 Israel ‘broadening’ Lebanon attacks.

The strike on Bashoura district happened early this morning, about 1km away from the country’s parliament, here in the capital.This is an area in the heart of Beirut.
According to the Israeli army, its forces targeted a medical facility that was affiliated with Hezbollah.

In this attack, at least nine paramedics were killed and 14 wounded.

We were at the site earlier today – there was absolute chaos and destruction.

With this strike, Israel is showing yet again that it is going after targets that they say are affiliated with Hezbollah – no longer just actual Hezbollah targeted but anything that is affiliated with this organisation.

Also, earlier today, there was another air strike that took place in the village of Kayfoun in the area of Aley in Mount Lebanon – that’s about 20km (12.4 miles) southeast of Beirut – targeting the transmission tower for Hezbollah’s al-Manar TV.

So they’re going not only after the assets, weapons and infrastructure of Hezbollah’s military wing, but also all other aspects of this group’s infrastructure, including paramedics and media offices.

They are broadening out the attacks that they’ve been carrying out to further weaken Hezbollah, not only from a military point of view.
