Israel continues to climb steps in its and this Thursday it bombed a residential building in a suburb of Beirut, the capital. The aggression, which according to the Qatari newspaper Al Araby Al Jadeed has caused one fatality and multiple injuries, progress is made in the dismantling of the relationship between Israel and the Shiite militia party Hezbollah.
One of its main pillars of this truce was to safeguard Beirut and its surroundings from new attacks. The aggression, which the Israeli army has described as “precision”, takes place the day before Lebanon and Israel resume negotiations in Washington to try to make the ceasefire stick.
Further south, Israel continues with a large-scale offensive that it has maintained since Tuesday, when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that he had ordered against the pro-Iran organization. Since then, the hostilities of the Israeli troops are causing dozens of fatalities daily, and they have ordered the complete evacuation of everything left south of the Zahrani River.
It is a waterway located 40 kilometers from Israel, north of an area equivalent to 14% of Lebanon, where there are some 300 municipalities and where Israel has maintained daily attacks despite the truce.
That, which Israel considered on Wednesday as a “combat zone” and which includes cities such as ancient Tire (about 200,000 residents) or Nabatie, has registered in recent days a new exodus amid bombings, in a country where 1.2 million people (a quarter of the national population) were already displaced before the recent escalation. The Lebanese newspaper l’Orient Today It is estimated that Israel has launched attacks on 39 municipalities in the last few hours.
Tire and the surrounding area, where Palestinian refugee camps are located and where thousands of people forcibly displaced from border villages are staying, have received a dozen attacks since Wednesday night. Tension remained high throughout the early morning.
The Arabic spokesman for the Israeli troops, Avichay Adraee, issued two statements on his social networks at three in the morning warning of imminent bombings against specific buildings, at a time when the offensive had already partially damaged electrical networks and internet connections. Two hours later, a burst of seven bombings moved the city at dawn, in a city that was quite empty after the majority had abandoned it the day before.
The Ministry of Health has reported eleven fatalities in several attacks on the Tire area, including three dead and 37 wounded, including eight children and 13 women, in an attack on Al-Bass, to the east of the municipality. Further north, in Adloun, a hillside 39 kilometers from the border, the ministry reports a bombing against a vehicle that has killed six people, including two children, their father and mother. The Lebanese state news agency had earlier reported “a massacre” in the area, where “a drone attacked a family while trying to flee villages threatened” by Israel.
