Israel Launches Airstrikes Across Lebanon

The Israel Defense Forces struck dozens of Hezbollah sites to disrupt planned attacks and suppress rocket fire, with advance warnings issued to civilians, Israeli officials said.

  • The Air Force struck Hezbollah launch sites and operatives across Lebanon after the IDF identified preparations for a large-scale attack.
  • Israel has called on residents south of the Zahrani River to evacuate immediately, with the zone comprising 14 percent of Lebanon, while the military says it is only conducting "limited" ground operations.
  • Nidal Ahmad Chokr fled his village of Jibchit on Tuesday as strikes intensified, reporting "Bakers died while making bread" and "municipal workers were martyred while using bulldozers."
  • "Sidon is overcrowded," said Jihan Kaisi, an NGO director helping displaced families at a school sheltering three times more people than capacity, including those from Kharayeb.
  • Entrepreneur Haidar Bitar remains convinced that Israel will not be able to defeat Hezbollah, as the group prepares for prolonged confrontation. "It won't be easy for Israel," Bitar said.
