Negotiations between Lebanon and Israel, to be conducted with U.S. mediation, are starting today. Ahead of the first meeting planned to take place at the U.S. Department of State in Washington, Israel struck Lebanon once again. Images from the region revealed the severity of the attack.
Israel carried out airstrikes on Lebanon ahead of the critical negotiations expected to take place today between the US and Iran. The consecutive attacks have once again heightened tensions in the region.
MULTIPLE TARGETS HIT
Lebanese media announced that Israel targeted over a dozen locations across the country. Towns in the south, in particular, were the focus of the attacks.
CASUALTIES RISING
The Lebanese Ministry of Health stated that 10 people, including a healthcare worker and a civil defense member, lost their lives in the attacks, and 6 others were injured.
EMERGENCY TEAMS TARGETED
In a statement from the Lebanese side, it was expressed that Israel "systematically" targeted emergency workers. It was reported that three separate attacks occurred in the Nabatieh region. It was stated that among those who lost their lives were also two healthcare workers from the Islamic Health Committee affiliated with Hezbollah.
TENSION ESCALATING
While it is noteworthy that the attacks occurred ahead of the expected US-Iran talks today, the developments have increased concerns regarding the course of the negotiation process.
