The Syrian Ministry of Health has announced its full readiness around the clock to provide medical and emergency services to those arriving from Lebanon. Emergency medical personnel are on standby 24/7 to offer immediate health responses, particularly through the emergency hotline 110.

In light of the ongoing aggression on Lebanon, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad addressed the new government, stating, "Our primary focus now is to stand with our brothers in Lebanon in all areas without exception or hesitation."

In a statement, the Governor of Rural Damascus, Ahmad Ibrahim Khalil, confirmed his visit to the Jdeidet Yabous border crossing with Lebanon. He emphasized the importance of facilitating the return of Syrians and Lebanese nationals to Syria. 

"We have urged officials at the crossing to offer all possible assistance to both Syrians and Lebanese returning to the country," Khalil stated. Additionally, he noted that the governorate had prepared shelters and medical centers and provided food supplies and drinking water to accommodate the influx of refugees. 

Meanwhile, Brigadier General Moheeb al-Moudi, Director of Civil Defense in Homs, revealed that five main shelters, capable of accommodating around 40,000 people, have been established in Homs, along with nine additional shelters with a capacity of 25,000 people.

These centers are equipped with essential services, including water, electricity, sanitary facilities, and communication infrastructure. The shelters also have the necessary bedding and insulation materials to ensure the comfort of those staying there.

Dr. Muslim Atassi, Director of Health in Homs, confirmed that all hospital staff and rapid emergency units have been placed on high alert.

He further stated that three border crossings with Lebanon—Jisr Qamar, Jousiyeh, and Dabousieh, as well as the Matrabah crossing—have been reinforced with fully equipped ambulances and medical teams ready to intervene in case of emergencies.

Throughout Tuesday, Israeli warplanes launched a series of intense airstrikes across several towns in southern Lebanon, escalating tensions in the region. The targeted areas spanned wide swaths of Lebanese territory, particularly in the south.

The towns hit included Abbasiya, Shehabiya, Ma'roub, and Deir Qanoun al-Nahr. In addition, airstrikes struck the towns of Ain Qana, Kfar Roummane, Jibsheet, Nahr Sriefa, Toul, Marwaniyeh, and Majdal Silm. Other reports confirmed raids on Ainata, Wadi Zefta, and Taybeh, among other southern villages. 

A strike on the strategic road linking Msayleh, a critical connector between the southern city of Nabatiyeh, Sidon, and Beirut, further disrupted transportation and could potentially delay aid delivery and evacuation efforts in the region. Additionally, Israeli jets carried out airstrikes in the town of Arab al-Jal in the Sidon district.

Al Mayadeen correspondents reported particularly heavy bombardment in Shehabiya, with residents scrambling for shelter amid the destruction. Airstrikes also rained down on the villages of Daoudiyeh, Marwaniyeh, Haboush, Kfarfela, and the Wadi Shebaa area.

The Israeli aggression on Lebanon has killed 558 citizens, including 50 children, and wounded 1,835 others, Lebanese Health Minister Firass Abiad said during a press conference on Tuesday. 

According to Abiad, "the Israeli enemy's brutality led to the martyrdom of several members of medical and rescue teams."
