After breaking the back of Hamas in Gaza, the Israeli army is wreaking havoc in Lebanon, the stronghold of Hezbollah. After turning Gaza into a crematorium, Lebanon is also the target of the Israeli army. In the latest attack, the Israeli army carried out an airstrike near a hospital in Beirut and killed 18 people. In the great war that started on September 23, the Israeli army has killed at least 1552 people in Lebanon within the last 30 days. This is not an official figure, as deaths are occurring every day in Lebanon, so the number may increase.
Israel continued bombing Lebanon on Tuesday, according to state media. The death toll in Lebanon has risen to 1,552, adding 18 people were killed in an airstrike near a hospital in Beirut, according to health ministry data. This death toll is from the war between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon since September 23. However, due to differences in data, the actual number is likely to be higher.
Beirut shaken by air strikes, dead bodies everywhere
Lebanon's national news agency said four of the attacks took place in Beirut's southern suburbs. This is the stronghold of Hezbollah. AFP footage showed plumes of smoke rising from the area. Photographs show Israeli strikes in Beirut have demolished an 11-storey apartment complex. Hezbollah had to cut short its press conference due to the attacks. The Israeli army has issued orders to evacuate the area.
Situation like Gaza in Lebanon
The Lebanese Red Cross said the airstrikes leveled dozens of residential buildings, shops and cafes in “less than 30 seconds”. The Health Ministry called it the heaviest Israeli bombardment of the city since the beginning of the war. Israeli forces also bombed al-Housh in the south. Tuesday's bombing follows heavy shelling the previous day, which left a total of 63 people dead.
The ministry said 18 people were killed in the attack near a hospital in Beirut on Monday, including four children. The health ministry said the attack took place near Rafic Hariri Hospital, Lebanon's largest public health centre, in Jannah, a few kilometers from the city centre. 60 other people were injured in this attack. The hospital director said the hospital suffered minor damage due to the attack, with windows broken and solar panels destroyed.
