Israel bombs Hezbollah targets as dozens of Gaza civilians killed

Description

Nearly a dozen killed in Israeli assault on southern Lebanon city

Israeli attacks on the ancient city of Tyre killed at least 11 people, Lebanon’s Health Ministry says.
Forty-eight others were also injured, the ministry added. Before Hezbollah and Israel started trading fire across the border last year, at least 50,000 people lived in Tyre, a vibrant city home to Christians and Muslims. It was emptied of most of its population when Israel’s heavy bombardment in Lebanon began last month.

Death toll rises in Israeli strike that killed Hezbollah official

Lebanon’s Ministry of Health says four people have now been confirmed killed in an Israeli assault on central Beirut’s Ras Al Naba’a district, which killed Hezbollah spokesman Mohammed Afif.

“The Israeli enemy strike on Ras Al Naba’a led to a final toll of four dead including a woman and 14 others wounded including two children,” a Health Ministry statement said, raising an earlier toll of one dead and three wounded.

Beit Lahiya residents say many homes destroyed in Israeli attacks

Residents fleeing the deadly strike on a multistorey building in Beit Lahiya say other homes were hit as well by Israeli bombing. Dozens of Palestinians were killed in the attack.

“Tonight, we did not sleep at all,” said one fleeing Beit Lahiya resident, Dalal al-Bakri. “They destroyed all the houses around us… There are many martyrs [dead].”

A Palestinian woman, Umm Hamza, said the bombing increasingly escalated overnight. “It’s cold and we don’t know where to go,” she said.

Israeli troops launched a ground invasion of northern Gaza in early October, ordering tens of thousands of residents to leave. Thousands who remain are cut off from food, water, and medicine as warnings of imminent famine continue.
