Multiple Israeli attacks in East Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley

Israeli forces have launched several attacks across the Bekaa Valley in eastern Lebanon tonight, according to our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic. Israeli attacks were reported in the towns of Shaath, Al-Ain and Ali al-Nahri as well as in the areas surrounding the city of Baalbek.

Hezbollah fires rockets on Israeli targets in Lebanon, northern Israel

Hezbollah says it targeted Israeli forces carrying out operations in the Khallet Wardeh and Marj areas of southern Lebanon. The group also says it targeted Israeli soldiers in the al-Sadana and Birkat al-Naqqar areas along the Lebanon-Syria border in the Israeli-occupied Shebaa Farms.


Israeli attacks damage buildings across Lebanon, including hospital

An overnight Israeli attack that destroyed a building in Baalbek in Lebanon also damaged the nearby Al-Murtada Hospital, putting it out of service, Lebanon’s NNA news agency reports.

Israeli warplanes also caused severe damage to property and crops in the Qasimiya area and targeted the Litani River area between Blat and Barghaz, NNA added.


Israel launches 200 air strikes across Lebanon in 24 hours

The Israeli military says it launched a total of 200 strikes across Lebanon in the last 24 hours as it expanded its targets against Hezbollah.

So far the main focus of Israel’s military operations in Lebanon has been in the Bekaa Valley in the east, the suburbs of Beirut, and in the south, where incidents involving Israeli troops and UN peacekeepers have created tension.

In response, Hezbollah launched counterstrikes, hitting targets in al-Marj inside Lebanon, where Israeli forces are carrying out a military operation. There were no immediate reports of casualties.

According to the Israeli Army Radio, Hezbollah also intensified its use of ballistic missiles, targeting the city of Haifa with two surface-to-surface missiles, forcing thousands of residents in northern Israel to take shelter.

Earlier, Israel struck a Christian-majority northern Lebanese town of Aitou, killing at least 21 people, according to Lebanese health officials.


Israel-Hezbollah fighting surges after deadly base attack

Artillery from Israel keeps coming in as well as air strikes. Rocket launches from southern Lebanon into Israel are also under way.

Last night was some of the most intense cross-border strikes that we’ve seen in the past five days. Israel said it attacked some 200 targets over the last 24 hours and killed “dozens of Hezbollah elements”.

Hezbollah says it clashed with an Israeli infantry force while trying to infiltrate the town of Rab el-Thalathine with fighting ongoing. It’s very much feeling like a real escalation in this southern part of Lebanon.
