Hezbollah later said it also rained missiles on the Israeli air force’s “technical base” in the northern coastal city of Haifa.

Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon have been at war since September 23, when Israel stepped up cross-border airstrikes after a year of tit-for-tat fighting.

A week later he sent ground troops for “targeted raids.”

Hezbollah He said he was acting in support of Palestinian militant Hamas, whose unprecedented attack on Israel on October 7 last year triggered the ongoing war in Gaza.

“The Israeli enemy’s raid on Haret Saida initially resulted in three deaths and nine injuries,” Lebanon’s health ministry said, referring to a densely populated area near Sidon.

Lebanon’s official National News Agency (NNA) reported another Israeli attack on the town of Ghaziyeh, south of Sidon. An AFP correspondent said a child was rescued from the rubble of a residential building.

NNA said other Israeli attacks were carried out near a hospital in the town of Tebnine in Lebanon’s southern Bint Jbeil region.

The health ministry said the hospital suffered “severe damage” and seven people were injured.

There were no evacuation warnings before the Haret Saida attack or the attacks in southern Lebanon.

The health ministry also said two rescue workers from Hezbollah’s Islamic Health Committee were killed in an attack near Tire.

Heavy air strikes

The Israeli army has issued a warning for Lebanon’s eastern Baalbek region, stating that Hezbollah-linked facilities will be attacked.

An AFP correspondent later reported that there had been at least three attacks on the Baalbek region, which is dominated by Hezbollah and has been subjected to heavy air strikes in the past few days.

Also Sunday, NNA reported that five of 21 bodies buried under rubble for nearly a week in the southern flashpoint town of Khiam had been recovered.

On Sunday, Hezbollah released an undated video of an underground facility called “Imad 5” showing the hatch opening and a missile pointing skyward.

The warriors are also seen passing through an underground tunnel carved into the rock.

The war has killed more than 1,940 people in Lebanon since September 23, according to an AFP count based on Lebanese health ministry figures.

The Israeli army announced that 38 soldiers have been killed since it started ground operations in Lebanon.

Iran and Israel have also attacked each other directly, raising fears of a wider conflict.

But Iranian President Massoud Pezeshkian said on Sunday that a possible ceasefire with allies Hamas and Hezbollah “could affect the intensity and type of our response.”

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the Islamic republic’s religious leader, warned Israel and the United States on Saturday that they would “definitely receive a teeth-breaking response.”

Israel warned Iran not to respond to the October 26 attack.

Sacks of flour

In Gaza, the Israeli military once again reported “dozens” of militants killed in the northern Jabaliya region, where it has carried out a massive air and ground offensive since October 6 to stop Hamas from regrouping.

Rescue teams and medical officials in Gaza said that at least 30 people were killed across the region in Israeli attacks on Gaza on Sunday.

In central Gaza, people gathered to collect sacks of flour from the distribution point of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) in Deir al-Balah.

Last Monday, the Israeli Parliament banned UNRWA, the main aid agency in Gaza, from operating in Israel and its annexed East Jerusalem, despite international objections.

Experts say that if the ban is implemented, it will negatively affect humanitarian work in Gaza.

This statement came after the United States warned Israel on October 15 that it could halt billions of dollars of military aid to Gaza unless it improved aid distribution to Gaza within 30 days.

Also on Sunday, relatives at Al Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah mourned the death of a father and son killed during Israeli shelling.

Hamas’ attack on Israel on October 7 resulted in the deaths of 1,206 people, most of them civilians, according to AFP’s calculation based on official Israeli figures.

Israel’s military intervention against Hamas has killed 43,341 people in Gaza, mostly civilians, according to figures from the health ministry of the Hamas-ruled region and deemed reliable by the United Nations.
