Israeli Fighter Jets Bomb Beirut, 95 Killed across Gaza
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Lebanon’s capital Beirut was hit by at least 10 Israeli air strikes overnight with reports of casualties.
There were at least 10 Israeli attacks on neighborhoods in Beirut’s southern suburb on Thursday night.
In the early hours of Friday, the Israeli military issued forced displacement orders. Now, most of the 700,000 people who used to live in these neighborhoods have left, Al Jazeera reported.
There are still people living in the southern suburbs simply because they have nowhere else to go as shelters are at full capacity.
The Israeli military gave them less than an hour to leave in the middle of the night.
The strikes, the first Israeli attacks on Beirut for nearly a week, have killed at least two people and injured four, according to local media reports.
The Israeli military has also continued its assault on Gaza overnight, including in the city of Deir el-Balah, where a strike on a house has killed at least two people.
The Israeli air strikes killed at least 95 people across Gaza on Thursday. The vast majority of victims were civilians in the besieged north of the enclave, medical sources told Al Jazeera.
New UN report said Israel has “perpetrated a concerted policy to destroy Gaza’s healthcare system” that has included “deliberate attacks on medical personnel and facilities”, both of which are war crimes.
Israel’s genocide in Gaza has killed at least 43,204 Palestinians and wounded 101,641 since October 7, 2023.
In Lebanon, at least 2,865 people have now been killed and 13,047 wounded in Israeli attacks since the war on Gaza began, with 45 people killed across the country in the past 24 hours, the Lebanese Health Ministry said.
