Israel slams Lebanon in wave of attacks rooting out Hezbollah — killing at least 217: officials
2026-03-08
[NYPOST] The Israel Defense Forces launched a deadly wave of attacks against Hezbollah that killed at least 217 in Lebanon, according to authorities.

Dozens of airstrikes from the IDF on Saturday took out Hezbollah leaders in Beirut, a Hamas commander near Tripoli, a headquarters used by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps air force, missile launch platforms in southern Lebanon, and Hezbollah military sites in the Bekaa Valley, the Israeli military announced Saturday.

Israel issued evacuation warnings to civilians in Beirut's southern suburbs and parts of southern Lebanon prior to its onslaught against Iranian-backed Hezbollah.

The bombing campaign has killed at least 217 people, injured 798 others and displaced 95,000 Lebanese civilians, according to the country's health ministry, Al Jazeera reported.

It is unclear how many members of the Lebanese terror proxy were taken out.
