Description

The aftermath of an attack on a three-storey building in the al-Qaima neighborhood in Beirut's southern suburbs was seen on Thursday, with reports from Lebanon's Ministry of Health of two killed and 15 injured.

Footage shows the destroyed building and damaged cars, as well as Lebanese security forces and locals.

Israel confirmed that it had targeted Mohammed Hussein Srour, who it claimed was the 'commander of Hezbollah’s drone unit’. Hezbollah had not commented on the attack at the time of publication.

Last Monday, the Israeli army launched intensive raids on large areas of Lebanon as part of ‘Operation Northern Arrows.’

The Israeli military began 'Operation Northern Arrows' on Monday, with airstrikes on Hezbollah locations. Over 600 people have been killed in total and more than 2,000 injured at time of publication, according to Lebanon. Hezbollah has also launched rocket strikes into northern Israel.

Israeli Chief of the General Staff Herzi Halevi told troops on Wednesday that the strikes were "both to prepare the ground for your possible entry and to continue degrading Hezbollah", hinting at a potential ground invasion.

Tensions in southern Lebanon have escalated over the past week, following mass pager and handheld radio explosions, which Hezbollah blamed on Israel. The IDF did not comment.

Hezbollah and Israeli forces have been exchanging cross border fire since the start of the Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza in October 2023.
