...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...

Lebanon's National News Agency (NNA) reported the retrieval of six deaders as a result of the Israeli strike on a house in the town of al-Ain in northern Bekaa, with rescue operations still ongoing to recover the other five deaders.

Media sources indicated that the occupation aircraft carried out a strike on the Shweifat area in the southern suburbs of Beirut, while NNA mentioned that ''the hostile aircraft targeted the area between the towns of Deir Ammar and al-Bayyad'' in the western sector.

The agency added that Israeli planes struck the Tahwitah al-Ghadir area, targeting a building, which resulted in significant material damage and the burning of a car near the targeted location.

The occupation aircraft launched an attack shortly after midnight, targeting a house in the town of Jabshait, resulting in injuries. Israeli warplanes also struck the city of Tyre in southern Lebanon.

The city of Baalbek and surrounding villages were targeted in a series of intense airstrikes starting from five in the morning, affecting factories, warehouses, shops, farms, and populated areas.

In Baalbek, the bombings began at 5:15 a.m., with the last strike occurring on the al-Kayal road shortly after 7 a.m. The hostile aircraft targeted the following towns: Shaat, Sarain, Ain al-Souda, Naania, Younin, Tarya, and Bouday, in addition to many villages in northern Bekaa.

Israeli drones did not leave the skies of the area during the previous night.

Israeli fighter jets also bombed the towns of Markaba, Deir Siryan, al-Sawana, and Bani Hayyan in the Marjeyoun district.

The Israeli army said that its aircraft carried out strikes on the southern suburbs of Beirut.

Earlier, the Lebanese Ministry of Health issued a statement indicating that the Israeli aggression on Lebanese areas since dawn yesterday, Saturday, resulted in the martyrdom of 33 people and injuries to 195 others.

Lebanese Health Minister Firas al-Abyad reported that 1,640 people have been killed including 104 children and 194 women and 8,408 injured since the onset of hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah nearly a year ago.

These developments follow hours after Hezbollah confirmed the liquidation of its Secretary-General His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah
