On Thursday evening, thick plumes of black smoke billowed into the sky over central Beirut following strikes that hit the Ras el Nabaa and Nowayreh areas. The strikes caused a loud explosion that was heard by a source team on the ground, along with the sound of sirens from ambulances and gunshots.
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have stated that they are investigating the reports of the strikes. The situation in Beirut remains tense as residents and authorities assess the extent of the damage caused by the explosions.
