Local media reported that the bombings hit apartments, residential buildings, and roads in the southern areas of this capital, where plumes of smoke rose after the explosions.

The raids also targeted several towns in the country’s southern region, among them Srifa, Al-Shahabiya, Deir Qanoun al-Nahr, and the al-Salihiya neighborhood in Nabatieh, regional media reported.

Eyewitnesses and videos shared on local platforms showed extensive damage to civilian infrastructure, including buildings and vehicles, as well as fires in residential areas.

The Israeli army affirmed to have bombed targets belonging to the Lebanese Hezbollah movement in several regions of the country in response to rocket fire toward northern Israel.

The escalation occurs in a regional context marked by confrontation between Israel, the United States, and Iran, following the offensive launched against the Iranian nation and Tehran’s subsequent response with missiles and drones against Israeli territory and US bases in the region.
