Israeli reports confirmed damage to petrochemical facilities, with fires and impacts inside the refinery complex. However, strict military censorship left certain details unclear, with many incidents often described as “interception debris” rather than direct hits. Repeated strikes on Haifa’s refinery, a key pillar of Israel’s fuel production, point to increasing pressure on critical infrastructure.

The deliberate killing of Al-Manar TV’s correspondent Ali Shoaib, Al-Mayadeen journalist Fatima Ftouni, and cameraman Mohammad Ftouni in Jezzine on Saturday came as a continuation of Israel’s publicized war on media workers. Since October 2023, Israel has killed 261 journalists in Gaza, while the number of media workers killed in Lebanon has now reached 26. Under international law, journalists are protected as civilians. Legal frameworks under the Geneva Conventions, reinforced by later protocols and UN Security Council Resolution 1738, prohibit targeting journalists in conflict zones. These protections apply to accredited war correspondents and independent journalists.

A march was organized on Friday, in Beirut’s crowded Hamra street, to express solidarity with the resistance against the ongoing Israeli aggression. People from several parties were present, including the Syrian Social Nationalist Party (SSNP), Al-Rayah, and Hezbollah. Party representatives addressed the crowds. Hezbollah’s MP Ali fayyad confirmed that the resistance will fight the Israeli enemy till the end. “Be proud of the Resistance and hold your head high. Lebanon will not be a toy in the hands of the US,” he said. People lit up candles, chanted, and raised banners in support of the resistance: “We will not reconcile, forgive, recognize, or normalize.” #AlAkhbarEnglish
