Israel Launches Multiple Attacks Across Lebanon, Displacing Over 1 Million People

At least two people were killed and five others wounded in an Israeli strike on a residential apartment in Bchamoun, Beirut, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health. The attack occurred approximately 10km southeast of Beirut early Tuesday morning.

The Israeli army has continued its attacks on Lebanon, issuing a new evacuation threat for Burj Shemali in the country’s south. Footage circulating online showed an apartment building engulfed in flames following the strike.

According to Al Jazeera’s Zeina Khodr, reporting from Beirut, there has been no letup in attacks as the Israeli army claims it is targeting Hezbollah infrastructure. However, Khodr noted that residential buildings and businesses are also being hit.

The Lebanese Health Ministry reported at least three people killed in targeted assassinations overnight in Beirut. The Israeli military stated it targeted members of the Quds Force, the foreign unit of Iran’s IRGC.

Since a cross-border attack by Hezbollah on March 2, Israel has pounded Lebanon with air attacks and launched a ground offensive in southern Lebanon. Lebanese authorities report at least 1,039 people killed and 2,876 injured in Israeli attacks.

Separately, Lebanon’s National News Agency reported that Israeli overnight attacks hit seven areas in Beirut’s southern suburbs, including Bir al-Abed, Al-Ruwais, Haret Hreik, Sayyed Hadi Nasrallah Highway, Saint Therese, Burj al-Barajneh, and Al-Kafaat.

Israeli forces also struck a petrol station belonging to the Amana company in Rashidieh, near the port city of Tyre. The conflict has displaced over 1.2 million people, according to the United Nations Secretary-General’s spokesman, Stephane Dujarric.

The situation remains dire for those affected by the conflict, with many unable to leave their homes due to Israeli attacks in the southern part of the country.
