BEIRUT (Sputnik) - Israeli military strikes on Beirut's southern suburb targeted two apartments in two buildings in the Tehwitat al-Ghadir area near Mreijeh, close to the Hashem gas station, with reports of casualties, the Lebanese National News Agency (NNA) reported on Sunday.
Earlier in the day, the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the Israeli army had struck Beirut's southern suburb in response to shelling by the Lebanese movement Hezbollah.
On March 2, the Hezbollah movement began rocket and drone attacks on Israel against the backdrop of the US and Israeli war against Iran. In response, Israel carried out massive airstrikes on Hezbollah targets in Beirut's southern suburbs, as well as in southern and eastern Lebanon, and launched a ground operation in the south of the country, announcing a new military campaign against the Shiite resistance.
