JAKARTA - The Israeli military launched five airstrikes on the southern suburbs of Hezbollah-controlled Beirut. This attack came after the Israeli defense minister ruled out the option of a ceasefire in Lebanon until Israel's goal was achieved.

As reported by Reuters, smoke rose over Beirut when an explosion rocked the capital on Tuesday, November 12.

The explosion follows an Israeli military warning posted on social media identifying 12 locations on the southern outskirts and said it would take immediate action against the site.

Israel warned their citizens were near the Hezbollah facility.

There have been no reports of casualties as a result of the latest attack. Most residents have left the southern suburbs since Israel began bombing the area in September.

In Israel, airstrike sirens were heard in parts of the north, leaving residents running for cover, and the military said a number of air targets were "suspicive" launched from Lebanon. There were no reports of injuries.

Triggered by the Gaza war, the conflict on the Lebanese-Israeli border had been going on for a year before Israel launched an attack in September, attacking large parts of Lebanon by airstrikes and sending troops south.

Israel has dealt a heavy blow to Hezbollah over the past seven weeks, killing many of its top leaders including Hassan Nasrallah, flattening parts of Beirut's southern suburbs.

The attack also caused major damage to border villages in southern Lebanon.

Meeting with Israeli general staff for the first time, Israel's newly appointed Defense Minister, Israel Katz, said there would be no ceasefire in Lebanon until Israel achieved its goals.

"Israel will not agree to any regulation that does not guarantee Israel's right to uphold and prevent terrorism itself, and fulfill the war's objectives in Lebanon to strip Himbollah and withdraw it outside the Litani River and repatriate the northern population safely. to their homes," he continued.
