Things just got intense in Beirut. 🚨 A residential building in the Choueifat area—located in the southern suburbs and super close to the Beirut-Rafic Hariri International Airport—was hit by an Israeli strike on Thursday.
According to Lebanon's local television channel NBN, the strike hit a residential area, bringing the conflict closer to the heart of the city. While the Israeli military confirmed they launched a strike on Beirut, they haven't specified exactly what the target was. 📉
What makes this particularly alarming is that this is the first attack of its kind in Beirut's southern suburbs in several weeks, signaling a potential escalation in the region.
But that's not the only update. The Israeli military released a statement saying they've been ramping up operations significantly, striking more than 135 Hezbollah targets across Lebanon over the past day. 🌍💬
As the situation continues to evolve, the world is watching closely to see how these heightened military operations will impact the safety of residents and the stability of the region. ✨
