Israel Continues Massive Airstrikes in Southern Beirut

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Israeli airstrikes targeted southern Beirut and other areas in Lebanon on Saturday, intensifying a conflict that has left hundreds dead, while Hezbollah denied Israeli claims of weapon storage in civilian buildings hit during the raids.

A new wave of Israeli airstrikes hit the Dahiyeh area in southern Beirut, Lebanon's capital, early Saturday.

These strikes followed earlier attacks in the al-Hadath and Laylaki neighborhoods, with reports of more than 30 strikes in total.

Further attacks hit Choueifat, another suburb of southern Beirut, during what has been described as "a third wave of strikes."

The Israeli military claimed that the strikes targeted "weapons belonging to Hezbollah" stored beneath civilian buildings.

In response, Hezbollah’s Media Relations Office dismissed these allegations, stating, "The enemy's claims about the presence of weapons or weapons depots in the civilian buildings targeted by the bombing in the southern suburb are false."

Simultaneously, Israeli airstrikes hit areas near the city of Tyre in southern Lebanon, including al-Bass, Burj al-Shamali, and al-Maashouq.

On Friday, Israeli warplanes struck residential structures in Dahiyeh's Haret Hreik neighborhood, killing at least eight people and injuring about 80 others.

These attacks are part of an ongoing escalation that began on October 7 when Israel launched its genocidal aggression on Gaza.

Since Monday, the Israeli violence has worsened, claiming more than 700 lives across Lebanon.

Hezbollah has launched retaliatory strikes against Israeli positions in the occupied Palestinian territories.

The United Nations' humanitarian coordinator in Lebanon, Imran Riza, warned of a worsening situation, saying, "We are witnessing the deadliest period in Lebanon in a generation, and many express their fear that this is just the beginning."
