Israel says it attacked Hezbollah headquarters in Beirut suburb

Beirut, 27 September 2024 (dpa/MIA) - The Israeli military attacked the headquarters of the Hezbollah militia in a Beirut suburb on Friday, military spokesman Daniel Hagari said.

Hagari called it a targeted attack and said the headquarters was located under a residential building.

Thick clouds of smoke could be seen over Beirut as huge explosions rocked the city, a dpa reporter said.

Lebanese media reported about 10 separate strikes.

Witnesses said the attack is located in the densely populated Beirut suburb of Haret Hreik, near the international airport. They described extensive damage in the area, with blocked roads preventing ambulances from reaching those in need.
