Israeli airstrikes in eastern and southern Lebanon resulted in the deaths of 24 individuals and injuries to 19 others on Thursday, as reported by official and military sources in Lebanon.
Israeli warplanes and drones executed a total of 35 airstrikes in southern Lebanon and 12 in the eastern region, which included an attack targeting a motorcycle in the Bekaa Valley. According to unnamed military sources, Civil Defense teams, the Lebanese Red Cross, and the Islamic Health Authority are engaged in search and rescue efforts amidst the rubble of destroyed buildings.
The sources noted that intense fighting has persisted for three consecutive days between Hezbollah and the Israeli military, which is attempting to move toward the center of the village of Khiam, a significant Hezbollah stronghold in southern Lebanon. While Israeli forces have been advancing, they have not yet reached the village’s center.
In response, Hezbollah claimed to have targeted various Israeli positions with rockets. Military sources indicated that the Lebanese army detected numerous rockets and artillery shells being fired from Lebanon into northern Israel and toward the eastern and southern borders of Khiam.
The Lebanese health ministry announced that the total number of fatalities from Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon since the conflict began on October 8, 2023, has risen to 2,867, with injuries amounting to 13,047. Since September 23, the Israeli army has been conducting intensified air assaults on Lebanon amid escalating tensions with Hezbollah, and earlier this month, Israel launched a ground operation across its northern border.
