BEIRUT/DAMASCUS (Dispatches) -- Israeli aircraft and artillery struck multiple areas in southern Lebanon on Saturday, while tensions continued in northeastern Syria’s Hasakah province, according to official statements and local reports.
Lebanon’s National News Agency reported that an Israeli drone fired two guided missiles Saturday morning at the Al-Hariq neighborhood, located between the towns of Nabatieh al-Fawqa and Kfar Tebnit in the Nabatieh District. 
Israeli artillery shelled the outskirts of Hadatha and Baraachit, with fire also extending to the Wadi al-Salouqi and Wadi al-Hujair valleys. Israeli drones flew at low altitude over Benaafoul, Maghdouche, Zeita, Anqoun, and Ghaziyeh, according to NNA.
Israeli tanks and armored personnel carriers were also reported moving near Kfar Tebnit and conducting patrols in Haddatha alongside heavy machine-gun fire. There was no immediate word on casualties from Saturday’s strikes.  
The strikes mark a continuation of Israeli atrocities in Lebanon despite a disgraceful U.S.-brokered framework agreement signed in June that includes the gradual deployment of the Lebanese army and the withdrawal of Israeli forces. Lebanese officials and observers say Israeli attacks on southern Lebanon have continued since the deal.
Lebanon’s Health Ministry said last month that Israeli attacks since March 2 had martyred 4,386 people and wounded 12,413.
In northeastern Syria, the city of Hasakah remained tense Saturday following days of unrest between Kurdish and Arab communities. 
Syrian security forces deployed heavily, set up checkpoints, and restricted movement between neighborhoods to prevent demonstrators from reaching protest areas, according to local sources.
Demonstrators gathered in support of adopting the new Syrian flag as the sole reference for political demands, while some youths vandalized symbols associated with the Kurdish community, including a “braid” monument and a banner featuring images of Kurdish female fighters, local sources said.
Security forces fired tear gas to disperse protesters, with reports of injuries among security personnel. Clashes were also reported between security forces and elements of the “Revolutionary Youth” in Hasakah.
Kongra Star, a Kurdish political organization, issued a statement Saturday warning that developments in Hasakah reflect “deliberate attempts to incite discord among Syria’s communities,” calling on Syrian officials to maintain security, protect civilians, and control the movement of armed groups. 
The statement noted reports of armed groups moving toward Hasakah from al-Shaddadi, Deir ez-Zor, and Raqqa.
Hasakah Governor Nour al-Din Ahmed, a Kurd appointed under the SDF-Damascus integration agreement, blamed individuals and groups opposed to the agreement for fueling the unrest, saying they sought “pretexts to mobilize the public.”
In southern Syria, two customs officers were injured Saturday when their patrol came under fire from unidentified gunmen near Izra Bridge on the Damascus–Dara’a highway while escorting a transit convoy. 
The General Authority for Borders and Customs said authorities are following up on the circumstances of the attack to identify those responsible.
