Aftermath of Israeli strikes in Beirut’s southern suburb of Mreijeh
Man moderately wounded after Hezbollah rockets intercepted over northern Israel
The Israeli military reports that more than 25 rockets were detected crossing into Israeli territory from Lebanon in the past couple of hours. It said most were intercepted, with some landing in northern Israel.
The Magen David Adom emergency response service said a 50-year-old man sustained a head injury after the interceptions. His situation is described as stabilised.
After sirens also sounded in Lower Galilee and other surrounding areas, the Israeli army reported that two more projectiles fired by Hezbollah were intercepted.
Hezbollah has claimed multiple rocket attacks today, with the latest said to have targeted Israeli soldiers in Misgav Am.
Hezbollah confirms top leader Hashem Safieddine killed in Israeli air attack
The Lebanese group has confirmed that senior figure Hashem Safieddine, who was touted as the likely replacement for slain leader Hassan Nasrallah, was killed in an Israeli attack several weeks ago. “We pledge to our great martyr and his martyred brothers to continue the path of resistance and jihad until achieving its goals of freedom and victory,” Hezbollah said in a statement.
The announcement comes a day after the Israeli military officially claimed Safieddine was killed in the attack, which used bunker-buster bombs similar to the strike that killed Nasrallah on September 27.
‘You can’t bomb your way to safety and peace’
Israel’s attack on the southern Lebanese city of Tyre is a continuation of its military campaign to terrorise civilians and destroy public infrastructure, says Associate Professor Mohamad Bazzi from New York University.
“We’ve seen Israel use the same playbook in Gaza, these two strategies of massive bombardment, displacing civilians and the so-called evacuation orders. Lebanon is a sovereign country, and Israel has no basis for issuing evacuation orders in a foreign, sovereign country,” Bazzi told Al Jazeera.
“In the long-term, I’d argue it’s a failed strategy because you can’t bomb your way to safety and peace on the Israel-Lebanon border. You have to have a diplomatic settlement, and Israel’s leadership has shown no interest in this so far.”
