French Daily Claims Iranian Spy Spilled The Beans on Hassan Nasrallah

The French newspaper “Le Parisien” claimed that “an Iranian spy informed Israel of the news of the arrival of the Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah to the southern suburb of Beirut following the funeral of the leader of the party’s drone unit, Mohammed Sorur, and that the deputy commander of the Quds Force in Lebanon, Abbas Nilforoushan, was with him in the same car.

The newspaper reported “Israel waited for Nasrallah’s meeting with the party’s leaders to begin before carrying out the raid,” revealing that “Nasrallah and the party’s leaders met in a location 30 meters underground.

In addition to Nasrallah and the deputy commander of the Iranian Quds Force, 12 senior Hezbollah officials attended the meeting.”

The Israeli Channel 12 reported “the commander of the Lebanese region in Israeli military intelligence was the one who ordered the raid on Nasrallah, who was inside an underground hole in the southern suburb.” The channel said that “the same official was at the army headquarters in Tel Aviv during the execution,” adding: “The raid on the suburb was planned in advance due to information built over the years by the Shin Bet and Mossad.”

The attack began after the Israeli Air Force dropped 80 MK84 bunker-busting bombs, each weighing one ton, according to a report by the Israeli Broadcasting Authority, while each bomb is capable of penetrating fortifications at a depth of 50 to 70 meters underground.

It was “Unit 119’, known as ‘the Bat’ in the Israeli Air Force that carried out the operation, while the aircrafts that carried out the attack are of the F-15 variety.

According to Israeli Channel 13, Hezbollah’s main headquarters is located on the 14th floor underground as reported by Jordan24 based on a report from Al Quds Al Arabi.

Gaza Faces Public Health Crises

Amid sweltering heat, raw sewage and overflowing trash, displaced families in southern Gaza are facing an escalating public health crisis as aid remains blocked and medical supplies dwindle.

In the makeshift coastal encampments of Al Mawasi, families have no choice but to live in unsanitary conditions that are rapidly turning deadly, Louise Wateridge, Senior Emergency Officer at Palestine refugee agency, UNRWA, told UN News.

She described an increasingly dire situation: malnourished children and families, already worn down by months of war, battle unrelenting heat, unsanitary conditions, a lack of clean water and limited access to healthcare.

“The trash is just out of control. The sewage, the rodents, the pests, the rats, the mice – all of these animals are going between the structures that people are sheltering in,” she said.

As the days hot up, “disease is spreading. There is not enough medicine,” she added. UNRWA teams are conducting intensive clean up campaigns, but their resources are running out.

They’ve got about 10 days left of pesticides. Supplies are going to run out,” Ms. Wateridge warned.

Heavy equipment destroyed

The worsening conditions are being compounded by the destruction of Gaza’s public health infrastructure.

According to the UN humanitarian coordination office (OCHA), more than 30 vehicles essential for waste management, water supply and sewage maintenance were destroyed by Israeli airstrikes between 21 and 22 April.

In the past week alone, at least 23 reported strikes have hit tents sheltering internally displaced persons (IDPs), killing dozens of civilians – including women, children, and persons with disabilities.

Health system under strain

OCHA also noted that Gaza’s health system is continuing to collapse.

Over half of the remaining health facilities are located in zones under evacuation orders, posing serious access challenges for communities in urgent need. There are also widespread shortages of medicine, equipment and medical staff.

As of 15 April, an estimated 420,000 people have been displaced – many for the second or third time.

Shrinking humanitarian space

Humanitarian space continues to be shut down. Vital humanitarian aid has not entered Gaza for 52 consecutive days.

OCHA noted that between 15 and 21 April, nearly half of the planned humanitarian movements were denied or impeded.

It reported that out of 42 planned aid missions across the Gaza Strip that were coordinated with the Israeli authorities, 20 were denied, two faced impediments, 19 were facilitated and one was cancelled.

Meanwhile, UN agencies also have to contend with lack of funds to sustain their programmes.

As of 22 April, donors have disbursed about $569 million out of the $4.07 billion (about 14 per cent) required to meet the most critical humanitarian needs of three million people requiring assistance in Gaza and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem.

Gallant Admits Hamas Wouldn’t Harm Israel Captives

In an interview on the “Call Me Back” podcast, former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant admitted that they knew Hamas would do everything necessary to preserve the lives of Israeli captives because they were “their insurance policy.”

Gallant’s admissions completely contradict Israel’s claims and propaganda regarding the captives, especially concerning the Bibas children, confirming reports that some Israeli captives were killed in Israeli airstrikes.
