[Regnum News Agency] The Shiite "people's militia" of Iraq announced its full readiness and mobilization to provide humanitarian aid to the residents of Lebanon. This was stated in a statement by the militia leader Falih al-Fayya.
He is the titular Iraqi emir of the Popular Mobilisation Forces — Hashd al-Shaabi in Arabic — organized, paid, and officered by the IRGC as their military arm in Iraq.
“We declare our full readiness and mobilization to provide all possible types of assistance at the food, medical and humanitarian levels to our brothers in Lebanon in response to the call of the highest religious authority and out of human duty,” the statement, cited by RIA Novosti, reads.

Falih al-Fayyad also called on other countries to provide aid and humanitarian support to the Lebanese.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, on September 23, the Israeli army announced the expansion of the strike zone on targets of the Shiite movement Hezbollah in Lebanon.

According to the Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant, the IDF will continue fighting until it restores security in northern Israel.

On September 23, the Lebanese Ministry of Health reported that at least 100 people were killed and more than 400 were injured as a result of strikes carried out by the Israeli Air Force on populated areas in southern Lebanon.
