A source close to Hezbollah says an Israeli strike targeted a warehouse next to Beirut airport Thursday, the latest raid since Israel stepped up its offensive against the terror group last week.
“An Israeli airstrike targeted a warehouse adjacent to the airport,” the source tells AFP, requesting anonymity to discuss sensitive matters, without giving details on what the building contained.
The report comes after Lebanese media reported two separate Israeli strikes today in Beirut’s southern suburb, a Hezbollah stronghold known as Dahiyeh.
