WATCH: Israeli Drone STRIKE Captured On Video | Target Vehicle OBLITERATED In South Beirut Blast

Chilling new video captures the exact moment an Israeli drone strike destroyed a vehicle on a busy civilian road in Khaldeh, south of Beirut. The targeted attack, which took place amidst regular traffic, resulted in the death of one individual and left three others injured. The incident has sent shockwaves through the region and raised fears of a wider conflict. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) swiftly claimed responsibility for the strike. In a public statement, the IDF claimed it had successfully targeted and eliminated a militant affiliated with Iran’s Quds Force. According to Israeli military sources, the individual killed was deeply involved in smuggling weapons into the region and was actively planning terror attacks against both Israeli civilians and military forces. However, neither Israeli nor Lebanese officials have officially released the name or confirmed the identity of the person killed. This strike is not an isolated event but the latest in a series of escalating Israeli military actions in Lebanon following the collapse of a ceasefire weeks ago. On July 2, another Israeli airstrike in a civilian zone in Nabatieh injured two people, including a child. Furthermore, Israeli troops recently conducted a raid in the Al-Adisa area, targeting Hezbollah fighters. This pattern of conflict was also seen on June 28, when an Israeli drone strike in Kounine killed three people, including senior Hezbollah leader Hassan Hammoudi. These continuous strikes are fueling a volatile situation on the Israel-Lebanon border. #Israel #Lebanon #DroneStrike #Beirut #Khaldeh #IDF #QudsForce #Hezbollah #MiddleEast #BreakingNews #PressTV #UAVStrike #CivilianCasualties #Netanyahu #Iran #LebanonConflict #TerrorPlot #IDFStrike #BeirutBlast #SouthBeirut #Airstrike #IDFOperations #GazaWar #IsraelIran #ConflictZone #LiveFire #LebanonNews #DroneFootage #HezbollahTarget #StrikeAlert #CeasefireCollapse ~HT.318~ED.346~GR.122~

Al-Qassam Brigades' Disturbing VIDEO Shows Israeli Troops Trapped & Bombed Near Khan Younis

The Al-Qassam and Al-Aqsa Brigades launched a brutal joint assault on Israeli troops in Khan Younis, using short-range rockets and 60mm mortar shells to pound IDF positions. Footage shows Israeli soldiers trapped under relentless fire in Kaf al-Qarara. These attacks are part of a renewed wave of ambushes and explosive tactics. Despite intense Israeli offensives, Hamas reportedly retains a force of 20,000 fighters and remains operationally strong across Gaza, continuing to challenge IDF advances on multiple fronts. #Hamas #AlQassamBrigades #AlAqsaBrigades #IDF #GazaWar #KhanYounis #IsraelGazaConflict #RocketAttack #MortarStrike #AmbushTactics #MiddleEastConflict #BreakingNews #IDFUnderFire #GazaFighting #PalestineResistance #MilitaryClashes #GazaStrip #HamasAttack #IsraelUnderFire #WarFootage #TerrorOrResistance #QassamVsIDF #CombatFootage #LiveCombat #GazaNews #TrappedSoldiers #ExplosiveTactics #AlQudsBrigades #WarInGaza Also Read Hamas Leader Muhammad Sinwar Killed In Israel's Air Strike :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/hamas-leader-muhammad-sinwar-killed-in-israels-air-strike-4156915.html?ref=DMDesc Hamas Releases US-Israeli Hostage Edan Alexander Ahead of Trump’s Middle East Visit :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/hamas-releases-us-israeli-hostage-edan-alexander-ahead-of-trump-s-middle-east-visit-4151571.html?ref=DMDesc Pakistan Launches Hamas-Style Missile Attack on Jammu; All Intercepted By Indian Air Defence :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pakistan-launches-hamas-style-missile-attack-on-jammu-all-intercepted-by-indian-air-defence-4147919.html?ref=DMDesc

Booby-Trapped House Erupts in Flames: IDF Troops Killed in Ruthless Ambush |RPGs, Thaqeb  Bombs Used [Video]

Booby-Trapped House Erupts in Flames: IDF Troops Killed in Ruthless Ambush |RPGs, Thaqeb Bombs Used

A deadly ambush in eastern Khan Younis has left multiple Israeli soldiers dead after Palestinian resistance fighters detonated powerful explosives inside a booby-trapped house. Al-Quds Brigades and Islamic Jihad forces launched coordinated strikes using RPGs, barrel bombs, and the devastating “Thaqeb” device to destroy Israeli armor, including a Merkava tank. The Israeli military scrambled helicopters for evacuation under heavy fire as reinforcements came under attack. This marks a major escalation in guerrilla-style warfare inside Gaza, with Palestinian factions warning of more complex and lethal operations ahead. The IDF has acknowledged rising casualties—but Palestinian sources claim the real numbers are much higher.
