Israeli occupation aircraft conducted a series of airstrikes at midnight on Wednesday at dawn, targeting several towns in the south and the Bekaa Valley, as well as the Jiyeh area, located approximately 28 km south of Beirut.

In the south, the Israeli aggression extended to the towns of Hadatha, Yatar, Aita al-Jabal, the outskirts of Aaqbiyeh, Teir Dibba, Shaqra, Babliyeh, Mansouri, Habboush, Maarakeh, Ain Qana, Aba, the outskirts of Abbasiyeh, and Tura.
