Multiple Air Strikes Hit Lebanon as US-Iran Ceasefire is Announced At least 12 people have been reported killed and over 30 injured in a wave of air strikes carried out by the Israeli military across Lebanon on Thursday evening. The attacks hit several locations, including the southern suburbs of Beirut, southern Lebanon, and the eastern Bekaa Valley. The strikes, which began just hours after a US-Iran ceasefire was announced, have raised concerns about the potential for further escalation in the region. The US and Iran announced a temporary truce in their conflict, which had seen a series of missile attacks and airstrikes in recent weeks. According to eyewitnesses, Israeli warplanes launched a series of missile strikes on the southern suburbs of Beirut, where the Iranian-backed Hezbollah movement has a strong presence. The attacks also targeted several buildings and infrastructure in the area, causing widespread damage and disrupting power supplies. In southern Lebanon, Israeli fighter jets bombed several villages and towns, including the city of Tyre, where several people were killed and injured. The attacks also targeted several Hezbollah strongholds in the area, which have been a focus of Israeli military operations in recent weeks. The eastern Bekaa Valley, a strategic region that borders Syria, was also hit by Israeli air strikes, with reports of several attacks on Hezbollah positions and infrastructure. The region has been a key battleground in the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, with both sides engaging in a series of clashes and missile attacks in recent weeks. The Israeli military has released a statement confirming that it carried out the air strikes, citing a continued threat from Hezbollah and Iranian-backed militias in the region. The statement also emphasized that the strikes were a necessary measure to protect Israeli citizens and prevent further attacks. The US-Iran ceasefire, which was announced earlier in the day, is seen as a major development in the region, with many analysts believing that it could help to reduce tensions and prevent further escalation. However, the Israeli air strikes have raised concerns about the potential for further conflict, and the situation in Lebanon remains highly volatile. The Lebanese military has issued a statement condemning the Israeli air strikes, calling them a "clear aggression" that threatens regional stability. The statement also called for restraint and calm, urging all parties to respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Lebanon. Source: undefined.
