At least eight Israeli raids reported in southern Beirut
The air raids targeted several neighbourhoods in the Lebanese capital’s southern suburbs, including Laylaki, al-Marija, Harert Hreik and Burj al-Barahneh, the National News Agency says.
Israeli warplanes have been launching “new and powerful” raids there, the NNA said, shortly after it ordered residents of the area to evacuate their homes.
“Thick smoke and flames are rising in the suburb’s sky,” the NNA said, adding that the raids have so far destroyed several residential buildings.
Residents in Beirut tell Al Jazeera that these are the loudest strikes heard in the capital yet.
