Aggression on Beirut's southern suburb

Israeli warplanes also launched a series of airstrikes on the Southern Suburb of Beirut for the fifth consecutive day. Two airstrikes targeted the Haret Hreik area, marking the fifth attack and the most intense one near the Al-Nour station and Al-Manar TV channel following threats to the area.

Haret Hreik was hit by three airstrikes after the Israeli army threatened to demolish buildings marked on the maps they release only slightly before the bombardment begins.

Additionally, two very heavy airstrikes were carried out on the parallel street to al-Maamoura Street toward Burj al-Barajneh, causing extensive damage to several buildings and surrounding areas.

In Sfeir, in the Southern Suburb, enemy warplanes carried out an airstrike on the main street, causing massive destruction to commercial shops.

Israeli warplanes also launched a heavy strike on the Hadath-Kafa'at area near the Lycee Belleville School.

Meanwhile, Israeli reconnaissance aircraft continue to fly over Lebanese airspace, from the south to the Bekaa Valley, and over the capital, Beirut.

The Lebanese Ministry of Health reported in its daily update on Saturday evening that the death toll has risen to 3,452 martyrs, with 14,664 injured since the beginning of the aggression on Lebanon.
