Yemen Huthis hail Hezbollah strikes

Yemen's Iran-backed Huthi rebels praised attacks by Lebanon's Hezbollah on Israel and renewed threats to launch their own assault in response to Israeli strikes on a port in Yemen.

"We congratulate Hezbollah and its Secretary-General on the great and courageous attack carried out by the resistance this morning against the Israeli enemy," the Huthis said in a statement.

The Yemeni rebels said the "strong and effective response … confirms that the resistance is capable, strong and honest in its promise and threats".

The Huthis pledged to launch their own attacks against Israel in response to July 20 strikes that targeted a rebel-run port in the coastal city of Hodeida.

"We reaffirm once again that the Yemeni response is definitely coming," the statement said.

Israeli children woke up to 'boom sounds' as Hezbollah drone hit

 "A [Hezbollah] attack drone fell 300-400 meters from our house," said Avishai Lev, a member of Kibbutz Gonen, which is located in northern Israel.

"The children woke up from the boom sounds around them, and immediately turned to the hobby of estimating where there were falls and which communities now have sirens."

The Israeli school year begins on September 1 and Lev says parents don't know what to do.

"We are currently in a difficult situation with the school year starting in a few days. My three children are supposed to study at Kibbutz Amir in 2nd, 7th, 11th grade — if it opens. 

"Parents who live south of the school object to driving there and bringing their children close to a battlefield."

Lev says that he and other parents will keep their kids at the kibbutzes to study, like they did at the start of the war in October and teachers will have to flit from kibbutz to kibbutz.

"It's not an easy situation, because there is a lack of equipment and manpower, but it gives peace of mind to parents not to have to bring their children near the border, and not to send them on a school bus."

Lebanon PM holds emergency meeting

Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati on Sunday told ministers at an emergency meeting that he had been holding "a series of contacts with Lebanon's friends to stop the escalation".

"What is required is to stop the Israeli aggression first of all, and to apply Resolution 1701," a statement from his office said.

The UN Security Council resolution 1701 ended a 2006 conflict between Israel and Hezbollah and called for the Lebanese army and United Nations peacekeepers to be the only armed forces deployed in south Lebanon.

Mr Mikati also emphasised Lebanon's "support for international efforts that could lead to a ceasefire in Gaza", according to the statement.

UN officials say developments are 'worrying'

UN agencies have described today's developments as "worrying" and called for a de-escalation.

The Office of the United Nations Special Coordinator for Lebanon (UNSCOL) and the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) released a joint statement on social media.

"In light of worrying developments across the Blue Line since the early morning, UNSCOL and UNIFIL call on all to cease fire and refrain from further escalatory action.

"A return to the cessation of hostilities, followed by the implementation of UN Security Council #resolution1701, is the only sustainable way forward.

"We will continue our contacts to strongly urge for de-escalation."
