Israeli warplanes strike multiple sites across southern Lebanon and Bekaa Valley
ALBAWABA- Israeli warplanes launched a series of airstrikes across southern Lebanon and the Bekaa Valley on Tuesday, intensifying cross-border hostilities amid rising regional tensions.
Two air raids were reported between the towns of Toul and Al-Sawana in southern Lebanon, alongside additional strikes on the outskirts of Boudai in the Bekaa Valley.
Further bombardments targeted the areas of Mahmoudiya, Barghaz, and the Rayhan Heights. A drone carried out a warning strike on a building in the Toul area shortly before Israeli aircraft launched a direct raid on the same structure, which had reportedly been marked as a potential target earlier.

Earlier in the day, an Israeli airstrike targeted a vehicle in southern Lebanon, part of a growing pattern of near-daily military operations in the border region.
Reacting to the escalation, Lebanon's Army Commander-in-Chief issued a strong statement condemning Israel's continued violations of Lebanese sovereignty.
He called on the Israeli military to cease its aggression, respect international law, and withdraw from occupied Lebanese territories.
The commander also urged the deployment of Lebanese armed forces in southern areas to maintain stability and uphold national sovereignty.
