Description

Six people were reported killed and 15 injured in an airstrike in the Ghubairi area in Beirut's southern suburbs on Tuesday.

Footage shows civil defence workers, army personnel, and military vehicles near the building which was heavily damaged in the attack. Ambulances were also seen driving in the area.

The Israeli army claimed to have ‘eliminated’ Hezbollah commander Muhammad Qubaisi, while Hezbollah has not confirmed or denied the IDF’s claims at the time of publication.

On Monday, the Israeli army launched ‘intensive and precise strikes against 'terrorist targets' across Lebanon, and called on civilians to evacuate from southern areas and Bakaa, with strikes continuing for a second day on Tuesday.

Lebanon's Ministry of Health reported 558 people killed and 1,835 injured at the time of publication.

Hezbollah also conducted strikes on Israeli military areas in northern Israel, with Israel media reporting more than 200 rockets fired.

Tensions escalated over the past week following the mass explosions of pagers and handheld radios used by Hezbollah, with subsequent Israeli strikes on the south of the country and rockets fired from Lebanon into Israel.
