Following claims by Hezbollah of targeting 'enemy soldiers' at the Israel-Lebanon border, Israeli troops have initiated ground raids in villages near the border, supported by airstrikes and artillery. Simultaneously, Israel has conducted strikes on south Beirut, while Syrian state media reports deadly strikes around Damascus.
Iranians lay flowers beneath a billboard bearing a portrait of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, who was killed in an Israel i air strike on Beirut's southern suburbs on September 27, during an anti- Israel protest in Palestine Square in Tehran on September 30, 2024.
There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military, which has carried out hundreds of strikes on Syria in recent years. There was no immediate comment from Hezbollah following the Israeli army's announcement of the ground raids, but the group's al-Manar television reported the Israeli statement on its Telegram channel.
On Monday evening, the Israeli military ordered people in three districts of southern Beirut to evacuate. Earlier on Monday, an Israeli strike hit a building in central Beirut, with an armed Palestinian group saying it had killed three of its members.
