According to Lebanese reports, Israel's military has once again heavily attacked the suburbs south of Beirut from the air. By the morning, the state agency NNA reported around 25 attacks there, while local media also reported massive attacks during the night and in the morning.

Among other things, a petrol station and a building in which medicines were stored were hit in the area near the international airport. In the suburbs south of the capital, it was the heaviest bombardment since the beginning of the Israeli attacks there, reported NNA. The explosions were also heard in the center of Beirut.

Israel also continued its attacks in the south, including in the Nabatijeh area. The Ministry of Health announced that a further 23 people had been killed and more than 90 others injured. According to the ministry, more than 2,000 people have been killed and almost 10,000 others injured since the start of the new confrontations between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon a year ago. The ministry does not differentiate between civilians and Hezbollah fighters.
