Can I jack my car up from the front tow hooks?


My 2006 Honda Accord has two tow hooks in the front located in front of/near both of the front two wheels. Is it safe to jack up the car from there and then put the jack stands on the pinch welds? My jack doesn't reach the solid metal piece running across from one tire to the other.

The jack also does not have a wide enough lift to properly jack up from the pinch welds, they keep slipping/folding when jacking it up from there.
Added (1). It also looks like the hooks are welded to the frame of the car
