Lebanon reported four deaths, including a child, after an Israeli air strike targeted an area near a major hospital in southern Beirut late Monday. The attack left 24 others injured and sent shockwaves through the city. 🏥💥
According to the Lebanese Health Ministry, the strike hit the parking lot of Rafik Hariri University Hospital – a critical healthcare hub. A hospital source described scenes of chaos as staff scrambled to treat the wounded under flickering emergency lights. 🚨
This was one of 13 reported strikes across southern Beirut that evening. Israel’s military stated it was targeting facilities linked to Hezbollah, though no specific militant casualties were confirmed. The escalation follows weeks of cross-border tensions between Israel and Lebanese armed groups.
Residents living near the hospital shared viral videos showing shattered car windows and debris-strewn streets. “This wasn’t just an attack on buildings – it’s an attack on people trying to heal,” said one local via social media.
As global leaders call for restraint, young activists are organizing blood drives and trauma support networks across Beirut. Will this violence trigger wider conflict? Stay tuned for updates. 📱🔍
