Aggression across Lebanon continues
Earlier today, the Israeli occupation military carried out multiple new airstrikes on the Southern Suburb of the Lebanese capital Beirut, targeting Haret Hreik, Bir al-Abed, al-Sfeir, and al-Hadath, Al Mayadeen’s correspondent reported.
In southern Lebanon, our correspondent confirmed that one person was killed in an Israeli airstrike that hit a house between the towns of Ansariyeh and Adloun.
The occupation forces also targeted the towns of Majdal Zoun and Western Zawtar in southern Lebanon. Additionally, the Israeli military launched new airstrikes on several towns in the Tyre district and the city of Tyre, as well as a strike on the town of Khiam in the morning.
Lebanon's National News Agency (NNA) reported that the Israeli occupation forces conducted artillery shelling on multiple locations in the Jezzine area.
In the Bekaa region, the occupation forces carried out an airstrike near the town of Younin, killing and injuring several people.
Amid ceasefire talks, Israeli warplanes renewed their strikes on multiple residential areas in Beirut's Southern Suburb early on Thursday following a few days of relative calm in the area.
At least two strikes targeted the Haret Hreik area in the suburb after the Israeli military command issued three warnings saying that it would hit three residential buildings in the same area.
