The past few hours have witnessed a dangerous Israeli military escalation targeting Lebanese areas far from traditional battlefronts, as an airstrike targeted an apartment inside the Beddawi refugee camp in the city of Tripoli, northern Lebanon. The attack resulted in a number of martyrs and wounded, in the absence of any prior warnings from the occupation army, which reinforces the hypothesis of an assassination operation targeting a leading figure whose identity has not yet been revealed.
In the capital Beirut, occupation aircraft continued to target the southern Dahiyeh with a series of violent raids, with shelling hitting a building within the Ghobeiry municipality. This targeting is the eighth of its kind to hit Dahiyeh in the past twenty-four hours, indicating an intensification of military pressure on Hezbollah's main stronghold.
Field sources also reported another Israeli raid targeting a residential apartment in the densely populated Haret Hreik area, without any evacuation orders issued for residents. This coincided with a direct targeting of two cars on the road leading to Beirut International Airport, a qualitative development in the course of Israeli military operations that had not previously targeted this vital road.
Lebanese Ministry of Health announced that the shelling targeting cars on the airport road led to the martyrdom of three people and the injury of six others with varying degrees of wounds. These attacks come as part of the occupation army's attempts to pursue those it describes as Hezbollah cadres, with Israeli military sources suggesting that the target is the party's fire power commander.
Mount Lebanon Governorate was not spared from the aggression, as it was subjected to three concentrated airstrikes, one of which targeted a residential apartment in the Choueifat area near the Gandour factory. These raids caused widespread destruction of property and a state of panic among civilians in the areas surrounding the capital Beirut.
On the other hand, Lebanese Hezbollah responded with a series of qualitative military operations, announcing that it had targeted the military industries complex belonging to 'Rafael' company south of Acre using swarms of kamikaze drones. The party confirmed in its statement that the operation achieved its objectives accurately as a response to Israeli massacres against civilians.
In the ground field, Hezbollah fighters engaged in fierce clashes with an Israeli force that attempted to infiltrate and advance towards the border town of Dhayra. Resistance sources confirmed confirmed casualties among the infiltrating force, which forced it to retreat under heavy fire cover, coinciding with the targeting of occupation gatherings in Khallat Wadi al-Asafir in the city of Khiam.
Sirens blared intensely in wide areas of the Upper Galilee, extending to the northern occupied Syrian Golan and the Western Galilee. This alert came out of fear of rockets and drones launched from southern Lebanon, which prompted the Israeli home front to issue strict instructions to residents to remain inside shelters and fortified areas.
Israeli media reports indicated that the recent rocket barrages launched from Lebanon were intense, with the army monitoring the launch of at least 8 rockets towards the Upper Galilee in a short time. Hezbollah also targeted occupation forces stationed around the city of Khiam with qualitative rocket barrages to impede attempts at ground infiltration.
In the context of political and military stances, Sheikh Naim Qassem affirmed the party's continuation of the open confrontation and its refusal to surrender to Israeli military pressures, no matter the sacrifices. These statements come at a time when the occupation army continues to attack rocket platforms and drone manufacturing facilities in areas south of the Litani River.
The targeting on the airport road is the first of its kind, as civilian cars on this vital route have not been shelled since the beginning of the current escalation.
