 Israel-Hezbollah War: Residential building in Lebanon comes down shattering

    Israel-Hezbollah War: Residential building in Lebanon comes down shattering

    On November 15th, Israeli Defence Forces launched airstrike in Lebanon’s Beirut. The airstrike flattened a residential building on the edge of Beirut's suburbs as the building was levelled to the ground. A large fireball and smoke could be seen billowing from the strike impact as people gathered at the scene. The strike followed 50 minutes after an Israeli evacuation warning for the area, a densely packed neighbourhood. No information about the casualties or injuries was not immediately reported from the strike. The strike came after Hezbollah fired nearly 200 rockets in Haifa on November 11 in a bid to avenge the killing of its top leaders. Lebanese militant group Hezbollah started firing rockets into Israeli border communities after Hamas’ attack in Israel on Oct 7, 2023. The unstoppable Israeli forces have nearly eliminated all the top commanders of Hezbollah and other Iranian proxies. Currently, Naim Qassem is leading an almost dismantled Hezbollah and is probably the next target of the IDF.
