Despite reports of an impending ceasefire, fighting between Hezbollah and Israel continues with increasing violence.
Israeli army Arabic speaking spokesperson, Avichay Adrae, issued an evacuation warning to residents in Beirut’s southern suburb, the first of the day. Adrae pinpointed buildings in Burj a-Brajneh and Tahwitat al-Ghadir. An hour later, a series of very violent raids hit the area.

Israel carried out a series of attacks on Tuesday morning, targeting the southern Lebanese towns of Hanine, Bint Jbeil, Tiri, Ainata and Kounine. One person was killed in Yuhmur al-Shaqif, in an air-raid destroying a house and a commercial center.
On Tuesday, teams from Civil Defense, medical ambulances and the Lebanese Red Cross resumed their search for missing persons in buildings destroyed during Israeli raids in Tyre.
Moreover, Israeli troops are still moving around in border communities and conducting raids and artillery firing in the areas of Khiam, Ainata, Kounine, Bint Jbeil, al-Tiri, Hanine, and Rshaf since Monday night.
Overnight, a violent airstrike hit the town of Khiam with fragmentation bombs. Two deaths were also reported in another airstrike targeting Nabatieh.
In Israel, the threat of rockets and drones persists
According to Israeli media, events are to be cancelled and the majority of schools are to remain closed in the Golan Heights and northern border settlements.
Authorities fear Hezbollah may step up its attacks before the anticipated ceasefire announcement.
In this context, the Israeli Channel 13 announced, on Tuesday, that the army is preparing for Hezbollah’s “last rocket bursts before the implementation of the ceasefire agreement.”
Furthermore, Israeli media revealed that the ceasefire will be on track tomorrow Wednesday at 6:00 AM. The Israeli daily, Yedioth Ahronoth stated that there is “hardly any intact building on the border towns with Lebanon,” indicating that “most homes require repair or demolishing.”
