Widespread Israeli aggression targets Beirut and several Lebanese areas with intense raids

The Lebanese capital Beirut and several areas in Beqaa and the South witnessed a dangerous Israeli military escalation, as occupation aircraft launched a series of intense and widespread airstrikes. This sudden attack came without any prior warnings to civilians, causing a state of panic and confusion in the targeted areas directly hit by missiles.

Field sources reported that the Israeli shelling focused on densely populated residential neighborhoods in the heart of the capital Beirut and the southern suburbs, in addition to targeting scattered locations in Central and Western Beqaa and the city of Tyre in the south of the country. Thick columns of smoke were seen covering the sky of the targeted areas, while ambulances and rescue teams rushed to try to reach the affected sites and provide assistance to the victims.

For its part, the Israeli occupation army claimed that the operation targeted about 100 headquarters and military infrastructure belonging to Hezbollah across Lebanese territories. The army command claimed that the raids focused on elite units, advanced missile systems, and drone launch platforms, based on accurate intelligence information and plans that had been prepared over many weeks.

Reports from the field indicate that this wave of shelling is considered the most violent and widespread carried out by the Israeli air force in a long time, given the geography and timing of the targets. The shelling caused widespread destruction of property and infrastructure, especially in densely populated areas, increasing the likelihood of significant human casualties among civilians.

Amidst the continued intensive overflights of warplanes and reconnaissance aircraft, a state of cautious anticipation prevails in Lebanese circles, fearing an expansion of the aggression to include other areas. Civil defense teams continue search operations under the rubble in the destroyed sites in Beirut, facing extreme difficulties in movement due to the debris and the size of the explosions that rocked the capital.

The attack is the largest wave of raids carried out by the Israeli army recently and targeted densely populated residential areas.
