Israel Targets Hospital

An Israeli strike near Hiram Hospital in the southern Lebanese city of Tyre
wounded 13 hospital employees on Sunday, as Israel intensified attacks
across southern Lebanon.

Lebanon’s Health Ministry said the Israeli attack struck an area adjacent
to the hospital, injuring 13 members of its staff and causing extensive
damage to the facility.

In a statement, the ministry said the latest damage adds to previous
destruction sustained by the hospital as a result of repeated Israeli
attacks.

The ministry praised the hospital’s medical teams for continuing to serve
residents despite the risks and renewed its call on the international
community to halt escalating Israeli attacks that disregard international
humanitarian law and international norms.

Earlier in the day, Israeli forces had targeted a building near the
hospital after threatening to strike it.

The attack came as Israel continued violations of the ceasefire agreement
reached on April 17, according to Lebanese officials.
Hezbollah’s New Operations

Meanwhile, Hezbollah announced several operations targeting Israeli
military infrastructure, troop concentrations and settlements in northern
occupied Palestine.

The movement said it launched a rocket barrage at 11:45 a.m. targeting
Israeli infrastructure in the settlement of Nahariya.

Less than an hour later, at 12:30 p.m., Hezbollah announced another rocket
attack targeting infrastructure in the Kiryot area north of the occupied
city of Haifa.

Earlier in the morning, resistance fighters targeted a gathering of Israeli
soldiers at a helicopter landing site in the settlement of Shlomi using an
attack drone.

At approximately 4:00 a.m., Hezbollah also launched a rocket barrage
targeting Israeli troops and military vehicles in the town of Bayyada in
southern Lebanon.

The operations followed a series of attacks carried out Saturday night,
including a guided missile strike that targeted an Israeli Merkava tank in
Bayyada and another rocket attack against concentrations of Israeli
soldiers and military vehicles in the same area.
Escalation across the South

The military exchanges continued throughout the day.

Israeli media reported multiple drone infiltration alerts and rocket sirens
sounding across settlements in northern occupied Palestine, including
Kiryat Shmona, Misgav Am, Kfar Giladi, Shlomi, Hanita and Arab al-Aramshe.

The Israeli military later confirmed that a drone exploded in the northern
border area.

At the same time, Al-Mayadeen’s correspondent reported a new wave of
Israeli airstrikes targeting Tyre and several areas in Sidon district.

Israeli aircraft reportedly struck the city of Tyre multiple times, while
additional raids targeted Kawthariyat al-Riz, Ghassaniyeh, Babliyeh and the
Khirbet al-Duweir area.
