Series of Israeli raids target towns in southern Lebanon
Last night and Sunday morning, the Israeli army launched a series of raids on several towns in southern Lebanon.
The Lebanese National News Agency reported on Sunday that "Israeli aircraft targeted the eastern town of Zawtar in the Nabatieh district (south) with two waves of raids."
Before midnight, the town of Kfarfila in the Iqlim al-Tuffah region, the outskirts of the town of Ansar in the Nabatieh district, and the towns of Hanin and Shaqra in the Bint Jbeil district (south) were subjected to airstrikes launched by enemy aircraft, according to the same agency.
Until 09:30 (06:30 GMT), the agency had not reported any deaths or injuries as a result of the Israeli raids.
After clashes with factions in Lebanon, including Hezbollah, which began after Israel launched a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023, which resulted in the killing and wounding of more than 145,000 Palestinians, Tel Aviv expanded the scope of the genocide since September 23 to include most areas of Lebanon, including the capital Beirut, through air strikes, and also began a ground invasion in the south.
The aggression on Lebanon resulted in a total of 2,968 deaths and 13,319 injuries, including a large number of children and women, in addition to about 1.4 million displaced persons. Most of the victims and displaced persons were recorded after September 23, according to Anadolu Agency’s monitoring of the latest official Lebanese data announced until Saturday evening.
Every day, Hezbollah responds by launching missiles, drones, and artillery shells targeting military sites, intelligence headquarters, military gatherings, and settlements. While Israel announces some of its human and material losses, military censorship imposes a strict blackout on most of the losses, according to observers.
