Loud explosions were heard in southern Beirut on Saturday evening as the Israeli army ordered the evacuation of several buildings.
The explosions were seen along the skyline of the densely populated southern suburbs of the Lebanese capital, following a warning by Israeli forces to evacuate the areas of the Haret Hreik and Choueifat neighborhoods.
This came after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed that Israel would retaliate against a missile attack launched by Iran.
“Israel will fight until the battle is won,” he said.
“No country in the world would accept such an attack. Israel has the right to defend itself and respond to these attacks, and it will do so. »
Israel continued its attacks in Lebanon, hitting a Palestinian refugee camp near the northern city of Tripoli on Saturday and launching at least 12 airstrikes in Beirut.
The attack on the Beddawi refugee camp near Tripoli killed a Hamas military commander and his wife and two daughters, according to the Palestinian group.
Tripoli is much further north than most of the Israeli attacks, which have been focused on southern Lebanon and Beirut.
Beirut’s southern suburbs were also hit overnight, killing at least six people, according to the Lebanese Foreign Ministry.
