An Israeli strike hit the central area of Ras El-Nabaa in Beirut, Lebanon on Thursday, according to reports from Lebanon’s State media. This marks the third attack on the capital since Israel escalated its air campaign last month. While Israel has typically targeted the southern suburbs of Dahiyeh, which is known as a Hezbollah stronghold, strikes in central Beirut have been less common.
The attack comes amidst heightened tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, with the two sides engaging in clashes and attacks. Al Jazeera’s Dorsa Jabbari reported live from Beirut to provide updates on the situation. The strike in central Beirut has raised concerns about the escalation of violence and the impact it could have on the already fragile situation in Lebanon.
Military and security analyst Elijah Magnier joined the discussion in the studio to provide insights into the latest developments. The attack in Ras El-Nabaa is just the latest in a series of incidents that have raised fears of further conflict between Israel and Hezbollah.
The situation in Beirut remains fluid and unpredictable, with residents on edge as they await further updates and information on the aftermath of the strike. As tensions continue to simmer between Israel and Hezbollah, the international community will be watching closely to see how the situation unfolds in the coming days.
