of staff said the military must prepare to expand the Lebanon ground operation.

In a statement, Hezbollah claimed to have targeted the IDF’s Tzrifin base, located south of Ben Gurion Airport, in the morning attack. The bases house a number of IDF units, including several training schools and a logistics center.

On Wednesday evening, the IDF announced that Israeli fighter jets had struck a series of Hezbollah sites in Beirut’s southern suburbs earlier in the day. According to the IDF, the targets included Hezbollah command rooms, weapon depots and other infrastructure. All of the Hezbollah sites were located “in the heart of a civilian population,” the military said, accusing the terror group of using human shields. Before the strikes, the IDF issued evacuation warnings to civilians in the area.

IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi said Wednesday that the military must prepare to expand the ongoing ground offensive against Hezbollah in Lebanon.

“Alongside the diplomatic attempt to reach agreements in Lebanon, we need to continue formulating the plans for the continuation of the fighting in Lebanon, including expanding and deepening the [ground] maneuver, and we will activate these plans as needed,” Halevi said during an assessment, in remarks provided by the IDF.

He added that the IDF “continues to strike Hezbollah targets according to plan in the entire region, in southern Lebanon, the Beqaa Valley, Beirut and Syria.”

Meanwhile, Lebanese rescuers pulled 30 bodies out of the rubble after a late-night Israeli strike on an apartment building in the town of Barja, Lebanon’s Civil Defense service said Wednesday. It remained unclear if there were any survivors or bodies still trapped under the rubble following the Tuesday night airstrike, which came without warning. There was no statement from the military and the strike’s intended target also was unknown. Civil defense official Mostafa Danaj said some of the neighbors have reported there are still people missing.

The military has said that it only targets terror infrastructure in Lebanon and that Hezbollah routinely uses residential buildings to store arms.

Barja, a town just north of the port city of Sidon in central Lebanon, has not been regularly targeted so far in the conflict.

Amid the ongoing operation, the IDF on Wednesday called on civilians near four buildings in southern Lebanon’s Nabatieh to immediately evacuate ahead of airstrikes. Col. Avichay Adraee, the IDF’s Arabic-language spokesman, published maps alongside the announcement, which call on civilians to distance themselves at least 500 meters from the sites.

“You are located near Hezbollah facilities and assets, against which the IDF will operate in the near future,” Adraee said.

The Lebanese health ministry announced on Monday that the country’s death toll in the Israel-Hezbollah war had crossed 3,000. The figure does not distinguish between civilians and combatants. The IDF estimates that some 3,000 Hezbollah operatives have been killed in the conflict. Around 100 members of other terror groups have also been reported killed in Lebanon.

at dusk, more Israeli strikes hit Beirut’s southern suburbs. This came after the Israeli army issued forced evacuation warnings for three areas in southern Lebanon.

Israeli military spokesperson said on X that residents in the southern suburbs of Burj al-Barajneh, Laylaki and Haret Hreik must leave, adding, "You are located near facilities and interests affiliated with Hezbollah, against which the [military] will act in the near future."

An hour after the warnings, there were at least four Israeli strikes in the area. There was no immediate report on possible casualties and what was targeted.

"When the enemy decides to stop the aggression, there is a path for negotiations that we have clearly defined — indirect negotiations through the Lebanese state and Speaker [of parliament Nabih] Berri," said Qassem in a recorded address marking 40 days since his predecessor, His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah
...The late, lamented satrap of the Medes and the Persians in Leb...>
, was killed in a strike.

"We have tens of thousands of trained resistance combatants," the Hezbollah chief added.

Lebanon’s caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati said on Wednesday that Israel’s attacks on Lebanon were becoming "crimes against humanity".

Mikati told Lebanon’s cabinet that Israel was obstructing international efforts to end the fighting and that he held the international community responsible for Israel’s "relentless war" against his people.

Speaker of the House Berri met United States and Saudi ambassadors in Lebanon on Wednesday to discuss political developments, his office said without elaborating on details.

US efforts to stop the fighting between Israel and Hezbollah, which included a 60-day ceasefire proposal, lost momentum last week in the run-up to the US election, in which former President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and whatever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
was re-elected.

According to the Israeli army, since Wednesday morning, 120 rockets have been fired from Lebanon to Israel.

Earlier in the day, Hezbollah said it targeted a military base near Israel’s main airport near Tel Aviv. The Israel Airports Authority said the attack did not disrupt operations.

Lebanon’s Ministry of Public Health said that since the fighting began last year, more than 3,000 people have been killed in Israeli strikes on Lebanon, with the majority occurring in the past six weeks.
