SECURITY UPDATE: ENEMY RECONNAISSANCE DRONES, WARPLANES STRIKE BORDER VILLAGE IN SOUTHERN LEBANON OVERNIGHT

Israeli enemy reconnaissance aircraft flew over southern Lebanon’s western and central sectors, reaching the Litani River, from night until early morning on Thursday, amidst continued launching of illuminating bombs over the border villages adjacent to the Blue Line.

The enemy’s warplanes raided at 10:00 pm last night Ayta Al-Shaab and Marwahine, resulting in significant damage to properties and crops.

They also raided the southern Lebanese town of Al-Dhaira, targeting an uninhabited house, leading to its destruction, and damaging the electricity network.

Civil defense teams evacuated a number of citizens from Al-Dhaira to hospitals in Tyre, due to breathing difficulties and suffocation following a raid on the town.

An airstrike on southern Lebanon’s Yarin outskirts ignited a fire in the targeted location.

It is worth mentioning that hostile airstrikes are causing air pollution during and after the bombing, leading to skin rashes, breathing difficulties, and suffocation.

Irbid’s Above-Average Rainfall Sets Stage for Flourishing Summer Agriculture

Irbid: The recent rainfall in Irbid has surpassed 100 percent of the annual average, signaling promising prospects for the upcoming summer agricultural season, according to Abdelhafez Abu Orabi, Director of the Irbid Agriculture Directorate.

Speaking to the Jordan News Agency (Petra) on Thursday, Orabi emphasized that the substantial rainfall experienced in the region during the recent depression will significantly bolster soil moisture levels.

This will enhance conditions for summer agriculture, contribute to the replenishment of dams and groundwater reservoirs, and foster the growth of weeds, thereby extending their lifespan, a factor that will positively impact pastures in the area, he added.

The percentage of rainfall for the current season in the governorate’s districts is as follows: Qasabah Irbid and Bani Ubaid Districts recorded 107 percent (449.5 mm), Bani Kenana 123 percent (554 mm), Ramtha 138 percent (346 mm), Taibe 145 percent (652 mm), Koura 131 percent (591 mm), Al-Wasatiya 154 percent (694
