On October 4, 2024, a significant airstrike in Central Beirut has been reported, coinciding with fierce fighting along the Lebanese-Israeli border. Israel's military announced that it had killed 15 Hezbollah militants in southern Lebanon as the Iran-aligned group claimed to have repelled an Israeli advance.
This week, Israeli troops initiated ground operations in southern Lebanon, a region heavily influenced by Hezbollah, following several days of intense bombardment. The ongoing conflict has resulted in over 1,000 casualties and forced hundreds of thousands to flee, exacerbating an already dire economic and political crisis in Lebanon.
Israel has been engaged in warfare in Gaza since the Hamas attack on October 7, redirecting its focus to secure its northern border and facilitate the return of more than 60,000 displaced individuals due to Hezbollah assaults over the past year.
In a related development, Israel urged residents to evacuate more than 20 villages and the city of Nabatiyeh. Hezbollah reported that it successfully thwarted an Israeli effort to advance at Fatima's Gate along the border and conducted cross-border strikes, including launching rockets into Tiberias.
The airstrike in downtown Beirut targeted a Hezbollah emergency rescue facility, resulting in the deaths of seven workers. Following the death of eight Israeli soldiers in combat near the border, Israel has claimed responsibility for hitting 200 Hezbollah targets within Lebanese territory.
As tensions rise, Iranian officials have indicated a willingness to escalate their response if Israel continues its counterattacks. President Joe Biden expressed full support for Israel but excluded any backing for strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.
中央貝魯特在激烈邊境衝突中遭襲
2024年10月4日，中央貝魯特報告了一次重大空襲，正值黎以邊境的激烈戰鬥。以色列軍方宣布已在南黎巴嫩擊斃15名真主黨武裝分子，而這個受伊朗支持的組織則聲稱成功阻止了以色列的進攻。
本週，以色列部隊在南黎巴嫩啟動了地面行動，該地區深受真主黨影響，此前經歷了數天的猛烈轟炸。持續的衝突已造成超過1,000人死亡，並迫使數十萬人逃離，加劇了黎巴嫩本已嚴重的經濟和政治危機。
自哈馬斯在10月7日的襲擊以來，以色列一直參與加沙地帶的戰爭，並將注意力轉向保護北部邊界，並促進超過60,000名因真主黨襲擊而流離失所的居民回家。
在相關發展中，以色列呼籲居民撤離超過20個村莊和納巴提耶市。真主黨報告稱，他們成功阻止了以色列在邊界的法蒂瑪門進攻，並進行了跨境襲擊，包括向提比里亞發射火箭。
此次在貝魯特市中心的空襲針對一個真主黨的緊急救援設施，導致7名工作人員喪生。在邊境附近8名以色列士兵被殺後，以色列聲稱已在黎巴嫩境內打擊了200個真主黨目標。
隨著緊張局勢上升，伊朗官員表示若以色列繼續反擊，他們願意加強回應。美國總統拜登表示全力支持以色列，但排除了對伊朗核設施的攻擊支持。
