Israeli Army Destroys Two Mosques in Airstrikes on Lebanon
Israeli Army Bombs Mosque in Southern Lebanon, Resulting in Civilian Casualties
A recent attack by the Israeli army on a mosque in Dahira town, located in Lebanon’s Southern province, has left a devastating impact on the local community. The bombing occurred following a limited infiltration by a group of Israeli soldiers from the Jaradih military zone near Dahira.
In addition to the mosque bombing, Israeli warplanes also conducted intense attacks on Kefr Tebnit town in the south of Lebanon, resulting in the complete destruction of a historical mosque in the area. The escalating violence has led to a significant loss of life and widespread destruction in the region.
Since October 8, 2023, the Israeli army has been engaged in controlled clashes with Hezbollah, launching numerous air strikes on southern Lebanese cities, as well as the Bekaa and Baalbek regions. According to data from the Lebanese Ministry of Health, a total of 2,255 people, including 104 children and 194 women, have lost their lives, while 10,524 individuals have been injured as a result of the conflict.
Tragically, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah was killed in air strikes by the Israeli army on Beirut on September 27. In retaliation, Hezbollah has responded with rockets and missiles targeting Israeli army bases, although no major damage has been reported.
The ongoing violence has also triggered a mass displacement of civilians in Lebanon, with an estimated 100 thousand people forced to flee their homes due to Israeli bombardment. Many have sought refuge in the capital city of Beirut and the north, while over 430 thousand displaced individuals have migrated to neighboring Syria.
As the situation continues to deteriorate, urgent international intervention is needed to prevent further loss of life and suffering among civilians in the region. The targeting of religious sites and civilian infrastructure must be condemned, and efforts to de-escalate the conflict and facilitate humanitarian aid to affected populations must be prioritized.
