«حزب الله» يتعهد عدم إسناد إيران

Hezbollah vows not to back Iran in new conflicts On 25 October 2026 (14 Jumada Al‑Awwal 1448 H), Lebanese sources reported that Hezbollah confirmed it would not provide support to Iran in any new military operations. The statement was relayed to Speaker Nabih Berri, who in turn informed President Michel Aoun. According to parliamentary and ministerial sources, Hezbollah’s decision reflects concerns about the potential backlash from its popular base and the broader Shi’a community in Lebanon. The pledge follows a previous incident in March 2026 when Hezbollah’s involvement in an Iranian‑backed operation caused embarrassment for Berri in front of Aoun and Prime Minister Nafe Salam. Israeli military operation in Khirbet, West Bank The Israeli Defense Forces launched a large‑scale operation in the town of Khirbet, south of the West Bank, on 24 October 2026. The operation involved the occupation of houses and the forced displacement of hundreds of families. It followed an attack by Palestinian militants on an Israeli checkpoint near the fringe of the town, which resulted in the deaths of two soldiers and injuries to three others. The Israeli government has described the operation as a new security measure in the besieged West Bank. In response, the Palestinian Authority called for urgent international intervention, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned of a “big surprise” and a “shock” if the situation escalated. Drone attack on Iranian‑Kurdish opposition camp in Erbil On 21 October 2026, a drone carrying explosives struck a camp belonging to the Iranian‑Kurdish opposition in the northeastern part of Erbil, Iraq. The attack, reported by Reuters security sources, followed a missile strike on the same camp earlier that week. The Iranian‑Kurdish opposition has been targeted repeatedly by Iranian forces, which accuse the group of collaborating with Israel and Western countries. The incident comes amid the broader context of the U.S.–Israel war against Iran, during which Iranian-backed Kurdish groups have been subjected to drone and missile attacks.
