New air attacks on Beirut’s Dahiyeh

We are getting reports of more air attacks on southern Beirut’s Dahiyeh neighbourhood.

Residents in Beirut’s southern suburbs shocked by Nasrallah’s killing

Lebanese media have released footage showing residents in Beirut’s southern suburbs breaking down in shock and grief after receiving confirmation from Hezbollah of Nasrallah’s killing.

Gunshots were heard in parts of Beirut as crowds marched shouting, “For you, Nasrallah!”

Translation: Anger and sadness among the people of the southern suburb after the announcement of the killing of Hassan Nasrallah. 


Air raid sirens sound in Tel Aviv

Air raid sirens have been heard in Tel Aviv and other parts of Israel.

 

‘Israeli air strikes still continuing and Hezbollah still fighting back’

In the last few minutes alone, two air strikes took place just west of where I’m standing. I can actually see the smoke billowing up into the air. In the last hour, several air strikes have taken place to the east of me – very large ones.

Hezbollah has also been retaliating. There were five attacks into northern Israel after the announcement that Hassan Nasrallah had been killed.

We have seen strikes continue in Tyre, which is going to be worrying to a lot of people who fled there from Marjayoun seeking safety. They thought they would be safe in Tyre. Also, we have seen strikes in Baalbek and further afield as well.

The Israeli air strikes still continuing and Hezbollah still fighting back. And it’s likely that this is going to go on into the night.

More from Lebanese officials on death toll from Israeli attacks
