ALBAWABA - The death toll in the Israeli airstrike on the southern suburb of the Lebanese capital, Beirut, on early Tuesday morning has jumped to 4 people, Al Jadeed reported.
The Israeli army announced, early Tuesday morning, that it had carried out an airstrike without prior warning targeting a Hezbollah member in the southern suburb of Beirut.
The initial data revealed that the attack was directed by the General Security Service (Shabak).
Earlier, the Lebanese Ministry of Health reported that three people were killed and four others wounded as a result of the Israeli aggression.
The army alleged in a statement that the target was directing Hamas activists and assisting them in planning an imminent attack against Israeli targets, prompting the strike to "eliminate the threat".
The Israeli army affirmed that it would continue "to act against any threat targeting Israeli citizens," stressing the ongoing military operations it is carrying out inside and outside Lebanon.
It is worth noting that the airstrike comes amid escalating Israeli violations following the ceasefire deal agreed upon with Hezbollah on Nov. 27. Meanwhile, Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam condemned the strike saying it was a "clear breach" of the ceasefire.
