Israel Launches New Attacks on Beirut and Southern Lebanon

Israeli forces have launched renewed strikes on southern Lebanon and Beirut, following a ground invasion that began on March 16. The attacks have resulted in at least four fatalities and multiple injuries.

According to reports from the Lebanese Civil Defence, a raid in the town of Kfar Rumman killed one person and injured another. National News Agency reported a series of attacks in the Jabal Amel region, including in towns such as Arzoun, Jouya, Hadatha, Jmeijmeh, Dbeibine, and Haris.

Israeli forces have also targeted bridges in southern Lebanon, which observers believe may be an attempt to isolate the area from the rest of the country. Elie Yaacoub, head of Mercy Corps’ Lebanon Crisis Analysis Team, stated that the destruction of key infrastructure is cutting off up to 150,000 people from humanitarian assistance.

The Israeli military has been conducting air strikes across Lebanon since March 2, following rocket fire by the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah into Israel. The group has also targeted Israeli settlements in northern Israel and a gathering of Israeli army vehicles and soldiers at the Fatima Gate on the Israeli-Lebanon border.

In Beirut, Israeli forces have ordered the evacuation of residents from seven neighbourhoods in the southern suburb, stating that they would attack “Hezbollah infrastructure.” An airstrike targeting Bir al-Abed was reported shortly after. Overnight strikes hit the predominantly Christian town of Ain Saadeh, killing three people and injuring others.

More than one million people have been displaced across Lebanon, with several thousand sheltering in the hills of Mount Lebanon. The attacks have raised concerns about the humanitarian situation in the region.
