The Lebanese Ministry of Health’s Public Health Emergency Operations Center reported that an Israeli airstrike in the town of Al-Majdal injured three citizens.
Two individuals received minor treatment on site, while the third, suffering moderate injuries, was transported to the Lebanese Italian Hospital for further medical attention.
The Lebanese National News Agency further stated on Tuesday that another Israeli airstrike in “Sheheen” resulted in moderate injuries to a Lebanese citizen, necessitating transfer to Jabal Amel Hospital.
Additionally, an Israeli drone strike targeted an open area between the former sites of Dabshah and Ali Al-Tahir on the eastern outskirts of Upper Nabatieh.
The missile, however, did not detonate. Another drone also targeted the plains of Al-Majdal, east of Sour, as tensions in the region escalated.
Hamas praised the strikes by Lebanon’s Hezbollah against Israel, calling it a “strong and focused response.” In a statement, Hamas emphasized that the response, which struck deep inside Israel, was “a slap in the face” for the Israeli government.
Hezbollah described the attack as an “initial response” to the killing of its military commander Fouad Shukr, adding that the operation “ended with total success.” The first phase targeted “Israeli barracks and sites, facilitating the passage of offensive drones deep inside Israel,” according to the statement, which confirmed the drones crossed successfully “as planned.”
The statement mentioned 11 Israeli sites targeted by Hezbollah, including bases in Meron, Zaatoun, Al-Sahl, and Ein Zei Tim, as well as two military bases and two barracks in the occupied Golan Heights.
Missiles were visible in the dawn sky, leaving dark vapor trails, as air raid sirens sounded in Israel. A distant blast lit the horizon, and smoke rose over houses in Khiam, southern Lebanon. Three deaths were confirmed in Lebanon, while no deaths were reported in Israel, where damage appeared limited.
