As the Israeli military campaign in Lebanon is now in its second week, dozens of people have been killed in Israeli airstrikes targeting residential areas in southern Lebanon.

In the Ain al-Dalb area east of Sidon, more than 40 people were killed and 70 others, including displaced people from villages in southern Lebanon, were injured in an Israeli strike that targeted the four-storey apartment building where they were living or sheltering on Sunday afternoon.

Rescue teams are continuing the search for missing people under the rubble.

"All our ambulances, rescue and firefighting vehicles were mobilized, and we rescued 20 wounded and 40 martyrs at night, and up to now with the help of the Lebanese Civil Defense and the Health Authority teams, the rescue teams are still searching for the remaining bodies of the martyrs at the site of the raid," said Hatem Yassin, a paramedic of Al-Risalah Health Ambulance Society.

"This targeting exposes the Zionist face to the international community, which must see the criminal enemy that commits massacres against humanity. Today this massacre is the biggest massacre in Lebanon," said Hussam AL-Eilani, a cleric.

In the southern Lebanese city of Tyre, Israeli warplanes carried out airstrikes on Saturday and Sunday, targeting a residential area near Hiram Hospital and another in the Masaken neighborhood.

"We are in a residential, commercial and clinic area, and between Jabal Amel and Hiram hospitals, and it was this area that was targeted. This enemy wants nothing but killing and extermination to reach the stage of displacing all those who remain, and breaking the will of steadfastness, resistance and patience," said Hassan Ezzeddine, a member of the Lebanese Parliament for Hezbollah. At least 105 people were killed and 359 others injured on Sunday in Israeli airstrikes on Lebanon, the Lebanese Ministry of Health announced.

In one strike in Beirut on Monday, Israel assassinated three leaders of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, including the head of the military security department and a member of the political bureau, Muhammad Abdel Aal.

Crews from Abu Dhabi TV and the Saudi state-owned Al Arabiya channel are about to wrap up filming on the "Charming Beijing" TV series, a program that explores some of the most significant landmarks of China's capital.

The visiting film crews chose Beijing's administrative center in Tongzhou district as their first stop.

Three cultural landmarks located by the Grand Canal, namely the Beijing Performing Arts Center, the Grand Canal Museum of Beijing and Beijing City Library, and the soon-to-be-completed Beijing Integrated Transportation Hub at the Sub-Center Station beautifully showcase the fusion of culture and innovation in China's capital.

"The integrated transport hub of the Beijing Sub-Center boasts a huge railway network that connects multiple areas of Beijing. There are many layers underground, which is amazing. This has reached world standards in terms of transportation. We are all in awe at China's tremendous economic, technological, tourism, and cultural development," said Mohammed Abdulkareem, a host for Abu Dhabi TV.

During their nine-day stay in Beijing, the "Charming Beijing" production team also visited autonomous driving enterprises in Beijing E-Town, the National New Energy Vehicle Technology Innovation Center, and the International Robotics Industrial Park.

"We (the UAE and Chinese people) are both generous, hardworking, and committed to doing our best in every field, not only in economy and culture but also in sports. China has achieved good results in many sports events. These similarities bring us closer. We hope to establish more partnerships and yield more results hand-in-hand in the future," said Abdulkareem.

The "Charming Beijing" TV Series is supported by the city of Beijing's information office and China Media Group. It is set to air on TV channels in Abu Dhabi and Saudi Arabia at the end of this year.

Since 2019, production teams from Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar, Russia, Japan, Serbia, Italy, Croatia, and the Republic of Korea have been invited to film in Beijing.
