New blast rocks southern Beirut
In the last few minutes another massive explosion rocked the southern suburbs of Beirut. During the nights there are warnings. During the days there are no warnings.
The area where the massive air strike took place a few hours ago is the same place that the Israeli warplanes have been hitting since Thursday. It’s adjacent to the international airport, though the airport is still working.
The whole area was shaking when the attacks happened, and the road that leads to the airport has also been hit twice by the Israeli warplanes.
Across the southern suburb, there have been several places that were attacked by the Israeli drones or aircraft, and still the emergency services are being prevented from getting close to that area.
