People from all walks of life in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) have extended their heartfelt congratulations and voiced their support and solidarity for the motherland's further development as China will embrace the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China (PRC) on Oct 1.

"Hong Kong is now immersed in a vibrant festive atmosphere as the 75th anniversary of the founding of the PRC draws near. The Hong Kong SAR government has organized over 400 events, and the streets are already adorned with various decorations. I believe this year's celebratory spirit will be the strongest since Hong Kong's return to the motherland in 1997," said Tu Haiming, deputy head of the Committee on Liaison with Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Overseas Chinese of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC).

He wished prosperity and stability for the the motherland, hoping for steady growth and a bright future for both the Hong Kong and the Macao SARs under the "one country, two systems" principle.

"I would like to extend my best wishes to the motherland.

"I was born here in Hong Kong. My early years were in Shanghai. And I've seen the extraordinary progress of China. It's wonderful to see. And especially when you measure it in the progress which takes place in the mainland, it's quite extraordinary. I send my warm congratulations," said Michael Kadoorie, chairman of the Hongkong and Shanghai Hotels Ltd. and CLP Holdings Ltd.

The death toll from Israeli attacks on Lebanon since the beginning of the latest round of Israeli-Hezbollah conflict has reached 3,287, with injuries rising to 14,222, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry on Monday.

The Israeli army conducted multiple airstrikes on the southern suburbs of Beirut on Tuesday. A medical complex building was targeted in one of the strikes, and currently, there are no reports of casualties from this airstrike.

The Israeli forces also struck a house east of Beirut. The Lebanese Health Ministry announced that the attacks have resulted in 5 deaths.

On the same day, Herzi Halevi, chief of staff of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), stated that the IDF has already eliminated significant combat capabilities of Hezbollah. He noted that the IDF is conducting strikes both deep inside Lebanon and frequently targeting the Syria-Lebanon border area, making it difficult for Hezbollah militants to acquire weapons, which is crucial for achieving tactical objectives.

Also on Tuesday, Hezbollah released a statement claiming that under their fierce resistance, Israeli forces had withdrawn from most areas along the western section of the temporary Lebanon-Israel border. Recently, they launched long-range attacks against 33 strategic targets inside Israel.

The statement asserted that Hezbollah has the capability to fight against Israeli forces for an extended period, and that Israel's operations would end in failure.
