Rockets, drones target swaths of northern Israel as fighter jets strike buildings in Beirut after evacuation warnings; IDF says several Hezbollah field commanders killed recently
The military said Wednesday that it has further expanded its ground operation in southern Lebanon, as it continued to carry out airstrikes in Beirut while Hezbollah fired rockets and drones at northern Israel.
The Israel Defense Forces said that its 91st Division was reaching “new targets” belonging to Hezbollah. It said commandos operating with the division raided several new areas, as other brigades continued “defensive and offensive activities in the area.”
A day earlier, the IDF said that the 36th Division has also expanded ground operations in southern Lebanon.
Meanwhile, Israeli fighter jets continued to strike Hezbollah targets in the southern suburbs of Beirut after issuing an evacuation warning for six buildings in the area. AFPTV footage showed a plume of black smoke rising over the area that was struck, about an hour after the army told residents of parts of the southern suburbs to leave. There were no immediate reports of casualties.
Separately, an Israeli airstrike on an apartment building in the town of Aramoun, just south of Beirut, killed at least six people and wounded 15 others, Lebanon’s health ministry said.
