Beirut; April 2026<\/strong>: Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement has unleashed a rocket barrage towards an illegal settlement lying on the northern side of the occupied territories in response to earlier deadly Israeli strikes. In a statement today (09th April 2026), the movement said it had targeted the Manara settlement “in defense of Lebanon and its people, in response to the enemy’s violation of the ceasefire agreement, and after the resistance adhered to the ceasefire while the enemy did not. This response will continue until the Israeli-American aggression against our country and our people ceases”.<\/p>\n\n\n

Earlier, the Israeli regime targeted various areas throughout Lebanon, including the capital Beirut, killing at least 182 people and wounding 890 others, according to a preliminary toll offered by the country’s health ministry. A subsequent toll put the number of the fatalities at 254 and those injured at 1,150.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The regime has carried out numerous violations against a 2024 ceasefire deal it signed with Hezbollah, under which Tel Aviv was expected to end deadly escalation towards Lebanon that had claimed thousands of lives. Since February 28, when the regime and the United States began their latest bout of unprovoked aggression targeting Iran, Tel Aviv simultaneously ramped up its assaults on Lebanon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Wednesday, US President Donald Trump announced agreeing to a two-week lull in attacks on Iran. Trump said a 10-point proposal forwarded by the Islamic Republic serves as a “workable basis on which to negotiate and the main framework for these talks”. The proposal underlines the need for cessation of aggression throughout the entire region, including in Lebanon, conditioning the Islamic Republic’s stopping its defensive strikes on a halt to aggressors’ regional atrocities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has announced that Iran was preparing a “regret-inducing response” to the renewed Israeli attacks on Lebanon, warning that any assault on Hezbollah was an assault on the Islamic Republic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Hezbollah has condemned in the strongest terms the latest Israeli massacre of civilians in various parts of Lebanon, including the capital Beirut, saying the atrocities are indicative of the regime’s catastrophic failure to attain any of its objectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“With its blind hatred, customary criminality, and infinite brutality, all of which are part of its nature, the Zionist enemy committed a series of massacres today against civilians, and carried out dozens of brutal raids. It targeted civilian areas in the capital Beirut, the city of Saida, and the Bekaa Valley, leaving hundreds of people, including women, children and the elderly, dead and wounded”, the resistance movement said in a statement released today early morning (09th April 2026 IST).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The group said such barbaric aggression, which explicitly amounts to war crimes and crimes of genocide due to targeting crowded civilian places, markets, and commercial shops during peak hours, is nothing but a desperate attempt to take revenge on civilian citizens after the failure of all attempts to break the willpower of the honorable Lebanese nation and subdue them. “Our honorable people and the sons of the country have proven that the brutality of the aggression has only increased their steadfastness, firmness, and commitment to the choice of resistance, no matter what great sacrifices they offer”, the statement read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hezbollah said this unbridled criminality is a clear expression of the disappointment suffered by the Tel Aviv regime after its catastrophic failure to achieve any of its goals in various fronts, and after finding itself besieged by the reality of its defeat, unable and shackled from changing the equations imposed by the steadfastness of the peoples of Iran and Lebanon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The movement said the recent deadly Israeli attacks are an expression of the state of collapse, confusion, and disarray that the crisis-ridden Israeli regime and its defeated army are living in following painful retaliatory operations by resistance fighters. “We confirm that the blood of the martyrs and the wounded will not go in vain, and that today’s massacres, like all brutal attacks and crimes, confirm our natural and legal right to resist the occupation and respond to its aggression. They will increase our determination to resist and confront in order to restrain the enemy, defend our people and our homeland, and protect our security in the face of ongoing aggression\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lebanon’s Civil Defense authorities said at least 254 people have lost their lives and another 1,165 sustained injuries in the fresh round of Israeli strikes across Lebanon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lebanese Ministry of Public Health said hospitals and medical centers are full of those injured in the Israeli strikes, and in need of urgent treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
