A series of raids on the Beirut suburbs, and Hezbollah announces the implementation of 24 operations

Al Jazeera's correspondent reported that Israeli occupation aircraft launched a series of raids on the southern suburbs of Beirut on Wednesday evening and Thursday morning.


Meanwhile, Hezbollah announced carrying out 24 operations to confront Israeli attempts to advance in southern Lebanon and against military sites, gatherings and settlements in northern Israel.


Al Jazeera's correspondent reported that the southern suburb had been subjected to 7 raids since Wednesday evening, and black smoke rose over the southern suburb after the Israeli army issued a warning to residents to evacuate. During the first wave of raids, residents were seen rushing to leave the area in their cars following the warnings.


Israeli raids targeted the southern suburbs of Beirut on Tuesday and Wednesday morning, and the raids on Wednesday targeted buildings in the areas of Ghobeiry, Haret Hreik, and Burj al-Barajneh, according to the official National News Agency.


On the other hand, the official National News Agency reported early Wednesday that an Israeli raid targeted a residential apartment in the Aramoun area, which is not part of the areas traditionally associated with Hezbollah.


The Ministry of Health said in an updated toll on Wednesday evening that the raid resulted in the death of 8 people - including 3 children and 3 women - in addition to 17 wounded.


An Israeli drone targeted a building inhabited by displaced people in the Doha Aramoun area in Mount Lebanon at dawn today, causing a number of injuries, in addition to significant material damage to the targeted building.


Hezbollah attacks

The Israeli army announced on Wednesday evening that about 60 rockets were fired from Lebanon towards Israel.


In the details of Hezbollah's attacks, the party announced that it had bombed "for the third time a gathering of Israeli enemy forces east of the town of Maroun al-Ras."


Hezbollah also announced that it had bombarded "a gathering of Israeli enemy forces on the southern outskirts of the town of Bint Jbeil with a salvo of 'Nasr 1' rockets."


In a remarkable development, the party announced yesterday, Wednesday, that it had bombed the headquarters of the Israeli Ministry of Defense in Tel Aviv twice with what it described as qualitative attack drones and with ballistic missiles of the “Qader 2” type. It also announced the bombing of the Glilot base in the suburbs of Tel Aviv and two other bases in northern Israel.


Earlier on Wednesday, the Israeli army announced the death of a captain and 5 soldiers in a battle in southern Lebanon, in which 4 other soldiers were also injured.


The Israeli army added that the officer and the dead soldiers belonged to the 51st Battalion of the Golani Brigade.


Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper said that the six were killed in a zero-distance clash with Hezbollah fighters who were ambushed inside a bombed building before the force entered, noting that the Israeli army believes that the party fighters emerged from a tunnel and then left.


The battle lasted for about 3 hours, between 10:00 am and 1:00 pm. It took a long time to transport the wounded and dead. According to military sources, the ambush was complex and complicated.


Israeli sources had previously announced the killing of 7 Israeli soldiers in the collapse of a building in a village in southern Lebanon.


Thus, the number of Israeli army dead in southern Lebanon since the start of its attacks last September has risen to 53, including officers and soldiers.


In a development related to the war in Lebanon, the Yedioth Ahronoth website said that warships participated in the fighting alongside the Israeli Navy and ground forces and in directing the air force towards specific targets on the Lebanese front.


The Israeli army said that the navy is actively participating in offensive and defensive operations, especially in intercepting suicide drones and targeting Hezbollah's leadership and headquarters.


After clashes with factions in Lebanon - most notably Hezbollah - that began the day after Israel launched its war of extermination on Gaza, Tel Aviv expanded the scope of the extermination to include most areas of Lebanon - including the capital Beirut - through air strikes, and it also began a ground invasion in the south.


The Israeli aggression on Lebanon resulted in a total of 3,287 deaths and 14,222 injuries, including a large number of children and women, in addition to more than 1.2 million displaced persons.
