Evacuation order issued for northern Gaza and strikes continue in Beirut, as Tehran warns against retaliation
and Gaza, as officials issued new threats of a retaliatory strike against Iran ahead of the one-year anniversary of the 7 October Hamas attacks.
Meanwhile, Israeli jets launched airstrikes on the Dahiyeh neighbourhood of southern Beirut in what Lebanon’s National News Agency called the “most severe” bombing of the war. Israeli attacks in the area, which is a stronghold for the Shia militia Hezbollah, have continued at such a high pace that rescue workers have been unable to access the area for days.
Following the attack, Miri Regev, Israel’s transportation minister, wrote that the family of the suspected attacker should be deported from the country. “The time has come for a deterrent punishment that prevents attacks on Israeli territory,” she wrote on X.in Tel Aviv. Hamas claimed the attack, which it called “the heroic Jaffa operation”, and said it was carried out by two Palestinian men from the West Bank town of Hebron.
“The Iranians did not touch the air force’s capabilities – no aircraft was damaged, no squadron was taken out of order,” Gallant said during a visit to the Nevatim airbase. He added: “Whoever thinks that a mere attempt to harm us will deter us from taking action should take a look at in Gaza and Beirut.”
