Israeli jets fly low over Beirut, with sonic booms rattling windows throughout the Lebanese capital.
Israeli fighter jets have flown over the Lebanese capital, setting off a series of sonic booms meant to intimidate the city’s population following drone attacks on northern Israel by the armed group, Hezbollah.
The low-flying planes rattled windows throughout Beirut on Tuesday, a reminder of the Israeli military’s capacity for devastation in Lebanon as Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah promised retaliation for a series of alleged Israeli assassinations.
“The Israelis chose escalation by carrying out assassinations,” Nasrallah said, adding that the group’s response would be “strong and effective” and carried out either alone or in coordination with other members of the Iran-backed “axis of resistance”.
“We will respond, but with deliberation and prudence,” the Hezbollah chief said. “Israel’s waiting for our response is part of the punishment.”
