More Hezbollah attacks as Israel resumes bombing Beirut

Israeli media reports that air raid sirens have been activated in Nahariya and Ras an-Naqoura (Rosh HaNikra to Israelis) in northern Israel, as well as other areas in the northern Galilee. Israel’s Channel 12 says hostile aircraft launched from Lebanon were intercepted.

A taxi in Nahariya was also hit by shrapnel in the latest barrage an hour earlier, according to local Channel 14, which cited Isreal’s ambulance service.

Meanwhile, as we reported earlier, the Israeli army bombed Haret Hreik in souther Beirut after issuing new forced evacuation orders for residents. We do not have information on casualties that resulted from this attack at this time.

All of this amid reports that a ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel is nearer to becoming a reality.

Israeli air strike that killed journalists in Lebanon most likely a ‘deliberate attack’: HRW

Human Rights Watch (HRW) says the strike, which took place on October 25, 2024, killed three journalists and injured four others, was most likely a deliberate attack on civilians and an apparent war crime.

In a statement released by HRW, the NGO says it determined that “Israeli forces carried out the attack using an air-dropped bomb equipped with a United States-produced Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) guidance kit.

“The US government should suspend weapons transfers to Israel because of the military’s repeated, unlawful attacks on civilians, for which US officials may be complicit in war crimes,” the statement read.

The attack took place at the Hasbaiyya Village Club Resort in Hasbaiyya, a town in southern Lebanon.

HRW says more than a dozen journalists had stayed there for three weeks or more before the attack, and it had found no evidence of fighting, military forces, or military activity in the immediate area at the time of the attack.
