The death toll from the ongoing Israeli aggression against Lebanon has risen to 2,867 martyrs, with 13,047 individuals reported injured, as confirmed by the Lebanese Ministry of Health's Operations Center for Public Health on Thursday.

In its daily report, the Center detailed that Israeli airstrikes on Wednesday resulted in 45 additional martyrs and 110 injuries.

For the fourth consecutive week, Israeli occupation forces have relentlessly conducted airstrikes on various villages and towns across Lebanon.

On Thursday evening, they targeted the outskirts of Aabbasiyyeh and executed an air raid on a house in Jwaya, located in the Tyre district, completely demolishing the structure.

On the same evening, the Israeli military issued a new threat to the residents of Nabatieh, demanding their immediate evacuation. The city has already faced intense and continuous bombardments, leading to significant destruction of its infrastructure, including numerous buildings and its well-known commercial market.

In addition, Israeli forces targeted the town of al-Khiam with heavy artillery shelling, attempting to invade its neighborhoods after reaching the outskirts. However, they were forced to retreat due to counterattacks from the Islamic Resistance of Lebanon, which fired rockets to prevent further advancement into the town.

The towns of Jebbayn, Seddiqine, Yohmor, and Doueir also experienced concentrated Israeli artillery bombardments, including the use of phosphorus shells. In the Jezzine district, an Israeli airstrike on Kfar Houneh resulted in injuries among civilians.

Israeli warplanes conducted a series of strikes targeting various neighborhoods in the town of Ansar, followed by additional airstrikes on another neighborhood within the same town. The town of Yohmor in the Nabatieh district endured five airstrikes, coinciding with artillery fire targeting the outskirts of Arnoun.
