Israeli airstrikes on eastern and southern Lebanon killed 24 people and injured 19 others on Thursday, according to official and military sources in Lebanon.
The Lebanese military sources, who spoke anonymously, told Xinhua that Israeli warplanes and drones carried out 35 airstrikes in southern Lebanon and 12 in the east, including one that targeted a motorcycle in the Bekaa Valley in east Lebanon.
The Civil Defense teams, the Lebanese Red Cross, and the Islamic Health Authority are still working to remove the rubble of destroyed homes, searching for missing persons.
The military sources said that clashes continued for a third day in a row between Hezbollah and the Israeli army, which is trying to advance from the eastern side of the village of Khiam to its center.
They pointed out that the Israeli forces had yet to reach the center of Khiam, a key Hezbollah stronghold on the eastern side of the border area in southern Lebanon.
Meanwhile, Hezbollah said in a series of statements that its members targeted several Israeli gatherings with rockets.
