Israel kills dozens in Lebanon with 160 bombs, biggest raid of war | OneFootball

Netanyahu’s army continues pursuing its goal of displacing the population of southern Lebanon to the north of the Zahrani River. The Red Cross reported that today’s attack left more than 300 dead and wounded.

On the first day of the truce in the Middle East war, Israel continues its attacks on Lebanon, which have already left more than 1,500 dead and forced more than one million people to flee their homes. Netanyahu’s army maintains that the ceasefire does not apply to the conflict it is engaged in with Hezbollah.

The Israeli army said it launched this Wednesday its “largest attack” in Lebanon since the war against the neighboring country began on March 2, according to a statement shared on its official channels after the truce between the United States and Iran took effect.

The Lebanese government said that Israeli attacks launched against different parts of Lebanon caused “dozens” of deaths and “hundreds” of injuries, in the “largest attack” by the Jewish state since the war against the Mediterranean country began on March 2.

“In a very serious escalation, Israeli warplanes launched a wave of simultaneous airstrikes against several Lebanese areas, which, according to an initial count, left dozens of martyrs and hundreds of wounded,” the Lebanese Health Ministry detailed.

According to the director of the Lebanese Red Cross speaking to Al Arabi, these Israeli attacks have caused more than 300 dead and wounded in Beirut and its southern suburb.

“In 10 minutes and across different areas simultaneously: the IDF (Israel Defense Forces, the army) completed the largest coordinated attack, striking more than 100 Hezbollah command centers and military positions,” begins the statement, which describes bombings against Beirut, the Bekaa Valley, and southern Lebanon.

According to the Israeli army, the targets included intelligence centers and headquarters of the Shiite group Hezbollah, the organization’s missile-launching and naval infrastructure, and assets of the Radwan Force and its Aerial Unit 127, both elite corps.

“The terrorist organization Hezbollah deliberately decided to join the war, acting on behalf of the Iranian terrorist regime and harming the State of Lebanon and its civilians,” the statement continues.

Hezbollah began attacking Israel on March 2, three days after the Hebrew state launched coordinated strikes against Iran that started the war, in retaliation for the death of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

Israel then launched a bombing campaign across the entire country and a ground operation in the south, although it had already been attacking Lebanon almost daily despite the ceasefire that had been in force since November 2024.

Although Pakistan announced early this morning that the United States and Iran had reached a ceasefire that implied an end to hostilities in Lebanon, Israel continues its bombings..

According to Lebanese authorities, more than 1,500 people have died on Lebanese territory and another 4,800 have been wounded in Israeli attacks.

“The ceasefire does not apply in Lebanon”

The Israeli army reiterated this Wednesday its displacement order for the population of southern Lebanon to move north of the Zahrani River in a statement in which it declared that its operation in the country continues despite the ceasefire with Iran.

“The operation in Lebanon continues, the ceasefire does not apply in Lebanon,” the statement says, reiterating the displacement orders already in force, though it comes hours after Pakistan’s prime minister, Shehbaz Sharif, determined that the truce does include the Levantine country.

The Israeli armed forces said they continue fighting the Lebanese Shiite group Hezbollah in the south of the country and stated that the population that remains in the area will be risking their lives.

Since Iran’s last attack at around 3:00 a.m. local time (00:00 GMT) on the north of the country, Israel has also not recorded attacks coming from Lebanon, which until yesterday had been constant in the north of the country.
