The Israeli military launched multiple coordinated waves of airstrikes against Hezbollah infrastructure in Beirut and southern Lebanon, occurring simultaneously with strikes on Iran.
The Israeli military has executed multiple waves of large-scale airstrikes targeting Beirut and southern Lebanon. These operations occurred in direct coordination with the unprecedented assault on Iranian territory, marking a significant widening of the ongoing regional conflict.
According to قناة الجزيرة, a Qatari-state-funded network that generally reflects a pro-Arab editorial stance, the Israeli army officially declared that it began launching attacks in Beirut "simultaneously with the attacks in Iran". The network later reported a subsequent military announcement confirming the start of a new wave of raids "across Beirut".
The strikes rapidly expanded beyond the Lebanese capital. واحد عراق, an Iraqi news channel that typically aligns with regional 'Axis of Resistance' narratives, reported an Israeli army statement declaring the initiation of an "additional large-scale wave of airstrikes in southern Lebanon simultaneously with the airstrikes in Beirut".
Following the coordinated bombardments, Al Jazeera reported a concluding statement from the Israeli military confirming it had "completed an additional wave of airstrikes on headquarters and infrastructure of Hezbollah" across both Beirut and southern Lebanon.
