BEIRUT - Israeli occupation forces continued their aggression against Lebanon early Friday, striking the southern district of Beirut and various regions across the country, the Palestine News and Info Agency (WAFA) reported.

Reports indicate a significant number of casualties and extensive damage to buildings, facilities, and critical infrastructure as a result of the recent Israeli airstrikes.

According to local and media sources, Israeli warplanes and artillery launched attacks on multiple towns, including Khiam, Bint Jbeil, Tora, Al-Tiri, Kfar Kila, Khirbet Selim, Al-Labouna, Al-Alam, Tayr Harfa, Adaisseh, Auta al-Shaab, Dhayra, Al-Bustan, Majdel Zoun, Shaqra, Al-Majadel, and Aytit in southern Lebanon.
