The Israeli army’s Arabic spokesperson, Avichay Adraee, issued an evacuation warning to residents in Tyre on Wednesday, urging those living between Al-Hiram, Jaafar Sharaf Al-Din, Abu Dib and Al-Athar street to leave immediately.
The warning emphasized that Hezbollah’s activities in the area were provoking decisive military actions from the Israeli army.
Following the warning, a series of Israeli airstrikes intensified in the regions of Tyre, Nabatiyeh, particularly in Arabsalim, Srifa and the outskirts of Berghliyah, Froun, Selaa and Bafliya in Tyre.
In the district of Nabatiyeh, a Lebanese Internal Security Forces (ISF) corporal was killed in an airstrike that targeted his home in Arabsalim. Airstrikes also hit multiple areas, including the plain of Ain Bousouar (Iqlim al-Tuffah, Nabatiyeh).
Drone strikes and artillery shelling followed in the Tyre and Nabatiyeh areas, with Israeli army positions in northern Israel firing on various neighborhoods, including Yohmor al-Shaqif.
No injuries were reported from the shelling, but clashes erupted between Hezbollah and the Israeli army at the Taybeh, Rab al-Thalathin and Odaisseh triangle.
At dawn, Israeli warplanes carried out airstrikes on Khiam, Wadi Barghaz, Jabal Abu Rashid and areas in the Western Bekaa and Jezzine regions. Despite the intense bombardment, there were no casualties reported in Qana and nearby towns.
Bekaa Region
Israeli airstrikes also intensified across the Bekaa region, with Jabal Abou Rached, Jabbour Heights and Labaya being targeted. In a tragic incident, a house near Nabi Shit public school was hit, resulting in one fatality and four injuries.
Beirut Southern Suburbs
Late on Tuesday evening, Israeli airstrikes targeted Beirut’s southern suburbs, hitting Lailaki, Haret Hreik and areas near Hezbollah facilities. Seven strikes affected locations, including Al-Raya Stadium, Al-Qaim Mosque and Bahman Hospital, causing significant damage. Avichay Adraee warned residents via social media to evacuate areas within 500 meters of Hezbollah facilities.
Israeli Army Kills Three Hezbollah Commanders
The Israeli army announced the killing of three Hezbollah commanders and around 70 other members of the group within the past 24 hours, including Khalil Mohammad Amhaz, a key expert overseeing drone operations for Hezbollah's Air Unit.
Additionally, the Israeli army reported intercepting multiple projectiles and drones launched from Lebanon, with four UAVs and several rockets crossing into Israeli territory before being intercepted. The situation prompted air raid sirens across Israel, with civilians rushing to shelters, particularly in Tel Aviv and Haifa.
For its part, Hezbollah launched a series of rocket attacks targeting Israeli military positions, including the suburbs of Tel Aviv. The group claimed responsibility for rocket barrages aimed at Israeli soldiers in Manara, Misgav and Kiryat Shmona. They also targeted Israel's Military Intelligence Unit 8200 base near Tel Aviv.
International Condemnations
In other developments, Amnesty International condemned the Israeli airstrike on the Al-Qard Al-Hassan institution, calling it a “war crime.” The organization highlighted concerns over Israel’s pattern of targeting civilian areas amid the escalating conflict.
