The Israeli army hacked into the control tower of Beirut's Rafic Hariri International Airport, issuing threats against an Iranian civilian aircraft attempting to land, according to official sources.

Following these threats, the Lebanese Ministry of Transport instructed airport authorities to prevent the Iranian plane from entering Lebanese airspace. Sources from the ministry told Anadolu that this directive was issued amid the Israeli army's aggressive stance.

It is worth noting that "Israel" issued no comments regarding these reports. Earlier, Israeli army spokesperson Daniel Hagari stated, "We will not allow any weapons to be transferred to Hezbollah," specifically mentioning that this includes transfers "through Beirut International Airport."

"We will not allow the transfer of weapons to Hezbollah in any form. We are aware of Iranian weapons transfers to Hezbollah, and we will work to thwart them," he added.

Hagari also emphasized, "We declare that we will not allow hostile aircraft carrying weapons to land at the civilian airport in Beirut. This is a civilian airport for civilian use, and it must remain that way."

"Israel" has recurrently claimed weapon placement in civilian areas in Gaza and Lebanon to target civilian areas, committing war crimes and massacres against the countries' civilian population.

In response, Lebanese Minister of Public Works and Transport Ali Hamieh refuted Israeli claims, stating that Beirut International Airport is used solely for civilian purposes. He further explained that "military air traffic at Beirut Airport is subject solely to the approval of the Lebanese army."

Al Mayadeen's correspondent in southern Lebanon reported, on Saturday night, that Israeli occupation warplanes conducted new air raids on the city of Tyre.

As for the southern suburbs of Beirut, another of our correspondents noted four simultaneous Israeli airstrikes targeting the Choueifat area, which coincided with the landing of a civilian airplane at the nearby airport.

This raises serious concerns over the safety of civilian flights amid "Israel's" ongoing aggression, as "Israel" has repeatedly flouted international law and committed a number of documented war crimes.

Beirut's Southern Suburb was also targeted by a number of raids.

In the Bekaa region, Israeli warplanes carried out violent airstrikes on the city of Hermel in northeastern Lebanon. Our correspondent in the region indicated that the airstrikes reached the borders of Lebanon and Syria.

Additionally, violent Israeli raids were reported in the city of Baalbek and its surrounding areas in eastern Lebanon.
