Israeli airstrikes results in martydoms of at least 59 individuals throughout Lebanon: Lebanese Ministry of Health

BEIRUT, Nov 16 (SABAH): Israeli airstrikes resulted in the martydoms of at least 59 individuals throughout Lebanon, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Health. In air attack on Beirut, a police station was also destroyed.

Intense Israeli strikes targeted areas of Beirut’s southern suburbs Saturday as the Hezbollah considered its response to a fresh ceasefire proposal.

The strikes marked the fifth straight day of Israeli attacks on the Dayiyeh region of Beirut, a Hezbollah stronghold. Lebanon’s National News Agency said three areas were hit.

Large plumes of smoke were rising from the heavily damaged buildings, according to videos.

The Israel Defense Forces said it had targeted Hezbollah infrastructure, accusing the Iran-backed group of embedding itself within the civilian population. It issued evacuation orders across several locations ahead of the attacks.

Lebanon ceasefire talks intensify as Hezbollah considers new US-Israeli proposal. Israel has intensified its strikes on the capital and expanded its ground operation in southern Lebanon in recent days. The heavy strikes coincide with revived negotiations for a ceasefire in Lebanon.

It remains unclear if the intensified strikes across Lebanon will influence the ceasefire negotiations. Israeli airstrikes resulted in the deaths of at least 59 individuals throughout Lebanon, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Health.
