Israel carried out an airstrike during the night, between September 29 and 30, near the Kola intersection in downtown Beirut. This was also the first bombing in the heart of the Lebanese capital, and the target was a residential building. The preliminary balance is 4 killed and several wounded.
This is reported by "The Guardian", specifying that it is the first time that Israel has hit Beirut outside the southern suburbs since the beginning of the war. The sound of the explosion was heard throughout the city.
Kola crossing is a popular landmark in Beirut, where taxis and buses gather to pick up passengers. The first images of the raid show two floors of a building completely destroyed. Until now, Israel had limited its attacks on the Lebanese capital to its southern suburbs, writes "La Repubblica".
An Israeli drone also fired on a group of people at the intersection of the towns of Arzoun and Chehour in the Tire district of southern Lebanon. Three people were left dead and one injured. This is what Al Jazeera writes.
And according to local news reports, at least five people were killed after Israeli attacks in the city of Sahmar, in the western Bekaa Valley. All the deaths belonged to Islamic Health Authority civil defense personnel.
