On Sunday, Israel executed airstrikes in the southern suburbs of Beirut, targeting the Dahiyeh district, a known stronghold of the Hezbollah militant group. This military action resulted in at least two fatalities and 11 injuries, as reported by Lebanon's National News Agency. The Israeli government characterized the strikes as retaliatory, following Hezbollah's recent fire directed at northern Israel. A joint statement from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Israel Katz emphasized that the operation aimed at Hezbollah's 'terrorist headquarters' and command centres. Netanyahu claimed that Israeli forces had killed 350 Hezbollah militants over the past week and had captured the Beaufort Ridge area, uncovering significant underground infrastructure used by the group. He asserted that military operations would continue against what he termed 'terror villages' near Israel's northern border. These airstrikes come shortly after a ceasefire agreement was renewed during negotiations in Washington, raising concerns about the potential for renewed conflict along the Israel-Lebanon border.
