Israel wages 145 attacks on Lebanon in one day
The Israeli military has carried out 145 attacks on Lebanon in the past 24 hours as it intensifies its bombing campaign on the Arab country in defiance of international calls to stop its killing machine in the region.
In a report published on Sunday, Lebanese Minister of Environment Nasser Yassin said that most of the raids by the occupying regime had targeted Southern Lebanon, comprising the South and Nabatiyeh governorates.
The report also said that there have been a total of 13,222 attacks since the beginning of Israel’s offensive against Lebanon over the past 13 months.

Meanwhile, Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA) reported that Israeli warplanes had destroyed a 12-storey residential building in the suburb of Chiyah, south of the capital Beirut.
It also reported violent Israeli airstrikes on Beirut’s Burj al-Barajneh and Hadath neighborhoods.
The aerial assault on Hadath hit the vicinity of Saint George Hospital, the report added.
The Israeli attacks came after Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement conducted successful retaliatory operations against five major Israeli military bases in the city of Haifa and its vicinity in the northern part of the occupied Palestinian territories.
Hezbollah opened a “support front” on October 8 last year in response to the Israeli regime’s genocidal war against the Gaza Strip which was launched a day before.
The Lebanese resistance movement has been carrying out daily operations in the regions north of the Israeli-occupied territories.
Since September 23, the Israeli army has been launching unprecedented air attacks on Lebanon in a dangerous escalation with Hezbollah.
In late September, the regime assassinated Hezbollah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah. Since then, the resistance group has increased its retaliatory attacks against Israeli targets and vowed to continue its fight in support of Gaza and Palestine, and in defense of Lebanon.
At least 3,452 people have been killed and 14,664 others injured in Israeli assaults on Lebanon so far, according to the country’s health ministry.
