Six more top bandit leaders eliminated alongside Ado Allero’s son in Zamfara offensive
By Zagazola Makama
Additional details have emerged on the identities of notorious bandit leaders eliminated during the recent military offensive in Tsafe Local Government Area of Zamfara State, where the son of feared kingpin Ado Allero and scores of fighters were neutralised.
At the heart of the operation was the elimination of Kachalla Iliya Sarki, the son of Ado Allero, alongside more than 65 fighters and several high-ranking commanders who had long orchestrated attacks, kidnappings, and cattle rustling across Zamfara and neighbouring states.
For years, the forests of Tsafe, Shinkafi, and Zurmi have served as operational bases for heavily armed groups, with Allero’s network emerging as one of the most feared. The death of his son, widely regarded as a rising figure within the hierarchy, is not just a tactical success, it is a symbolic strike at the core of the group’s command structure.
Security sources confirmed that the offensive, which targeted multiple camps in Munhaye and surrounding forest enclaves, led to the elimination of several key commanders.
Among them was Kachalla Biyabiki, a notorious kidnapping kingpin linked to numerous abductions in the western Tsafe axis. Intelligence indicated he had at least 10 victims in captivity at the time of his death, with ransom negotiations ongoing.

Extensive damage to US embassy in Saudi Arabia
[IsraelTimes] It was revealed Saturday that an Iranian drone attack on the US Embassy in Saudi Arabia in March resulted in more damage than was publicly said.
In the March 3 nighttime attack, two Iranian drones slammed into a secure area of the embassy where hundreds of people work during the day and heavily damaged three floors, including a CIA station, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing current and former American officials.
The attack resulted in a blaze that raged for half a day, leading to irreversible damage to parts of the compound, a person briefed on the matter said.
Officials said that if the embassy had been attacked during the working day, it would have caused a mass-casualty event. At the time, the Saudi Defense Ministry claimed the attack only resulted in limited fire and minor damage.

[IsraelTimes] Both new suspects in March 20 arson at factory used by LPP Holding identified as foreigners; firm, which supplies Ukraine, denies collaboration with Israel’s Elbit came to fruition
Authorities detained two more people in connection with the arson attack on a Czech optics and drone factory last month, Czech police and a public prosecutor’s office said on Saturday.
A previously unknown pro-Paleostinian, anti-Israel activist group calling itself the Earthquake Faction
…another Iranian sock puppet…
has grabbed credit for the March 20 fire at an industrial complex in Pardubice, about 120 kilometers (75 miles) east of Prague.
Czech authorities have previously announced five detentions, including those of an Egyptian and a US citizen, since the fire that targeted a building used by the Czech defense group LPP Holding.
Polish prosecutors said on Wednesday that two Polish citizens were also detained in connection with the case.
Czech police and prosecutors said another person was detained on Saturday. A further individual was also detained in Bulgaria on Friday and police said their extradition will be requested. Both were foreign nationals, Czech authorities said
The group that grabbed credit for the attack has said in a statement online that the targeted company was developing weapons for Israel.
LPP Holding had previously said it planned to open a center to develop and produce drones and train personnel in cooperation with Israeli Elbit Systems, a military technology company, in 2023, but these plans were never implemented.
LPP’s production includes drones that are exported to Ukraine, which has been fighting Russian forces since Moscow’s 2022 full-scale invasion.
Over the past two years, Elbit has been inking contracts with global customers even as pro-Paleostinian and anti-Israel protesters have assailed the firm, negative sentiment toward Israel has been growing, and arms embargoes have been floated over Israel’s conduct during the war against the Hamas ..not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,... terror group in Gazoo

In 2024, a 13-year-old boy, instructed and armed by others, opened fire on Elbit’s Swedish office, and explosives were planted there in the same year.
The Paleostine Action group was also charged with breaking into Elbit’s British factory in 2024. Some eight months later, in June 2025, Paleostine Action activists broke into a Royal Air Force base and vandalized two planes, causing an estimated £7 million ($9.3 million) of damage. The following month, Britannia proscribed Paleostine Action as a terrorist organization, making it a crime to be a member.
[Rudaw] An Iran-aligned militia group said on Monday it carried out a drone attack on the Kurdistan Region, describing the strike as a response to a recent attack on an Iraq-Iran border crossing.
Ashab al-Kahf, a pro-Iran armed faction that identifies itself as part of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, announced it had targeted “US interests” in the Kurdistan Region using two drones.
In a statement, the group said it launched the attack in response to what it described as the targeting of the Shalamcheh border crossing between Iraq and Iran. “Our operations are continuing at an escalating pace,” the group said, warning civilians to avoid areas where US forces are stationed.
[IsraelTimes] Gaza officials report four die in strike near Gaza City’s Darraj neighborhood in northern Strip; military says cell posed an ‘immediate threat’ to soldiers
An Israeli Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... killed four Paleostinians near Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage.

City’s Darraj neighborhood in the northern Gaza Strip on Sunday, local health authorities said.
The Israel Defense Forces said it killed armed Hamas ..the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,... operatives overnight who posed a threat to Israeli troops stationed in the northern Gaza Strip.
The military said it identified the cell of Hamas button men who were "operating in proximity to IDF troops in the northern Gaza Strip, in a manner that posed an immediate threat to the forces."
"Immediately upon identification, the IDF carried out a targeted strike and eliminated the cell to remove the threat," the IDF said.
The incident took place before dawn, according to the civil defense agency, which operates under Hamas.
"An Israeli airstrike before dawn killed four and maimed several," it reported.
Gaza’s al-Shifa hospital confirmed the toll, saying the strike was carried out by an Israeli drone.
"Four deaders and five maimed arrived at the hospital this morning after an Israeli drone fired two missiles at a group of civilians," the hospital said in a statement.
It came after the IDF said on Friday that it carried out an airstrike against a cell of armed Hamas operatives in the northern Strip.
Hamas and Israel have traded blame for violations of the ceasefire agreed last October, which halted two years of full-blown war.
The Gaza health ministry, which is controlled by Hamas, says Israeli fire has killed at least 700 people since the ceasefire began, though it does not differentiate between civilians and combatants. The figures cannot be independently verified.
Four IDF soldiers have been killed in attacks by Gazooks over the same period. A fifth soldier was killed in a friendly fire incident.
Hamas is required to disarm under the US plan ending the war, but the terror group has refused to do so, holding up implementation.
A Hamas delegation met Egyptian, Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula.

The group has told mediators it will not discuss giving up arms without guarantees that Israel will fully quit Gaza as laid out in a disarmament plan from US President Donald Trump ...So far he's been unkillable, and they've tried.... ’s "Board of Peace," three sources told Rooters on Thursday.
Hamas’s disarmament is a sticking point in talks to implement Trump’s plan for the Paleostinian enclave and cement the ceasefire. Gaza is currently bisected into Israeli-held and Hamas-held areas.
The Hamas-led October 7, 2023, invasion of southern Israel killed 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and triggered the war in Gaza. The Hamas-run Gaza health ministry says more than 72,000 people in the Strip have been killed during the war — including those since the October 2025 ceasefire — though the toll does not differentiate between civilians and combatants.
The Israeli military believes that Hamas’s overall toll is largely accurate, with IDF officials estimating that two to three non-combatants were killed for every terror operative.
The IDF says it killed over 23,000 combatants in Gaza, and another 1,600 Lions of Islam inside Israel during the October 7 onslaught.
Israel has said it seeks to minimize civilian fatalities and stresses that Hamas uses Gaza’s civilians as human shields, fighting from civilian areas, including homes, hospitals, schools, and mosques.
The war spread hunger, demolished most buildings, and displaced most of the territory’s population, in many cases, numerous times.
[IsraelTimes] One person in serious condition as rescue services search for 4 missing others, including elderly people and a child; 6 lightly hurt as Hezbollah rocket hits Deir al-Asad
Four people were maimed, including one seriously, after an Iranian ballistic missile struck a residential building in Haifa on Sunday, as northern Israel faced near-constant missile and drone attacks from both Tehran and its Lebanese terror proxy Hezbollah.
Four people were reported missing after the strike, believed to be trapped under the rubble, first responders said, adding that firefighters and IDF Home Front Command personnel were searching for the missing people. A Fire and Rescue Service official at the scene said that among the missing were two elderly people and a child.
According to Magen David Adom emergency services, medics treated an 82-year-old man who was maimed in the missile strike, along with three others who were lightly injured by the blast and by shrapnel.
According to the fire service, the building that sustained a direct hit was at "serious" risk of collapse after a fire erupted at the scene. The fire service added that it was carrying out scans "under complex conditions due to the possibility of trapped individuals."
At the scene, Israel Police Commissioner Danny Levy told news hounds that rescue teams "are focusing all efforts on the four... who are supposed to be here, using all means at our disposal."
Levy also said that the warhead of the ballistic missile that struck the residential building may not have went kaboom! upon impact, "and therefore we evacuated several buildings, so that, in the unlikely case that the missile explodes, nobody will be hurt."
"Our sappers are handling the matter," he added.
After the missile strike, the Israeli Air Force said it was investigating the failure to shoot down the Iranian ballistic missile, which it said carried a conventional warhead, not a cluster bomb. Attempts to intercept the missile were made, but air defenses failed to knock the projectile down, the military said.
At the same time as the Iranian missile attack on Haifa, Hezbollah stepped up its rocket and drone attacks on northern Israel, with sirens sounding across the north several times on Sunday.
One drone launched by the Iran-backed terror group struck a home in the northern community of Shomrat, causing damage but no injuries, according to rescue services. A Hezbollah drone struck a home in the northern community of Shomrat, according to rescue services. Firefighters were dispatched to the scene "following initial reports of a drone impact," the Fire and Rescue Service says. In the nearby town of Deir al-Asad, six people were lightly injured after a Hezbollah rocket struck the town, medics said, adding that several others were treated for acute anxiety.
Several other drones and rockets launched by Hezbollah at the north were intercepted throughout Sunday, the IDF said.
Since joining Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... in its fight against Israel last month, Hezbollah has been firing hundreds of rockets a day, according to the IDF. The vast majority of the daily rocket fire has been directed at Israeli forces operating in southern Leb ...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?... , with several dozen projectiles crossing the border into Israel.
The group has also fired some 165 rockets at United Nations ...boodling on the grand scale... posts in southern Lebanon since joining the fray, the IDF said Sunday, two days after a Hezbollah rocket struck a UN Interim Force in Lebanon base in Odaisseh, wounding three members of the observer force, including two seriously, according to Israel. UNIFIL did not comment on the origin of the blast.
Three UNIFIL troops of Indonesian origin have been killed in recent weeks, two of them in a roadside blast that Israel blamed on Hezbollah. The third was killed by apparent Israeli tank fire.
ZAMIR VOWS TO STAY IN SOUTH LEBANON
While visiting the northern border city of Nahariya, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir vowed to the mayor that the military will not leave southern Lebanon until the threat of Hezbollah is removed.
"We hold the area and will not leave it until the direct threat to you is removed. This is at the top of our priority list," Zamir was quoted as saying by the IDF.
Later, while visiting Israeli troops stationed in southern Lebanon, Zamir said that the ongoing ground offensive against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon will advance Israel’s goal of disarming the terror group, but that there also need to be "moves led by the political echelon."
"Regarding the war objectives at this time in Lebanon, the IDF is establishing a forward defensive line to strengthen defense and push the threat away from northern communities. We will remain on this line as long as required," he said of the IDF’s planned buffer zone.
Zamir added that the IDF is working to "suppress and reduce" rocket fire from Lebanon, but "this will take time."
"The objective of disarming Hezbollah is defined as a supreme goal; this is an ongoing objective that existed before the current campaign. The current campaign will advance it," he said, adding that the military will advance this objective "based on the IDF’s operational achievements and through moves led by the political echelon."
Eleven IDF soldiers have been killed in southern Lebanon during the fighting against Hezbollah, two non-combatants were killed by Hezbollah rockets, and an Israeli civilian was mistakenly killed in the north by Israeli artillery shelling.
In Lebanon, the Israeli military has said that it has killed some 1,000 Hezbollah operatives, including hundreds of members of the terror group’s elite Radwan Force, since hostilities escalated amid the war with Iran.
More than 3,500 Hezbollah targets in Lebanon have also been struck, including hundreds of command centers, weapon depots, and rocket and missile launchers, according to the IDF.
[IsraelTimes] Iran fired several salvos of ballistic missiles at Israel on Saturday, causing extensive damage to homes and lightly wounding six people, officials said, as the Israeli Air Force carried out a wave of strikes against Iranian infrastructure targets in Tehran and beyond. As of late afternoon, missiles carrying cluster bomb warheads had caused impacts at more than a dozen sites in central Israel.
Shortly after 1 a.m., a ballistic missile carrying a conventional warhead of several hundred kilograms slammed into the Neot Hovav industrial zone, south of Beersheba, sparking a fire.
“Upon arrival at the scene, firefighters detected a fire and are working to extinguish the fire and conduct searches. As of this time, there are no known injuries and no involvement of hazardous materials have been identified,” the Fire and Rescue Service said in a statement.
An hour later, Iran fired a ballistic missile, carrying a cluster bomb warhead, at central Israel. The munitions caused a building to partially collapse in Ramat Gan, while a high-voltage electricity line was damaged in the attack in Rosh Ha’ayin, causing a power outage in parts of the city.
After a 10-hour lull, a second ballistic missile salvo was fired at central Israel, also containing cluster munitions that disperse small bomblets indiscriminately across the area. The attack caused heavy damage to residential buildings in the central cities of Bnei Brak and Ramat Gan.
Bomblets also struck Tel Aviv and Petah Tikva, causing damage to roads and cars. During that attack, two cluster submunitions struck near the IDF’s Kirya headquarters in Tel Aviv. Damage was caused to a parking lot next to the base, as well as a nearby school. There were no injuries.
The blast from another Iranian missile carrying a cluster bomb warhead that was fired at central Israel later Saturday afternoon lightly wounded a 52-year-old. Damage was also reported amid impacts in the Tel Aviv suburbs of Ramat Gan, Givatayim, and Bnei Brak during the afternoon attack.
Israel has condemned Iran’s use of cluster munitions to target civilian areas as a war crime.
In another salvo in the afternoon, targeting northern Israel, one missile struck an open area while others were likely intercepted, according to IDF assessments. No injuries were reported.
The penetrating body, which contained several hundred kilograms of explosives, struck the building and caused its collapse. The warhead did not detonate, and the damage at the site resulted from the structural collapse rather than from an explosion or blast wave.
[Breitbart] The head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) intelligence organisation in Iran, Majid Khademi, was killed Monday in a targeted Israeli air strike.
Israel Defense Minister Israel Katz made the announcement, AP reported.
“The Revolutionary Guard are shooting at civilians and we are eliminating the leaders of the terrorists,” Katz said. “Iran’s leaders live with a sense of being targeted. We will continue to hunt them down one by one.”
Katz added Israel had “severely damaged” Iran’s steel and petrochemical industries, as well.
“We will continue to crush the Iranian national infrastructure and lead to the erosion and collapse of the terrorist regime, and its capabilities to promote terror and fire at the state of Israel,” he said.
“Major General Majid Khademi, the powerful and educated head of the Intelligence Organisation of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, was martyred in the criminal terrorist attack by the American-Zionist enemy … at dawn today,” the Guards confirmed in a post on their Telegram channel.
Khademi took over for Gen. Mohammad Kazemi, who Israel killed in the 12-day war last June, as Breitbart News reported.
[Rudaw] Iranian authorities on Saturday deployed a notorious Afghan militia in the streets of Tehran as a way of intimidating locals, as security forces continue a crackdown, detaining thousands of people on charges of collaboration with the enemy.
Dozens of vehicles belonging to the Fatemiyoun Brigade, an Afghan Shiite militia created and trained by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), marched through the streets of the capital, waving their ubiquitous yellow flags as well as the Afghan flag.
The Quds Force, the branch of the IRGC responsible for extraterritorial operations and formerly led by General Qasem Soleimani, deployed these Afghan fighters to Syria after the Syrian civil war broke out in 2011 and used them as frontline troops against rebels and other forces opposed to President Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad Despoiler of Deraa... ’s regime. They remained in Syria until the downfall of the Assad regime in late 2024.
The use of the Afghan militia coincides with the arrival of several convoys of Iraqi Popular Mobilisation Forces (PMF) in Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979.

PMF fighters said on social media that they were ready to give their blood to protect the Islamic Theocratic Republic.
Iran, and in particular the IRGC, appears to be relying heavily on its support base and proxy forces to reinforce its internal security, as Israeli and US aircraft carpet-bomb its bases across the country.
Iranian human rights ...which are usually entirely different from personal liberty... activists have previously reported the use of Iraqi and Afghan militias by the IRGC and its notorious Basij militia in crackdowns against waves of protests that have engulfed the country in recent years.
The US and Israel have carried out close to 20,000 strikes across the country since February 28, leveling many security bases and killing scores of top commanders, as well as the overall commander of the country’s armed forces, Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei ...the very aged actual dictator of Iran, successor to Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini...> Iran has responded by launching 95 waves of missile and drone barrages against Israel, US bases, and civilian infrastructure across Gulf countries, Iraq, and the Kurdistan Region.

[IsraelTimes] Two members of People’s Mujahedin of Iran convicted of actions aimed at overthrowing the Islamic Republic as Tehran steps up executions amid war with Israel and US
Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence.

They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... on Saturday executed two men convicted of membership in a banned opposition group and carrying out disruptive actions aimed at overthrowing the Islamic Theocratic Republic, the judiciary said.
The executions were the latest in a series targeting members of the banned People’s Mujahedin of Iran (MEK),
…in Farsi Mojahedin-e-Khalq, a red-green alliance all within themselves, they’re Revolutionary Marxist Islamists. After joining the Mullahs in revolting against the Shah, they turned on the Mullahs in turn. Naturally the Mullahs came to resent them. For some reason America helped move their headquarters from Iraq to Albania in 2016, where they remain to this day, despite causing trouble in Iran from time to time…
after four other convicted members of the group were executed earlier in the week.
They also come against the backdrop of Iran’s war with the United States and Israel, sparked by US-Israeli strikes on February 28 that killed the country’s supreme leader and have since triggered a wider regional conflict.
"Abolhassan Montazer and Vahid Baniamerian ... were hanged after trial and their sentences were upheld by the Supreme Court," the judiciary’s Mizan Online website said on Saturday.
The men were found guilty of attempting "rebellion through involvement in multiple terrorist acts," as well as membership in the MEK group and carrying out acts of sabotage aimed at overthrowing the Islamic Theocratic Republic.
It was not immediately clear when the men were arrested.
The MEK, which initially supported the 1979 Islamic revolution before falling out with the leadership in the 1980s, has since been in exile and is designated a terrorist organization by Tehran.
Iran is the world’s second most prolific executioner after China, according to rights groups.
Since the war began, it has executed multiple individuals, including on Thursday, when authorities executed a man convicted of acting on behalf of Israel and the United States during a wave of anti-government protests earlier this year.
On March 19, three others convicted of killing coppers during the protests were also executed.
Also in March, Iran executed Kouroush Keyvani, a dual Iranian-Swedish national, on charges of spying for Israel, drawing condemnation from Stockholm and the European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing....
[IsraelTimes] Mohammad-Amin Biglari and Shahin Vahedparast convicted of attempt to ‘commit mass murder’ by trying to steal weapons and military equipment
Iran executed two men convicted of attempting to storm a military facility and access an armory during January’s anti-government protests, the judiciary’s Mizan news outlet said on Sunday.
“Mohammad-Amin Biglari and Shahin Vahedparast… were hanged after the case was reviewed and the final verdict was confirmed by the Supreme Court,” Mizan said.
The two men were among a group of four in the same case who faced execution, according to rights group Amnesty International.
Iran’s Supreme Court upheld the sentences for the two defendants who were among “rioters who sought to commit mass murder” by trying to steal weapons and military equipment, the outlet added.
Sunday’s executions were the latest related to the protests, which broke out in Iran late December against the rising cost of living before becoming nationwide anti-government demonstrations that peaked on January 8 and 9.
Iranian authorities said the rallies began as peaceful demonstrations before turning into “foreign-instigated riots” involving killings and vandalism.
Tehran has said more than 3,000 people were killed during the unrest, including members of the security forces and bystanders, attributing the violence to “terrorist acts.”
The US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA), however, said it had recorded more than 7,000 deaths, the vast majority of them protesters, adding that the toll could be higher.
Iran has carried out multiple executions in recent days of people linked to the protests or opposition groups, including members of the banned People’s Mujahedin (MEK).

[IsraelTimes] Sirens sound several times as Hezbollah steps up rocket fire on northern Israel, while IDF conducts airstrikes against Hezbollah infrastructure in the Lebanese capital
A strike on south Beirut killed at least four people and wounded at least 39 on Sunday, near Lebanon’s largest public hospital, the Lebanese health ministry said. The area lies adjacent to Beirut’s southern suburbs, a Hezbollah stronghold.
Another strike on southern Lebanon’s Kfar Hatta, near the coastal city of Sidon, killed seven people on Sunday, including a family of six, a source from the Lebanese civil defense told AFP. Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency said that among those killed was a 4-year-old girl and a soldier. The civil defense source said the family, lacking a car and already displaced from a town further south, was waiting for a relative to come pick them up. That man was also killed in the strike.
The Israeli military had called on the entire village to evacuate late on Saturday. There was no immediate comment on the deaths from the IDF.
Kfar Hatta has hosted many displaced people who fled from southern Lebanon.
NNA also said a three-story building in Beirut’s Jnah neighborhood that was filled with residents sustained “severe damage” in an Israeli strike. The strike came without warning, soon after an earlier one that came with advance notice, AP reported.
The Israel Defense Forces had announced earlier that it conducted a wave of airstrikes against Hezbollah infrastructure in Beirut. The strikes come after the IDF reiterated its evacuation warning for the entire Dahiyeh area of south Beirut.
ROCKET FIRE ON NORTHERN ISRAEL
Sirens sounded in the upper Galilee several times in quick succession as Hezbollah stepped up its fire on northern Israel after an overnight lull and relatively calm morning. No injuries were reported in the recent attacks, which targeted the community of Meron and areas closer to the Lebanese border. Rocket sirens also sounded in the northern city of Safed and surrounding communities, as well as in the Golan Heights city of Katzrin, the IDF says.
PRESIDENT AOUN PURSUES NEGOTIATIONS WITH ISRAEL
In a televised Easter address on Sunday, Lebanese President Joseph Aoun defended his decision to pursue negotiations with Israel. Responding to journalists’ questions, Aoun said Israel has not yet responded to Lebanon’s demand for a ceasefire as a precondition for entering full negotiations. Still, he argued that talks are the only way to end Israel’s military campaign against the Iran-backed Hezbollah terror group, warning that continued fighting could leave Lebanon in ruins.
“It may be that Israel wants to operate in southern Lebanon as it does in Gaza, but our duty is not to drag it into doing what it does in Gaza,” he said. “Negotiations are not surrender. Gaza is destroyed, and more than 70,000 have been killed, and only afterward do they negotiate. We have no choice but to negotiate to stop the tragedy in Lebanon.”
Aoun also aimed oblique criticism at Hezbollah for sowing internal discord and dragging Lebanon into the war, saying anyone who “harms civil peace is serving Israel, and that is worse than the Israeli attacks.”
On the matter of an Iranian envoy whom Lebanon has ordered to leave but who has refused to do so, the president said that “he is not an ambassador; he is at the Iranian embassy without an official role.”
UN PEACEKEEPERS UNDER FIRE
Around 165 rockets fired by Hezbollah during the current round of fighting landed inside or next to United Nations posts in southern Lebanon, the IDF said.
On Friday, a Hezbollah rocket struck a UN Interim Force in Lebanon base in Odaisseh, wounding three members of the observer force, including two seriously, according to Israel. UNIFIL did not comment on the origin of the blast.
“Throughout the war, the Hezbollah terror organization has exploited its proximity to UNIFIL positions and posts to advance terrorist activities against the State of Israel,” the IDF said in a statement.
The IDF added that during the fighting, it continued to maintain coordination with UNIFIL forces in the area.
