Israeli airstrikes hit multiple locations in southern Beirut overnight, with Lebanon’s state media reporting at least seven targeted areas as hostilities in the region continue to intensify. The attacks focused on densely populated suburbs, marking another escalation in the ongoing conflict involving regional powers.

According to Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency, the strikes targeted areas including Bir al-Abed, Al-Ruwais on the outskirts of Al-Manshiyya, Haret Hreik, Sayyed Hadi Nasrallah Highway, Saint Therese, Burj al-Barajneh, and Al-Kafaat. The report said Israeli warplanes carried out multiple raids across these المناطق, many of which are considered strongholds of Hezbollah.

The latest strikes come amid a broader regional conflict that has drawn in Lebanon following cross-border hostilities. Hezbollah began launching rockets into Israel earlier this month, citing retaliation for the killing of Ali Khamenei in a reported US-Israel operation, according to regional accounts.

In recent weeks, the Israeli military has intensified its bombardment of southern Beirut, carrying out repeated strikes not only in the suburbs but also in other parts of the capital and across Lebanon. The attacks have raised concerns about civilian safety, given the densely populated nature of the targeted المناطق.

There has been no immediate official comment from Israeli authorities on the latest overnight strikes. However, Israel has consistently maintained that its operations are aimed at neutralizing Hezbollah’s military infrastructure and preventing further rocket attacks on its territory.

The situation remains highly volatile, with fears growing that continued escalation could widen the conflict further across the Middle East. International observers have urged restraint, warning that sustained strikes in urban areas risk significant humanitarian consequences.
