A “huge fireball” has been seen in Beirut following Israeli attacks on the Lebanese capital’s southern suburbs over the past hour, the Reuters news agency reports. Footage published by the Quds News Network also shows a fire reportedly raging in a building in the Tahwitat al-Ghadir area adjacent to Beirut’s international airport.

Israeli attack near Lebanon’s ‘lifeline’ concerning
There were intense Israeli air strikes overnight targeting Beirut’s southern suburbs near its airport. It is largely empty but hundreds of buildings were levelled to the ground.
There was a strike very close to the airport – the closest yet, just a few metres from one of the runways. There was minor damage; the airport remains operational but there is concern because this is the lifeline for the country and the only commercial airport.
It is a lifeline for the people to leave and return home, and for the humanitarian aid to arrive.
