Lebanon security source says planes forced to switch runways after strike near Beirut airport

A Lebanese security official tells AFP that the country’s national airline had to switch landing strips after Israeli strikes near Beirut’s only international airport hit close to the main runway.

“Middle East Airlines switched the runway it was using because the main runway is close to the site of the Ouzai strike,” the official says, requesting anonymity to discuss sensitive matters.
