The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) reported carrying out multiple strikes on energy-related facilities across Lebanon. According to the IDF, the attacks targeted fuel stations allegedly used by Hezbollah. The operations took place within the past day and included strikes on stations owned by the Al-Amana company.

The IDF claimed that Al-Amana is controlled by Hezbollah and provides financial support for its activities. The military said the targeted fuel stations were used to refuel trucks transporting weapons and fighters. The strikes reportedly rendered several of these facilities inoperative.

The report, citing the IDF’s statement, did not mention any casualties or independent verification of the attacks. The information was sourced from the BBC, as reported by the outlet Amar Desh.

Lebanon has announced the expulsion of Iran’s ambassador, ordering the diplomat to leave the country by next Sunday. The Lebanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs declared the ambassador persona non grata, effectively ending his mission in Beirut. A ministry spokesperson, Denis Rahme, told the Associated Press that although the ambassador will depart, a chargé d’affaires will remain in charge of the Iranian embassy to maintain basic diplomatic functions.

The decision marks a further deterioration in Lebanon-Iran relations, which have been strained since the 2024 conflict between Israel and Hezbollah. That war deepened regional divisions and placed Lebanon’s foreign policy under increasing pressure. The expulsion reflects the ongoing fallout from those tensions and Lebanon’s attempt to recalibrate its diplomatic stance.

It remains unclear how Tehran will respond to the move or whether it will affect broader regional alignments involving Iran and its allies.

The Israeli military has issued a warning urging residents of several areas in southern Lebanon to move to safer locations. The alert came after reports that multiple neighborhoods in southern Beirut were targeted by Israeli airstrikes overnight. Lebanon’s national news agency confirmed that Israeli warplanes were seen conducting attacks in the area.

According to earlier statements, the Israeli forces had claimed responsibility for strikes on Hezbollah infrastructure in Beirut. The latest warning to civilians follows those operations, signaling an escalation in military activity along the Lebanon-Israel frontier.

The situation remains tense as residents in affected regions face uncertainty about further military actions and potential displacement.

Lebanon’s Health Ministry reported that two people were killed and five others injured in an Israeli airstrike on the southern Beirut suburb of Bchamoun on Tuesday. The attack, part of a series of overnight strikes, targeted multiple districts in the capital’s southern suburbs, including areas such as Bir al-Abed, al-Ruwais, and Burj al-Barajneh.

According to Lebanon’s state news agency, Israeli warplanes carried out seven separate raids across the southern suburbs, areas known for Hezbollah influence. The Israeli military also reiterated its call for residents in southern Lebanon to evacuate. The strikes come amid intensified hostilities following Hezbollah’s rocket attacks on Israel that began on March 2, launched in response to the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in a U.S.-Israeli strike.

Since the escalation, Israel has conducted widespread attacks across Lebanon, killing at least 1,039 people and deploying ground forces in the south. The United Nations has stated that nearly one in five Lebanese citizens has been displaced by the ongoing conflict.

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has said that Israel’s border should extend up to Lebanon’s Litani River. He made the remarks during an Israeli radio program, stating that the ongoing military operation in Lebanon should end in a “completely different reality,” where not only Hezbollah but also Israel’s borders would change. His comments come amid escalating tensions in Lebanon.

According to the report, Israel has recently attacked key bridges over the Litani River, cutting off parts of southern Lebanon from the rest of the country. Lebanese President Joseph Aoun described these attacks as a possible prelude to a ground invasion, warning that they could indicate preparations for such an operation.

The situation reflects growing instability along the Israel-Lebanon frontier, with both military actions and political statements signaling a potential shift in the region’s security dynamics.

Lebanon-based armed group Hezbollah claimed on Sunday, March 22, that it carried out 63 attacks against Israeli forces in a single day. The group announced the operations early Monday through its Telegram channel, stating that rockets, drones, and artillery shells were used to target Israeli troops inside Israel and in southern Lebanon. According to Al Jazeera, the scale of the attacks was described as unprecedented.

In response to continued threats from Hezbollah, Israel has launched a ground operation in southern Lebanon. Since March 2, Israeli strikes in Lebanon have reportedly killed 1,029 people and injured 2,786 others. The ongoing hostilities have displaced over one million people, worsening humanitarian conditions across the region.

The intensifying cross-border violence has pushed regional security into a severe crisis, raising concerns about further escalation if the current pattern of attacks and counterattacks continues.

Hezbollah has claimed responsibility for multiple attacks targeting Israeli forces stationed in southern Lebanon. According to statements released by the group, rocket strikes were launched at Israeli positions near Yaroun, Marwahin, and Ad-Duhayrah, while artillery fire targeted troops in the Maroun al-Ras area. Hezbollah also reported using drones to strike an Israeli unit advancing from Maroun toward Khallat al-Bustan, asserting that the attack successfully hit its target.

Israel’s Walla News reported that seven Israeli soldiers were injured in southern Lebanon. The report described a “security-related incident” in which four soldiers sustained minor injuries, while another was hurt in a drone strike near a military unit in the same area. Additionally, two soldiers were slightly injured in a separate “accident” in northern Israel.

All injured soldiers were taken to hospitals for treatment, according to the report. The incidents highlight ongoing cross-border hostilities between Hezbollah and Israeli forces in the region.

According to Al Jazeera, one in every five people in Lebanon has been forcibly displaced amid the ongoing conflict. The report states that Israeli forces have expanded evacuation orders for residents of southern Lebanon, extending from the Litani River to areas north of the Zahrani River. This zone covers about 1,470 square kilometers, roughly 14 percent of Lebanon’s total territory.

Maps show that numerous villages across southern Lebanon have been ordered to evacuate, with the highest levels of displacement occurring near the Litani River and border regions. The coastal city of Saida (Sidon), Nabatieh, and surrounding areas are witnessing heavy population movement as people head north in search of safety.

The large-scale displacement is intensifying the ongoing conflict and deepening the humanitarian crisis. It is also placing severe pressure on Lebanon’s infrastructure, economy, and social stability.

Israeli airstrikes have nearly destroyed the Qasmiyeh Bridge in southern Lebanon, a key infrastructure link connecting the coastal city of Tyre with the rest of the country, according to Al Jazeera. The attack has effectively cut off Tyre, leaving limited alternative routes across the Litani River, which are located far away and not suitable for quick or efficient travel.

Local sources said the destruction of the bridge underscores the growing intensity of the ongoing conflict. The strikes appear to target infrastructure more aggressively than in previous confrontations. During the 2024 clashes between Israel and Hezbollah, large-scale attacks on major infrastructure were not reported.

The latest escalation suggests a shift in Israel’s military approach, with increased focus on strategic targets that could further disrupt civilian and logistical connectivity in southern Lebanon.

Israeli forces have reportedly carried out artillery attacks using white phosphorus shells in the southern Lebanese city of Naqoura, according to Lebanon’s National News Agency. The bombardment was accompanied by ground fighting between Israeli troops and Hezbollah fighters inside the city. Local sources described the situation as increasingly tense, with the alleged use of phosphorus munitions raising potential international concern due to strict restrictions on such weapons.

In addition to the Naqoura assault, Israeli forces launched a second strike on the strategic Qasmiya Bridge in southern Lebanon, Al Jazeera Arabic reported. The bridge is considered a key communication link in the region. Separately, Israeli aircraft also targeted the eastern Lebanese city of Majdal Salem.

No immediate details were available regarding casualties or damage from the attacks. Authorities indicated that further information would be provided as it becomes available.

Lebanon’s armed group Hezbollah has claimed responsibility for 55 separate attacks on Israeli forces in a single day, describing it as the highest number of assaults against Israel in its history. According to the group, the operations targeted Israeli positions both inside Lebanon and across the border in northern Israel, intensifying regional tensions.

Reports indicate significant clashes across multiple fronts in Lebanon. In the southern and western Koura areas, Hezbollah said it attacked Israeli troops attempting to cross the border. Fierce fighting also continued near Khiam and Taybeh on the eastern front. By evening, at least one person was reported killed in an airstrike.

The situation in Lebanon has grown increasingly volatile, with the impact reaching the capital, Beirut. Two attacks in the city’s southern suburbs highlighted how the conflict’s escalation is spreading beyond border zones.

At least 20 people were killed and 57 others injured in the latest Israeli airstrike in Lebanon, according to the country's Disaster Risk Management Unit. The attack took place on Friday, marking another escalation in the ongoing Israeli military operations in the region.

Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency reported that with these new casualties, the total number of people killed in Israeli attacks since March 2 has risen to 1,021. The total number of injured has reached 2,641, while 134,616 people have been registered as displaced in various shelters across the country.

The figures highlight the growing humanitarian toll of the continued Israeli strikes in Lebanon, as reported by Al Jazeera and local authorities.

Israeli airstrikes continued across southern Lebanon on Friday morning, targeting several towns including Bafiliya and Hanin in the Tyre and Bint Jbeil regions, according to Lebanon’s state news agency. The attacks left several people injured, though the exact number of casualties from the latest strikes was not specified.

Lebanon’s Ministry of Health reported that since March 2, a total of 1,001 people have been killed in Israeli attacks across the country. Among the dead are 79 women, 118 children, and 40 healthcare workers. The ministry also stated that 2,584 people have been injured during this period. The report, citing BBC Bangla, highlights the continuing escalation of violence between Israel and Lebanon.

The rising civilian toll underscores the growing humanitarian impact of the ongoing conflict, with health workers among the casualties and widespread injuries reported across affected regions.

Two journalists from the Russian state-controlled network RT were injured in an Israeli missile strike while on assignment in southern Lebanon on Thursday. According to Lebanon’s National News Agency, cited by Al Jazeera, correspondent Steve Sweeney and cameraman Ali Rida were near the Al-Qasmiya Bridge, close to a local military base, when the missile hit nearby. RT confirmed the incident on its website.

Ali Rida alleged that the Israeli forces deliberately targeted them despite their visible press uniforms and identification. A video circulating online shows the missile striking less than ten meters behind Sweeney as he was reporting on camera, forcing him to take cover amid smoke and debris. The footage was captured live by Rida’s camera.

In a later video message, Rida said both he and Sweeney were safe. As of now, the Israeli military has not issued any official statement regarding the attack.

Israel is reportedly planning to seize villages along the southern Lebanese border as part of efforts to strengthen security on its northern frontier. According to Turkey’s state-run Anadolu Agency, citing Israeli media, Channel 12 reported that Israel aims to take control of frontline villages to prevent rocket and anti-tank attacks. The military may be instructed to occupy any area from which attacks are launched toward Israeli territory, with such control potentially continuing until further notice.

The report did not specify which villages might be targeted. An unnamed Israeli security source described the move as a strategic measure that could serve as a bargaining tool in the future. The source also claimed that Lebanon’s government has no effective alternative other than disarming or dismantling Hezbollah.

Despite a ceasefire in place since November 2024, border tensions have escalated again, with intensified Israeli airstrikes across Lebanon. Lebanese authorities reported that since March 2, at least 968 people have been killed and 2,432 injured in the attacks.
