Our correspondent described the latest attacks as among the most intense and extensive since the Israeli aggression on Lebanon began, with smoke blanketing much of the Southern Suburb and extending into Beirut’s airspace.
Earlier, the Israeli military carried out heavy airstrikes on residential buildings in Burj al-Barajneh, Raml al-Aali, and Hayy al-Ghadeer areas, according to Al Mayadeen's correspondent.
Al Mayadeen's cameras documented the extensive destruction caused by the Israeli aggression in the Chiah area of the Southern Suburb, where residents affirmed that the occupation’s goal was to inflict harm by targeting residential buildings.
