Civilian casualties mount in Lebanon as Israel’s bombardment continues
According to witnesses, the attacks by the Israeli military late last night and throughout the evening targeted residential buildings and completely destroyed a number of them.
The images coming out of Dahiyeh show complete destruction, and people at the scene say there’s also a very strong odour in the area, making it very difficult and dangerous for the Civil Defence Forces to be able to do their job.
What is clear is that Israel is continuing its bombardment of not only the southern suburbs of the capital but also other areas in the country. We saw multiple air strikes on the coastal historic city of Tyre, which is about 80km (50 miles) south of the Lebanese capital and about 20km (12 miles) north of the border between Lebanon and Israel.
On Friday, at least four air strikes killed at least seven people according to the Health Ministry and wounded nearly 50. There was also another strike yet again in the Al Hush neighbourhood of Tyre earlier today. We don’t have any official numbers about possible casualties or injuries there.
Just a short while ago, we also heard another air strike carried out in the eastern part of the country in the Bekaa region which has also seen heavy bombardment by the Israeli military, who claim that they’re targeting Hezbollah command and control centres, and infrastructures belonging to the armed group.
What we’ve seen is not only casualties that are mainly civilians, but also mass displacement of the civilian population.

A resident of Lebanon’s Tyre says an Israeli air strike on the southern city killed his long-time neighbour and friend Ghazwa Dabouk and four of her siblings.
Youssef Jundi told The Associated Press that Dabouk’s sisters Elissar, Rabab and Fidaa, who were deaf and mute, were killed in the attack, together with Dabouk’s brother Ali, who was autistic.
Earlier, the Lebanese Health Ministry said eight people had been killed in Israel’s attack on Deir Qanoun in Tyre.

Hezbollah claims attacks on Israeli troops
The Lebanese armed group said it launched rocket attacks on Israeli troops in the town of Shebaa in southern Lebanon and the settlement of HaGoshrim in northern Israel. The attacks took place in the early hours of the morning.
Earlier, the Israeli military claimed attacks on the city of Tyre in southern Lebanon and on Baalbek in eastern Lebanon. As we’ve been reporting, at least 31 people were killed in the strikes.
