Israel Attacks Lebanon, Six Dead

Beirut. Israel also attacked Lebanon on Wednesday. AFP confirmed that 6 people were killed in the attack, citing medical sources.

Meanwhile, the Israeli army said it had stopped a fighter jet that entered Israeli territory from Lebanon. Citing that Hezbollah has fired missiles targeting Israeli communities in the north, Israeli officials have warned of retaliation by the Israeli army attacking southern suburbs of Beirut.

The militant group Hezbollah has not claimed any attack in northern Israel immediately. Israeli and Lebanese diplomatic officials have indicated that preparations are underway for direct talks in Washington on Wednesday as the fourth phase of the ceasefire talks that began in March.

The National News Agency (NNA) reported that Israel attacked a car on Khaldeh Street in the southern part of the capital. Ambulances were seen rushing to the scene of the incident on the main highway connecting Beirut with the southern region.

NNA reported that about 20 places in the south of the country were attacked on Wednesday, while the Israeli army has warned residents of many villages in southern Lebanon to evacuate before the attack.

Citing a medical source in Tyre, southern Lebanon, AFP reported that six people, including four Syrian citizens and two Palestinians, were killed in two Israeli attacks in the Al-Hawsh area near the coastal city on Wednesday.

On Tuesday, the Israeli army issued a statement accusing some Hezbollah members of working in the Christian Quarter of Tyre and warned that if the group remained there, local people would be ordered to move to a safe place elsewhere.

The picturesque coastal district has so far been spared from Israeli army evacuation warnings and attacks targeting the city of Tyre and its surroundings.

AFP reported that the situation in Tyre was relatively calm on Wednesday, and some people sleeping in various cars and refugee camps near the Christian Quarter had moved to other nearby parts of the city following the evacuation order issued by the Israeli army.

The city's mayor, along with intelligence officers of the Lebanese army and a Christian religious figure, visited the area on Tuesday with the aim of consoling and reassuring local residents.

It is reported that in recent times, the number of battles and Israeli attacks has increased significantly following the continuous land occupation and attacks by the Israeli army in various areas of Lebanon.
