Lebanon’s official National News Agency says an Israeli strike this evening hit a center of Islamist group al-Jama’a al-Islamiyya, or Islamic Group, in central Beirut.
“Israeli warplanes launched a strike on the Mar Elias area of the capital Beirut,” the NNA says, adding that it “targeted a Jamaa Islamiya center,” referring to a Sunni Muslim group allied to Palestinian terror group Hamas and Lebanon’s Hezbollah.
