Two large explosions rocked Beirut following two consecutive Israeli airstrikes.
One of these raids targeted the Ras el Nabeh – Noueiri area, in the heart of the capital. It was not preceded by any warning.
A four-story building was destroyed. According to a preliminary report from the Lebanese Ministry of Health, three people were killed and 26 others were injured.
Meanwhile, the southern suburbs of Beirut are subject to a high-intensity ring of fire.
The Israeli army confirmed having targeted 20 Hezbollah sites in two minutes in Beirut and its suburbs, namely cash warehouses and branches of the al-Qard al-Hassan foundation.
Six calls for evacuation were sent by the Arabic-speaking spokesperson for the Israeli army Avichae Adraee to the residents of twenty buildings in the southern suburbs of Beirut located in the neighborhoods of Hadath, Bourj al Brajneh, Ghobeiri and Haret Hreik while airstrikes also targeted other areas not mentioned in the calls.
Israeli Army Radio said a “final, massive air attack is expected in the coming hours on Hezbollah infrastructure in the southern suburbs of Beirut.”
