Attack on Ansar: Israel strikes Hezbollah's headquarters, Tehran rejects ceasefire

The Israeli army reports that overnight the Hezbollah headquarters in the area of the village of Ansar in southern Lebanon was attacked, in response to the rocket fire that the terrorist organization carried out yesterday against Israeli territory from the area of the village. A few hours after the launches, a spokesperson for the IDF informed the residents of the village from which the rockets were launched in Arabic to evacuate the area for their protection. "Hezbollah - states the IDF - is installing terrorist infrastructures in civilian areas, thus endangering the Lebanese population. Positioning missile launchers and firing from civilian areas in Lebanon constitutes a planned and cynical exploitation of Lebanese residents to promote Hezbollah's terrorist objectives," writes the IDF in a statement.

Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, president of the Iranian parliament, states instead on X that Tehran does not intend to reach a ceasefire in the war. "We are certainly not seeking a ceasefire. We believe that the aggressor must be hit so that they learn the lesson and never think of attacking Iran again," wrote the powerful president of the Iranian parliament, adding that Israel relies on a cycle of "war, negotiations, ceasefire, and then war again" to maintain its dominance, and stated that Iran will interrupt this cycle.

The Deputy Minister of Health, Ali Jafarian, as reported by Al Jazeera, announced that there are 1,255 victims, including 200 children and 11 healthcare workers, and over 12,000 injured in Iran since the beginning of the U.S. and Israeli attack.
