Israel’s strike on cities in Lebanon continue despite the ceasefire. Some of the more recent attacks have hit a commercial center in the southern part of the country and buildings in Beirut’s suburbs.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated he had personally approved a strike on Beirut, which he said targeted a commander in Hezbollah’s elite Radwan Force.
According to two videos shared by Ruptly (a video agency subsidiary of RT) on Thursday, the damage is intense. One video showed damage in Bourj al-Barajneh in the Beirut area, where what looked like a market was hit. Several nearby buildings were reduced to rubble in the process, and at least one residential block was heavily damaged.

“When the first warning arrived, we ran with our clothes,” local resident Hassan Mustafa Harb told Ruptly, as reported by RT. “When things calmed down, we returned to our home here and found this massive destruction.”
The second video showed damage on the outskirts of Al-Saksakiyeh in the southern Tyre district, where an attack struck a commercial center. Footage showed smoke rising from the debris and wrecked cars. Some fires were still burning, and blood stains were visible on the ground amongst the abandoned belongings.
An eyewitness to the strikes, Youssef Younes, said he ran for safety when he heard a drone fire a missile. “It was either a warning strike, or the missile did not explode,” he told Ruptly. “Moments later, we came back here to see what had happened, and then the heavy shelling began. Four or five people who were passing along the road were killed.”
Since the beginning of the war in the Middle East in late February, Israeli strikes on Lebanon have killed more than 2,700 people, with thousands more wounded.
