Intense Israeli Airstrikes on Hezbollah in Lebanon and Gaza Strip

The Israeli army announced that starting from the early morning of Sunday, November 20, it has launched new attacks on targets in Lebanon and the Gaza Strip, claiming to have eliminated "dozens" of militants. The Israeli army stated that in the city of Jabalia in northern Gaza, Israeli forces destroyed "many of the militants' infrastructures" as well as a weapons depot in the area. The Israeli army's statement mentioned that other targets have also been identified near Beit Lahia, and Israeli forces continue to carry out "precise operational activities based on intelligence" in the Rafah area in southern Gaza. These new attacks on Gaza come after the ceasefire negotiations for Gaza remained inconclusive, and Qatar announced that it is temporarily suspending its mediation in these talks. The Qatari Foreign Ministry emphasized on Saturday night that this suspension will continue until there is a "willingness and seriousness" from both Israel and Hamas to continue the discussions. Reports have also emerged that the United States has requested Qatar to shut down the political office of the extremist group Hamas in Doha, following Hamas's negative responses to ceasefire proposals. Hamas is listed as a terrorist organization by the United States and the European Union. "At least 40 people" were killed in Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon. Lebanese officials reported that in the past 24 hours of Israeli airstrikes on various areas of the country, including the southern suburbs of Beirut, at least 40 people, including several children, have been killed. The Lebanese Ministry of Health announced that at least seven people were killed as a result of Israeli attacks on the coastal city of Tyre in southern Lebanon, with two children among the deceased. The Israeli army had previously ordered the evacuation of large parts of this city, but no related order was issued by the Israeli army spokesperson on social media before the attacks on Friday. Israeli airstrikes on other cities in Lebanon on Saturday, November 19, also resulted in the deaths of 13 people, including seven rescuers from Hezbollah-affiliated rescue groups and its ally, the Amal Movement. The Israeli army also stated that in attacks on Saturday in the east of the historic city of Baalbek, at least 20 people lost their lives. The Israeli army announced that it targeted Hezbollah infrastructures in the areas of Tyre and Baalbek, which include fighters, operational apartments, and weapons depots. The army also conducted over 10 airstrikes on the southern suburbs of Beirut on Friday night, an area that was previously a bustling neighborhood and one of Hezbollah's key bases; as a result of this attack, many buildings were almost completely destroyed. Hezbollah also stated on Saturday in a message on its Telegram channel that it attacked a military communications base in Israel south of Lake Tiberias (Galilee) and 55 kilometers from the Lebanese border using a drone. According to this statement, missiles were also fired at northern Haifa and an Israeli air force base. Israel has been engaged in a war with Hezbollah since last October, but the clashes have significantly escalated since late September of this year; Israel has increased its airstrikes, and Hezbollah has also intensified its daily missile and drone attacks on Israel. In addition to airstrikes on areas in Beirut and its suburbs, as well as eastern, central, and southern Lebanon, Israel has also conducted extensive ground operations in the south of the country. According to the Lebanese Ministry of Health, Israeli airstrikes in the country over the past year have resulted in approximately 2,900 deaths and over 13,000 injuries.
