Israeli opposition leader Benny Gantz urged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to attack Lebanon’s government facilities in Beirut, which so far have been spared relentless strikes.

Iran Press/West Asia: "The Lebanese government is allowing Hezbollah to operate freely. It’s time to take strong action against its infrastructure and assets," Gantz said on X.

Avi Ashkenazi, a military analyst for the Maariv newspaper, suggested in an article that the premises of the Lebanese parliament would be a viable target for the Israeli army.

“The parliament building is part of Hezbollah’s political infrastructure and could serve as a refuge for its members,” Ashkenazi said.

He also suggested that the Israeli military should destroy 10 to 20 more buildings in Beirut’s southern suburb "to ensure dominance in the area".

The Israeli military announced it attacked “12 military headquarters” in the Dahiyeh area of ​​Beirut late on Sunday.

In a post on X, the army said that among the targets hit were Hezbollah’s intelligence headquarters and its coastal missile unit. Earlier, an Israeli strike on an army center killed a Lebanese soldier and wounded 18 others in the southwest, between Tyre and Naqoura, Lebanon’s military said.

Israeli army attacks have killed more than 40 Lebanese troops since the start of the war between Israel and Hezbollah, even as Lebanon’s military has kept to the sidelines.

Today was probably the most intense day since the beginning of this war with at least 49 attacks by Hezbollah on Israeli targets – whether inside Lebanon or in Israel, Al Jazeera reporter Ali Hashem reported from Lebanon.

The Lebanese Hezbollah says it attacked Israeli soldiers in the town of Chamaa with a "suicide drone".

Hezbollah also said it targeted Israeli troops south of the city of Khiam– where there have been fierce battles in the past few days – in a drone strike.

The group says it destroyed six Israeli Merkava tanks in Lebanon’s south, five in the strategic coastal area of al-Bayada where Israeli troops later retreated from a key hilltop position.

According to the report of Al Jazeera, Hezbollah launched about 340 rockets. There’s also the Israeli ground incursion in Lebanon or what Israel calls the ground “maneuver”.

Lebanon suspended in-person classes in the Beirut area until the end of December, the Education Ministry said, citing safety concerns after a series of Israeli air strikes this week.
