The attacks, which occurred just before midnight, hit the southern suburbs of Beirut, a known Hezbollah stronghold. A Hezbollah-affiliated source confirmed that three separate strikes were launched by the Israeli military, marking the third attack on the area in less than 24 hours

In an official statement from the Egyptian Foreign Ministry, Abdelaty warned that Israel's actions could inflame tensions across the region, potentially leading to “dire security and humanitarian consequences”

The targeted strike is part of a series of retaliatory actions by Israel as the conflict between Israel and Hamas continues to escalate, particularly following the deadly October 7, 2023 attack launched by Hamas on Israeli territory

The strike, which took place on Friday evening, is being hailed as one of Israel’s most audacious military operations in recent years. Israeli defense officials revealed that they had tracked Nasrallah’s whereabouts for months, waiting for the opportune moment to act

The situation has prompted major airlines in the region to prioritize passenger safety and adapt their operations accordingly. Dubai’s Emirates Airlines confirmed on Thursday that all flights to Beirut have been cancelled until October 1

In an interview with Udi Segal and Anat Davidov on 103FM on Sunday morning, Marom highlighted the recent damage inflicted on Hezbollah's command structure, stressing that the group is now in one of the most vulnerable positions in its history

The IDF has primarily focused on southern Lebanon, but Monday’s strikes extended deeper into the Bekaa Valley, a region historically used by the militant group for operational and logistical support

The attack comes in the wake of a recent, fatal incident in the same region. In February 2024, a terror attack in Eli resulted in the deaths of two Israelis. The three perpetrators of that attack were subsequently killed by Israeli forces

The first ceasefire is scheduled to occur in the central region, with a cessation of hostilities from 6:00 am to 3:00 pm. Following this, similar pauses will be implemented in the southern and northern regions, maintaining the same time frame each day

In the past month alone, the number of displaced individuals has surged from 99,000 to 112,000, a trend that is expected to continue as the conflict spreads to new areas like the eastern Bekaa Valley and southern suburbs of Beirut

The sonic booms were heard just as Hezbollah was preparing for Nasrallah's address, which was set to commemorate one week since the killing of the group's top military commander, Fuad Shukr, in an Israeli airstrike on Beirut's southern suburbs

The attack, which Israel has attributed to the Iranian-backed militant group Hezbollah, has triggered a wave of international condemnation and raised fears of a potential escalation of violence in the region
