Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, is again the target of Israeli airstrikes.
Southern parts
The Israel Defense Forces said they targeted southern parts of the Lebanese capital on Tuesday.
The IDF said it carried out “targeted” airstrikes on a Hezbollah stronghold in Beirut.
Casualties are yet to be known.
Elimination of officials
As the Guardian reports, an airstrike was carried out on Dahieh, a southern suburb of Beirut. This is the second day in a row and the third time this week that Israel has attacked the civilian areas in Beirut.
Reuters, citing security sources, stated that the target of the attack was a senior Hezbollah official. The top floor of a residential building in the Ghobeiry neighborhood was hit, and videos and pictures from the scene show a collapsed roof with a large plume of smoke billowing from it.
Also yesterday, Israel carried out what it said was a “targeted attack” on Dahieh, trying to eliminate the third-in-command of Hezbollah’s military wing, Ali Karaki.
Hezbollah said in a statement that Karaki survived the blast.
