Dead and wounded in a raid on Al-Ghandouriya, and the occupation renews its shelling of the southern suburbs of Beirut

Israeli occupation forces escalated their aerial and artillery attacks on Lebanese territories this Saturday dawn, as an airstrike targeted a house in the town of Al-Ghandouriya, affiliated with the Bint Jbeil district. The attack resulted in the martyrdom of one citizen and the injury of two others with varying degrees of wounds, as rescue teams managed to pull them from under the rubble after the house was completely destroyed.

In a simultaneous field development, Israeli warplanes launched a series of violent raids on the southern suburbs of Beirut, targeting multiple residential areas. These raids came just hours after Israeli threats demanded residents of seven entire neighborhoods to evacuate their homes immediately, causing panic and mass displacement of residents in the late hours of the night.

Field sources reported that heavy artillery shelling resumed on the outskirts of the town of Naqoura in the Tyre district, leading to severe material damage to properties. This shelling coincided with intensive overflights by reconnaissance and drone aircraft in the skies of southern Lebanon, to monitor field movements and identify new targets for the ongoing aggression.

For its part, the Israeli occupation army issued a statement confirming the execution of widespread attacks in the Lebanese capital, Beirut, claiming that they target military facilities belonging to Hezbollah. The statement did not clarify the extent of human or material losses resulting from these raids, merely indicating that they come within the framework of ongoing military operations on the northern front.

Forced evacuation orders issued by the spokesman for the occupation army included the neighborhoods of Haret Hreik, Ghobeiry, Laylaki, and Hadath, in addition to Burj al-Barajneh, Tahwitat al-Ghadir, and Chiyah. Human rights sources considered that these repeated warnings aim to displace residents and destroy civilian infrastructure under flimsy security and military pretexts.

This escalation comes amid unprecedented regional tension, which began since late February following the aggression that targeted Iran and led to the killing of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. These events have directly reflected on the Lebanese arena, as the ceasefire understandings that had been in effect since November of last year collapsed.

Hezbollah had carried out targeting operations against military sites in northern occupied Palestine earlier this month, in response to what it described as repeated Israeli aggressions and the assassination of leaders. This was followed by Israel expanding the scope of its aerial operations to include Beqaa, the South, and the Suburbs, leading to the beginning of a limited ground incursion into border areas.

Official statistics indicate that the toll of the ongoing Israeli aggression on Lebanon has exceeded 1021 martyrs, while the number of injured has risen to more than 2641. Military operations have also caused the displacement of hundreds of thousands from their villages and cities, amid difficult humanitarian conditions and a severe shortage of relief and medical supplies.

Israeli aircraft continue to target residential buildings and public facilities, leading to widespread destruction of infrastructure and religious institutions in various Lebanese regions. Reports from the field confirm that the shelling does not differentiate between military and civilian targets, further complicating the humanitarian situation in the country, which is already suffering from accumulated economic crises.
