Israel targeted shopping malls and shops in Beirut late Saturday night.
Israel attacked 2 towns on Saturday. One of these, Barja, is 32 kilometers from Beirut, where a mostly Sunni population lives.
Four people were killed here in the Israeli attack. Hezbollah is an organization of Shias, hence Israel had till now targeted Shia areas in the Lebanon war. According to American media house CNN, this is the first time an attack on a Sunni town has taken place.
At the same time, 5 people have died in an Israeli attack in Maysara in northern Lebanon. On the other hand, Israel has claimed that Hezbollah fired 300 projectiles (small missiles) at them on Saturday.
Lebanese soldiers have been deployed in the Sunni town of Barja in Lebanon after the Israeli strike.
Claim-Hamas wanted to attack Israel along with Iran The attack on Israel by Hamas on October 7 last year was planned two years ago in 2022. Hamas had also appealed to Iran and Hezbollah to support the attack.
American media house New York Times has made this disclosure on the basis of documents of Hamas meeting in the hands of Israeli Army. NYT has claimed that they have received information about 10 meetings of Hamas.
One of these meetings was held between Iranian commander Mohammad Saeed Izadi and senior officials of Hamas and Hezbollah. It has been claimed that Hamas had asked Izadi and Hezbollah to cooperate in attacking important Israeli targets.
On this, Izadi and Hezbollah had said that they support the objective of attacking Israel but it will take time to create an environment for the attack. Iran and Hezbollah have rejected these allegations. Iran has said that there is no truth in these documents. He had no information about Hamas's planning for the October 7 attack.
