Israeli
airstrikes struck several towns in southern Lebanon on Friday, Lebanese media
outlets reported, causing casualties and trapping several people under rubble
as cross-border hostilities continued.

According to
Lebanese media, Israeli warplanes targeted Khiam, Froun, and Al-Majadel, while
another strike hit a residential building east of Saida, injuring several
people. Rescue teams continued searching through the debris after a strike in
Al-Qulayleh reportedly left four people trapped beneath the rubble.

Two people
were also killed when an Israeli drone struck near the outskirts of Shebaa,
where Israeli forces later detonated a house in the area, with no injuries
reported.

In
retaliation for what Hezbollah called Israeli aggression on dozens of Lebanese
towns and Beirut’s southern suburbs, it announced a series of rocket attacks
targeting Israeli troop concentrations near Kfar Giladi, the Marj site facing
the border town of Markaba, Khallat al-Asafir south of Khiam, the Tal
al-Hamamis hill position, the southern neighborhood of Khiam, and an area near
the Khiam detention facility.

Meanwhile, the
Israeli military said its 146th Division is operating in western southern
Lebanon to destroy Hezbollah infrastructure and eliminate fighters. In a
statement, the army reported targeting about 400 sites with artillery fire,
including rocket launchers, surveillance equipment, weapons depots, and
buildings used by Hezbollah, and described killing several members of the
group, including a commander responsible for anti-tank missile operations.

The Israeli
army issued an urgent warning to residents of Beirut’s southern suburbs,
calling on civilians in Haret Hreik, Ghobeiry, Laylaki, Hadath, Burj
al-Barajneh, Tahwitat al-Ghadir, and Shiyah to evacuate the area.

Israel also reported
conducting waves of airstrikes on Thursday on what it alleged was Hezbollah
infrastructure in Beirut, the Bekaa Valley, and several areas of southern
Lebanon, including assets linked to Al-Qard Al-Hasan, a financial institution
associated with the group, and weapons depots located between the Litani and
Zahrani rivers.

Since
hostilities resumed on March 2, Israeli attacks in Lebanon have killed 687
people, including 98 children, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry, while
more than 800,000 residents have been displaced. On the Israeli side, the Israeli
Health Ministry reported 2,975 people injured, including 85 still receiving
treatment, since the start of the war with Iran on February 28, amid tight media restrictions
during the conflict. Israeli authorities have evacuated more than 100,000
residents from northern communities and settlements near the Lebanese border.
