The Israeli military today reported a new series of attacks aimed at destroying infrastructure and killing Hezbollah and Hamas members operating in Lebanon. The Israeli army said in a statement that the strikes targeted a Hezbollah naval base in Beirut. The army said the target was a boat that militants were using under cover as a fishing vessel, but said the vessel was preparing for a potential raid on Israeli targets along the coast.

According to foreign sources, Israeli intelligence recently received information about Hezbollah's plans to conduct a naval operation against Israeli targets. In response to this information, Israel has strengthened security measures on the coast and put its units providing naval defense on combat alert. The Israeli army clarifies that the strikes on the infrastructure of the naval base in Beirut were aimed at preventing these plans of the militants before they could be implemented.

In addition to the attacks on Hezbollah naval facilities, the Israeli army confirmed an air strike that killed Ali Barakat, a member of Hezbollah's air force, and Said Naif Ali, a senior member of Hamas' military wing, was also killed in strikes in Lebanon.

A series of airstrikes hit several areas in the southern suburbs of Beirut, causing extensive damage and fires. Thick smoke visible from afar rose from the sites, and locals reported severe damage and panic among the population. According to Al Jazeera, Israeli aircraft continued the operation by attacking a motorcycle in the city of Yahmar al-Shaqif. That same day, the neighborhoods of al-Dhahira and Shikheen were subjected to artillery fire from the Israeli army, causing further destruction.
