In a dramatic turn of events, a fireball was seen illuminating the sky above Lebanon’s capital overnight, following a significant strike on the city.
Initial reports indicate that the explosion may have impacted a petrol station, as suggested by military assessments.
The blast occurred shortly after Israeli military officials urged residents in a southern suburb to evacuate, heightening concerns in the area.
A local reporter on the scene reported hearing multiple blasts, accompanied by the distinct sound of drones overhead.
This explosion is part of a series of escalating tensions, with recent Israeli strikes in the city, while Hezbollah has retaliated by launching numerous rockets into northern Israel.
