Summary
Israel conducted air strikes on Beirut’s southern suburbs, targeting Hezbollah’s drone production, despite a six-month ceasefire. Lebanese leaders, including Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, condemned the attacks as systematic violations of national security, particularly on the eve of Eid Al Adha. The Israeli military justified the strikes by citing Hezbollah’s drone use against Israel and evacuation warnings were issued to residents in the targeted neighborhoods, causing significant panic and traffic disruption.
