An Israeli airstrike has hit a building in a southern suburb of Beirut on Tuesday afternoon, a Hezbollah TV station reported. There was no immediate word on any casualties.
Al-Manar TV, which belongs to Lebanon’s militant Hezbollah group, reported the airstrike on the suburb of Ghobeiri, without giving any details.
The attack came after a Monday evening airstrike missed Ali Karaki, Hezbollah’s top military commander in south Lebanon, the group said.
An Israeli airstrike on a nearby area on Friday killed 55 people, including top Hezbollah military commander Ibrahim Akil and 15 other Hezbollah members .Israeli military reports 10 more rockets fired from Lebanon
Israel’s military says that 10 more rockets from Lebanon were fired into Israeli territory on Tuesday afternoon, injuring a reservist and raining shrapnel onto a road in northern Israel.
The rockets came in two volleys, the first targeting the Upper Galilee area and the second an area south of Haifa known as Eliakim. Rocket fragments from a rocket that was intercepted injured the Israeli soldier, the military said.
Hezbollah said it had fired middle-range rockets at an Israeli army position in Eliakim.
Israel’s military has now said that there have been at least 110 rockets fired into Israeli territory from Lebanon since Tuesday morning. Israeli strikes across the border have killed over 550 people in Lebanon since Monday.
