Beirut, Lebanon - September 21, 2024

Rescuers are working intensely in search for survivors in the southern suburb of the Lebanese capital Beirut after an Israeli airstrike killed at least 31 on Friday.

Lebanese health minister said on Saturday that an additional 68 people were injured in the strike, and among the 31 victims, there are three children, seven women, and three Syrians.

Israel Defense Forces said Ibrahim Akil, a Hezbollah Jihad Council member, was killed along with other senior commanders in the Lebanese group during the operation.

Hezbollah has confirmed Akil's death in the attack late on Friday.

Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati said the attack "proves again that the Israeli enemy does not value any human, legal or moral considerations," according to Al Jazeera reports released on Friday.

Hezbollah launched over 100 rockets at more than 30 settlements in western Galilee and a key intelligence base in northern Israel on Friday, retaliating against the Israeli airstrike, Xinhua News Agency reported on Friday.

Earlier on Tuesday and Wednesday, Lebanon experienced two waves of explosions from wireless communication devices, resulting in at least 42 deaths, the Guardian said on Friday. Hezbollah has attributed the explosions to Israel, while Israel has made no response to the charge.
