The temporary advance on the ground came as ‘Israeli’ warplanes pounded Beirut’s southern suburbs as well as several other areas in southern Lebanon, including the port city of Tyre.

The morning strike in Beirut hit the area of Dahiyeh.

It was not immediately clear whether there were any casualties.

The increase of violence came as Lebanese and Hezbollah officials are studying a draft proposal presented by the U.S. earlier this week on ending the war.

Since late September, Israel dramatically escalated its bombardment of Lebanon, vowing to cripple Hezbollah and end its barrages in Israel. More than 3,400 people have been killed in Lebanon by Israeli fire — 80% of them in the eight weeks — according to Lebanon’s Health Ministry.

The National News Agency added that Israeli troops detonated the Shrine of Shimon the Prophet in Chamaa as well as several homes before they withdrew under the  Islamic  Resistance hell fire.
