The Israeli military said early Saturday it carried out strikes on Hezbollah positions in Beirut. The action followed an evacuation warning for seven areas in the southern suburbs. Residents were told to leave before the attacks began.
There were no immediate reports of casualties after the strikes. However, the situation remains tense across the Lebanese capital. The latest operation shows a rise in military activity linked to Hezbollah in recent weeks.
Israel has increased airstrikes in Lebanon during the third week of its conflict with Hezbollah. The group is backed by Iran, which has also been involved in rising tensions across the region. The conflict has become one of the most serious escalations in recent months.
The Hezbollah-Israel fighting began after Lebanese fighters launched attacks on Israel on March 2. These actions were said to support Iran during its broader conflict with Israel and the United States. Since then, the situation has worsened quickly.
According to reports, more than 1,000 people have been killed in Lebanon. Over one million residents have been displaced due to ongoing strikes and security risks. Many families have been forced to leave their homes and seek shelter in safer areas.
In a separate development, authorities in the United Arab Emirates announced they had dismantled a network linked to Hezbollah. Officials said the group was funded and operated with support from Iran. Several suspects were arrested during the operation.
The network was reportedly involved in money laundering and financing terrorism. Authorities also said it posed a threat to national security. There has been no immediate response from Hezbollah or Iranian officials regarding these claims.
Since late February, Iran has launched missile and drone attacks across the Gulf region. The United Arab Emirates was among the countries heavily targeted. These developments have added to concerns about a wider regional conflict.
