#Lebanon's Embassy in Washington:
@POTUS Trump spoke w/ Amb. Mouawad, informed her of Israeli PM Netanyahu's approval of @SecRubio's proposal: Israel doesn't attack Beirut's southern suburbs & Hezbollah doesn't attack Israel
Hezbollah's approval channeled via Lebanese officials
Israel destroyed my house. The home my parents built for their family. They destroyed our gatherings, mornings and nights.
A strike on Sour (Tyre), a few seconds turned it to rubble and I hate the world for it.
Israeli airstrike on the Beirut southern suburbs, the first since a ceasefire (nominally) went into effect on April 17
Comes as reports emerge of a possible framework agreement of sorts b/w U.S. and Iran in coming days
No immediate word of casualties. Appears a building leveled
#Lebanon: Urgent! RSF calls on the international community to immediately pressure the Israeli army into allowing the rescue of Al Akhbar journalist Amal Khalil, currently trapped near Tayri in southern Lebanon following an Israeli airstrike close to her vehicle. Her life is in danger right now! Continued Israeli airstrikes are preventing rescuers from reaching her.
Israel says it will strike the Masnaa border crossing b/w #Lebanon & #Syria, alleging that Hezbollah uses it for military activity.
It's the key crossing between the two countries.
Judging by the map, it looks like the strike will hit right after the Lebanon checkpoint.
Mariam Dagga of the @AP won an Overseas Press Club of America award for "photographs of death and hunger in Gaza."
She was killed in an Israeli airstrike that hit a hospital last August.
Here is a gallery of her photos showing the harrowing situation:

🇱🇧 Lebanon's teens losing youth to years of conflict and crisis
Hassan Kiki, 16, has been forced to flee his home twice in just two years, one in a generation of Lebanese young people whose formative years have been irreversibly impacted by years of conflict and crisis.

"War has aged us... I lost two cousins and two friends in a massacre.”
Hassan Kiki, 16, is one of many Lebanese kids to feel like successive Israeli wars forced them to grow up sooner than expected.
My latest for @AFP, on the lost childhoods in Lebanon.

❗️🇱🇧 ≈84,000 Lebanese have been displaced in the conflict so far, said Social Affairs Minister @HaneenSayed_LB
Health Ministry’s latest count is 72 killed, 437 wounded
I really hope my fantastic former colleagues @kfahim@leloveluck@siobhan_ogrady@LovedayM@MiriamABerger, just to name a few, are hired by employers who realize how lucky they would be to have such talented journalists. They deserve nothing but the best.
Laid off from the Washington Post, along with the entire roster of Middle East correspondents and our editors. Hard to understand the logic. But I am grateful for my incredible colleagues, whose grit and dedication to the reporting and each other I will miss dearly.
An Israeli-Syrian rapprochement seemed possible last December.
Now, Israel's military expansion in #Syria has raised tensions as they carve out a buffer zone

Most of #Gaza’s schools are destroyed and hundreds of thousands of children cannot go back to class
“The level of trauma among the people of Gaza, including children, is horrific,” @JulietteTouma@AP#GazaCeasefire

Please read this profile of Ahmed Abu Aziz, my former @MiddleEastEye colleague killed by Israel today.
Ahmed was the best of the best. Every chance I had to collaborate with him on a story was a privilege I could not appreciate enough.
May he rest in peace.
A profile I wrote of my slain colleague Ahmed.
As our Jerusalem bureau chief Lubna Masarwa puts it: "He had capacity to see things and to see details and to describe them in a very detailed way, especially women" https://t.co/da95z3mL9H
