At least 2 killed and 15 injured after Israeli strikes on Beirut’s southern suburbs.
At least two people were killed and 15 injured when Israeli warplanes struck a building in Beirut’s southern suburbs, known as Dahiyeh, on Thursday afternoon, the Lebanese Ministry of Health said.
One of those injured is a woman in a critical condition.
CNN has geolocated the scene of the strike as Haret Hreik in Dahiyeh, a densely populated area with a strong Hezbollah presence.
Israel has been launching a barrage of airstrikes across swathes of Lebanon as its conflict with Hezbollah escalates.
Israel’s military has vowed to speed up its “offensive operations” against Hezbollah without reprieve. Troops on Wednesday held exercises simulating ground combat in Lebanon, which the military has not ruled out.
Thousands of people in Lebanon have been forced to flee their homes amid the intense attacks.
