Israel’s overnight air strikes hit near Beirut’s Lebanese University: Report

Lebanon’s official National News Agency (NNA) said the Israeli air strikes hit near the Lebanese University and the Burj al-Barajneh area in the city’s southern suburb.

Israeli aircraft also hit Beirut’s al-Jamous neighbourhood, which was not included in forced evacuation orders issued by Israel’s Arabic-language military spokesman, Avichay Adraee, earlier in the night.

Beirut reverberated with the sound of the missile strikes, which were followed by flames and thick black smoke that blanketed parts of the city, NAA reported.
