The Israeli occupation has intensified its large-scale aggression against Lebanon, carrying out a series of coordinated airstrikes that have left more than 250 people martyred and over 1,150 others wounded on Wednesday, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Health.
Approximately 150 airstrikes were carried out across Lebanon within just two hours, highlighting the scale and intensity of the attacks that targeted several regions across the country, including the capital Beirut, its southern suburbs, southern Lebanon, the Bekaa Valley, and Mount Lebanon, with residential neighborhoods and civilian infrastructure bearing the brunt of the bombardment.
The Lebanese Civil Defense announced that a total of 254 people were martyred and 1,165 others were injured in Wednesday’s attacks.
In Beirut alone, 92 people were killed and 742 wounded, while the Southern Suburb accounted for 61 martyrs and 200 injuries.
In the Baalbek and Hermel regions, 18 and 9 people were killed, respectively, with dozens more injured.
Other areas also suffered heavily, with 28 people killed and 59 wounded in Nabatieh, 17 martyrs and 6 injuries in Alay, 12 martyrs and 56 injured in Saida, and 17 martyrs and 68 wounded in Tyre.
Shortly after midnight on Thursday, an Israeli warplane launched a violent airstrike on Beirut’s southern suburbs, part of a continued wave of raids striking densely populated areas. The attack caused further destruction and added to the already mounting casualty toll.
Medical teams and emergency services are reportedly struggling to cope with the destruction as hospitals face increasing pressure amid the ongoing bombardment.
The bombings followed earlier announcements of an immediate ceasefire agreement that was expected to include Lebanon. However, the Israeli occupation violated the ceasfire and continued its attacks, carrying out widespread bombings that amount to massacres against civilians.
The aggression targeted homes, buildings, and infrastructure across multiple regions, contributing to a sharp rise in casualties and widespread destruction. The continued bombardment reflects a clear violation of ceasefire efforts and underscores a deliberate escalation policy.
Hezbollah condemns attacks, vows response
Hezbollah condemned the Israeli massacres, stressing that the blood of the victims “will not be in vain.”
"With its blind hatred, habitual criminality, and boundless brutality, now an entrenched characteristic of its nature, the Israeli enemy today carried out a series of roaming massacres against safe civilian populations," the statement stressed.
The resistance affirmed that these crimes will not go unanswered, reiterating its commitment to defending Lebanon and confronting ongoing aggression.
Lebanese political voices have warned against attempts to restrict the role of the resistance, stressing that preventing it from defending the country would violate constitutional principles.
