"The toll from the Israeli aggression on Monday increased to 123 martyrs and 683 wounded, a ministry statement said on Thursday. Lebanese state media said early on Friday that Israel had launched air strikes on several towns in southern Lebanon. Enemy warplanes launched nighttime strikes on the towns of Srifa, Aita al-Shaab, Touline, as-Sawana and Majdal Selem."
"Hezbollah's message to evacuate the border areas came less than a day after Israel threatened residents that they should leave Beirut's southern suburbs, prompting a huge exodus from a swath of the capital's densely populated area known as Dahiyeh, where some half a million people live. The Israeli army said it has conducted 26 rounds of attacks in Dahiyeh."
"Your military's aggression against Lebanese sovereignty and safe citizens, the destruction of civilian infrastructure and the expulsion campaign it is carrying out will not go unchallenged, Hezbollah said. Hezbollah claimed responsibility for a wave of attacks early on Friday on Israeli ground forces, including those who have entered Lebanon's territory in recent days."
Israeli military operations in Lebanon intensified this week, resulting in at least 123 deaths and 683 wounded according to Lebanese health authorities. Hezbollah responded by warning Israeli residents within 5km of the northern border to evacuate, marking an escalation in the conflict. Israel conducted 26 rounds of attacks on Beirut's southern suburbs (Dahiyeh), claiming to target Hezbollah infrastructure including the group's Executive Council headquarters and drone warehouses. The evacuation warning prompted approximately half a million residents to flee the densely populated area. Hezbollah denied the legitimacy of Israeli military actions and claimed responsibility for counterattacks on Israeli ground forces that had entered Lebanese territory. The escalation represents one of the fiercest phases of the broader U.S.-Israel conflict with Iran.
