An Israeli airstrike caused a large explosion near Beirut’s airport in the southern suburbs of the Lebanese capital on Monday. Significant plumes of smoke were observed rising from the southern Dahiyeh neighbourhood following the strike, while planes continued to depart and land at Beirut’s international airport.
Israeli military spokesperson Avichay Adraee stated that the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) conducted a precise attack in Beirut and mentioned that more details would follow. It’s unclear whether the incident Adraee was referring to is the same strike in southern Beirut.
