Lebanon faced multiple Israeli attacks on Thursday, including at least four strikes in southern Beirut which claimed to hit Hezbollah's media office.
Lebanese authorities said 110 airstrikes and shelling incidents have been recorded over the past two days, mainly in southern Lebanon and the Beirut suburbs. Clashes between Hezbollah fighters and Israeli solders have been taking place along the border villages near Maroun al-Ras with Israeli media reporting that helicopters had to rescue soldiers from the Golani brigade in an incident.
Nine people were killed and eleven injured in a strike overnight Wednesday which hit an apartment block in Bashoura, not far from Lebanon's parliament. Israel did not give any warning prior to the strike which was heard across the city and was only the second time the centre had been hit.
Lebanon's health ministry said 46 people have been killed and 85 wounded in the past day. International NGOs warned on Thursday that the health system was struggling to cope and urgently needs further support to sustain the heavy flow of wounded.
It follows a major missile attack from Iran against Israel on Tuesday night in response to the killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and Hamas official Ismail Haniyeh.
Israeli military continues to launch attacks in Gaza, where five civilians were killed by an airstrike in al-Shati refugee camp in Gaza City, local news agency Wafa reported.
