Dozens of Israeli air raid targeted residential areas in the southern suburb of Beirut, specifically Mrayjeh, igniting a series of loud explosions that reverberated throughout the city. Witnesses reported that the blasts were so powerful they could be heard as far away as Sidon and Tyre.

The strikes occurred in proximity to Beirut International Airport. Notably, the focused site is situated in a densely populated residential neighborhood, raising concerns over civilian safety. Additional bombings were also reported in areas close to residential regions and a school in Hadath, further amplifying fears of collateral damage.

As the night wore on, around 3:00 AM local time, media reported flames rising from the location of the airstrikes, while Israeli drones continued to patrol overhead, leaving residents in a state of heightened anxiety. Sources indicate that the targeted locations included hospitals and emergency service facilities, marking one of the most severe assaults in the ongoing conflict.

Israeli airstrikes have intensified dramatically in recent days, with reports of nearly 20 bombings occurring within a single day. The Israeli occupation military appears to be conducting these operations in the dead of night, intensifying the terror experienced by civilians in the affected areas.

These air raids are part of a broader campaign that has included attempts at incursions into Lebanese border towns. However, the Islamic Resistance group in Lebanon has managed to thwart several of these attempts, inflicting significant losses on Israeli occupation forces; just on Thursday, 17 soldiers were reportedly ambushed.
