Intense Israeli shelling and airstrikes continued on Sunday, particularly on the southern suburbs of Beirut and various towns in southern Lebanon, leading to casualties and widespread destruction.
An Israeli drone struck a motorcycle in Jdeidet Marjayoun, southern Lebanon, killing the driver instantly and injuring a lady who was passing by. As the second individual on the motorcycle attempted to flee into a nearby building, local youth gathered to assist the injured.
However, a subsequent drone strike resulted in the death of the motorcyclist and injuries to an Internal Security Forces officer and another civilian, both of whom were transferred to a hospital in Nabatiyeh. A third victim from the town of Debbin, whose identity remains unknown, was also reported dead.
Israeli artillery shelled several towns in southern Lebanon, including Mays al-Jabal, Braashit, Aitaroun, Beit Yahoun, Adchit, Shaqra, Arnoun, Majdal Selm, and Qabrikha.
The Israelis demolished a mosque in the town of Yaroun. A video circulated showing the mosque's complete destruction. Israeli forces have reportedly entered the outskirts of the town but have not advanced further.
Airstrikes targeted the area between Debbin and Marjayoun, leading to injuries.
Wreckage from an Israeli drone was discovered between the outskirts of Yanta and Madoukha in the Rashaya District, prompting army intelligence and security agencies to cordon off the area for investigation.
In the Marjayoun district, artillery shelling persisted in Kfar Kila and the outskirts of Bourj al-Molouk, while reconnaissance drones surveyed the region.
Attacks on the Beqaa
Intensive drone activity was reported over the villages of Western Beqaa. Israeli airstrikes targeted Doures, Ali al-Nahri, and Qaliyya in central Beqaa, as well as a building near the Maronite National School at the entrance of Baalbeck. Airstrikes also occurred just 600 meters from the Baalbeck citadel.
Hezbollah Response
In response to the Israeli assaults, Hezbollah announced that its fighters targeted an Israeli Army unit attempting to infiltrate Khallat Shaib in Blida, causing injuries and forcing a retreat.
Hezbollah claimed responsibility for an aerial attack on the 7200 maintenance and repair base south of Haifa, stating it hit its targets accurately.
Additionally, they targeted Israeli forces evacuating wounded soldiers in the Menara settlement and bombed Israeli Army gatherings in Margalit, Khilat Shaib, and Baram.
The Israeli military reported detecting approximately 40 rockets launched from Lebanon toward northern Israel since midnight, triggering air raid sirens in border areas such as Metula, Caesarea, Hadera, and Haifa. Israeli radio reported shrapnel falling in five locations due to the interception of two ballistic missiles, while rocket fire was also directed at Katzrin in the Golan Heights.
