More Aita al-Shaab residents detained…(1)
“The Follow-up Committee for the Lebanese Detainees in “Israeli” prison (FCLD) condemned the continued “Israeli” occupation forces' suppression and arbitrary detentions against the residents of Aita al-Shaab.

“Ten resident were detained recently: Adnan Ali Abbass Srour, his wife, his mother Sokna Srour, Ahmed Srour, Hassan
Haballah, Ahmed Hussein Abbas Srour, Aiman Srour, Youssef Srour, Hussein Srour, and Mohammed Toufeiq Srour.

“FCLD's communiqué called for a nationwide campaign in solidarity with the residents of Aita al-Shaab and Arnoun stressing that their issue must be raised at all international forums.

FCLD called on all human rights groups to organize an international protest campaign to secure the release of the Aita al-Shaab detainees along with two girls, Shamlakan Assaf and Samira Atia (from Arnoun), and all the detainees in the occupation's prisons.

“The group announced that the detentions accompanied daily closure of the town's Main Street and semi-daily questioning of the besieged town residents who are constantly threatened to be taken to al-Khiam detention center.

“The abduction of the ten residents raised to 35 the number of Aita al-Shaab residents held in the notorious detention center where detainees are subjected to the most hideous types of psychological and physical torture”.

House damaged in “Israeli” aggressions…(2)
““Israeli” occupation's aircraft staged more aggressions on Lebanese territories as two enemy warplanes bombarded the Nabeh al-Tasseh gorge at 5:45 a.m. Saturday firing a number of air-to-ground missiles.

“The occupation's artillery Friday evening bombarded Iqleem al-Toffah hilltops.

“Moreover, an “Israeli” tank positioned at al-Dabsheh outpost shelled the Kfar Tibneet town. One round damaged Ahmed Nahle's house.

“The occupation's outposts of Ali al-Taher and al-Bourj raked the targeted areas with heavy machine-gun fire”.

For its part, the IR issued a communiqué in which it reported the following aggressions (3):
5:30, two 155mm missiles landed Mount Sojod.
5:40, the “Israeli” war jets raided into Tasseh Well watercourse.
16:35, the surroundings of the new Houla position exposed to a barrage of 12.7mm heavy machine gun bullets.
20:55, Arid El-Zennar area was shelled by four 155mm missiles.
21:05, two 120mm shells hit Oqmata area.

Occupation's piracy: gunboats stop commercial ship…(4)
“Car dealers had to wait for an extra 3 hours at the Tyre port today. The ship they were expecting was intercepted by the “Israeli” occupation's gunboats.

“The enemy forces searched the vessel and examined the papers of the captain and his sailors who were questioned before being allowed to disembark at the Tyre port.

“Reports said the captain insisted on applying the maritime law and refused to pay "fees" for the occupation's proxy militia threatening to raise the "illegitimate measure" at German courts as the ship is owned by a German company.

“Car dealers in the area said the occupation's navy used to force vessels to pay coercive payments as "fees" to enter Tyre.

“It seems that the occupation which had stopped the measure for some time intends to adopt it once again following the enemy's decision to raise the militia's budget in a bid to prevent the militia from disintegration”.

Military Operations…(5)
The IR team of martyrs Youssef Chmaissani and Ali Abdel-Aziz Sadeq attacked, at 14:15, a Lahdi engineering force as it was beefing up Hemayed position. The mujahedeen, who used the rocket-propelled grenades, managed to score direct hits.

Also, the IR squad of martyrs Mohammad Abdel-Menhem and Jaafar Alameh targeted, at 15:30, a Lahdi engineering force as it was fortifying Aramta hilltops. Using the rocket-propelled grenades, the militants were able to chalk up direct and certain goals.

One hour and a half later, the IR group of martyrs Ali Shamas and Zein Suleiman fell upon a Lahdi engineering force at Aramta area with the adequate arms. Direct and accurate goals were scored, the militants told.
