Tel Aviv, Sept. 23, 2024 (TheGavel) — The Israeli army reported on Monday that it has successfully targeted more than 300 sites linked to the Hezbollah militia in Lebanon, marking a significant escalation in military operations against the group. The decision to launch these attacks was authorized by military chief of staff Herzi Halevi during strategic consultations at military headquarters in Tel Aviv.
The Israeli military has accused Hezbollah of deliberately hiding weapons and military infrastructure within residential buildings, particularly in southern Lebanon. This tactic has raised concerns about civilian safety amid the ongoing conflict. According to Lebanese sources, around 60 villages have been subjected to airstrikes, leading to widespread damage and displacement of residents.
In an effort to mitigate civilian casualties, the Israeli army had issued multiple warnings urging the local population to evacuate areas identified as targets prior to the strikes. These warnings were disseminated through various channels, including leaflets and media announcements, advising residents to leave immediately to ensure their safety.
The military action comes amid heightened tensions in the region, with ongoing clashes and a deteriorating security situation. Hezbollah has not yet publicly commented on the latest attacks, but the group has a long history of retaliatory actions against Israeli strikes.
As the conflict unfolds, international observers are closely monitoring the situation, calling for restraint from both sides to prevent further escalation and civilian harm. (NAN)
