Israel bombs southern suburbs of Beirut
Al Jazeera
The attack marks the first time Israel struck the Lebanese capital in months.
The Israeli military has attacked the southern suburbs of Beirut, striking, it says, a Hezbollah operative in Dahiyeh.
The attack on Sunday is the latest flagrant violation of the ceasefire Israel signed with Hezbollah one year ago to end hostilities that erupted into full-blown war.
In its brief statement on X, Israel’s military did not provide any other details on what it called “a precise strike”, nor has Hezbollah commented on the incident yet.
A correspondent from Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA) reported that an enemy airstrike on the southern suburbs a short while ago targeted an apartment building in Haret Hreik. Injuries were reported, and significant damage was inflicted on cars and surrounding buildings.
Two missiles were fired at the targeted building on Al-Arid Street in Haret Hreik. Ambulances arrived immediately at the scene and transported the injured to nearby hospitals.
