Following three Israeli drone strikes, Israeli occupation forces bombed and destroyed a building they had threatened earlier in Hadath in the southern suburb of Beirut.

The building that was destroyed is situated next to two schools, as the bombs were dropped during a school day in a usually crowded area, during rush hour in the holy month of Ramadan. 

Simultaneously, the occupation launched a wave of heavy airstrikes across southern Lebanon.

Al Mayadeen correspondent reported that search and rescue operations are still undergoing in Kfar Tibnit in Southern Lebanon, in the Nabatieh governorate, where the Israeli warplanes destroyed a house earlier in the day.

The Public Health Emergency Operations Center of the Lebanese Health Ministry issued a statement confirming that the Israeli raid on the town of Kfar Tibnit resulted in an updated death toll of three martyrs, including one woman.

In addition, 18 people were injured today, including six children and eight women, during "Israel's" relentless raids in South Lebanon. 

Rockets fired an 'Israeli pretext to resume aggression': Hezbollah

A senior Hezbollah source announced on Friday that the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon is fully committed to the ceasefire agreement brokered and effectuated in November 2024.

According to the source, Hezbollah was not involved in the rockets launched toward northern occupied Palestine earlier this morning, affirming that such incidents reflect suspicious pretexts to justify the continuation of the Israeli aggression on Lebanon.

Hezbollah media relations announced in a statement that the Al-Quds Day celebration scheduled for today was cancelled due to the Israeli aggression on the southern suburb of Beirut.

Katz threatens Beirut

This comes after Security Minister Israeli Katz said that Lebanon's capital, Beirut, was the equivalent of Kiryat Shmona, threatening action against the city. "If there is no calm in Kiryat Shmona and Galilee's settlements, then there will be no calm in Beirut," he claimed after the spokesperson for the Israeli military announced two rocket launches toward the northern settlements, one of which was intercepted, while the other fell short in Lebanese lands.

Israeli warplanes targeted the Iqlim al-Tuffah heights, as well as the town of Kafr Tibnit in southern Lebanon. 

Israeli aggression also targeted Birket al-Jabbour in Kfarhouna, Mount Safi in Jezzine, as well as Aramta and Sajad. 

The outskirts of Qaaqaiyat al-Jisr near the Litani River came under intense artillery shelling. Simultaneously, Israeli strikes also targeted the vicinity of Yahmor al-Shaqif.  

The Israeli artillery bombardment also hit the outskirts of Naqoura and Aita al-Shaab.  

This came amid the constant hovering of Israeli warplanes over the villages of Tyre and Bint Jbeil districts. Meanwhile, the city of Saida and its eastern villages witnessed intense low-altitude overflights, as did Jezzine and various areas in southern Lebanon.  

"Israel" also targeted the area between Qaaqaiyat al-Jisr and Kfarsir, while artillery and phosphorus shelling targeted the eastern vicinity of Khiam. Kfar Kila was also targeted, while an Israeli shell was launched toward al-Taybeh. 

Al Mayadeen's correspondent also reported that Israeli aircraft dropped a sound bomb on a house in Houla, Marjayoun, in southern Lebanon.
