Airstrikes targeted Beirut in the early hours of Monday morning, marking a significant development in the ongoing conflict that began last October. This event represents the first instance of strikes hitting within the city limits of the Lebanese capital.
Footage from the scene captured chaotic scenes on the streets of Beirut following the strike. The videos, geolocated to near Cola Bridge, a major intersection in the city, depict the aftermath of the airstrikes.
It is noteworthy that prior to this incident, Israel's airstrikes on Beirut had primarily focused on the southern part of the city. These areas are densely populated and predominantly Shia neighborhoods, where Hezbollah holds a stronghold.
