MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Israeli strikes on Beirut suburbs have killed relatives of Ahmed Mohammed, who works as correspondent for Sputnik news agency, the editor-in-chief of the Rossiya Segodnya international media group and the RT broadcaster, Margarita Simonyan, said on Monday.
"Our Sputnik correspondent in Lebanon, Ahmed Mohammed, lost relatives following an IDF [Israel Defense Forces] strike on a multi-story building in the suburbs of Beirut. Ahmed's relatives lived in this building. Two of them died, the fate of two others is unknown, and three are in serious condition in the hospital. Our condolences to Ahmed and his family," Simonyan said on Telegram.
Israel began carrying out massive strikes on southern and eastern Lebanon on Monday. IDF Chief of the General Staff Herzi Halevi labeled the offensive operation in Lebanon "Northern Arrows." The death toll from the bombardments exceeded 1,500, the Lebanese Health Ministry said. Hezbollah, in turn, fired dozens of rockets toward northern Israel.
