Israel is on high alert amid the high holiday of Yom Kippur, during which Israelis cease all activity from sundown for 25 hours.
Yesterday (11/10) at least 60 people were killed and 168 injured yesterday, by the Israeli strikes, most of them in the southern suburbs of Beirut according to the Lebanese Ministry of Health.
Lebanese authorities recorded 57 airstrikes in various parts of the country, most of them near the border with Israel, in the southern suburbs of Beirut and east, in the Bekaa Valley.
According to the Lebanese Ministry of Health, since the start of the war in Gaza, a year ago, 2,229 people have been killed and 10,380 injured in Israeli attacks.
Due to hostilities between the Israeli army and Hezbollah fighters, some 187,000 people were forced to flee their homes and seek safe havens in other parts of Lebanon, while another 430,000 displaced people crossed the border into Syria.
This is not Gaza. This is Lebanon now…
Imagine living in a world where you could get arrested or suspended for saying don’t kill children, because it will offend the killers. pic.twitter.com/B8RYVbdDA4

In the target nursing home
A nursing home in the city of Herzliya, north of Tel Aviv, was heavily damaged in an attack launched by Lebanon’s Hezbollah on Friday night, according to a report in the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth. No injuries were reported.
The Israeli Armed Forces (IDF) announced that two drones were spotted in the area’s airspace, minutes after the warning sirens sounded.
Israeli fighters took off and shot down one drone, but it is not clear why it was not possible to intercept the second one.
In the IDF update, it is emphasized that the exact circumstances under which the building in the city of Herzliya was hit are being investigated. A fire broke out at the scene, causing a power outage in districts of the city.
