The Israeli occupation's attempt to assassinate Wafiq Safa, head of the party's Coordination and Liaison Unit, has failed, a senior Hezbollah source confirmed to Al Mayadeen. The assassination was attempted via Israeli occupation airstrikes on Lebanon’s capital, Beirut, on Thursday evening.

This attack marks the third Israeli strike outside Beirut's Southern Suburbs, following previous attacks on the Kola and Bashoura areas.

According to the Lebanese Ministry of Health, the aggression led to the martyrdom of 22 people and the injury of 117 others, highlighting the severe human toll.

#AlMayadeen's correspondent reported that, for the first time, an Israeli airstrike has struck a building between the densely populated areas of Ras al-Nabaa and al-Nuwairi in Lebanon's capital, #Beirut.

Israeli strikes on residential buildings in central Beirut

The Israeli occupation carried out airstrikes targeting areas in central Beirut, for the third time striking areas outside the scope of Beirut's Southern Suburb.

One Israeli occupation airstrike struck a residential building between the densely populated areas of Ras al-Nabaa and al-Nuwairi in the heart of Lebanon’s capital, Beirut. According to Al Mayadeen's correspondent, the airstrike targeted the third floor of an eight-story building, leading to multiple injuries, with many still trapped inside.

Ambulances rushed to the scene as fires raged and thick smoke billowed from the targeted building.

Shortly after the initial strike, Israeli occupation forces launched a second airstrike targeting the nearby Basta neighborhood, just meters from the first location. This raid struck a four-story building, which collapsed completely, according to reports from the site of the attack.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent confirmed that both strikes resulted in multiple casualties as many people remained trapped beneath the rubble. The Lebanese Civil Defense teams continue their search and rescue efforts.
