Violent Israeli escalation targets Beirut's Dahiyeh and Bekaa... and a family martyred in Mashghara

Beirut's Southern Dahiyeh witnessed a bloody night due to a series of violent airstrikes launched by the Israeli occupation army, targeting residential neighborhoods in Ghobeiry, Haret Hreik, and Hadath. This escalation followed widespread threats and warnings issued by the occupation to the residents of the area, causing a wave of displacement and massive destruction to properties and infrastructure.

In the Western Bekaa region, occupation forces committed a new massacre by targeting an inhabited house in the town of Mashghara, resulting in the martyrdom of four members of one family. The Lebanese Ministry of Health confirmed that among the victims were a five-year-old girl and a seven-year-old boy, in addition to a female citizen who sustained injuries of varying severity.

Field sources reported that Israeli warplanes expanded their raids to include the town of Toul in the vicinity of Nabatieh city, and the town of Kharayeb in the Zahrani district of southern Lebanon. These attacks come amid the occupation's intensification of its aerial operations, which have not spared villages and towns far from direct confrontation lines.

In the east of the country, enemy aircraft launched a raid targeting the area between the towns of Brital and Taybeh, south of Baalbek city, amidst intensive drone flights. The National News Agency reported that the shelling coincided with Israeli threats that included wide areas in the Bekaa and the South, further complicating the humanitarian situation.

Official data issued by the Public Health Emergency Operations Center indicate a steady increase in the number of victims, with the aggression's toll reaching 123 martyrs since last Monday dawn. Medical teams also recorded injuries to about 683 people with various wounds, amid significant pressure faced by the Lebanese health sector.

On the field level in the northern front, sirens sounded in the Metulla settlement and nearby border areas for fear of rocket shells falling from Lebanon. Sources reported that the resistance continues to confront Israeli infiltration attempts and target soldier gatherings along the Blue Line and deep in the Upper Galilee.

For its part, Hezbollah announced in successive statements the execution of military operations targeting Israeli occupation army positions, including shelling a position in the town of Markaba with rockets for the third time. These operations come in response to the continuous Israeli aggressions that systematically target civilians and Lebanese villages.

Recent Israeli warnings included vital cities and strategic areas south of the Litani River, including the cities of Tyre and Bint Jbeil and their surrounding villages. Through this policy, the occupation aims to empty large areas of their residents and impose a new field reality through excessive military force.

These developments come in the context of a comprehensive aggression launched by Israel since last September, turning border confrontations into a wide-ranging war that included all Lebanese territories. This war has so far led to the martyrdom of more than 4,000 people and the injury of about 17,000 others, according to official statistics.

In the context of regional escalation, reports indicate that the scope of the confrontation has expanded to include multiple fronts, warning of the region sliding into a wider conflict whose end cannot be predicted. Israeli airstrikes continue to target Beirut's Southern Dahiyeh almost daily, turning entire neighborhoods into rubble.

Despite international efforts aimed at reaching a ceasefire, the field continues to witness unprecedented escalation by the occupation army. Lebanese sources confirm that the deliberate targeting of civilians and children in the Bekaa and the South constitutes a blatant violation of all international laws and norms.

Ambulance and civil defense teams continue to remove rubble and search for missing persons under the debris of destroyed homes in various Lebanese regions. With the continuation of the raids, fears of a worsening humanitarian crisis increase amid a lack of basic resources and the disruption of livelihoods for thousands of displaced families.

An Israeli enemy raid that targeted a house in the town of Mashghara led to the martyrdom of four citizens, including a five-year-old girl and a seven-year-old boy.
