'Israel' Bombs Al Manar TV, Al Nour Radio Overnight

By Al Mayadeen English

Al-Manar says its Beirut headquarters was hit by Israeli bombardment, as the Israeli occupation forces claim strikes on the Lebanese capital.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Beirut confirmed that Israeli occupation forces carried out a violent airstrike targeting the headquarters of Al Manar TV in the southern suburbs of Beirut, in addition to striking Al Nour Radio. Another raid hit a building in the Haret Hreik area.

Earlier, Israeli occupation forces had bombed several areas in the Lebanese capital. Hours before the attack on Al Manar, a building adjacent to Al Mayadeen's headquarters in the Jnah area of Beirut was also bombed.

Our correspondent had previously reported that a residential building threatened by the occupation in the southern suburbs housed a library and several shops, adding that the area has been subjected to multiple intense attacks throughout the day.

The new escalation in the Israeli aggression began during the early hours of dawn, with Israeli occupation artillery targeting the outskirts of Aita al-Shaab and Israeli raids hitting the towns of al-Shahabiya in Tyre District and al-Sultaniya in Bint Jbeil District, killing three civilians in al-Shahabiya and four in al-Sultaniya. Strikes also hit Burj Qalaway, while occupation forces simultaneously targeted Nabatieh, Adshit, Harouf, Toul, and Kfour. 

Along the southern border, Israeli forces targeted homes and surrounding areas in Yaroun, Aitaroun, and Khiam, as heavy artillery shelling pounded the border areas. An Israeli drone strike even targeted the center of Mays al-Jabal. In eastern Lebanon, Israeli warplanes flew at low altitude over the western and northern Bekaa valleys.
