Israel launches fresh attack on Bint Jbeil, southern Lebanon

Israel has launched a bombing on the village of Haddatha in the Bint Jbeil district of southern Lebanon, according to the Lebanese state-run National News Agency. The attack was described as "massive".

In a separate incident, Israeli security forces arrested 27 suspects in raids on homes in Ashdod and Kiryat Gat. The arrests were the result of a months-long undercover operation that targeted criminal networks in the two cities.

A Beersheba resident was also arrested by Jerusalem area Border Police on Tuesday morning for transporting 11 Palestinian residents of the West Bank into Israel, who were also arrested. The Palestinians were found hiding behind a pile of tires in the back of the resident's vehicle at a border crossing.
