BREAKING: Israel Launches Simultaneous Attacks On Iran, Lebanon

Israel has launched what it called “preventative” attack against Iran, as witnesses said they have heard explosions in Iran’s capital, Tehran, according to the Reuters news agency early Saturday morning.

Also, Israeli air strikes have targeted Blat and Wadi Barghouti in several strikes in southern Lebanon’s Iqlim al-Tuffah region, in what has been described as the latest violation of a ceasefire reached in November 2024 between Israel and the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah, according to a Al Jazeera.

The Israeli military said its forces were launching attacks on Hezbollah infrastructure in southern Lebanon. This is the usual army line, but large numbers of civilians and civilian infrastructure have been targeted in the ongoing near-daily Israeli attacks.

Al Jazeera’s correspondent noted that no casualties have been reported so far, with most of the raids targeting open areas amidst forests and hills and added that Israeli army aircraft continued to fly over southern Lebanon.

The Lebanese Al-Mayadeen channel confirmed that the Israeli army aircraft targeted the heights of the al-Tuffah region with a series of raids. Hezbollah ’s Al-Manar TV reported that Israeli “quadcopter” drones dropped explosive devices for the third time in the town of Markaba.

On Thursday, Israeli strikes on Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley killed one person and wounded 29 others.

Lebanon’s Ministry of Health announced that a “16-year-old Syrian boy was killed”, the National News Agency (NNA) reported. He was named as Hussein Mohsen al-Khalaf and was killed in a strike on Kfar Dan near Baalbek, the L’Orient news outlet reported.
