Since September 23, Israel has intensified its military operations against Lebanon, leading to significant casualties and displacement. The Israeli army reported the launch of rockets from Lebanon, with Hezbollah claiming to have fired 350 missiles, including 17 targeting Tel Aviv. This escalation has forced millions of Israelis into shelters as air raid sirens sounded across northern regions. In retaliation, Israel has conducted extensive airstrikes on Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon, particularly in areas like Baalbek and the southern suburbs of Beirut, resulting in numerous civilian casualties and injuries.
The Lebanese Ministry of Health reported at least 9 fatalities and several injuries due to Israeli airstrikes in various towns, including Ma'arka and Ghazieh. The ongoing conflict, which began in October 2023, has resulted in over 3,700 deaths and more than 15,000 injuries in Lebanon, with approximately 1.4 million people displaced. The situation remains dire as both sides continue to exchange fire, with Hezbollah targeting Israeli military installations and Israel responding with airstrikes.
