The Israeli occupation forces renewed their aggression, on Sunday morning, targeting the Southern Suburb of the Lebanese capital, Beirut, even venturing into previously unstruck regions.

The new aggression with several airstrikes hit residential buildings, causing significant damage, including to a church in the Hadath area.

One of the airstrikes targeted a residential building near the Saint George Hospital in Hadath, and footage from Al Mayadeen showed extensive destruction in the area, which also affected the Church of Our Lady of the Assumption.

Additionally, another Israeli airstrike hit a 12-story residential building at the intersection of Mar Mikhael Church in the Chiyah area of southern Beirut, completely destroying the structure.

Other Israeli airstrikes targeted the Burj al-Barajneh area, near Ali Nasser Secondary School, and the Burj al-Hidaya School, both located within the Southern Suburb.

The Israeli occupation forces have continued to threaten further strikes on buildings in Beirut's Southern Suburb.
