LATEST: The Israeli Defense Force (IDF) is now warning civilians in concrete buildings in the southern part of Lebanon’s capital. – Urgent! Warning to residents of the southern part of Beirut. Especially those of you who are in the buildings on the attached map. For your own safety and that of your family, you must evacuate the building and stay at least 500 meters away, writes an IDF spokesperson in Arabic. He claims that the buildings are linked to Hezbollah and will be attacked. Will respond to Iran – We will respond to this shameful attack. We will do that in a way where we control the place, time and method – as our political leaders ask us to do, says spokesman for the Israeli defense Daniel Hagari in a televised statement on Saturday evening. The spokesman mentions the attack from Iran on Tuesday. On Saturday evening, the news agency AFP reports that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also promises to respond to Iran’s attack. – Israel has a responsibility and a right to defend itself, and to respond to these attacks. We will do that, Netanyahu said, according to the news agency. About 180 missiles were sent against Israel and at first the message was that very few of the missiles reached the ground. Later, analyzes have shown that several Iranian missiles may have melted into one of Israel’s most important military air bases. This was confirmed on Saturday evening by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF). The IDF confirms that two of its air bases were hit in Iran’s missile attack. Some sources claim that over 20 fighters were destroyed in the attack. Israel, for its part, has denied that the attack had major consequences for them. Now they state that the attack has not affected whether the air bases can do their job. On high alert on the first anniversary, Israel states that the hostilities in which it is engaged continue. In recent days, the country has been involved in active hostilities both with Hezbollah in Lebanon, in the Gaza Strip and against the Houthis in Yemen. The Israeli Defense Forces say on Saturday evening that they have killed around 440 Hezbollah fighters after they launched a limited ground invasion into Lebanon. – We have destroyed large parts of the arsenal of missiles and rockets that Hezbollah had built up over several years. We have reversed the direction and balance of the war, says Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday evening in a televised speech, according to the AFP news agency.
