The Israeli occupation renewed its airstrikes on the southern suburbs of Beirut, targeting the Ghobeiry area.

Lebanon's National News Agency reported that two strikes were launched by an Israeli drone, followed by a third, highly intense bombing carried out by warplanes. The latter targeted the same area near the Ghobeiry municipality, causing significant destruction to a building.

In this context, the Head of Ghobeiry's Municipality Council, Maan Al-Khalil, stated that the number of airstrikes in the area has reached 11 in less than 48 hours.

In a statement to Al Mayadeen, al-Khalil detailed that the recent airstrikes targeted the vicinity of the municipality and Ghobeiry's main street, resulting in extensive damage to residential buildings and vital infrastructure.

Al-Khalil described these attacks as "an attempt to suffocate Lebanese civil society," but emphasized the unwavering resolve of the Lebanese people, stating, "We are steadfast and will endure. We will rebuild everything that the Israeli occupation has destroyed."

Six new Civil Defense martyrs

In another deliberate attack on Civil Defense personnel, 6 were martyred, including 4 paramedics, in an Israeli enemy raid on the town of Arabsalim, south of Lebanon

The Public Health Emergency Operations Center issued a statement on Thursday evening, announcing that the Israeli enemy's raid on Arabsalim targeted a new point of the Islamic Health Authority - Civil Defense Association, which led to the martyrdom of six people, including four paramedics.

The Ministry of Public Health condemned the crimes of the Israeli enemy against health workers and health facilities, stressing the responsibility of the international community to "put an end to war crimes, the number of which is increasing as the aggression continues."

Israeli warplanes launched raids targeting the towns of Zeita and Qennarit in the Saida district in South Lebanon, in addition to a series of raids targeting Nabatieh, after issuing threats to bomb it.

Furthermore, Israeli fighter jets broke the sound barrier over several Lebanese areas, and Israeli drones continue to conduct surveillance missions over Lebanese regions, including Beirut.

Israeli airstrikes on Beirut’s Southern Suburb

The Israeli offensive also targeted Beirut's Southern Suburb for the third consecutive day, with strikes reported in Chiah and Ghobeiry.

Chiah came under attack with four strikes, impacting Abdel Karim al-Khalil Street, Maroun Mesk Street, near Chiyah's Husseiniyah, and the al-Jammal produce market.

Other airstrikes hit areas in Ghobeiry, Haret Hreik, Burj al-Barajneh, and locations near Beirut International Airport.

Meanwhile, the Lebanese Ministry of Health reported that since the beginning of the Israeli aggression on the country, 3,386 people have been killed and 14,417 others have been injured.

Among these, 21 people were killed, and 73 injured in Israeli strikes on Wednesday alone, according to the Ministry.
