Israeli strike reportedly hits Beirut’s southern suburbs
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleBEIRUT, Lebanon — Lebanese media reports an Israeli strike hit Beirut’s southern suburbs, as AFP correspondents heard several explosions from the Hezbollah stronghold that Israel has repeatedly struck since the war erupted this month.
AFPTV footage shows smoke billowing from the area after the raid.
Lebanon’s official National News Agency reports that “enemy aircraft” carried out a raid on Tahouitet al-Ghadir in the southern suburbs at dawn.
Israel has previously issued sweeping evacuation warnings for the area, but provided no specific warning in advance of this morning’s strike.
The usually densely populated area has largely emptied of residents since the hostilities erupted, and it was unclear whether there were any casualties.
