Israel puts Beirut under back-to-back assaults as Hezbollah says Netanyahu won’t succeed
The Israeli regime has taken the southern suburbs of Lebanon’s capital Beirut, including the Dhahiyeh neighborhood, under ongoing back-to-back aerial assaults.
The regime began the assaults on Monday after issuing several so-called short-notices in the areas, which were about to come under attack.
The aggression came two days after the regime claimed the lives of at least 84 people and injured a total of 213 others across Beirut, the Bekaa Valley, to the east of the capital, and areas lying in southern Lebanon.
The regime has killed 3,754 Lebanese people and wounded 15,626 others since last October, when it significantly ramped up its deadly attacks against the country.
Also on Monday, however, the vice president of the Political Council of the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah, Mahmoud Qamati, spoke to the Qatar-based al-Araby television channel, asserting that the resistance “will not allow the enemy to settle on any part of the Lebanese land.”
“[Israeli prime minister Benjamin] Netanyahu will not be able to impose his conditions through fire,” he added.
“Today's attacks are proof of that,” the resistance official noted, referring to Hezbollah’s successive strikes a day earlier against numerous targets across the occupied Palestinian territories, including the cities of Tel Aviv, Haifa, Safad, and Akka.
The movement said by conducting the operations, it has broken the record of the number of strikes that it had carried out against the regime since October 7, 2023, when it began defending the Lebanese soil against escalated deadly aggression by the regime.
"Fifty-one operations were executed, a record number, surpassing the record of 48 a month ago,” various resistance media outlets said of the strikes.
The attacks “are a translation of the equation of bombing Tel Aviv in exchange for bombing Beirut,” Qamati stated.
He, meanwhile, said the United States did not qualify to act as a mediator intervening towards ending the Israeli aggression against Lebanon.
Washington, the official added, was “rather a partner in the aggression. The weapons that killed the Palestinian and Lebanese people are the American weapons.”
“The enemy wants to achieve certain goals, but we do not exaggerate our optimism about reaching an agreement. We are cautious because we have the experience of the enemy in Gaza before us.”
