Israeli warplanes carried out a series of airstrikes on the Southern Suburb of Beirut overnight Friday, reducing several residential buildings to rubble. The brutal strikes appear to be part of "Israel's" retaliatory actions against areas inhabited by the Resistance's popular support base following battlefield setbacks.
Al Mayadeen’s camera footage captured the widespread devastation in Beirut's Southern Suburb following Israeli airstrikes. The attacks severely damaged residential buildings across several residential neighborhoods, leaving behind scenes of destruction and rubble.

The hardest-hit locations included the areas of al-Mrayjeh, al-Laylaki area near the Lebanese University, and the Al-Amarken neighborhood near Chiah. Additional strikes targeted three buildings in the Rweiss area, Burj al-Barajneh, and Haret Hreik.
Despite Israeli claims that their strikes target buildings affiliated with the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon, emerging footage documenting the aftermath of these airstrikes and eyewitness statements continue to prove otherwise.
The strikes caused significant destruction, with smoke and dust billowing over the targeted areas, including buildings near the Lebanese University campus.
Israeli aggression on Lebanon intensifies as death toll exceeds 3,110
The Israeli occupation continued its aggression across Lebanon, intensifying airstrikes and artillery attacks across multiple regions, leaving a heavy toll on civilians.
According to the latest report from the Lebanese Ministry of Health on Friday, the death toll has risen to 3,117, with 13,888 injured since the start of the aggression.
In southern Lebanon, Israeli forces carried out airstrikes on the town of Shebaa, while artillery shelling struck the village of Kfar Shouba.
Other areas, including Kfar Tibnit and Qaaqaiyat al-Jisr, also sustained damage from Israeli bombardments.
Four civilians were reportedly killed in the village of Ghandourieh due to Israeli airstrikes, as per the National News Agency (NNA).
Further escalations targeted Beirut's Southern Suburb with air raids striking residential areas in Haret Hreik, Burj el-Barajneh, and Hadath, with 11 violent raids reported by NNA as of 11:50 pm.
Less than 10 minutes after the Israeli occupation army posted its so-called "evacuation orders" for different areas in Beirut's Southern Suburb on X, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported the first Israeli raid on the region.
The occupation army’s orders included neighborhoods like Haret Hreik, Hadath, Rweiss, and Burj al-Barajneh.
Israeli drones were also reported flying at low altitudes over Beirut, heightening public alarm as "Israel" threatened to bomb additional buildings in the areas in question.
