Lebanon Under Israeli Fire Anew: Most Violent Strikes on Dahiyeh Since 2024 Ceasefire

The Israeli enemy launched on Thursday a wave of strikes targeting residential buildings in Beirut’s southern suburb, Dahiyeh, on the eve of Eid Al-Adha.

More than 20 strikes, including preliminary raids, targeted at least four locations across the Dahiyeh, in the most violent strikes since the ceasefire between Lebanon and the Zionist entity took effect on November 27, 2024 following a 66-day brutal Israeli war.

The strikes were preceded by four evacuation orders issues by the Israeli occupation army.
Trough out three hours, residential buildings in Al-Qaem area, American Neighborhood, Rweis and Kafaat across the Dahiyeh, our correspondent said.

Local media reported heavy traffic in Dahiyeh as the occupation army issued the evacuation threats.
The evacuation orders in Dahiyeh were followed by a fifth order for the southern Lebanese town of Ain Qana.

The strikes on Thursday are the fourth aggression on Dahiyeh since the 2024 ceasefire.

The first aggression took place in late March, targeting the area of Jamous, while the other attacks were carried out by the Israeli occupation in April, targeting Hay Madi and Jamous areas.

Lebanese Officials Denounce Flagrant Attack

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun, PM Nawaf Salam and Speaker Nabih Berri strongly condemned as flagrant the Israeli aggression, urging the international community to act to stop the attacks.

In a statement, the Lebanese Presidency voiced “firm condemnation of the Israeli aggression” and called the strikes a “blatant violation of an international agreement, as well as the basic principles of international and humanitarian laws and resolutions, on the eve of a sacred religious occasion,” referring to Eid Al-Adha.
President Aoun said the attacks prove the Israeli “rejection of the requirements of stability, settlement and just peace in our region.”

The Lebanese president accused the Israeli occupation of using Lebanon as a “mailbox” to send a message to the United States.

For his part, PM Salam also issued a statement condemning the strikes calling on the international community to assume its responsibilities to deter ‘Israel’ from continuing its attacks and oblige it to fully withdraw from the points it still occupies in south Lebanon.

Commenting on the Israeli aggression, Speaker Nabih Berri said that his stance matches with that of President Aoun “in all its national aspects.”

“Israeli hostility does not target a sect or a region, but rather all of Lebanon, the Lebanese, and the Arabs,” Speaker Berri stated, in remarks carried by Al-Manar.
