According to the latest reports, at least 492 people have already lost their lives in the series of airstrikes carried out by the Israeli army against Lebanon on Monday. 35 of the victims were children. The number of wounded is almost 1,650 – the Lebanese Ministry of Health reported The Guardian.
Israel has been bombing the southern and eastern areas of Lebanon since the morning, and in the past few hours, new airstrikes have also been carried out against the southern suburbs of Beirut. This is the second time an attack has been launched against the capital this week. In the afternoon, the destruction was extended to the northeastern Bekaa Valley.
Although the civilian death toll from Israeli attacks continues to rise, Lebanon’s Shiite militia, Hezbollah, said its southern front commander, Ali Karaki, was safe, despite earlier reports that he was one of the targets of the airstrikes in the southern suburbs of Beirut. Since the blowing up of pagers, which were partly Hungarian and Bulgarian involvement, probably sent to Hezbollah via Mossad front companies, and the start of the Israeli airstrikes, the people of Lebanon have been panicking, and people are fleeing to the north in large numbers.
Because of what happened, Egypt’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs called on international powers and the UN Security Council to intervene immediately in order to curb the violence. Iraq also plans to bring the case to the UN, and has urged the Arab countries to negotiate at the current meeting in New York. The Turkish Foreign Ministry said in a statement: Israel’s attacks on Lebanon represent a new stage in its efforts to throw the entire region into chaos.
