    Israel has carried out at least three airstrikes against the southern Beirut suburb of al-Dahiya during the day, AP reports.

    The attacks were carried out less than an hour after the Israeli military issued an evacuation order.

    The order concerned civilians in or near two buildings in the densely populated suburb.

    In a post published on X, Israeli military spokesman Avichay Adraee called on affected Lebanese to “urgently” evacuate. The area of ​​al-Dahiya is known as one of the Shia militia Hezbollah’s strongest strongholds.

    Meanwhile, four people, including a mayor, are said to have been killed in an Israeli attack on the town of Baaloul in the Bekaa Valley in eastern Lebanon, reports the state-run Lebanese news agency NNA.

    The attack hit a residential building.

    The mayor who was killed was active in the nearby town of Sohmor.

    On Saturday morning, drones were fired from Lebanon at Benjamin Netanyahu’s residence. A few hours after the attack, the Israeli prime minister claimed that “nothing will deter us”.

    An adviser to the suspected leader of the terrorist network al-Qaeda is calling on Hamas to “immediately” release the Israeli hostage held in Gaza.

    The statement was made online on Friday by Mustafa Hamid, who is the father-in-law of Saif al-Adel, who is widely believed to lead the network, the US intelligence group Site, which monitors online extremism, said.

    Over 100 Israeli hostages remain in captivity in Gaza since the Hamas terrorist attack on Israel on October 7 last year. However, it is unclear how many of the hostages are still alive.
