Beirut: The Israeli army carried out seven airstrikes overnight Monday on Beirut's southern suburbs in a fresh wave of attacks on Lebanon. The strikes targeted the areas of Burj al-Barajneh, Kafaat, Haret Hreik, Bir al-Abed, Jamous, and Hadath, an Anadolu reporter said.

According to Anadolu Agency, Israeli army spokesperson Avichay Adraee confirmed the fresh wave of strikes. In a post on US social media company X, he said the attacks targeted infrastructure of the Lebanese group Hezbollah. The Israeli army has been conducting airstrikes and has launched a ground offensive in southern Lebanon following a cross-border attack by Hezbollah on March 2.

Lebanese authorities report at least 1,039 deaths and 2,876 injuries from Israeli attacks. The current escalation is linked to the commencement of a joint US-Israeli offensive on Iran, which has resulted in over 1,340 fatalities since February 28. Tehran has responded with drone and missile strikes targeting Israel, and has also impacted Jordan, Iraq, and Gulf countries.
