Zionist Forces Intensify Assaults on Lebanon, Resulting in Numerous Casualties
Zionist forces launched a series of aggressive operations targeting civilians in southern Lebanon, escalating tensions in the region.
Israeli occupation forces carried out a series of brutal assaults on Lebanese civilians in southern Lebanon on Sunday, further flouting international law.
At approximately 12:00 PM, an Israeli drone launched an airstrike targeting a white vehicle at the entrance of Kouthariyet El-Siyad in the Al-Zahrani area. The drone fired three “Rafael” missiles, instantly martyring the driver of the car and leaving one bystander with minor injuries.
Immediately following the attack, Lebanese security forces, including the army and internal security forces, as well as ambulances and firefighters from the Islamic Health Organization’s Civil Defense, arrived at the scene. The medical teams transported the martyr and the injured individual to hospitals in the city of Nabatiyeh.
A Continued Pattern of Aggression
This attack follows another similar Israeli crime less than 72 hours ago, which resulted in the assassination of a resident from the town of Khiyam in the Ghazieh area. This pattern reflects an ongoing escalation of Israeli attacks on Lebanese civilians.
According to field sources, the missiles fired by the drone turned the targeted vehicle into a charred hulk, with the flames consuming the car entirely and the debris scattering in the surrounding area due to the force of the explosion. The sounds of the missiles were heard several kilometers away.
Additional Attacks and Casualties
In the town of Hula, near the border with occupied Palestine, another Lebanese citizen was martyred in an Israeli airstrike that targeted a prefabricated room with two missiles.
In the village of Qsaybeh-Breikeh, south of Lebanon, an unexploded ordinance from an earlier Israeli attack detonated within a military vehicle, killing two soldiers and injuring four others, including a child.
Israeli warplanes also conducted a series of airstrikes on the Jal Shihab region, located between the towns of Arnoun, Kfartabnit, and Yuhmur Al-Shkif in southern Lebanon. Later in the afternoon, the Israeli occupation army launched a series of airstrikes targeting Jabal Al-Rafi’a and Tal Malita in the heights of Iqlim Al-Tuffah.
Further airstrikes were carried out on Sujud, Al-Lwaizeh, and Jabal Safi in Jabal Al-Rihan in the Jezzine area. Additionally, the outskirts of the village of Bisliyah near Jebaa were hit by an Israeli airstrike.
In another ceasefire breach, Sunday saw increased Israeli air activity over the town of Hermel, and last evening, the Israeli occupation army dropped illuminating flares over the border town of Aita Al-Shab.
