Israel once again threatened to attack Haret Hreik, Burj al-Barajneh and Hadath in the southern suburb of Beirut.

The Israeli army launched an attack on a building in Al Bashoura, west of Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, on Wednesday and according to the Ministry of Health, at least six people have been killed and 11 injured so far, but the figure could rise in the next few hours.

In the southern suburb of Beirut, there have been new attacks this morning (local time), while local media report that an Israeli attack targeted a civilian house in Hermel, near one of the city’s hospitals.

According to the Syrian National News Agency, internationally banned phosphorus bombs were used in the attack on Al-Bashoura.

Israeli forces had previously threatened to attack Haret Hreik, Burj al-Barajneh and Hadath in the southern suburb of Beirut.

Similarly, there are reports that three explosions were heard in the suburbs south of the Lebanese capital.

Las autoridades libanesas ademas denunciaron el uso del fosforo blanco por parte de Israel contra las barriadas civiles líbanesas.

It should be noted that white phosphorus is regulated by Protocol III of the 1980 Convention on Conventional Weapons, as it is considered an incendiary weapon and its use is prohibited against civilians.

Authorities in Lebanon reported that since mid-September, Israel’s continued shelling of various locations throughout the country has intensified and more than 1,000 people have been killed, thousands injured and displaced.

Israel is carrying out attacks on parts of Syria and also maintains cross-fire missile fire with the Houthis in Yemen.

On this day, Israeli troops launched an attack against a crowded area of Damascus, the capital of Syria, leaving three people dead.

In Gaza, the Israeli occupation army has killed 41,689 Palestinians and wounded 96,625 since 7 October, according to records from that day.

On 1 October, Iran launched dozens of missiles against Israeli soil, which hit military and security targets, which the Iranian government considered as an act of self-defence.
