Israel intercepts missile from Yemen; rejects ceasefire with Hezbollah
Tel Aviv [Israel]: The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) claimed that the advanced "Arrow" Aerial Defense System of the country successfully intercepted a missile fired from Yemen.
Sharing a post on X, the IDF said, "A missile was fired from Yemen towards Israel and successfully intercepted by the "Arrow" Aerial Defense System."
"Sirens and explosions were heard following the interception and falling shrapnel," the post added.
Meanwhile, Israel has refused to heed calls for a ceasefire with Hezbollah, according to a report by Al Jazeera. Notably, amid the escalating tensions between Israel and Lebanon, the United States has called for a 21-day ceasefire on the Israel-Lebanon border to prevent an escalation of war and give diplomacy a chance there and in Gaza.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has strongly denounced the United States for its ongoing support of Israel's military actions in Gaza, calling on the international community to halt weapons supply to Israel, Al Jazeera reported.
Addressing the UNGA, Abbas said, "This madness cannot continue. The entire world is responsible for what is happening to our people."
Abbas also accused the US of allowing Israel's assault to continue by repeatedly vetoing UN Security Council resolutions calling for a ceasefire in Gaza.
"We regret that the United States, the largest democracy in the world, obstructed three times draft resolutions of the Security Council demanding Israel to observe a ceasefire. The US alone stood and said, 'No, the fighting is going to continue,'" he said, according to Al Jazeera.
Earlier, in a significant blow to Hezbollah, the IDF announced the elimination of Muhammad Hussein Srour, Commander of the organisation's Aerial Command, in a precision airstrike in Beirut. Sharing a post on X, the IDF wrote, "Eliminated: Commander of Hezbollah's Aerial Command, Muhammad Hussein Srour, in a precise IAF strike in Beirut."
