A first occurred in the ongoing war between the US-Israel and Iran that has been going on for three days. Hezbollah in Lebanon launched a missile attack against Israel, while Israel responded in kind to these attacks. It was reported that 31 people lost their lives in Israel's attacks on Lebanon.
While the war operations of the US and Israel against Iran continue, news from the Lebanese front has made a significant impact. It has been reported that at least 31 people lost their lives and hundreds were injured in the Israeli army's airstrikes targeting Hezbollah positions in Lebanon. This is a concrete indication of the escalation of conflict in the region and one of the deadliest attacks in recent times.
SCALE OF THE ATTACKS AND TOLL
According to the official data released by the Lebanese Ministry of Health, at least 31 civilians and fighters have died as a result of Israel's intense bombardment, and approximately 149 people have been injured. It is reported that among the deceased, there were also civilians.
Following the recent missile and drone attacks by Hezbollah's Iranian-backed militias targeting the Israeli border, Israel's retaliatory strikes have led to widespread explosions across the country, causing significant damage, especially in the southern suburbs of Beirut.
MAJOR ATTACK BEFORE DAWN
The attacks were carried out before dawn, with intense explosions particularly in the southern neighborhoods of Beirut and the rural areas of southern Lebanon. Local sources reported that the attacks caused deep tremors and significant panic in the region.
The Israeli army issued a broad evacuation call for civilians living in many towns and villages in southern Lebanon, in parallel with the operations. In particular, evacuations in the Bekaa Valley area, which is the focal point of the conflict, and in residential areas of southern Lebanon have been accelerated.
REGIONAL TENSION RISING
This development shows that the repercussions of the operations initiated by the US and Israel following the killing of Iran's religious leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei have spread far beyond. The retaliatory attacks by Iranian-backed militia groups and Israel's counterstrikes reveal that the war is not limited to the Iranian hotlines but has also caused significant destruction and loss of life in Lebanon.
