"Israeli attacks on Friday also hit areas of Beirut not previously targeted in this conflict. A drone struck a residential building in the Bourj Hammoud district in the city's northeastern suburbs, while separate strikes hit the Jnah and Nabaa neighbourhoods. Nine people, including five children, were killed in Arki near Sidon, and eight more died in the Fawwar area."
"Defence Minister Israel Katz made clear more such strikes would follow, saying the Lebanese government would face increasing costs through damage to infrastructure and loss of territory for as long as Hezbollah remained armed."
"Since then, Israeli attacks have killed at least 773 people and wounded 1,933 more, including 103 children, Lebanon's Ministry of Public Health said on Friday. More than 800,000 people, roughly one in seven of the population, have been forced from their homes."
Since March 2, Israeli military operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon have resulted in 773 deaths and 1,933 wounded, including 103 children. Over 800,000 people have been displaced. Israel destroyed the Zrarieh Bridge spanning the Litani River, marking the first acknowledged strike on civilian infrastructure. Israeli forces expanded attacks to previously untargeted Beirut neighborhoods including Bourj Hammoud, Jnah, and Nabaa, killing civilians including children. Defence Minister Israel Katz stated infrastructure damage and territorial losses would continue as long as Hezbollah remains armed. Leaflets dropped over Beirut warned Lebanon faces destruction comparable to Gaza's devastation.
