Israel has carried out the biggest air strike since 2006 on the dreaded Iran-backed terrorist group Hezbollah in Lebanon. Israeli fighter jets are still dropping bombs in southern Lebanon. According to the media reports, At least 500 people were killed and more than 1600 were injured in Israel’s air strike. Notably, Hezbollah terrorists support Hamas in the Gaza war. The Lebanese Health Ministry said that about 500 people, including dozens of women and children, were killed and more than 1,600 civilians were injured in Israeli air strikes against Hezbollah in Lebanon.
The entire Lebanon was shocked by the attacks. Earlier, Israel had destroyed Hezbollah’s communication network (pager and walkie-talkie). 37 people have lost their lives in pager and walkie-talkie explosions in Lebanon. According to the media reports, Israel has failed to force Hezbollah to retreat from the Lebanon-Israel border. Hezbollah has said that it will continue to attack Israel until a ceasefire is agreed between Israel and Hezbollah’s ally Hamas in Gaza.
According to Lebanon’s Health Minister, thousands of families were displaced in the latest attacks. Israel also targeted ambulances and fire engines. On the other hand, Israeli forces attacked a school building in central Gaza on Monday. Displaced Palestinians are living in this school. On Tuesday morning the Israel Defense Force said in a statement that the Air Force attacked about 1,600 Hezbollah targets in Lebanon on Monday.
The attack is still going on and Israel has intercepted about 165 rockets from Lebanon with an antimissile defense system. The Pentagon announced that it would send US troops to the Middle East to protect thousands of Americans living in Lebanon. French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot has demanded that an emergency meeting of the Security Council be called on the situation in Lebanon. Attacks from both sides should stop immediately.
