On Friday, several powerful explosions shook the Lebanese capital of Beirut, causing chaos and destruction in the city. The blasts were witnessed by source teams on the ground, who reported multiple large plumes of smoke rising from an area in the southern suburbs known as Dahiyeh. This incident followed a series of very loud booms that were heard by CNN teams in the vicinity.
Dahiyeh is a densely populated area with a significant presence of the militant group Hezbollah, including many of its top leaders. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) spokesperson, Daniel Hagari, confirmed in a video statement that the Israeli military had targeted Hezbollah's central headquarters in the region.
