Hezbollah has vowed swift revenge as Israel hints at a looming ground invasion. Are you in Lebanon ? Contact [email protected] Israel has warned Washington that a limited ground operation to clear out Hezbollah infrastructure in Lebanon could start imminently, a US official told the Washington Post today.
He added that 'everything that needs to be done - will be done' and that 'we will use all the forces from the air, sea and land'. People check for drone attacks as Israeli airstrikes continue while people flee and take refuge in parks and squares in Beirut Elite commandos were said to be targeting the Iran-backed group's infrastructure, including weapon sites and control centres, as it scrambles to recover from the loss of long-time chief Hassan Nasrallah.
France and the US have so far led efforts to de-escalate, proposing a 21-day-ceasefire that was initially rebuffed by Israel. Mourners react at the funeral of people killed in an Israeli attack on Sunday in the city of Ain Deleb in southern Lebanon An Israeli airstrike on Hezbollah's Beirut headquarters on Friday left the group's leader, Hassan Nasrallah, dead, the IDF and Hezbollah confirmed Saturday.
That statement came hours after the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine , a secular left-wing group, said three of its members were killed in a strike on Beirut's Kola district early today. Search and rescue team members, together with locals, work to find bodies under the rubble of buildings destroyed in an Israeli airstrike the previous day in Ain el-Delb neighborhood, east of the port city of Sidon, southern Lebanon
'We will face any scenario and we are ready if Israel decides to enter by land, the resistance forces are ready for any ground confrontation. While Qassem automatically takes over the Hezbollah leadership after Nasrallah's death, the group's decision-making Shura Council must meet to elect a new secretary-general.
'It's not clear to me whether there is an heir apparent. And would they want primarily a fighter or a political or religious leader?' This screenshot from a video taken on Sept. 29, 2024 shows a fire following Israeli airstrikes on Yemen's Red Sea port city of Hodeidah Read More Inside Israel's years-long mission to oust Hezbollah terror boss Hassan Nasrallah More than 1,030 people - including 156 women and 87 children - have been killed in less than two weeks, according to Lebanon's Health Ministry, since Israel stepped up its attacks on Hezbollah.Shocking pictures and videos showed ambulances and fire crews gathered outside the building as flames raged inside.
Lebanon's official Palestinian refugee camps were created for Palestinians who were driven out or fled during the 1948 war at the time of Israel's creation. The IDF said it targeted power plants and sea port facilities in the city of Hodeida, with pictures circulating on social media showing huge explosions.
'But the Iraqis and Houthis will want to make some noise. More projectiles fired at Israel are possible - and Red Sea activity.' Tensions are escalating after Israel said it had wiped out Hezbollah's top brass in the airstrike on southern Beirut that killed the group's leader, Hassan Nasrallah Reuters reported Nasrallah's body was found yesterday, and videos circulating on social media purport to show his body being retrieved.
Workers at the marina told the Mail that staff from the Saudi Arabia embassy had departed from Lebanon by boat on Saturday evening. It was unclear whether the ambassador was among the group. The Al-Mayadeen network reported more than 10 air strikes were carried out on oil tankers in the area as revenge for missile attacks which had been fired into Israel by the Houthi Rebels.Soldiers were seen making last-minute preparations as a ground invasion of Lebanon loomsYemen's Houthis have repeatedly fired missiles and drones at Israel since October 7 in what they say are solidarity attacks for Palestine.
Iran has vowed revenge for the death of an Iranian general killed alongside Nasrallah on Friday. Abbas Araghchi, Iranian foreign minister, said the killing of Brigadier General Abbas Nilforoushan 'will not go unanswered'. Nasrallah, seen addressing supporters in Lebanon's capital Beirut in November 2013, was killed by an Israeli air strike on the city on Friday
Up to 1million Lebanese people have now also been displaced from their homes as a result of the fighting, according to Najid Mikati, the Lebanese prime minister. This week, Herzi Halevi, Israel's chief of the general staff, told troops that the fierce aerial bombardment was to 'prepare the ground for your possible entry'.
'We let them build up again on our border after 2006 and that was a mistake', 39-year-old Yuval, a British citizen and reservist infantryman, whose parents moved to Israel in the 1970s, told The Times. As Israel launch attacks on Lebanon and Yemen, the Houthi-run health ministry said at least four people were killed and 29 wounded in airstrikes on Yemen's port of Hodeidah, which Israel said were a response to Houthi missile attacks.On Monday, an Israeli air airstrike hit an upper floor of an apartment building in the Kola district of Beirut, with firefighters seen tackling a blaze.
Many of Israel's attacks have been carried out in the south of Lebanon, where the Iran-backed Hezbollah has most of its operations, or Beirut's southern suburbs. 'An all-out war with Hezbollah, certainly with Iran, is not the way to do that. If you want to get those folks back home safely and sustainably, we believe that a diplomatic path is the right course,' he told CNN.
Safieddine joined Hezbollah soon after it was set up during the Lebanese civil war – after Israel besieged the capital Beirut in 1982. There were jubilant scenes in the northern Syrian city of Idlib, where people took to the streets honking horns, handing out sweets and thanking Israelis. In contrast to the scenes of joy outside the Israeli embassy in London, Iran's embassy to the UK in the capital has lowered its flag to half-mast following Nasrallah's death.
Iran helped establish Hezbollah in the 1980s and has provided the Lebanese militant group with sophisticated weaponry and training.
