Successive Israeli strikes pummelled Hezbollah's south Beirut stronghold on Thursday as authorities said raids in eastern Lebanon killed 22 people, and Hezbollah claimed its deepest attack on Israel in more than a year of hostilities.
Lebanon's official National News Agency (NNA) reported at least 12 strikes, some of them "very violent", on Beirut's southern suburbs throughout Thursday, targeting districts including Shiyah, Hadath and Haret Hreik, with a raid on the Kafaat neighbourhood destroying a building and damaging others nearby.
