Israel has continued airstrikes in Lebanon and Gaza, saying it has wiped out Hezbollah and Hamas.

Amid a series of civilian damage, reports say the successor of Hezbollah's chief, who died earlier, has also lost contact after Israeli airstrikes.

Israel is launching heavy air strikes on Lebanon.

Yes, five days late local time, several powerful explosions occurred in the southern suburbs of Beirut, Lebanon's capital.

The damage is not yet known, but reports say a building near Beirut's international airport and a building formerly used by Hezbollah-run "Al-Manar" have been attacked.

Shortly before the airstrike, Israeli forces identified several southern Beirut sites as Hezbollah-related facilities and posted a warning on social media that nearby residents should evacuate 500 meters.

Israel's military, which is also waging a ground war in Lebanon, said it had found and destroyed Hezbollah's digs near the northern border.

In the video, Hezbollah Special Operations Unit Radwan's tunnel is 250 meters long with a kitchen and living space, and weapons and food.

Hezbollah, a pro-Iranian militant faction in Lebanon, appears to have weakened its organization after the death of its supreme leader Nasrallah on the 4th.

Hashem Safiedin, who was considered Nasrallah's successor, has also been out of touch since Israeli airstrikes, Reuters reported, citing multiple Lebanese security sources.

Hezbollah, on the other hand, claimed to have shelled Israeli troops who crossed the border on the 6th local time, retreating them.

It also announced that Israel had killed at least 25 Israeli troops after they began ground fighting.

Tomorrow is the first anniversary of the war, and airstrikes are still continuing in Gaza.

[Reporter]
Yes, Israel has attacked a mosque in Deir al-Bala, central Gaza.

At least five people were killed and more than 20 injured, Reuters reported, citing paramedics.

The mosque that was attacked by airstrikes was used as a refugee shelter, so it is feared that the number of casualties will increase further.

The Israeli military confirmed the airstrike, saying Hamas command had been set up at the mosque to carry out a precision strike.

In addition, Israeli airstrikes continued in northern Gaza, killing at least 11 people, Al Jazeera reported.

The continuous war is causing more casualties.

Nearly 42,000 people have been killed in Gaza since the outbreak of the war, and more than 1,400 in Lebanon in the past two weeks.
