Israel’s army said it attacked targets in the suburbs south of Beirut again last night. The airstrikes hit weapons depots in the suburbs, which are considered a stronghold of the Shiite militia Hezbollah, the military said. The army destroyed “terrorist infrastructure” in southern Lebanon. The information could not be independently verified.
The Lebanese state news agency NNA reported a serious attack in the suburb of Haret Hreik. The Hezbollah-affiliated Al-Majadin television station reported an air strike on a residential building. The Israeli military had previously asked residents there to leave the area immediately because of impending attacks. According to eyewitnesses, there were at least six attacks in the southern suburbs of the capital during the night.
The attacks also continued in the south of the country. Israel’s military said it had killed two pro-Iranian Hezbollah commanders there. According to the army, they were responsible for firing numerous rockets and projectiles into the north of Israel, particularly into the town of Kiriat Shmona, which directly borders Lebanon. This information could not be independently verified either.
