The sounds of explosions ripped through Lebanon's capital Beirut on Friday as a strike targeted a residential building in the city's southern suburb.

The attack leveled the entire residential building to the ground. Initial reports indicate that three have been martyred and at least 17 were injured as a result of the attack, the Lebanese Ministry of Health stated shortly after.

In another update, the ministry said that 12 people were martyred and 66 others were injured in the strike that targeted an eight-storey residential building.

The Israeli occupation forces announced that they had carried out an airstrike on Beirut, pledging to publicize further details at a later time.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent said that the casualties include children and that the building is located in the al-Qaem neighborhood in the Southern Suburb of Beirut.

Our correspondent also reported that the Israeli strike was conducted via four missiles. 

Emergency services arrived at the site of the Israeli aggression to aid the casualties. 

Later on Friday, White House national security spokesperson, John Kirby, said that the United States was not informed of "Israel's" plan to conduct the strike ahead of time.

"I'm not aware of any prenotification of those strikes," Kirby said.

Sirens ring across Israeli settlements in Safad area

Almost an hour after the attack, sirens went off in multiple Israeli settlements in northern occupied Palestine, reaching the settlement of Kfar HaNassi and the occupied city of Safad. 

At nearly 5:08 pm (local time) Israeli warning sirens rang off in the areas of Rosh Pina, Safad, Ma'ale Yosef, Merom, Mount Hermon, Zar'it, Shtula, Hatzor HaGilit, Amuka, Dalton, Bar Yochai, Safsufa, Kadita, Machanaim, Tzahar, Shomera, Biriyeh, Ayelet HaShachar, and Kfar HaNassi. 

Israeli media reports indicate that a large barrage of rockets was launched at occupied territories after Hezbollah had fired more than 150 rockets at Israeli military sites on Friday morning.

Israeli terror regime carries on aggression on Lebanon

It is worth noting that these rocket attacks come after Israeli warplanes launched 52 raids on southern Lebanon on Thursday, claiming to have destroyed dozens of rocket launchers. 

The strike on the Southern Suburb of Beirut on Friday and the intense raids on Thursday, come after the Israeli regime commissioned a wide-scale terror attack on Lebanon, detonating thousands of wireless communication devices. 

In two separate wide-scale attacks that occurred on Tuesday and Wednesday, the Israeli regime detonated thousands of pagers and walkie-talkie wireless communication devices on Tuesday and Wednesday respectively. 

As a result of these attacks, nearly 3,000 individuals were injured and another 37 were martyred.

Yet, the leader of the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, has confirmed that the Resistance will continue to support the Palestinian people and expand its military campaign against the Israeli occupation's treacherous actions. His words are evident in the large-scale operations launched by the Resistance in the past few days, despite the continuous Israeli onslaught.
