Israeli airstrikes on several areas in Lebanon resulted in several injuries, including children, the Lebanese Health Ministry said on Saturday.

The Israeli aggression targeted areas of Hosh al-Sayyid Ali and Kouakh in Bekaa near the border with Syria, in addition to Saraain near the Zahle-Baalbek highway.

Earlier today, the Deputy Secretary-General of Hezbollah, Sheikh Naim Qassem, warned "Israel" about the repercussions of launching a full-scale war on Lebanon, pointing out that such an escalation would force large numbers of illegal settlers to evacuate the northern part of the '48 occupied territories.

"Every day, we hear about Israeli threats to escalate their aggression in order to repatriate displaced people to their homes. We hereby address them: If you want to increase the number of displaced, you can wage a war. A new war with Hezbollah will not help repatriate displaced people; rather, it will only increase their number."

Sheikh Qassem assured that Hezbollah is prepared for a full-blown war with "Israel" and is not intimidated by the threats from Tel Aviv. He further emphasized that Hezbollah would respond decisively and remain engaged if a war were to be launched against them.

The top Hezbollah official also noted that Hezbollah’s retaliatory attacks on Israeli military targets in the northern occupied territories have met their objectives and warned, “Displaced Israeli settlers cannot return to the northern occupied territories until the war on Gaza winds down.”

Finally, Hezbollah's deputy chief further warned that if "Israel" continues its genocidal war on Gaza, it will face increasing problems, losses, and internal conflict, emphasizing that the occupying entity would not emerge victorious from this prolonged war of attrition.
