Beirut, Lebanon – Israeli forces launched a series of airstrikes targeting various areas in southern and central Lebanon, including the cities of Tyre and Nabatieh, as well as areas in Mount Lebanon, in a new escalation of tensions on the Lebanese scene.

Local sources reported hearing loud explosions in the targeted areas, amid heavy overflights by warplanes. Ambulance and civil defense teams rushed to the bombing sites to assess the damage and treat any casualties.
