Israel bombed Beirut for a second consecutive day on Tuesday, targeting the capital’s southern suburbs as Hezbollah claimed a fresh series of attacks on Israeli military sites.
The Israeli military said its Air Force carried out a wave of strikes on Hezbollah military assets in Beirut, hitting weapons depots, command centers, and “satellite communications” equipment linked to the group’s intelligence operations. “Communication sites used by the Hezbollah terror organization as terror infrastructure were struck,” the military said. “These sites were employed to carry out terror activities, collect intelligence, and for propaganda purposes.” Lebanese media reported that the studios of Hezbollah-owned Al-Manar television were among the targets.
The latest air raids struck the Haret Hreik district of Dahiyeh following at least two earlier strikes on Beirut’s outskirts. In addition, two airstrikes hit the Hadath area in the southern suburbs, including a building housing Hezbollah’s Al-Nour radio station. The Al-Manar television channel, also based in the southern suburbs, was reportedly shelled overnight.
The escalation in Beirut coincided with air raid sirens sounding across northern Israel, after reports of rockets fired from southern Lebanon toward the Upper Galilee panhandle.
Earlier Tuesday, Hezbollah said it had launched a drone attack at dawn on Israel’s Ramat David airbase. In a statement, the group said it dispatched “a squadron of attack drones toward radar sites and control rooms at the Ramat David Airbase in northern occupied Palestine,” describing the operation as retaliation for Israeli strikes across Lebanon.
In a separate statement, Hezbollah said it had targeted “the Meron surveillance and air operations management base in northern occupied Palestine with a squadron of attack drones,” claiming the strike damaged a radar system and a command building. The group also announced “a heavy rocket barrage targeting the Nafah base, headquarters of the 210th Bashan Division, in the occupied Syrian Golan,” and said it fired rockets at an Israeli army base in the Golan Heights at 6:30 a.m.
Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported that Hezbollah had fired a salvo of 15 rockets toward northern Israel shortly before the sirens went off.
On the ground in southern Lebanon, Israeli forces shelled a house in the border village of Deir Mimas with a tank round fired from a Merkava tank, according to local reports. A Red Cross vehicle was dispatched to the scene. An Israeli airstrike also hit a room at the Nassoub plant nursery in the al-Ain neighborhood of Jebchit.
Meanwhile, an Israeli force composed of a tank and three bulldozers advanced from the northern town of Metula toward the Tal al-Nahas area, situated between the Lebanese villages of Kfarkila and Burj al-Molouk, while shelling continued to pound the nearby town of Khiam.
