"Israeli escalation in a new nightly raid" resulted in the deaths of 5 martyrs in the airstrike on Tyre and 3 in the raid on the Naqoura rest stop, not to mention the "massacre" added to the record of cumulative crimes through the targeting of a medical and relief center in the town of Habbouch, resulting in 7 martyrs and 4 wounded. The southern Lebanese region remains steadfast against the brutality and blatant recklessness, indicating the enemy's lack of military objectives. Earlier, Hezbollah swiftly retaliated by precisely striking the Kiryat Shmona settlement and the 769th Brigade headquarters with dozens of rockets, affirming that "the aggression on Habbouch will not pass without a response and punishment."

 

Locally, the Free Patriotic Movement wished for the withdrawal of the effects of the ceasefire in Gaza to Lebanon, indicating that "persisting in presidential vacuum has become a danger to the existence of the state and national unity."

 

At the governmental level, Prime Minister Najib Mikati received an invitation from the King of Bahrain to participate in the 33rd ordinary session of the Arab League Summit on Thursday, May 16.

 

Regionally, the war in the Gaza Strip entered its 173rd day, with Israeli forces continuing to target Palestinians and their homes, especially in the southern sector, despite a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in the region.

 

Meanwhile, Hamas affirmed that it would not release the Israeli detainees except after achieving the desired objectives, indicating that it is "conducting a fierce negotiation battle and will defeat them in it."

 

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu considered the American decision in the Security Council to be extremely bad, and even worse, it encouraged Hamas to take a hardline stance, confident that international pressure would prevent Israel from releasing the abductees and destroying Hamas.

 

The Israeli Defense Minister stated, "I spoke with American officials about efforts to retrieve the hostages and progress in the battle to dismantle Hamas," emphasizing that "the results of the war will largely determine Israel's security future in the coming decades."

 

In another context, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates expressed their strongest condemnation for Israel's announcement of confiscating 8,000 dunams of land in the Jordan Valley in the Palestinian territories.

 

Internationally, the United States and Britain imposed sanctions on a financing entity linked to the Hamas movement and its affiliates.

 

The Russian Foreign Ministry pointed out that "it is difficult to believe that ISIS had the ability to launch an attack on Moscow."

 

Economically, the UAE's ADNOC announced the start of crude oil production from the offshore "Belbazem" area, "confirming the company's commitment to responsibly contribute to meeting the increasing global demand for energy."
