Israeli air attacks have rained down on three neighborhoods in Beirut, Lebanese state media reported, as the beleaguered nation says more than one million have been displaced since this punishing front in the wider regional war began more than two weeks ago.
“A series of raids and artillery shelling targeted southern towns at dawn,” Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA) said on Tuesday.
“Israeli warplanes carried out two air strikes targeting the Kafaat and Haret Hreik areas” in the capital Beirut, and another air strike on a residential apartment building in the Doha Aramoun area, NNA added.
Israel’s army also carried out an air strike on a road near the Ansar Stadium in the Burj al-Barajneh area, close to Beirut International Airport, the head of Lebanon’s Civil Aviation Authority said according to NNA.
Israeli attacks have killed at least 886 people, including 67 women and 111 children, since the start of the renewed fighting with Iran-aligned Hezbollah, Lebanon’s Health Ministry said Monday, adding that 2,141 others have been wounded.
