The rumors regarding the targeting and assassination of a Resistance leader in the latest aggression on the capital Beirut have been confirmed to be false, Al Mayadeen's correspondent asserted, citing trusted sources. 

The Israeli Broadcasting Authority had claimed that Israeli warplanes had carried out the assassination of a senior Hezbollah leader in the area of al-Basta in the Lebanese capital of Beirut, while Israeli channels alleged that Hezbollah leaders and others were targeted in the aggression. 

However, member of Parliament Amin Sherry confirmed that no Hezbollah member was present in the building, further noting that this would be the eighth attack on Beirut and stressing that no military target was struck in any of these assaults. 

Without prior warning and using bunker-buster munition, Israeli occupation forces carried out a massacre in #Basta al-Fawqa, a densely populated area in Beirut.

An Israeli airstrike in the early morning hours of Saturday targeted an 8-story residential building in the Basta area of Beirut, completely destroying it. Al Mayadeen's correspondent described the attack as a massacre, noting that surrounding buildings also sustained significant damage.

The explosions from the strike were heard across a wide area, with reports indicating that the sound reached as far as Mount Lebanon and even Saida. The blast was reportedly extremely loud, reverberating throughout Beirut.

It was also reported that the targeted area had not been warned in advance, and many residents were buried under the rubble while they slept.

16 martyrs were reported in the massacre in a still ongoing toll, as many remain missing under the rubble, and others critically injured.
