At least 29 people were killed in Israeli strikes that targeted several regions across Lebanon, including the southern suburbs of Beirut, a Hezbollah stronghold, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry. Regions where the movement is not traditionally established were also targeted.

In the mountainous Chouf region, south of Beirut, 12 people were killed and eight others injured, the ministry said. The Lebanese National Information Agency (Ani) specified that the strike had targeted a residential building housing displaced people who had fled Israeli bombings.

A few kilometers further north, in the mountainous region of Aley, east of Beirut, eight people were killed and several others injured. A security source indicated that the strike had targeted a villa where displaced people had taken refuge.

In southern Lebanon, where the Israeli army has been carrying out ground incursions since September 30, seven people were killed in strikes targeting the towns of Tefahta and Roumine, according to the ministry.

Strikes also targeted the large city of Nabatiyeh, as well as the coastal city of Tyre, which has been regularly shelled in recent days. Furthermore, two people were killed in two strikes targeting the Hermel region in the eastern Bekaa plain, bordering Syria, where Hezbollah is based.
