At least four people were killed Sunday when Israeli fighter jets targeted a civil defense center operated by the Islamic Scout Association in the town of Tayr Debba in southern Lebanon, according to the country’s official news agency.

The Israeli army also carried out intense airstrikes on Tyre, the southern towns of Kfarchouba and Kfar Kila, as well as Hermel and its surrounding areas in eastern Lebanon, according to an Anadolu Agency correspondent.

In the early hours of Sunday, the Israeli military launched fresh airstrikes on Beirut’s southern suburb, hitting several targets. The bombings caused fires and extensive damage to buildings in the area.

Since Saturday, Israeli airstrikes have intensified to levels not seen since the 2006 Lebanon War. Beirut’s southern suburb and several towns in southern Lebanon have been repeatedly bombarded.

The toll from this latest wave of attacks, described as the “most violent and widespread” since clashes with Hezbollah began nearly a year ago, has risen to 816 dead and 2,507 injured, according to Lebanese government data. The casualties include many women and children.

Lebanese and Palestinian factions, most notably Hezbollah, have been exchanging fire daily with Israeli forces across the Blue Line since Oct. 8, 2023.

As of Saturday, the ongoing exchanges have claimed the lives of 1,673 people, including 104 children and 194 women, with 8,603 others injured, according to Lebanon’s Health Ministry.

On Saturday, the Israeli army announced the “successful” assassination of Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah in airstrikes on Beirut’s southern suburb the previous evening. Hezbollah confirmed Nasrallah’s death.

The international community has expressed concern over Israel’s actions in Lebanon, warning that the strikes could escalate the ongoing Gaza conflict into a wider regional war.

The French newspaper “Le Parisien” claimed that “an Iranian spy informed Israel of the news of the arrival of the Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah to the southern suburb of Beirut following the funeral of the leader of the party’s drone unit, Mohammed Sorur, and that the deputy commander of the Quds Force in Lebanon, Abbas Nilforoushan, was with him in the same car.

The newspaper reported “Israel waited for Nasrallah’s meeting with the party’s leaders to begin before carrying out the raid,” revealing that “Nasrallah and the party’s leaders met in a location 30 meters underground.

In addition to Nasrallah and the deputy commander of the Iranian Quds Force, 12 senior Hezbollah officials attended the meeting.”

The Israeli Channel 12 reported “the commander of the Lebanese region in Israeli military intelligence was the one who ordered the raid on Nasrallah, who was inside an underground hole in the southern suburb.” The channel said that “the same official was at the army headquarters in Tel Aviv during the execution,” adding: “The raid on the suburb was planned in advance due to information built over the years by the Shin Bet and Mossad.”

The attack began after the Israeli Air Force dropped 80 MK84 bunker-busting bombs, each weighing one ton, according to a report by the Israeli Broadcasting Authority, while each bomb is capable of penetrating fortifications at a depth of 50 to 70 meters underground.

It was “Unit 119’, known as ‘the Bat’ in the Israeli Air Force that carried out the operation, while the aircrafts that carried out the attack are of the F-15 variety.
