14 Martyrs in a Series of Intense Israeli Raids on Southern and Eastern Lebanon

Lebanese territories witnessed another bloody day on Monday, as at least 14 people were martyred in a series of Israeli airstrikes targeting various areas in the south and east of the country. These attacks come as part of the ongoing military escalation since the beginning of March, with the raids hitting residential areas and vital facilities.

In the Tyre district, official sources reported the martyrdom of three individuals as a result of an airstrike that targeted the town of Tayr Debba, causing widespread destruction at the targeted site. The raids also targeted the town of Al-Hammadiya, where a drone targeted a motorcycle, resulting in the immediate martyrdom of its driver amidst intense overflights by warplanes.

The ambulance sector was not spared from direct targeting, as two paramedics affiliated with the Islamic Health Authority were martyred in a raid carried out by an Israeli drone on the town of Haris in the Bint Jbeil district. In the same town, a second raid led to the martyrdom of two other people, indicating the occupation's intensification of its strikes against medical teams and civilians.

In a related context, the Lebanese Ministry of Health announced the martyrdom of a paramedic from the Al-Risala Health Ambulance Association and the injury of four others with varying degrees of severity. This targeting occurred while ambulance teams were carrying out their humanitarian duties in the town of Siddiqin in the Tyre district, raising the toll of victims among medical personnel.

As for the Nabatieh district, an Israeli drone targeted a civilian car in the town of Kafr Rumman, leading to the martyrdom of four people inside. This coincided with another raid that targeted the town of Burghuz in the Hasbaya district, resulting in the martyrdom of one person and the injury of three others who were subsequently transferred to nearby hospitals.

The raids extended to include the Western Beqaa region, where warplanes carried out a violent raid on the town of Maydoun, causing extensive material damage to properties. These attacks come at a time when the occupation army claims to be targeting Hezbollah sites, while field data confirms civilian casualties in most locations.

In the capital Beirut, Israeli warplanes flew at low altitude over the southern suburb, causing a state of panic among the remaining residents. This overflight was followed by an airstrike targeting a neighborhood, shortly after Israeli warnings were issued demanding residents to evacuate the area immediately.

The occupation army issued new evacuation orders covering more than 40 towns in southern Lebanon, demanding residents to move to areas north of the Zahrani River. These warnings are considered a prelude to new waves of intense shelling, as the areas targeted for displacement constitute about 10% of the total area of Lebanese territory.

For its part, the Chief of Staff of the occupation army pledged to intensify military operations and expand the scope of airstrikes in the coming phase. These threats are accompanied by field movements indicating the occupation's intention to continue military pressure by destroying infrastructure and residential areas in border villages and the Lebanese interior.

According to the latest updates from the Lebanese Ministry of Health, the total number of aggression victims since March 2nd has risen to 1497 martyrs and 4639 injured. Lebanese hospitals are under immense pressure due to the continuous influx of injured, amidst official warnings of a severe shortage of medical supplies and basic necessities.

Hospitals' needs are increasing and challenges are escalating amid continued aggression and rising numbers of victims.
