Israeli airstrikes continued across southern Lebanon and Beirut’s southern suburbs on Sunday, causing dozens of casualties and widespread destruction.
In the Jnah area of Beirut’s southern suburbs, a strike targeted a three-story residential building in a densely populated neighborhood near the Rafic Hariri University Hospital, killing four people and wounding 39 others, according to a preliminary figure from the Health Ministry Emergency Operations Center. Another strike hit a fuel station in the Al-Jamous area.
The Israeli military issued an urgent warning to residents of Beirut’s southern suburbs —including Haret Hreik, Ghobeiry, Laylaki, Hadath, Burj al-Barajneh, Tahwitat al-Ghadir, and Chiyah— stating it would continue operations against alleged Hezbollah military infrastructure in the area.
