Arabic version: إسرائيل تشن غارات جوية في جنوب بيروت تستهدف حزب الله

Israel strikes southern suburbs of Lebanon’s capital Beirut, targeting what it claims are Hezbollah headquarters. Multiple explosions were reported in the area, with videos showing the aftermath of the strikes.

According to Al Jazeera, Lebanese media outlets reported that residential apartments were also affected by the strikes, raising concerns about civilian casualties.

The attack comes just days after a conversation between US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, where Trump reportedly stated that Beirut was off limits as part of ongoing negotiations with Iran. This context adds a layer of complexity to the situation, indicating potential diplomatic ramifications.

The incident marks a significant escalation in tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, as both sides remain on high alert following previous confrontations in the region.
