The Israel Protection Forces (IDF) dropped extra bombs on Beirut on Sunday, inflicting a big explosion within the Lebanese capital.
The air raids continued into the evening as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to redouble the combat in opposition to Hezbollah, which has been firing rockets and mortar shells into northern Israel.
Al Jazeera correspondent Laura Khan reported “a completely huge explosion” in Beirut’s southern suburbs, including that she has seen not less than two strikes.
Movies posted to social media present a vibrant blaze adopted by a strong blast.
In a message of X, the Israeli military mentioned that it was putting Hezbollah targets in Beirut.
The IDF intensified the bombing of Lebanon in late September and has since launched floor raids throughout the border. West Jerusalem mentioned that the aim of the operation is to make northern Israel secure for the return of some 70,000 residents who fled from Hezbollah assaults.
Greater than 2,000 individuals have been killed in Lebanon and over 1.2 million have been displaced since Israel launched its Operation Northern Arrows on September 23, in response to the Lebanese Well being Ministry.
