“Raids by the Israeli enemy” caused the deaths of 40 people in southern Lebanon, 25 in the Baalbek-Hermel region (east), 23 in the Bekaa (east) and 4 in the Mount Lebanon region ( east-central), according to the ministry, and a total of 153 people were injured.
For the fourth consecutive day, the Israeli army carried out dozens of strikes targeting the Lebanese Shiite militia Hezbollah which opened a front against Israel on October 8, 2023 in support of Palestinian Hamas, promising to continue its attacks “until the end of aggression in Gaza.
Israel said it attacked 75 Hezbollah military objectives in southern and eastern Lebanon on Thursday, claiming in the evening to carry out new strikes against the pro-Iranian formation in southern Lebanon.
Hezbollah also confirmed the death of Mohammed Srour, head of its drone unit.
Israel vowed Thursday to fight Lebanon’s Hezbollah “until victory,” rejecting an international call for a 21-day ceasefire.
