These events took place after Israel carried out a wave of intense airstrikes on the southern suburbs of Beirut. The strikes triggered enormous explosions, sending fireballs into the sky and filling the area with thick clouds of smoke.

The airstrikes hit a structure as regards to a road resulting in Lebanon’s international airport, to boot to a separate building that prove to be once occupied by the Hezbollah-affiliated broadcaster, Al-Manar. The Lebanese Health Ministry has thus a very good way now no longer released any information on the casualty count following the Israeli strikes.
