جنوب لبنان

Israel admitted Monday responsibility for violent strike targeting Basta area in central Beirut, indicating its aircraft bombed "Hezbollah command center".

The strike resulted in heavy civilian casualties, with Lebanese Health Ministry counting at least 29 deaths and 67 others wounded with varying injuries.

Accounts conflicted about target's nature, as Lebanese security source indicated targeting "senior commander" in Hezbollah, while party MP Amin Sherri denied presence of any organization "figure" during bombardment.

Capital targeting coincided with comprehensive military escalation on southern front, as strikes renewed on Beirut's southern suburb after Israeli warning for residents to evacuate three buildings in Haret Hreik.

Israeli warplanes launched intensive strikes on various southern areas, resulting in casualties in Tyre city, including Lebanese soldier, plus destruction of 15 houses in Yahmar Al-Shaqif town.

Khiam area witnesses violent confrontations with Israeli forces attempting to control town, using Merkava tanks, artillery and phosphorus shelling, while resistance elements respond, announcing targeting two military vehicles.

National News Agency reported Israeli forces conducting explosions around Deir Mimas, with intermittent shelling continuing on Shaqif Castle.

Human losses in Lebanon since confrontations began October 8, 2023, exceeded 3,754 dead and over 15,000 wounded, amid continuing military escalation on various fronts.

Field sources reported Israeli mechanized patrol advancing at dawn from Shama'a area toward Al-Bayada, before resistance targeted it, hitting two Merkava tanks.

Israeli forces continue booby-trapping and explosion operations in Khiam town, causing strong vibrations and shrapnel flying toward neighboring villages, amid heavy artillery shelling on town center.

Public Health Emergency Operations Center announced three deaths in Israeli raid targeting Zebqine area in Tyre district, raising today's casualty toll.
