Lebanon: 2,897 Martyrs Reported, 19 Israelis Injured from Resistance Attacks

BEIRUT  (Palestine Foundation Information Center) The Lebanese Ministry of Health reported the martyrdom of 52 people yesterday, Friday, due to Israeli airstrikes on the eastern part of the country.

Israel has expanded its genocidal war on the Gaza Strip to include Lebanon, resulting in 2,897 deaths and 13,047 injuries, mostly among women and children, along with the displacement of about 1.4 million people.

Hezbollah continues to launch daily attacks using rockets, drones, and artillery against Israeli military positions, while the occupation maintains military censorship regarding its human and material losses.

The Ministry of Health said in a statement that “Israeli airstrikes on Lebanon in the past 24 hours resulted in 30 martyrs.”

Since September 23, the Israeli occupation has expanded its campaign of extermination to include most areas of Lebanon, including the capital Beirut, through unprecedentedly violent and intensive airstrikes. It has also begun a ground invasion in the south, disregarding international warnings and UN resolutions.

In response, Hezbollah continues to retaliate daily with rockets, drones, and artillery shells targeting Israeli military positions and settlements. While Israel announces some of its human and material losses, military censorship imposes strict secrecy on most losses, according to observers.

Nineteen Israelis were injured this morning, Saturday, after a rocket struck the town of Tayyarah in central Israel. The Israeli Broadcasting Authority reported that the rocket caused 11 injuries before emergency services raised the number to 19, noting that the rocket directly targeted a building.

For its part, the Israeli occupation army said that it had detected the launch of three rockets from Lebanon toward Tel Aviv and its environs, and that some of them were intercepted, adding that details are still under investigation.

The army confirmed that sirens sounded in several areas in central Israel following rocket fire from Lebanon. This occurs while the Israeli aggression against Lebanon continues, and confrontations between the occupation forces and Hezbollah intensify.
