The Israeli army continued its extensive war on Lebanon for the tenth
consecutive day, launching more intense airstrikes on the southern suburb
of the capital, Beirut. The official death toll has risen to 1,873.

Israeli warplanes conducted nine consecutive airstrikes within two hours on
the southern suburb of Beirut early Wednesday, following warnings for
residents of buildings in the area to evacuate immediately. The strikes
targeted the areas of Hadath, Roueiss, Chouweifat, and Haret Hreik.

Meanwhile, the Lebanese Ministry of Health announced that 55 people were
martyred and 156 others injured due to Israeli airstrikes on various
regions of Lebanon over the past 24 hours.

On Tuesday evening, the Lebanese Disaster Management Unit reported that the
number of casualties from the Israeli aggression on Lebanon since October 8
has reached 1,873 martyrs.

The government’s Disaster Risk Management Unit stated in its regular report
that “the total number since the onset of events has risen to 1,873 martyrs
and 9,134 injured.” It added, “The number of displaced people from areas
under Israeli aggression has exceeded one million, including 155,600
registered in shelters.”

Israeli warplanes also launched a series of airstrikes on various areas in
the Bekaa region of eastern Lebanon on Tuesday afternoon. The strikes
affected the vicinity of Baalbek and several towns in the region, including
Laboue, Talia, Sarin, Ain Bourday, and Rasem Hadath, targeting some
buildings and fields, resulting in significant material damage.

For days, Israel has been carrying out intense airstrikes on the southern
suburb of Beirut and southern and eastern Lebanon, which are considered
areas of influence for Hezbollah. The most severe of these strikes occurred
last Friday, which killed Hezbollah’s Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah.

In the meantime, Israeli media reported that four ballistic missiles were
launched from Lebanon, landing off the coast of Netanya, north of Tel Aviv.
Hezbollah announced yesterday that it had fired “Fadi 4” missiles at the
“Galilout” base affiliated with military intelligence “8200,” and the
Mossad headquarters in the suburbs of Tel Aviv, emphasizing that this is
just the beginning.

Israeli emergency services reported that three people were injured, two of
them with moderate injuries, due to the missile strikes in central Israel.
Additionally, shrapnel from two missiles fell in Kfar Saba and the Eyal
intersection in central Israel.

The Israeli army announced last Monday (September 30) the start of a
focused ground operation inside Lebanese territory for the first time since
2006.
