Iran-backed terror group Hezbollah targeted Tel Aviv for the first time ever on Wednesday, launching missiles toward the city, and marking a further escalation in the region. It comes after President Biden gave his final address to the United Nations General Assembly, in which he urged a cease-fire and end to the conflict.
The Israeli military's chief of staff told troops that today's barrage of airstrikes was in preparation for a possible ground offensive into Lebanon.
Health officials at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis refused to receive them and bury them, urging the International Committee of the Red Cross ICRC to seek details from Israel.Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi, the IDF's chief of staff, urged troops in northern Israel to"prepare themselves" for a"possible entry" into Lebanon as the country's fight against Hezbollah continues.
Asked about the matter by the"TODAY" show's Savannah Guthrie, Blinken said the discrepancy was"pretty normal" and maintained that he had done his job. Asked to address concerns of Israel's mounting hostilities with Hezbollah and whether they could develop into the"third Lebanon War," Mencer said:"I'll leave it to others to label the conflict."
It did not say whether there were any deaths from the strikes. Israel's bombing campaign in Lebanon has killed more than 570 people and displaced nearly half a million, according to authorities in the country.The United Nations Refugee Agency has said two of its workers were killed in Israeli strikes in Lebanon earlier this week.
The IDF said the missions would"enable the continuation of combat" against Hezbollah amid growing fears of an all-out war in the region as Israel and the Iran-backed militant group trade fire.Israel's hostilities with Hezbollah have"entered a new phase," the Israeli military's lead officer of the Northern Command said today, warning troops to be"fully prepared for maneuvers and action.
"I express my closeness to the Lebanese people, who have already suffered too much in the recent past," he said, with Lebanon still reeling from a series of crises. “The people here are afraid, but they are very, very strong,” Kallner told NBC News. “The Israeli people are very strong and we are in a war for our existence. We were attacked. We have been attacked for 11 months from Lebanon, by Hezbollah. We almost didn’t do anything, but enough is enough. We need to fight back. We need to bring security for our civilians.”
His warning came after Hezbollah confirmed that senior commander Ibrahim Muhammad Kobeisi was killed in an Israeli airstrike in Beirut yesterday, the latest assassination of the group's leadership in recent weeks.Diplomacy, not war, is the only solution that will see displaced civilians in northern Israel and southern Lebanon able to return to their homes, Secretary of State Antony Blinken told NBC's"TODAY" show this morning.
Foreign ministers of the three nations met yesterday on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, where they called for an end to Israel's nearly yearlong offensive in Gaza and condemned"the Israeli aggression on Lebanon, stressing that Israel is pushing the region into a whole-scale war."
Lebanon's foreign minister has warned that the number of people displaced from their homes in the country's south is likely approaching"half a million" after Israel ramped up its aerial assault on the region in strikes that have killed more than 550 people, according to local health officials. Hezbollah said it had launched the attack at 6:30 a.m. local time and had targeted the headquarters of Mossad, which it blamed for"assassinating leaders and blowing up pagers and wireless devices" in attacks earlier this month.
