An Israel i strike targeted the Sfeir neighbourhood in Beirut's southern suburbs on Sunday.Defence Minister Yoav Gallant says anyone who wishes to harm Israel should consider the action taken by the country in Gaza and Beirut.
On Tuesday, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps fired some 200 missiles at Israel in retaliation after the leaders of groups allied to Tehran were killed in attacks. It was also in retaliation for the killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh on July 31 in Tehran in an attack widely blamed on Israel. The AFP new agency is reporting that Hezbollah said its fighters had pushed away Israeli troops that attempted to storm a Lebanese border village early on Sunday, in the latest clashes after Israel announced ground operations earlier this week.
The strikes came after days of Israeli bombing of Beirut suburbs considered strongholds for Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah, killing its leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, and possibly his potential successor.Twenty-five people were killed and 127 wounded in Israeli strikes on Lebanon on Friday, the Lebanese health ministry said in a statement on Saturday.
