The IDF says Israel carried out a strike in Lebanon one day after Secretary of State
“Marco Rubio oversaw the signing of a framework agreement between the two sides.”
The deal sets out a path to restore Lebanese sovereignty and dismantle the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah, and PR's Jawad Raskala reports Hezbollah has rejected the terms. Lebanese Prime Minister, Nawaf Selam, said the framework is aimed to secure Israel's withdrawal from all Lebanese territory. But Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that agreement allows Israel to keep its
security zone in southern Lebanon until Hezbollah is disarmed. While handing two small pilot zones to the Lebanese army, Hezbollah MP Hassan Fadullah said that the agreement legitimizes Israel's occupation and gives it what it's failed to achieve on the battlefield. He warned that any attempt to disarm the group by force would fail, and said Iran would
not sign a final deal with the United States before Israel withdraws completely. Jawad Raskala and PR News, Beirut. Search and rescue teams in Venezuela are digging through the rubble of collapse homes and
“buildings after powerful earthquakes killed more than 900 people this week.”
Dory Busgarin reports the disaster is further straining the country's healthcare system. Some 50 buildings collapsed in the seaside state of La Guadilla, says aid workers cease our humanists from Project Hope. Hotels, apartment complexes, buildings with 15 to 20 floors, he says some health centers suffered serious structural damage, putting them at risk of collapse.
He says the health centers he's supporting are asking for basic items, syringes, bandages, iodine to clean wounds, oral rehydration salts for dehydration, and nebulizers for people who have breathing problems after being exposed to the dust and debris. It's a chaotic situation humanists says, but no country can fully prepare for a disaster like this.
