Attacks expanded
Israel “eliminates” another Hezbollah commander
The Israeli military says it has killed another senior representative of the Iranian-backed radical Islamic Hezbollah militia in Lebanon. Israel also confirmed an expansion of the ground offensive.
In an attack in the Beirut area, the commander of the Hezbollah headquarters, Suhail Hussein Husseini, was eliminated, according to an army statement on Tuesday.
High-ranking Hezbollah members eliminated
Israel had already killed several high-ranking representatives of the Islamist militia in targeted attacks in recent days. The most prominent was probably Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah's number one. A few days later, his designated successor Hashim Safieddine probably suffered the same fate, although Israel has not yet confirmed this.
In view of the increasing fighting between Israel and Hezbollah, China will deliver urgently needed medical supplies to Lebanon. "At the request of the Lebanese government, the Chinese government has decided to provide Lebanon with urgently needed medical supplies to support the country's medical care," the Chinese International Development Cooperation Agency announced.
Israel expands operation to southern Lebanon
The Israeli army recently increased its troop strength in Lebanon, according to its own statements. As the army announced on Monday, a further division was deployed to take part in operations against Hezbollah targets in Lebanon. The soldiers of the 91st Division began "localized and targeted operations in southern Lebanon". It is the third group of troops in divisional strength to be deployed against Hezbollah.
On Tuesday, it was confirmed that parts of the Israeli Carmeli and Iron Fist Brigades had taken action against Hezbollah's terrorist infrastructure.
The Israeli army urged the population of Lebanon to stay away from the Mediterranean coast from the Awali River southwards. The warning, issued in Arabic, concerned both beaches and boats. The Awali River flows into the Mediterranean about halfway between Beirut and the Israeli-Lebanese border.
