Fierce Israeli strikes
Israel launched a series of intense overnight airstrikes on the densely populated southern suburbs of Beirut, including areas near the international airport. The Israeli military carried out 11 consecutive raids, described as its most aggressive attack yet on the Lebanese capital, according to a Hezbollah-affiliated source who spoke to the AFP news agency.
Israeli media reported that the target of the strikes was Hashem Safieddine, a senior Hezbollah leader and possible successor to Hassan Nasrallah, who was reportedly killed by Israel last week. Neither Israel nor Hezbollah has issued official statements regarding the attacks.
Israel has frequently struck southern Beirut neighborhoods such as Dahiyeh, a Hezbollah stronghold, as part of its ongoing conflict with the Iran-backed group. The latest wave of attacks left flames and smoke rising from the area, as captured by various news outlets.
Photos showed residents running for cover, wounded individuals being carried away, and buildings in flames in areas like Mreijeh and Chiyah. The aftermath revealed widespread destruction, with people inspecting the damage in the affected neighborhoods, which have been hit hard in this latest round of violence.
This attack marks a significant escalation in the hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah, amid broader regional tensions involving Iran and its allies.
