The Israeli rescue agency has reported that two middle-aged men were killed when a rocket struck a warehouse near the city of Nahariya in northern Israel. A doctor from this agency stated on Tuesday, November 13, that the warehouse was severely damaged and caught fire. He added, "We found two men who were severely injured and unconscious at the scene, and unfortunately, after examinations, it was determined that they had died due to the severity of their injuries." The Israeli army also stated that 10 rockets were fired from Lebanese territory towards northern Israel, with some intercepted and destroyed in the sky, while "others landed in the area." The statement further noted that air raid sirens sounded in central Israel, including Tel Aviv and Ben Gurion Airport, and three of the rockets were intercepted and destroyed. Meanwhile, Israeli airstrikes on Hezbollah positions in Beirut and southern Lebanon continued on Tuesday. The exchange of fire and clashes between Hezbollah and the Israeli army began one day after Hamas attacked Israeli territory on October 6 of last year. These conflicts have intensified since early October this year, following extensive Israeli airstrikes on Beirut and other areas of Lebanon. The Lebanese government reported that at least 11 people were killed in various parts of the country due to Israeli airstrikes on Tuesday. According to a Lebanese military official, one of the Israeli attacks targeted a house in a village in the eastern suburbs of Beirut, where several Lebanese refugees resided. He added that in this unprecedented attack on eastern Beirut, five people were killed. The Lebanese Ministry of Health also stated that at least five people were killed due to the Israeli attack on a village in the mountainous eastern suburbs of Beirut. The eastern suburbs of Beirut are not considered operational or base areas for Hezbollah. Since October 25, Israel has been conducting extensive and continuous airstrikes on the southern suburbs of Beirut and other areas in eastern and southern Lebanon, which are regarded as Hezbollah's base areas. The Israeli army's ground invasion of southern Lebanon also began on October 2.
