01:17Cars and motorcycles were lined up outside gas stations in the Lebanese capital of Beirut, on Saturday night and Sunday as Iran launched an large-scale attack on Israel reportedly involving dozens of drones and missiles.
Footage captures several long queues of cars outside fuel stations in Beirut. According to local media, gas stations in all Lebanese areas experienced overcrowding amid fears of a breakdown of security in the wake of the Iranian attack.
In the morning hours, the congestion in front of the stations receded.
Lebanon involved in the Iranian attack as local media released footage depicting the intercept of missiles in the airspace of Lebanese cities.
There has been no comment from the IDF on this issue.
Ali Hamiyeh, the Minister of Public Works and Transport in the Lebanese Caretaker Government, wrote on X (formerly Twitter) that Lebanon has temporarily and as a precautionary step closed the nation's airspace. The decision was implemented from 1:00 AM to 7:00 AM (Local time) on Sunday encompassing all coming, outgoing, and transit flights over Lebanon.
Late Saturday night, Iran launched an attack on Israel using dozens of drones and missiles. The Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) announced the bombardment of 'important military targets' of the IDF.
The White House has pledged US support to Israel in defending itself, while Tehran responded by warning the US administration of 'any support and participation in hitting Iran's interests'.
According to the Israeli military, Iran has fired over 300 drones and missiles into Israel since Saturday, most of which have been intercepted both in and outside Israel according to IDF spokesperson Daniel Hagari.
Iranian drones were observed in Iraq and Jordan's skies following the announcement of the closure of airspace of both countries. Iranian drones have been intercepted in the skies of Jordan, and the remains of an Iranian missile landed in Amman's capital according to media reports.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu affirmed, before the attack on Saturday, that Israel's defence systems are prepared for any scenario, to respond to a direct attack both defensively and offensively.
"We have determined a clear principle: Whoever harms us, we will harm them. We will defend ourselves against any threat," he added.
Tehran has vowed to retaliate after it accused Israel of having carried out an airstrike on its consulate in Damascus on April 1, which has killed seven Revolutionary Guard officers, including two of its top commanders.
