Israel strikes Beirut’s southern suburbs and Tyre as death toll rises in Lebanon

Israeli forces have carried out a strike on Beirut’s southern suburbs for the second time since a ceasefire was agreed in April, while intensifying attacks across southern Lebanon ahead of planned US-mediated talks. Israeli strikes hit Tyre, Nabatieh and surrounding areas, killing at least 16 people and wounding dozens more, according to Lebanese health authorities. Entire residential neighbourhoods have been reduced to rubble, with forced evacuation orders pushing thousands further north beyond the Zahrani River.
Israel says it is targeting Hezbollah infrastructure and expanding a “security zone” in southern Lebanon after continued drone attacks by Hezbollah on Israeli troops and positions. The Israeli military says operations are intensifying and warns Hezbollah will pay a heavy price. Hezbollah says its attacks are a response to Israeli operations and occupation of border areas.
Humanitarian agencies warn the situation in southern Lebanon is becoming untenable, with civilians repeatedly displaced and critical infrastructure heavily damaged. The escalation comes despite ongoing diplomatic efforts, with Lebanese and Israeli military delegations expected to meet in Washington as Beirut pushes again for a ceasefire and greater state control over weapons in the south.

  1. The return of Trump was actually an arrangement (not a MAGA movement) to cover the planned aggression of Israel to Gaza & Middle East.

  2. And the lebanese army is just letting it happen. So despicable. I get they do not like Hezbollah but they also need to defend their territory against Israeli bombardments.

    1. Why do you think the Lebanese army is not doing anything??? Because they also want to get rid of HAMAS. They are criminals indoctrinated and brainwashed with sharia and the radical Koran.

    1. Because arab countries attacked Israel from the day 1. Israel is indeed at fault that it didn’t take land from arabs after those lost the war, thereby encouraging arab countries to keep attacking Israel again and again…

    1. The choice and responsibility of the world is to stop dealing with the terrorist government of Israel.
      Israel is a cancerous entity if you don’t stop it it’ll spread right and left.

  3. Bombing a civilian residential building during ceasefire claiming “Hezbollah structure” without presenting any evidence – that’s not self-defense, that’s a demolition company with a flag. Terrorism. Highly illegal. Documented

    1. Did hezbollah honor the ceasefire, when they attacked in the name of helping their allies in Iran? Cause they didn’t care about honoring anything then.

    1. How do you distinguish civilians from HAMAS fighters who kill indiscriminately??? How can you neutralize terrorists and criminals who hide behind women and children??? How can you eliminate the HAMAS group that hides itself as real fighters who are after women and children or who send children wrapped in explosives???

  4. The “Lebanese government” is supporting this terrible activity on these people. Worse than Uktraine for mismanagement and corruption.

  5. What do they expect? They been celebrating hitting Israel forces with their small Temu drones now they getting the bigger drones.

  6. The world is changing very fast. The old powers are going down. We are witnessing the birth of a new world order.
