Israeli fighters raided the Doris area in the vicinity of the city of Baalbek, and the Rayak Ali al-Nahri area in the central Bekaa, where they targeted a residential building.
Al Jazeera's correspondent explained that the Israeli army launched 3 raids on the vicinity of the city of Baalbek, and local Lebanese platforms reported that they targeted areas including the areas of Nabi Sheet, the outskirts of Ablah, Rayak, the Ferzal Plain, and Durrus.
Israeli aircraft also bombed a building in the Karak locality in the Zahle district and the town of Al-Ain, north of the Bekaa Valley in eastern Lebanon, as well as the Al-Qasimiya area and the town of Qaqa’iyya in southern Lebanon.
Yesterday, the Lebanese Ministry of Health reported that 21 people were martyred and 4 wounded, as a result of an Israeli raid on the town of “Ayto”, in the Zgharta district in northern Lebanon.
Al Jazeera's correspondent reported that the raid targeted a residential building, and led to material damage to neighboring buildings. Ambulance teams transported the injured to area hospitals. The raid on “Ayto” is the first targeting the Zgharta region since the beginning of the confrontations.
Hezbollah missiles
On the other hand, Al Jazeera's correspondent reported that Hezbollah fired missiles at night from southern Lebanon towards Israel, and the Israeli Home Front said that sirens sounded in Shtula, northern Israel.
The party said that it bombed with missiles a gathering of Israeli forces at the Al-Baghdadi site and the Kiryat Shmona colony.
Yesterday, Tel Aviv was subjected to an unprecedented missile attack, as sirens sounded in about 200 cities, towns, and locations.
The Israeli army announced that it confronted 3 ballistic missiles launched from Lebanon towards Israel and later bombed the launch pads.
This attack caused two million Israelis to take shelter in shelters, and disrupted navigation at Ben Gurion Airport.
This attack comes after the Golani Brigade's base in the town of Binyamina, south of Haifa, was attacked by a drone, killing 4 Israeli soldiers and wounding dozens.
Following Hezbollah's missile attacks on Israeli military sites in the Upper Galilee, the party expanded its missile bombardment on the Karmiel settlement east of Haifa, a naval base north of Haifa, and Beit Lid north of Tel Aviv. Sirens sounded in Safed, Tiberias, and large areas of Galilee.
Netanyahu threatens
Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday threatened Hezbollah to continue its strikes “without mercy,” after launching a drone attack that caused the largest Israeli death toll since the start of the latest escalation in late September.
“I want to be clear: We will continue to strike Hezbollah mercilessly throughout Lebanon, including Beirut,” Netanyahu said during a visit to the targeted base.
Since last September 23, Israel has expanded the scope of the genocide it has been committing in the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, to include Lebanon by launching air strikes that targeted the capital, Beirut, in addition to ground incursions into the south.
The Israeli raids in Lebanon – as of Sunday evening – resulted in 1,539 dead and 4,471 wounded, including a large number of women and children, and more than 1,340,000 displaced people.
Hezbollah responds daily with missiles, drones, and artillery shells targeting military sites and settlements, and while Israel announces some of its human and material losses, military censorship imposes a strict blackout on most of the losses, according to observers.
