OREANDA-NEWS The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) is carrying out targeted strikes on Beirut, the army's press service reported on Thursday.
"The IDF is currently carrying out precision strikes on Beirut," the statement said.
On Monday, the General Staff of the Israeli army assigned the name "Arrows of the North" to the offensive operation that began in Lebanon. Since last week, the Israeli Air Force has been carrying out massive strikes against targets of the Lebanese Hezbollah movement in various parts of Lebanon. Several targeted airstrikes on Beirut were also recorded, as a result of which high-ranking Hezbollah commanders were eliminated. To date, the Israeli army has reported strikes on more than 2,000 Hezbollah targets. Observers note that Israel has not attacked Hezbollah with such intensity since the Second Lebanon War in 2006.
More than 90,000 people have already been forced to leave their homes in southern Lebanon due to the escalation of the conflict with Israel, according to a report by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.
Hezbollah responds with rocket attacks mainly on northern Israel, but the range of rocket attacks has increased significantly in recent days. Dozens of volleys are recorded daily in Israeli settlements, during which hits occur in residential buildings, which leads to injuries. In particular, a rocket launch was recorded in the Tel Aviv area, which was shot down by air defense systems.
Tensions are rising amid statements by the Israeli military about preparations for a ground operation in Lebanon.
