Israeli Regime Escalates Attacks on Eastern, Southern Lebanon

Local sources said six people were killed and seven others wounded when the Israeli regime launched an airstrike on the town of al-Shahabiya in southern Lebanon.

Lebanon’s Health Ministry also said that two people were killed and 10 others injured in two separate airstrikes by the Israeli regime targeting the al-Housh area and the town of Qalawiya in the south.

Meanwhile, the Israeli occupation army continued issuing evacuation orders for residents in Beirut’s southern suburbs as well as wide areas of southern Lebanon and the Bekaa region.

The occupation army on Wednesday warned residents of the neighborhoods of Haret Hreik and Burj al-Barajneh in Beirut’s southern suburb to evacuate.

Separately, news sources reported drone attacks by the Israeli regime targeting the towns of al-Nasiriyah, Sarain and Ali al-Nahri in Lebanon’s eastern Bekaa region.

The Al Mayadeen news network reported a military attack by the Israeli regime on the town of Ali al-Nahri in eastern Lebanon’s Bekaa region.

Meanwhile, Lebanon’s Health Ministry said four people were wounded in an Israeli regime airstrike on the town of Tebnin in the Bint Jbeil district in southern Lebanon.

The ongoing and expanding assaults by the Israeli regime have sharply worsened the humanitarian situation in Lebanon, according to the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF).

UNICEF said on Tuesday that around 700,000 people in Lebanon have been forced to flee their homes as the Israeli occupation army continues heavy attacks on Beirut’s southern suburb, the Bekaa region and southern parts of the country.

The agency warned about the heavy toll paid by Lebanese civilians as a result of the brutal assaults by Israeli occupying forces, adding that about 200,000 children and teenagers are among those displaced and living in extremely difficult conditions.

Meanwhile, many Lebanese view the evacuation orders issued by the Israeli regime as a tactic aimed at displacing residents, destroying towns and villages, and using the forced displacement of civilians as a pressure tool in the conflict.

Analysts warn that the situation could push Lebanon toward a prolonged humanitarian crisis whose consequences may exceed those seen in previous rounds of fighting.
