Israel bombed Lebanon’s capital, Beirut, on Saturday night. During this time, flames and clouds of smoke were seen rising into the sky. According to local media, Israeli planes targeted Hezbollah’s financial centers. At least 15 people were killed in this attack, while more than 23 people were injured.
Many houses have also been damaged in the Israeli attack. In addition to the capital Beirut, Israel also carried out airstrikes against Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon. Walid al-Hashash, a volunteer, said this area is residential. The buildings here are next to each other. The streets are narrow. In such a situation, relief and rescue efforts are challenging.
The conflict with Hezbollah has continued since Hamas’ attack on Israel in October last year. More than 3,500 Lebanese have been killed so far in the Israeli attack, while more than 2 million people have been left homeless. Of them, 8 lakh are children and women. At the same time, some 90 Israeli soldiers were killed in the Lebanese Hezbollah attack.
On the other hand, the wave of protests for the release of Israeli citizens kidnapped in Gaza does not stop. On Saturday, thousands of protesters took to the streets of Tel Aviv again and demanded the Israeli government stop the bombing of Gaza and immediately reach an agreement with Hamas for the release of the hostages. This manifestation is continually intensifying.
Protesters who took to the streets of Tel Aviv also demanded the resignation of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. There has also been a demand for holding general elections in the country. Protesters claim that Prime Minister Netanyahu has so far failed to free the hostages. In such a situation, he should resign. Hamas attacked Israel and took more than 250 people hostage.
At the same time, Prime Minister Netanyahu has promised a reward of 5 million dollars (about 38 million rupees) for each hostage. He said: “I also tell those who want to get out of this maze, whoever takes us hostage, your family will have a safe way out.” We will offer a reward of 5 million dollars for each hostage.
