Later, the Israeli army struck the threatened building in the Jnah–Ghobeiry area, following earlier warnings to evacuate it.

 

 

 

Earlier, Israeli army spokesperson Avichay Adraee issued a warning to residents of the southern suburb, specifically the Ghobeiry district, asking them to stay at least 300 meters away from a specific building marked on the map. The threatened building is located near the "Al-Mayadeen" TV building in the Ghobeiry–Jnah area.

 

Continuous Israeli airstrikes

Early this morning, Israeli airstrikes targeted the towns of Shaqra, Seddiqine, Ain Baal, Batoulieh, Kounin, Beit Yahoun, and Kfarhatta. In the strike on Kfarhatta, six members of a single family displaced from Kfar Tibnit, including a child, were killed. In addition to the airstrikes, artillery shelling struck several towns in the districts of Bint Jbeil, Marjayoun, and Tyre.

The Lebanese Ministry of Health announced that the number of victims of Israeli attacks on Lebanon since March 2 has risen to 1,422 killed and 4,294 injured.

 

 

In a first-of-its-kind operation during this war, Hezbollah announced that it targeted an Israeli warship 68 nautical miles off the Lebanese coast with a sea-launched cruise missile, confirming a direct hit, according to its statement.
