JERUSALEM - Hundreds of Beirut residents fled their homes late on Oct 20 with multiple explosions heard across the Lebanese capital, as Israel prepared to attack sites linked to the financial operations of Lebanon’s Hezbollah group and told people to leave those areas immediately.
Cross-border fighting between Israel and Hezbollah erupted a year ago when the group began launching rockets in support of Palestinian militant group Hamas in Gaza.in an attempt to stabilise the border region for its citizens who had fled rocket attacks in northern Israel.
A 41-year-old Israeli colonel was killed, and another officer was wounded in combat in northern Gaza on Oct 20, the Israeli military said. Officials said rescuers were still recovering people from the rubble after an Israeli attack on the northern Gaza city of Beit Lahiya that left 87 people dead or missing on Oct 19, according to the health ministry - one of the highest death tolls for months from a single attack.
