Strikes, raids, and casualties
A new wave of Israeli strikes killed two civilians in southern Lebanon on Wednesday, Lebanese media reported, with Lebanon’s National News Agency saying an Israeli drone targeted a vehicle near Kfar Rumman and killed two people.
“The Israeli occupation army arrested 11 Palestinians in the early hours of Wednesday during a raid and incursions in the occupied West Bank, while far-right Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir boasted of demolishing more than 5,000 Palestinian homes”
The same report said Israeli forces fired on a vehicle in the al-Deir neighborhood of Nabatieh al-Fawqa and another near a former army barracks in the same town, and it also described Israeli drone activity over Sidon and Tyre and Beirut’s southern suburbs.

In the occupied West Bank, Israeli forces killed a Palestinian during a military raid in the town of Al-Yamun, west of Jenin, according to a medical source, while witnesses told Anadolu Agency that Israeli forces surrounded a Palestinian home amid heavy gunfire.
The Muslim News also tied the strikes to ceasefire violations after an interim deal between the United States and Iran, and it said the conflict began when the United States and Israel launched attacks on Tehran on Feb. 28.
The Muslim News further reported that Lebanese official figures put Israel’s military campaign in Lebanon since March 2, 2026, at 4,192 killed, 12,171 wounded, and more than one million displaced.
Ben-Gvir and accountability
In Tel Aviv, far-right Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir boasted about demolishing Palestinian homes and vowed more demolitions, saying, "I demolished 5,700 homes in the past year alone."
Al-Jazeera Net reported that Ben-Gvir made the remarks at the “Local Government Center” conference that began Tuesday and ends Wednesday in Tel Aviv, and it quoted him saying, "I will continue demolishing more and more homes in Bedouin settlements."
The Muslim News described Iran’s response to a memorandum of understanding between Washington and Tehran, quoting Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei urging the United States to avoid “interpretations that are completely contrary to the explicit text” of the agreement.
In the same Muslim News account, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian defended Iran’s missile program by saying, "If we did not have our defensive missiles, Israel and America would have plowed through Iran the way Gaza was plowed through, showing no mercy to the old or the young."
The Muslim News also said TankerTrackers.com reported that Iran has exported 40 million barrels of crude oil since June 15, with half that volume shipped in a single day.
Arrests, displacement, and wider impact
Al-Jazeera Net said the Israeli occupation army arrested 11 Palestinians in the early hours of Wednesday during a raid and incursions in the occupied West Bank, with the arrests spanning Qalqilya, Tulkarem, Jenin, Nablus, Bethlehem, and Jerusalem.
“Under a coalition government composed of a broad variety of political parties, with Naftali Bennett, then Yaïr Lapid, as prime ministers, Israeli authorities intensified their severe repression of Palestinians”
The outlet reported that the raids included arrests after searches and rummaging through Palestinian homes, and it said the Prisoners’ Information Office described the daily arrest campaigns as reflecting “a continuous escalation in the policy of arrests and raids.”
Daily Sabah framed the broader consequences of Israeli policy by citing Amnesty International’s report on June 10, saying Israel accelerated targeting of Bedouin and herding communities through land seizures and related measures.
Daily Sabah also cited OCHA figures that by the end of April 2026 at least 5,910 people had been forcibly displaced, and it linked the demolitions to West Bank escalation aimed at displacing residents and expanding illegal settlements.
The Muslim News added that Palestinians warn the ongoing attacks are paving the way for formal annexation of the West Bank, undermining prospects for an independent Palestinian state under UN resolutions.
