The IDF said Tuesday it struck several Hezbollah commanders in Beirut, Lebanon. Lebanese media reported a strike in the Lebanese capital's southern Dahieh suburb, a Hezbollah stronghold.
Meanwhile, sirens sounded in the Golan Heights in northern Israel, including in the communities of Lehavot HaBashan, Shamir and Ramat Trump.
At noon, air raid sirens warning of incoming missile fire from Iran were activated in the Tel Aviv metropolitan area, the Shfela lowlands, the Jerusalem area, Gaza border towns and communities near the Dead Sea. There were no immediate reports of damage or casualties.
Earlier, missile alerts were issued for central Israel and the West Bank region of Samaria. A home in the central city of Petah Tikva was damaged by shrapnel but caused no injuries.
In southern Israel, sirens warning of a suspected hostile aircraft intrusion were activated in the Red Sea resort city of Eilat. IDF Home Front Command later said the incident had ended, and the military said the alert had been triggered by a false identification.
In northern Israel, sirens warning of missile and rocket fire sounded in several communities, including the border villages of Kfar Yuval and Maayan Baruch. Magen David Adom Director General Eli Bin reported a direct strike on a home in Kfar Yuval.
A 64-year-old man sustained light injuries from shattered glass in the impact, medics said. Several people were treated at the scene for shock but did not require evacuation. Four people were inside the home at the time of the strike. Emergency teams were dispatched to the area, and no additional casualties were immediately reported.
Iran, meanwhile, claimed that 787 people were killed in joint U.S.-Israeli strikes, according to Iranian media reports citing the Iranian Red Crescent. Israeli assessments, however, estimate that more than 1,000 members of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps have been killed so far in the combined campaign by the IDF and the United States inside Iran.
Separately, the Lebanese Al-Mayadeen television network, which is affiliated with Hezbollah, reported that an Israeli drone struck a vehicle in the southern Lebanese village of Yohmor al-Shaqif.
