The Embassy of India in Beirut on Wednesday issued an advisory notice strongly advising against travelling to Lebanon till further notice following the recent incident of air strikes and blasts in communication devices.
At least 37 people, including three children and seven women, have lost their lives in an Israeli air attack in Beirut's southern suburbs, with the death toll continuing to rise, AL Jazeera reported citing Lebanon's health minister's statement
The United Nations Security Council met in an emergency session on Friday following Israeli strikes on the Lebanese capital Beirut and in the south, which have left at least a dozen dead. UN Spokesperson Stephane Dujarric warned the region now stands "on the brink of a catastrophe."
As the country's tensions with Hezbollah escalate, Israel has said it carried out a "targeted strike" in Beirut, the first striking the Lebanese capital since July, The Washington Post reported.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) launched targeted strikes against Hezbollah terrorist capabilities and infrastructure in Lebanon, aiming to bring security to northern Israel to enable the return of residents to their homes and achieve war goals.
Coordinated attacks across Lebanon targeted communication devices, resulting in devastating consequences. In the latest attacks, at least 20 people lost their lives and over 450 were injured, authorities said, according to a report by Al Jazeera.
The Israel Defence Forces said that top Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr was killed in the Israeli strike in southern Lebanon on Tuesday (local time), which came in retaliation to the rocket attack at Golan Heights that killed 12 children, Times of Israel reported.
The advisory came after Israel said that Hezbollah will "pay the price" after a rocket attack at Golan Heights killed 12 children, for which Tel Aviv blamed the Lebanese group.
