A Lebanese security source announced on Friday, September 20, that an Israeli strike had targeted the southern suburbs of Beirut, a Hezbollah stronghold, a few days after the spectacular attack that targeted the Lebanese Islamist movement’s transmission devices.
This is the third strike on the southern suburbs of Beirut claimed or attributed to Israel since on October 8, Hezbollah opened the southern Lebanese front against Israel, “in support” of the Palestinian Hamas, in its war against Israel in the Gaza Strip.
“Israel carried out an airstrike against the southern suburbs of Beirut near the Al-Qaem mosque,” the source told AFP, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The Israeli army, for its part, announced on Friday that it had carried out a “targeted strike” on Beirut without specifying the nature of the strike or the means used. A source close to Hezbollah claims that the head of its elite unit was killed.
Hezbollah’s al-Manar channel broadcast live footage from the scene of the attack, showing ambulances rushing to the scene of the strike and carrying wounded people on stretchers.
The official Lebanese news agency (ANI) reported “an enemy raid targeting an apartment in a residential building in the Al-Jamous area, in the southern suburbs” of Beirut.
