Beirut's Southern Suburbs Targeted in Largest Israeli Airstrikes in Years, Civilians Urged to Evacuate

Massive Israeli airstrikes on Beirut's southern suburbs late Thursday have been described as larger in scale than the one that assassinated Hezbollah Secrerary-General Hassan Nasrallah, according to security sources cited by Reuters. 

 


The loud explosions were heard across the Lebanese capital, reaching areas outside of Beirut, with heavy smoke rising from the site.

Earlier, the Israeli army issued an evacuation warning to civilians in the Dahieh neighborhood, publishing two maps showing where the orders were in place.
