US-ISRAEL WAR ON IRAN

Hezbollah vows readiness as ceasefire takes effect

Displaced residents travel back to their homes past the ongoing restoration work at the site of Israeli strikes that targeted the Qasmieh bridge built over the Litani river in the southern Lebanese area of Al Qasmiyeh on April 17, 2026.

Brigadier Pilot Abdulnasser Al Hammadi said the UAE’s military operates “around the clock” in both peace and wartime conditions, stressing that preparedness is not situational but continuous.
