Location at a glance: Israeli air raid in Lebanon – Un: Panic in Gaza

The Israeli Air Force has attacked the Hisbollah in a suburb of the Lebanese capital Beirut for the second time since the ceasefire came into force. The goal of the nightly attack was a terrorist of the proiran militia, the army said. According to unconfirmed Arabic reports, a residential building was hit. According to the Lebanese Ministry of Health, three people were killed. Meanwhile, Israel’s military continues against the Hamas allied with the Hezbollah militia.

It was the second air raid in the suburbs of Beirut, known as Dahija since the ceasefire came into force between Israel and the Hisbollah in November. The area is a stronghold of the Proiran militia. The HISBOLLAH member who declared the goal of the army to the goal of the renewed attack had supported members of the Islamist Hamas in planning the impending attack against Israeli civilians. The man had portrayed a direct threat and was “eliminated”, it said.

Both the Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and Prime Minister Nauaf Salam expressed the attack sharply. A member of the Hisbollah accused Israel of declaring the end of the ceasefire with repeated violations. The attack is a “massive aggression” and conducts the situation in “a new phase”, the MP was quoted by the TV station Al-Majadin. The Lebanese state must act and activate the highest level of diplomacy to find solutions. “We are not a fanatic of the war,” said the Hisbollah representative.

Just a few days ago, Israel’s Air Force in Dahija had attacked a militia drone warehouse. Shortly before, the Israeli army had reported rocket fire from Lebanon. The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu then said, according to a message from his office, that the ceasefire would be enforced. “We will attack everywhere in Lebanon when the state of Israel is threatened,” it said.

Hisbollah, supported by Iran, had shot down with rockets for more than a year since the beginning of the war in the Gaza Strip in October 2023. According to her own statements, she wanted to support Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Israel replied with air strikes and a soil offensive.

UN aid work: panic after the escape call in Rafah

In the meantime, the Israeli military expands its ground attacks in Rafah in the south of the competitive Gaza Strip. Because of impending “intensive missions”, the residents of the majority of the city were called for flight on Monday. According to the UN Palestinian aid work, this sparked panic. “People are treated with constant military commands like pinball balls,” complained Unrwa boss Philippe Lazzarini on X.

Lazzarini wrote with the fate and life of the people. “This leads to panic, fear and uncertainty on the first day of the sugar festival, a time when you are actually with your family and his loved ones”. The Israeli army was called up to flee during the Eid al-Fitr, a Muslim holiday that marks the end of the fasting month of Ramadan. According to Lazzarini, more than 140,000 people were affected by the Israeli military’s evacuation order.

The residents in the Rafah area and neighboring places should go to Al-Mawasi immediately, it said in the army, published in Arabic. The “intensive missions” in the affected areas would be resumed to act against terrorist organizations.

The area around Al-Mawasi in the southwest was shown as a humanitarian zone during the war. In the past, the Israeli military had also attacked several times there. According to army information, the aim of the Islamist Hamas was, for example.

“Where should people go?” Determined the Unrwa boss. The coastal area is “sealed off like a cage” and “is bombarded by all sides”. After a ceasefire agreement came into force on January 19, many displaced people in Gaza had returned to their home in Gaza.

In mid -March, Israel resumed the massive attacks in the coastal area after both sides could not agree on an extension of the fire break. Since then, Israel’s army has also started using the Hamas in Rafah. According to the Israeli army, the aim of the new soil offensive is to build a buffer zone along the borders of the coastal area.

Talks about new ceasefire

Israel and Hamas are currently negotiating a new ceasefire in indirect conversations. However, it is still controversial how many Israeli hostages should be released. Israel’s Prime Minister Netanyahu announced a further reinforcement of the attacks on the Islamists in Gaza on Sunday.

Only the combination of military and diplomatic pressure can bring the hostages back. Relatives of the hostages had repeatedly warned, the new beginning of the war endangered the life of their relatives. According to Israeli information, 24 hostages from Israel are recorded in the Gaza Strip, plus the remains of 35 kidnapped.

The war was triggered by the attack by Hamas and other extremist groups in southern Israel on October 7, 2023, in which around 1,200 people were killed and more than 250 others were dragged to Gaza as hostages. In the course of the war, more than 50,000 people were killed, according to the health authorities controlled by Hamas. One third of it is therefore children and adolescents. The information cannot be checked independently. However, international organizations such as the UN consider them largely credible.
