ROME (ITALPRESS) – A series of air raids occurred in Beirut’s Dahiyeh neighborhood overnight by Israeli fighter jets targeting several Hezbollah sites, including weapons production facilities and other military infrastructure, the IDF said in a statement. “The Hezbollah terrorist organization intentionally builds its weapons and military production sites under the heart of Beirut and places them in the city’s population centers,” the Israeli military says, adding that the IDF continues to work “to ensure the restoration of the security of the State of Israel and its citizens.” This comes after the Israeli army launched limited raids in southern Lebanon late yesterday evening against Hezbollah forces and infrastructure positioned along Israel’s northern border, hours after the security cabinet was said to have approved plans for the new phase of the war against the Lebanese terrorist group, in a move for which the United States appeared to express support.
In the early hours of this morning, the IDF said a “targeted and limited” incursion had begun several hours earlier, focusing on Hezbollah targets and infrastructure in several Lebanese villages along the border that posed an immediate threat to Israeli towns on the other side of the Blue Line. Ground troops operating in southern Lebanon were assisted by air and artillery forces, the army said, adding that the operation was based on plans drawn up by the IDF General Staff and Northern Command.
In the evening the Israel Defense Forces announced that missiles, at least 102, were fired from Iran at Israel. Arab media reported this. The warning resounded in several areas of the country.
It is 3 dead and 17 wounded in a shooting that took place in Jaffa, Israel. At least two terrorists, one of them armed with an assault rifle, carried out the attack.
