IDF hits Hezbollah sites in Syria, warns Baalbek
[IsraelTimes] The IDF issued warnings for a second day running to residents of northeast Leb
Leb

...an Iranian satrapy until recently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...

s on Hezbollah sites.

"You are in a combat zone where the IDF intends to attack and target Hezbollah infrastructure, assets, installations and weapons, and does not intend to harm you," Col. Avichay Adraee said on X, attaching a map of the areas that will be targeted.

Dozens of cars could be seen speeding out of the area after Thursday’s warning, with wafts of black smoke still visible emanating from the town of Douris, where an Israeli strike the previous day destroyed Hezbollah fuel stocks, according to the Israeli military and a Lebanese security source.

Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency reported a strike on a cycle of violence rider in the Beqaa Valley, where Baalbek is located. A Lebanese security source told AFP that one person was killed by an Israeli dronezap on the Araya-Kahhale road, which links the capital Beirut to the eastern Beqaa Valley. The dronezap targeted a car, killing the driver, the source said, without identifying the victim.

Thousands fleeing the violence in Baalbek have sought shelter in the nearby Christian-majority town of Deir al-Ahmar, where local official Jean Fakhry said authorities were struggling to cover even a fraction of their needs and some people had to spend the night in their cars.

"We cannot continue this way," Fakhry said.

The killing of six Lebanese health workers and wounding of four others in three separate strikes across south Lebanon on Thursday brought the total toll of health workers killed and maimed in over a year of Israeli strikes to 178 and 279 respectively, the Lebanese health ministry said.

Are we quite, quite sure that none of the Lebanese health workers were not also on the Hezbollah payroll… or just catching a ride in an ambulance, like Hamas is wont to do?

The army also announced strikes on sites belonged to Hezbollah’s elite Radwan Force and the terror group’s armament unit in Syria’s al-Qusayr region, near Lebanon’s northern border. The armament unit is responsible for storing weapons in Lebanon, and according to the IDF, it recently expanded its activities to Syria, where it stored weapons in al-Qusayr.

Elsewhere in Lebanon, an Israeli dronezap hit a cycle of violence

near the coastal town of Naqoura, NNA reported.

The IDF said on Thursday that the commander of a Hezbollah anti-tank guided missile unit had been killed in a recent airstrike. According to the IDF, a strike carried out by fighter jets this week in the southern Lebanon village of Burj Qallawiyah killed Muhammad Khalil Alian. Alian was the commander of Hezbollah’s anti-tank array in the Hajjar regional unit, which is responsible for attacks on northern Israel’s Ramim Ridge region.

Meanwhile,
...back at the railroad tracks, Little Nell tried to kick her bound feet and scream post the snotty handkerchief Scarface Al had stuff into her mouth...
the IDF said a Wednesday dronezap in Mazraat al-Yahoudiyeh, just north of Tyre, killed a cell of Hezbollah members who launched a missile at an Israeli Air Force unmanned aerial vehicle, adding that the UAV was not harmed in the incident.

“Missed me! Missed me! Now ya gotta kiss me!”

The IAF released footage of the dronezap.

The strikes were carried out in tandem with the ongoing ground campaign in southern Lebanon, where the IDF’s 91st and 146th divisions are continuing to operate against Hezbollah.

Israeli attacks kill 45 in Lebanon in last 24 hours, health ministry says
[IsraelTimes] Israeli attacks killed 45 people in Lebanon in the past 24 hours, bringing the total death toll to 2,865 since October 2023, the Lebanese health ministry says, without differentiating between civilians and combatants.

Lebanon’s official news agency says at least 10 strikes hit south Beirut
[IsraelTimes] At least 10 strikes hit Beirut’s southern suburbs at dawn, Lebanon’s official news agency says, after the Israeli army issued evacuation orders for buildings in the area.

AFPTV footage shows explosions followed by clouds of smoke that rang out in the city’s suburbs after the Israeli army ordered several buildings in Hezbollah’s stronghold to evacuate.

“The raids left massive destruction in the targeted areas, as dozens of buildings were leveled to the ground, in addition to the outbreak of fires,” the National News Agency (NNA) says.

Israeli warplanes carried out 10 raids targeting the suburban areas of Ghobeiry and Al-Kafaat, the Sayyed Hadi Highway, the vicinity of the Al-Mujtaba Complex, and the old airport road, it adds.
