An earlier attack on a municipal building near Bint Jbeil killed at least 10 Lebanese firefighters, the latest of dozens of first responders killed in recent weeks, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health.<\/p>\n<p>Israel also said it would soon launch operations on Lebanon\u2019s southern coast, telling residents to stay off the beaches and the sea for a 60-kilometre (36-mile) stretch along the Mediterranean<\/p>\n<p>Hezbollah said it launched series of rocket attacks on northern Israel, including near the port city of Haifa \u201cwith a large rocket salvo\u201d and on Israeli military positions. Later, the group said it targeted areas north of Haifa with another round of rockets.<\/p>\n<p>At least 10 people were wounded in the initial attack on Haifa. It was the first time the port city has been hit since Israel and Hezbollah began trading fire in October last year.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement, the Israeli army said about 135 rockets fired by Hezbollah had crossed from Lebanon into Israeli territory as of 5pm (14:00 GMT).<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, Israel carried out more than 30 strikes on Beirut\u2019s southern suburbs overnight, the heaviest bombardment since September 23, the day Israel began a significant escalation in its assault on Lebanon, the country\u2019s official news agency NNA said.<\/p>\n<p>The targets included a petrol station on the main highway leading to the Beirut airport and a warehouse for medical supplies, the agency reported.<\/p>\n<p>Hezbollah also said it targeted Israeli troops in two border villages in southern Lebanon. The Lebanese group said its fighters \u201cbombed \u2026 a gathering of Israeli forces\u201d in Maroun al-Ras with \u201ca rocket salvo\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The Lebanese group has reported several clashes in the Maroun al-Ras area over the past several days since Israel said it had begun \u201ctargeted\u201d ground raids in the area.<\/p>\n<p>Hezbollah later said its fighters \u201cbombed \u2026 a gathering of Israeli enemy forces\u201d in the nearby village of Blida \u201cwith a barrage of rockets and artillery shells\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The Israeli military said two Israeli soldiers were killed in border-area combat, taking Israel\u2019s military death toll inside Lebanon so far to 11. It also announced it had deployed another division to participate in operations in Lebanon.<\/p>\n<p>Lebanese health authorities say a year of Israeli attacks on the country had killed at least 2,083 people and wounded 9,869.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"major-displacement-crisis\">\u2018Major displacement crisis\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>More than 1 million people have been displaced, mostly from towns and villages in southern Lebanon, according to local authorities.<\/p>\n<p>United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi said Lebanon is seeing a \u201cmajor displacement crisis\u201d as a result of Israel\u2019s escalating air campaign and some of the strikes have violated international law.<\/p>\n<p>Grandi made his remarks during a visit to Beirut on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>The UN has appealed for $425.7m to respond to the humanitarian crisis. About 40 percent has been funded so far.<\/p>\n<p>Grandi also said there had been \u201cmany instances of violations of international humanitarian law in the way the air strikes have been conducted that have destroyed or damaged civilian infrastructure\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Two people working for Grandi\u2019s agency have also been killed in the strikes.<\/p>\n<p>Grandi said an attack that cut access to a major border crossing between Lebanon and Syria last week had also created an obstacle for civilians trying to flee to safety. The escalating violence has pushed both Lebanese citizens and Syrian refugees in Lebanon to cross the border en masse.<\/p>\n<p>The warnings come as the Israeli military ordered people in more than a dozen towns and villages in southern Lebanon to evacuate. Israeli evacuation warnings in recent days have expanded to include a provincial capital.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Israel\u2019s military spokesperson Avichay Adraee in a post on X told residents to immediately flee north, saying, \u201cyou are not allowed to head southward \u2026 Any movement to the south puts your lives at risk\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The latest set of evacuation orders brings the total to 130 towns and villages across southern Lebanon.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a significant chunk of the territory,\u201d Al Jazeera\u2019s Imran Khan, reporting from Hasbaiyya, said. \u201cNow the Lebanese are very concerned about this because they heard reports of the Israeli army massing at its border, including reserve brigades being called up, and they are now looking at the width of these Israeli evacuation orders and wondering what the actual definition of \u2018limited\u2019 is to the Israelis,\u201d Khan said.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, a UN official told The Associated Press news agency the Israeli military is setting up a forward operating base close to a UN peacekeeping mission on the border in southern Lebanon.<\/p>\n<p>The base puts peacekeepers there at risk, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.<\/p>\n<p>The UN peacekeeping mission in southern Lebanon, known as UNIFIL, said in a statement that it was concerned about \u201crecent activities\u201d by the Israeli military southeast of the Lebanese border town of Maroun al-Ras.<\/p>\n<p>It did not give any details on what Israel was doing but said it was close to point 6-52, where Irish peacekeepers are positioned.<\/p>\n<p>This comes days after UNIFIL refused the Israeli military\u2019s request to vacate some of its positions before a ground incursion.<\/p>\n<p>Hezbollah said it ordered its fighters not to attack Israeli troops who recently moved behind the UNIFIL position.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">The group reported \u201cunusual movement of Israeli enemy forces behind a UNIFIL position, on the outskirts of the border village of Maroun al-Ras,\u201d ordering fighters \u201cnot to take action\u2026 to preserve the lives of the peacekeepers\u201d, quoting a field commander in their statement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">The group accused Israel of \u201ctrying to use UNIFIL forces as human shields\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>UNIFIL was created to oversee the withdrawal of Israeli soldiers from southern Lebanon after Israel\u2019s 1978 invasion. The UN expanded its mission after the 2006 war between Israel and Hezbollah, allowing peacekeepers to deploy along the Israeli border.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/2024\/10\/7\/israel-steps-up-lebanon-bombing-as-hezbollah-attacks-haifa\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Israel has expanded attacks on southern Lebanon and pounded the capital Beirut\u2019s southern suburbs as the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah has claimed a series of missile attacks on northern Israel, &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=111631\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-111631","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-world","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/111631","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=111631"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/111631\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=111631"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=111631"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=111631"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
