Die Hisbollah-Miliz hat Kämpfe gegen israelische Armee-Helikopter im Osten des Libanon vermeldet. Rund 16 israelische Hubschrauber seien über die Grenze zu Syrien in den libanesischen Luftraum eingedrungen, erklärte die Miliz.

Overview

  • Israeli strikes targeted southern Beirut neighborhoods, with the military naming branches of the Hezbollah-linked Al-Kard Al-Hassan financial network; authorities reported one death and urged evacuations.
  • Hezbollah said its fighters shot down an Israeli helicopter in the Bekaa and engaged Israeli troops near the border towns of Odaisseh and Aitarun, while the IDF did not comment on the helicopter claim.
  • The group claimed at least ten attacks on Israel, including a rocket strike on a Haifa airbase, and the Israeli army reported two soldiers killed in recent fighting in southern Lebanon.
  • Lebanese officials reported at least 394 people killed, including 83 children, and registered 517,000 internally displaced in Beirut as cross-border strikes continued.
  • Parliament extended its term and delayed the May vote by two years due to the conflict, and Human Rights Watch accused Israel of using white phosphorus in populated areas in southern Lebanon.
