Tel Aviv Says It Killed 70 Hezbollah Members, Attacked More Than 120 Targets



The Israeli army said today that it had eliminated about 70 militiamen and attacked more than 120 Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon and in the southern suburbs of Beirut, a stronghold of the Shiite group devastated by Israeli strikes.


"During the night, the Israeli Armed Forces carried out detailed attacks based on intelligence information against weapons manufacturing and maintenance facilities and a weapons depot belonging to the terrorist organization Hezbollah in the Dahye area, an important stronghold," a military statement detailed today.


The text also explained that another of the targets attacked was an infrastructure of the Hezbollah air unit, without specifying where, as well as militiamen who fired at Israeli troops, who began a ground invasion of Lebanon on October 1.


Also, according to the Magen David Adom ambulance service, a 61-year-old man was slightly injured in the torso and another 31-year-old man in the hand, after a Hezbollah drone attack on the Bar Lev industrial park, near the city of Karmiel, in northern Israel.


Regarding the war in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli army said today that it had eliminated more than 40 militiamen in the north of Jabalia in the last day alone, an area that has been under military siege for more than 21 days and where hundreds of Palestinians, including women and children, have died.


On Saturday, the Gaza Civil Defense warned of the inability of its teams to respond to the numerous calls for help they had received from the north of the Palestinian territory due to the attacks and the siege of hospitals, such as Kamal Adwan, where 44 health professionals were detained.


"We are unable to respond to the multiple calls and requests we have received from homes that have been bombed and burned by Israeli forces in the towns of Jabalia and Al Nazla in northern Gaza," the organization's spokesman, Mahmud Basal, warned on the Telegram messaging service.


The director-general of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, denounced on Saturday on the social network X that "the situation in northern Gaza is catastrophic", and said that "intense military operations" near and inside hospitals, as well as the lack of resources, are depriving Gazans of vital medical care.
