An Israeli airstrike in the West Bank resulted in the deaths of at least 18 Palestinians, according to the Hamas-controlled health ministry. The strike took place on Thursday in the Tulkarm refugee camp. Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa condemned the event, describing it as a "massacre" on social media, and accused Israel of disregarding international calls for justice.

Israel bombarded south Beirut at least 10 times late Thursday, Lebanese sources said, after it launched its deadliest strike on the occupied West Bank in decades.

Israel's military said Thursday it had hit Hezbollah's intelligence headquarters in the Lebanese capital, as troops battled militants near the border and warplanes bombarded their strongholds around the country.

Israeli strikes last night targeted a Hezbollah emergency center in Beirut, resulting in the deaths of five people, according to Lebanon's health ministry and a source linked to the Lebanese Islamist group. The attack, reported by AFP, is the second to hit the center of the Lebanese capital this week.

Israel carried out a deadly air raid Thursday in central Beirut after eight ground troops were killed near the Lebanese border, as it traded threats with its arch foe Iran over possible future attacks.

Over 240 Hezbollah Rockets Hit Israel Today – 100 Within a Short Time The Israeli military forces reported that more than 240 rockets were launched from Lebanon towards northern Israel on Wednesday. Specifically in the afternoon, a barrage of 70 rockets was recorded towards the western Galilee, which struck away from populated areas.

Iran has warned that it will target “all infrastructure” in Israel if it faces retaliation for the missile attack it carried out yesterday, Tuesday, stated the head of Iran’s General Staff, General Mohammad Bagheri.

Israeli forces have been conducting raids in southern Lebanon for months, finding tunnels of Hezbollah and weapons caches hidden under houses and revealing plans for an invasion by the Shiite group, Israeli army spokesman Daniel Hagari said today.

On Tuesday, the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) initiated targeted ground operations in southern Lebanon, concentrating on Hezbollah's strongholds and key infrastructure. These raids, described as limited and localized, were conducted based on precise intelligence and focused on villages near the border that posed a direct threat to northern Israel.

Israel has informed the U.S. that it plans to conduct a limited-scale ground operation in Lebanon that could begin imminently, an American official told the Washington Post.

The planned operation will be smaller in scale compared to Israel’s last war against Hezbollah in 2006, the official emphasized.
