Israeli airstrikes targeted three branches of a Hezbollah-linked financial institution in Beirut on Sunday evening, as reported by Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency. The strikes hit Al-Qard Al-Hassan branches in the Hay Al-Sellom, Burj Al-Barajneh, and Ghobeiry areas of Beirut’s southern suburbs.
The news agency also mentioned that evacuations were taking place in Hermel, with buildings near an Al-Qard Al-Hassan branch being cleared. Additionally, the Baalbek Government Hospital in the Beqaa region relocated patients to safer rooms further away from a building associated with the financial institution across the street, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Health. The ministry confirmed that the hospital is operating normally despite the situation.
