In addition to the Nuseirat incident, the Palestinian news agency Wafa reported that Israeli artillery shelled a house belonging to the Samman family in the Jabalia refugee camp. Both Nuseirat and Jabalia are significant locations in the ongoing conflict, with a history of violence and unrest. Israeli forces have consistently bombarded these areas over the past week without warning.
On Friday, Israeli airstrikes intensified, particularly affecting at least 25 towns and villages in the Bekaa Valley. These strikes resulted in at least 52 deaths and injured 72 others. This alarming trend has raised concerns among local officials, who claim that Israel’s actions amount to war crimes. The lack of warning before these attacks, coupled with ineffective evacuation threats, has exacerbated the situation.
Furthermore, historic sites are also at risk. Baalbek, home to a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has been under continuous attack. Many community members and representatives from the United Nations have voiced their alarm, describing the ongoing assault as a catastrophe for the civilian population.
Sign of Retreating
The escalation of violence has led to a tense standoff between Hezbollah and Israeli forces. Both sides show no sign of retreating from the conflict, with Hezbollah asserting its determination to continue fighting. Video footage has surfaced, reportedly showing the Israeli army rigging explosives in a mosque located in the village of ad-Dhahira, near the Israeli border. This incident resulted in significant destruction and marked one of the largest attacks in recent days.
In a related escalation, Hezbollah launched rockets into various locations in northern Israel on Thursday, resulting in the deaths of seven people. This marked one of the deadliest days for Israel amidst the ongoing violence. Despite efforts by U.S. officials to broker a ceasefire with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Lebanese officials, discussions have stalled, showing no signs of progress.
Recent reports confirm that Hezbollah remains committed to its military operations, insisting that it will not seek a ceasefire. The Israeli military reported detecting around 15 rockets fired from Lebanon towards northern Israel in a single hour, with alerts activated in the upper Galilee area. Most rockets were intercepted, but some landed in open areas without causing reported injuries or damage.
As the situation continues to evolve, no updates have emerged regarding plans for a potential ceasefire in the coming days. The ongoing conflict reflects the deepening divide between Hezbollah and Israeli forces, with both sides entrenched in their positions. The humanitarian implications of this escalation are dire, as civilian populations bear the brunt of the violence.
The international community watches closely as the crisis unfolds, calling for immediate dialogue and a resolution to the hostilities that have plagued the region for years.
