Total of ten martyrs from Israeli strikes on central Beirut
Lebanon's health ministry reports ten martyrs as a result of the Israeli strikes in the heart of Beirut on Sunday.
Lebanon's health ministry reported Monday that 10 people were martyred in Israeli strikes on central Beirut the previous day, including four Hezbollah members and their spokesman, according to the group.
"The Israeli enemy strike on Ras al-Nabaa in Beirut led to a final toll of seven dead including a woman and 16 others wounded," a ministry statement said, raising an earlier toll of four dead and 14 wounded.
Hezbollah said on Monday that the strike, which targeted Hezbollah Media Relations chief Mohammad Afif, also killed four members of its media team.
The four martyrs mourned by the media relations department are Martyr Hajj Mousa Haidar from Markaba, Martyr Hajj Mahmoud al-Sharqawi from Arzai, Martyr Hilal Termos from Tallousa, and Martyr Hussein Ramadan from Armata, according to Hezbollah's statement.
Hezbollah's media relations stated, "These heroes were martyred while bearing the banner of truth and the message of resistance," emphasizing that they "courageously risked their lives as soldiers in the media arena, ensuring that the truth of Zionist terrorism reached every home across the globe."
The Israeli strike targeted the Lebanese office of the Baath Party, a Lebanese security source told AFP.
Israeli strike on Mar Elias
The health ministry also reported that the final toll from an Israeli strike on Beirut's Mar Elias district late Sunday was three martyrs, including a woman, and 29 wounded, up from an earlier count of two martyrs and 22 injured.
The Israeli occupation renewed its aggression on the Lebanese capital, Beirut, targeting a building and a vehicle in the Mar Elias area, located in the heart of the city.
