Israel pounds Beirut suburbs after Hezbollah launches rocket barrage | BBC News


The Israeli military has carried out a wave of air strikes across Lebanon, including the capital Beirut, after the Iranian-backed armed group Hezbollah launched about 200 rockets into northern Israel.

Loud explosions were heard overnight coming from Beirut’s southern suburbs, a Hezbollah stronghold from which thousands of people have fled because of the intense Israeli attacks over the past week.

Some strikes also hit other parts of Beirut, including the city’s Corniche seafront. Lebanon’s health ministry said at least eight people were killed.

Hezbollah launched the rocket barrage across the Israeli border on Wednesday evening in an apparently co-ordinated attack with Iran.
