Israeli occupation forces continue their attacks on Beirut's Southern Suburb, Beqaa, and South Lebanon, resulting in the martyrdom of one person and injuries to dozens.

The Lebanese Ministry of Health announced that one person has been martyred and 15 others injured in an Israeli strike on the Gallery Semaan area just outside the Southern Suburb of Beirut.

In Beqaa, two Israeli airstrikes targeted the northern entrance of the town of Mashghara in western Beqaa, resulting in two martyrs, while the search is underway for missing persons, according to Al Mayadeen's correspondent.

Our correspondent also confirmed that the Israeli occupation launched a raid on a house in the town of Hezzarta, east of Zahle district.

The occupation's air force launched a raid on the Hermel border area with Syria and another in the vicinity of the town of Akroum in the Akkar border area as well.

In the south, Al Mayadeen's correspondent confirmed that two were martyred in an Israeli airstrike on the city of Nabatieh earlier today. Moreover, the occupation aircraft launched two airstrikes on the Litani River on the outskirts of the town of Blat.

Israeli warplanes also launched an airstrike targeting the town of Shawkin in the Nabatieh district, as well as another strike in the area between the al-Maslakh and al-Salhiya neighborhoods.

An Israeli drone carried out a strike with a guided missile targeting the area between the towns of Abba and al-Douweir.

Further strikes hit the town of Halousiyeh, in addition to an airstrike targeting the town of Haris in the Bent Jbeil district, resulting in casualties.

The correspondent reported that Israeli warplanes have also bombed the Shebaa area and renewed their strikes on the city of Khiam.

Additionally, it was noted that Israeli warplanes broke the sound barrier several times over various Lebanese regions.

On its part, the Public Health Emergency Operations Center of the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health has released its daily report on the toll and repercussions of the Israeli aggression on Lebanon.

The report stated that Israeli airstrikes on Friday, November 1, 2024, resulted in 71 martyrs and 169 injuries.

The total number of citizens killed in the Israeli aggression on Lebanon has risen to 2,968, in addition to 13,319 injuries as of yesterday.

At least 19 Lebanese hospitals were in 'Israel's' 'kill zone': CNN

Reports issued by the Lebanese Health Ministry and an investigation by CNN revealed that Israeli airstrikes profusely targeted locations in dangerous proximity to hospitals, which are protected facilities under international law. 

CNN sampled 240 airstrikes launched by the occupation on Lebanon over the past month and found that at least 24 hospitals were located within a 500-meter radius of the targeted zone. 

"Israel", according to the findings of the investigation, dropped its bombs within the "lethal range", or at a distance of 340 meters from a total of 19 hospitals at least. 

CNN's analysis focused solely on airstrikes that were confirmed through publicly accessible images or mentioned in Israeli military evacuation orders from September 23 to October 23.

Trevor Ball, a former senior explosive ordnance technician for the US military, said, "Even a hospital that is not directly targeted can be damaged from the blast wave or fragmentation caused by a nearby strike," noting that fragments of the explosion could injure or kill people hundreds of meter away if they were not adequately protected or covered.

In Beirut and its Southern Suburb, 10 hospitals were within "Israel's" kill zone, according to the investigation. 

The report further noted that "Israel" has regularly used 1,000-pound and 2,000-pound bombs on Lebanon, causing devastating destruction to neighborhoods and towns, according to an analysis of post-strike imagery by weapons experts.
