Israeli air strikes on Lebanon intensify | BBC News

A fresh wave of air strikes rocked Lebanon's capital Beirut on Friday, as Israel continued its battle against Lebanese armed group Hezbollah.

One of the huge explosions was heard just outside the city's international airport, which borders Dahieh - Hezbollah's stronghold in the capital.

Multiple US media reports, citing Israeli officials, said a key target was Hashem Safieddine, considered to be the potential successor of Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah's long-standing leader who was killed in a similar attack last week. Safieddine's condition is unknown.

BBC was excited when Iran sent 400 missiles but today they are sad again.

When archeologists dug out the artifacts dated 4000 BCE, they've found that the "Tensions were high" even in those times in this region.

"This attack came without warning"
They've been warning literally for days

Everyone killed in this conflict is always either a doctor, a medic, an innocent bystander its never a combatant which makes me doubt these stories

Beautiful Lebanon.  Why did you give your soul and your land to Iran?

BBC is so objective. Reporting from, discussing and talking to people in both sides of the conflict: Hezbolla and Hizballa.
