The Lebanese Health Ministry announced, “The death toll from the Israeli bombing of a residential neighborhood in the southern suburbs of Beirut has risen to 31, including 3 children and 7 women. Rubble removal operations are ongoing to search for the missing, and 67 others were injured.”
The Lebanese Al-Jadeed channel reported that “the rubble removal operations are still ongoing,” noting that “there are more than 10 missing people, including children.”
Hezbollah mourned 13 of its members and leaders who were killed in the Israeli airstrike on the southern suburbs of Beirut.
In successive statements, Hezbollah mourned the “great jihadist leader” Ibrahim Aqil “Hajj Abdul Qader,” the founder of Hezbollah’s Radwan Force, and the commander Ahmed Mahmoud Wahbi “Hajj Abu Hussein Samir,” the commander of the Radwan Force’s military operations since the start of the Battle of Tufan al-Aqsa.
Hezbollah also mourned: Mahmoud Yassin Hamad “Fajr”, Samer Abdel Halim Halawi “Hamza al-Gharbiya”, Hassan Hussein Madi “Abu Hadi Midoun”, Muhammad Ahmad Reda “Abu Ali Nineveh”, Muhammad Qasim al-Attar “Abu Yasser al-Attar”, Ahmad Samir Deeb “Jihad”, Abdullah Abbas Hijazi “Bilal”, Aref Ahmad al-Raz “Siraj”, Hassan Ali Hussein “Abu Sajid”, Abbas Sami Muslimmani “Siraj Ali”, Hussein Ahmad Hadraj “Siraj”, Hussein Youssef Abdul Sater “Baqer”, Mahdi Muslim Jamoul “Jawad”.
The Israeli bombing caused significant material damage to the two buildings, neighboring buildings, cars, and infrastructure in the area. The Lebanese Civil Defense announced that the Israeli aggression led to the collapse of two residential buildings.
“This targeting of a populated residential area proves once again that the Israeli enemy does not give weight to any humanitarian, legal or moral considerations, but rather is proceeding with what resembles genocide, and we witnessed its most horrific images in the aggression that took place on Tuesday and Wednesday, which claimed dozens of martyrs and thousands of wounded,” said caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati during a cabinet session. “This new aggression is directed at the global conscience and the international community, which is silent about the violation of human rights, justice and laws,” he added.
