Israeli regime has resumed deadly strikes on the Lebanese capital Beirut after the Hezbollah fighters ambush imposed a humiliating defeat to the regime forces along southern borders.

Israeli warplanes targeted the Islamic Health Commission’s center in the Bashoura neighborhood in central Beirut with phosphorous bombs in early Thursday, killing at least six people and wounding 11 others.

The aircraft also targeted residential buildings in the Dahiyeh neighborhood in the capital's southern suburbs with several strikes. Local sources reported that smoke covered the area in the aftermath of the strikes, while an acidic smell could be felt in the air.

Al-Hadath, the “American” neighborhood, Shiyah, Saint Thérèse, the Kafaat intersection, Haret Hreik, and Burj al-Barajneh were other areas of southern Beirut, which came under a reported number of 17 airstrikes that destroyed several residential structures.

New strikes also targeted the Bekaa Valley in eastern Lebanon as well as the vicinity of the country’s border with Syria.

The regime had targeted the country with aerial assaults on Wednesday too, killing as many as 46 people and injuring 85 others, according to the country’s health ministry.

Also on Wednesday, Hezbollah conducted numerous retaliatory operations against the northern parts of the occupied Palestinian territories. The retaliation targeted the Israeli military’s Shoumera and Zarit barracks and Amiad base, the regime’s Shtula, Misgav Am, Avivim, Adamit, Neve Ziv, Abirim, Ya'ara, and Rosh Pinna settlements, the cities of Haifa, Kiryat Shmona, and Nahariyya, and the town of Metulla.

Throughout Tuesday and Wednesday, Hezbollah’s fighters repelled infiltration attempts by the regime’s ground forces into southern Lebanon too, trapping the invading troops in several ambushes, killing at least 14 of them, and destroying several of their Merkava tanks.

The regime escalated its attacks on Lebanon after launching a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip on October 7.

The escalation has claimed the lives of at least 1,928 Lebanese people, including Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah’s secretary general, who was martyred during intense Israeli raids against Beirut on Friday.
Confirming Nasrallah’s martyrdom, the movement vowed “to continue its struggle against the enemy, supporting Gaza and Palestine, and defending Lebanon and its steadfast, honorable people.”
