These events occurred after Israel carried out a wave of intense airstrikes on the southern suburbs of Beirut. The strikes triggered enormous explosions, sending fireballs into the sky and filling the area with thick clouds of smoke.
The airstrikes hit a structure close to a road leading to Lebanon’s international airport, as well as a separate building that was once occupied by the Hezbollah-affiliated broadcaster, Al-Manar. The Lebanese Health Ministry has so far not released any information on the casualty count following the Israeli strikes.
